Miscellaneous Hacks - More Share Options FREE for VB5 by BOP5

This is my first released mod for vBulletin 5.

vBulletin 5 mods are completely different than VB 4.x and VB 3.x mods- they work different and are designed differently.

Be sure you read the install instructions in the README file before installing. You will need to upload files, after that the mod should auto-install. (Make sure the product/hook system is enabled.)

More Share Options FREE for VB5 brings the Facebook Like/Recommend/Send buttons, Twitter Tweet button, Google +1 button, and AddThis share button to vBuletin 5. AddThis, if you're not aware is a single button that allows content submission to HUNDREDS of social media sites including ALL the popular ones such as Digg, Pinterest, and even direct to email like Gmail.

This mod is essential to give users an easy way to share interesting threads, photos, and other content on your site with their friends and followers.

This is the FREE version.

The GOLD version is available on Qapla.com and has the following extra features-

• Separate buttons for: Pinterest, Digg, Stumbleupon, Linked In, and Reddit
• Ability to add new/custom buttons
• Usergroup Permissions (Show only to specific usergroups)
• Disable by forum (now called channels)
• Disable by page (What would have been THIS_SCRIPT on VB4 is now page numbers)
• Disable by Style

Live Demo: Here. (Demo is still VB4 version, very similar.)

If you have any questions, and I expect you will, feel free to ask them in this thread.

Please "Mark as Installed" if you use this.
Please Nominate It for MOTM if you like it.
Donations Always Appreciated! :up:

1) Alignment out of frame

True, I find that the Like button for Facebook ends up wayyyy to the left (IF the browser is stretched too wide), but the others Twitter, Google, and the pull down for the rest, align okay.

Correct. I see the same just to the right.

I am suddenly getting a 403 FORBIDDEN error on Facebook-share all other works superbly well.

Well, at my 5.2.4 forum the Facebook integration works correctly. But the only thing we use this mod for is the Facebook Like button. This works via this mod.

To publish something to Facebook at the same time as at the forum is a vbulletin function not part of this Mod anyway. Is that what you mean by the Facebook-share?

I know this mod is due for an update, sorry, it will be the first big mod I overhaul when I get some time.

The only thing this mod does is put various Like/Share buttons on the page, it isn't designed to automatically share any content upon posting.

It seems that with vb 5.3.4 the AddThis button is no longer there...the Facebook, Twitter and Google buttons remain.

[mdawg]

Only the Facebook and Twitter buttons remain.

1)
And also there is an issue that the http needs to be changed to https for at least twitter:

<script id="bop5twt" type="text/javascript">
(function() {
var twitterScriptTag = document.createElement('script');
twitterScriptTag.type = 'text/javascript';
twitterScriptTag.async = true;
twitterScriptTag.src = 'http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
s.parentNode.insertBefore(twitterScriptTag, s);

http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js
needs to be
https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js

2) Within the AddThis_toolbox you appear to be using, also there is an https problem:

addth.src = 'http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pubid=';

should be
addth.src = 'https://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pubid=';

Both of these appear to be inside the
product_bop5moresharevb5.xml

[mdawg]

All right I went into your product_bop5moresharevb5.xml and using Xcode converted all of your http to https. The mod runs better now. More of your buttons load.

However, the following URLs used within your XML are dead links:

https://www.google.com/webmasters/+1/button/

https://twitter.com/about/resources/buttons#tweet

https://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share

so you need to update your app to use new resources, or remove whatever functionality these URLs need to pull, because it leads to page load errors otherwise.

I believe these are the errors that still now load related to your app, AFTER changing all of the http to https within your XML:

there were more errors previously, but these remain.

I disabled this mod because it doesn't seem to work any longer on vb 5.7.5, at least not the Facebook "Like" button.
