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!




Here you will find a demo --> CLICK HERE













EDIT:

If you would like to add this to the CMS articles, see post #8 HERE

If you would like to add this to blogs, see post #16 HERE

Can't quite figure out what you mean; is it like this?

Where do I access this "Social Networking" options from?

Does anyone know how to do sharing of specific posts to Facebook Group Walls?

I apologize.

I was not running this temporarily. I have put the links back. It should now look the same on our forum as it did in the attached picture

You were doing nothing wrong. It was just that I had removed them.

yah there are many ways to do this. This is not the only way to interact with the social networking sites.

This is just a very simple to use and very lightweight way of connecting to pretty much any of them with very little work. Really it is just another option I found that I thought I would share with everybody.
