Miscellaneous Hacks - vBsociable

What is this!?
This modification is a continuation of my vBdigger hack. This hack displays buttons in a new thread tools menu "Submit Tools" that will allow your users to submit a thread to many of the popular social sites such as digg, del.icio.us, reddit, etc.

Current Version
1.0.2

Current Features:
Can submit to the following sites:

• del.icio.us
• Digg
• Facebook
• feedmelinks
• Furl
• Ma.gnolia
• NewsVine
• Netscape
• Reddit
• Slashdot
• SphereIt
• Spurl
• StumbleUpon
• Technorati
• YahooMyWeb

It allows to disable this menu for certain forums, turn it on/off, open the links in a new window or not.

Features flagged for future version(s):

• Allow to remove sites from the listing, via ACP
• Add: google, askjeeves, earthlink, simpy, bluedot.us and indianpad
• Anything else that you all suggest.

Will this work on x.x.x ??
Unless otherwise stated, this will work on all 3.6 versions.

Sounds cool. How do I install?

1. Upload the images found in images/buttons/ to your images/buttons/ folder.
2. Import the product, product-vBsociable.xml
3. Make the following template edits:
   SHOWTHREAD
   
   Find:
   

   	<td class="vbmenu_control" id="threadtools" nowrap="nowrap">
   		<a href="$show[nojs_link]#goto_threadtools"<if condition="is_browser('ie')"> accesskey="3"</if>>$vbphrase[thread_tools]</a>
   		<if condition="$show['popups']"><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("threadtools"); </script></if>
   	</td>

   Add before:
   

   	<if condition="$show['vBsociable']">
   	<td class="vbmenu_control" id="vBsociable" nowrap="nowrap">
   		<a href="$show[nojs_link]#goto_vBsociable">$vbphrase[vBsociable]</a>
   		<if condition="$show['popups']"><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("vBsociable"); </script></if>
   	</td>
   	</if>

   Find:
   

   <!-- thread tools menu -->

   Add before:
   

   <if condition="$show['vBsociable']">
   <!-- vBsociable menu -->
   <div class="vbmenu_popup" id="vBsociable_menu" style="display:none">
   	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
   	<tr>
   		<td class="thead">$vbphrase[vBsociable]<a name="goto_vBsociable"></a></td>
   	</tr>
   	<tr>
   		<td class="vbmenu_option">$vbphrase[vBsociable_submit]</td>
   	</tr>
   	$vBsociablebits
   	</table>
   </div>
   <!-- / vBsociable menu -->
   </if>

4. Set options in AdminCP > vBulletin Options > Tread Display Options (showthread)

Then the product seems to partially install (it doesn't work but shows up in the installed products). what can I do to solve it?

Thanks for your help.

[vwdforum]

worked on 3.8 at booze britain

I also added a couple of others to the list.

Is there any way of greating a keywords tag, on top of the LINK, and TITLE ?

[Eric]

I've been very busy the last couple months. I'll see what I can do about getting another version out.

a) Can you configure which sites are listed in the drop down.
b) Is it now possible to choose a select few like Digg, delicious etc and add them to postbit.

Not yet, but that will be an option in the next version.

Excellent. I don't suppose you could give us the idiots guide to exactly how this works ?

When you submit the content of the post to digg etc, does it inclue the link back to your forum to increase traffic ? Is that the purpose?

I've never "dugg" anything so not entirely sure how the process works.

Features flagged for future version(s):

• Allow to remove sites from the listing, via ACP

This is what I'm waiting for.

In the meantime - can sites be removed via the xml file?

[Bounce]

Is it possible to be able to post into another forum ? Like having a custom site...

i.e : post in my own forum and would post it here (vb.org) (provided they are both members) and if selected in the submit tools.

Thanks

Outstanding. Thanks SecondV. InStalled.

Since I will be starting a new job soon, I will not have any time to work on my modifications.
Therefore, anyone who wants to take my modification(s) and build/improve them further, are free to do so.
All I ask is you give proper credit.

[user_not_found]

Very good thanks

[sigh]

If you're still working on this at all, it would be nice to be able to apply this to the vBulletin Blog posts as well.

Cheers!
