Show Thread Enhancements - Submit threads, blogs, articles to facebook, twitter, myspace and others - addtoany

Just thought I would share a way I found for your members to submit threads to any social networking site like facebook, Twitter, digg...any of them!


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To add this code, you will need to edit your "ShowThread" template.


Go to: Admincp>Styles & Templates>Style manager>Edit templates>Show Thread templates>SHOWTHREAD


In the SHOWTHREAD template, Find:

<div id="thread_controls" class="thread_controls">
<div>

And below that, add this code:

<a class="a2a_dd" href="http://www.addtoany.com/share_save"><img src="http://static.addtoany.com/buttons/share_save_171_16.png" width="171" height="16" border="0" alt="Share/Bookmark"/></a><script type="text/javascript">a2a_show_title=1;a2a_num_services=14;</script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.addtoany.com/menu/page.js"></script>

If you would like to customize the button code, go to www.addtoany.com


Anyway, that is it! very simple, light weight and effective! Enjoy!

well, you could, but again, this mod only grabs the page name so for example, if it was in a group, it would not quote the messages in the album, just the page name...same with albums

if you would like i will show you how to add it to them as well. just let me know if you still want that!

Sure if you could please give me directions I'd appreciated. I already marked as installed.

So is this not possible at all? I mean there would be no link or description?

Thank you.

Thanks

Why can not I stay down like the others I have up

QuickQuestion:
I just went to 'share' a thread via Facebook, and the information that appeared in Facebook was pointing to my website address... yet there was no text of the thread, or a direct link to the thread.
Just a link to the website's homepage.

Do I have something mis-configured?
Thanks for the help TrailRecon... it is very much appreciated!! :up::up:

We are having the same problem. When sharing a thread through Facebook Share, it initially shows the thread title and the proper url to the specific thread, but then it is quickly replaced with the site title, url to the main site, and a generic description that says "powered by vBulletin".

I created a simple link to Facebook Share from a specific thread and we saw the same behavior, so I don't think it is something wrong with this mod as much as it is a bug with vBulletin 4.0.

Any suggestions?

Why better social bookmarking is not included in vB4 I will never know.

Thanks for figuring this out. Added to CMS, Forums, and Blog pages

Thank you for this excellent addition to my forums. I installed it in the forums, articles and blog. I did not do the calendar or albums area as I need it to NOT grab the page title.

I will start looking into a way to share individual posts but this one won't do it

I too would love to be able to have this option above or below each reply in a post as well as the option i have now to send the entire page. I am no coder, but maybe putting this mod in the "posbit" or "postbit_legacy" template will work.

Also, can somebody tell me how to add this to the bottom of the articles (since it is already at the top) and the top of the blog (since it is already at the bottom). This would be very helpful on long articles and blogs.

I have my bookmarking turned off now that this is here if that is any help to you.
