Current Version: 3.2

More Share Options The Next Generation (v 3.0) is a complete rewrite of my "More Share Options" mod. If you are looking for the old version I am keeping it attached (More Share Options for VB4 by BOP5v261.zip) but it will no longer be updated or supported.

The purpose of the mod is to add additional share "buttons" (Besides Facebook Like) to vBulletin.

Demo: Practically every page of Qapla.com has the "Gold" version enabled.

There is GOLD Version with additional features available at:
http://www.qapla.com/mods/showthread...4-by-BOP5-GOLD

The FREE Version allows sharing to the following sites:

Facebook (Like OR Recommend with Send Button Option, and with old style "Share" option, Dark Option, Show Faces Option)
Twitter (Specify "Via" Username, Related Account, default hash tags, and language- With or without counts)
Google +1 (With or without count, option to use built in Facebook language or specify custom language)
Add This (Option to input publisher ID for analytics tracking, enable/disable printing, disable duplicate sites option)

The FREE Version also has the following Style Vars for basic styling:

Height of Share Bar (in Pixels)
Padding
Margins

The GOLD Version has all of the above PLUS the following additional share options:

Pinterest (With or without count, option to specify pinned image, better Pin It sharing button in Beta available for testing)
Digg (With count or icon only)
Linked In (With or without count)
StumbleUpon (Several options with/without counts)
Reddit (Several options with/without "points")
Custom Buttons (Add as many additional custom buttons as you want!)

The GOLD Version also has additional Style Vars for complete control of Share Bar Styling:

Background
Border

(Both FREE and GOLD can be completely customized by CSS as well if you prefer not to use Style Vars.)

Some of the major differences between More Share Options TNG and the Original Version:

Share Buttons now show on ALL pages, including pages by 3rd party applications like Arcades and Media Galleries.
Twitter Count Now WORKS
Table-less design (All formatting done via CSS/Style Vars)
Additional built-in Facebook and Twitter options
New options to disable by Usergroup and/or THIS_SCRIPT value (as well as by Forum and by Style)
Pinterest Now Integrated (Gold version only)

As with the prior version, fast loading Asynchronous JavaScript is used everywhere possible.

IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTICE!

If you are "upgrading" from an old version (any version less than 3.0) be aware this version (TNG) has been coded as a completely new and separate mod. It will NOT upgrade an old version.

I suggest if you run an old version of "More Share Options" you disable it via Product Manager in Admin CP.

Install and configure this new mod and make sure it works and you like it.

If you do like it then you can uninstall the old mod from Product Manager.

IMPORTANT - Some users have reported the new mod will not run until the old mod is uninstalled. If you have installed 3.0 and it is not running, please try uninstalling the old mod first.

VBSEO Compatibility:

UPDATE: It has been reported working with VBSEO!

Basically I have no idea how compatible this may be with VBSEO as I don't have access to a VBSEO enabled forum. If you use VBSEO be sure it works as designed (you can share pages.)

Test share 3 pages: The Forum Home, a Thread (showthread), and a Forum (forumdisplay) - if all 3 shares work I am confident the mod will work completely for you. I suggest you use Twitter or Facebook for your testing.

If you do run into VBSEO issues please post here and I will do my best to fix.

General Compatibility:
This has been tested as far back a VB 4.0.8 and as recent as VB 4.2.0. It is expected to work on all VB 4.x.x versions however if you have a very old version of VB please try the FREE version before purchasing the Gold to ensure compatibility. This is not compatible with VB 3.x.

As of version 3.2.0 there is a recommended manual file edit for those running VB 4.1.9 or below.

VB 3.8 Version Here.

Please Mark as Installed if you use this.

Donations always appreciated. :up:

To be clear the New (TNG) Version is: More Share Options TNG FREE (v 3.2) by BOP5.zip

I'm going to re-write the permissions to ENABLE by usergroup and will have the regular groups (registered users, mods, super-mods, admins) enabled by default but easily changed.

Great fix! It works not using the secondary usergroup perfectly! Many thanks

Hi! I bought the Gold version, really glad to have this mod.

It works when show under nav bar is selected.

But when I turn that off and insert {vb:raw more_share_tng} into a template, nothing comes up. I am trying to get this into the top of articles in the CMS.

This is my first time doing anything this, so maybe I am missing something. If I just put in some text like AAA in the template it appears, so that part of the template is visible.

Running 4.2

Thanks,
JM

The ONLY templates it will work on are Header, Navbar, and Footer. It is not set to work in any other templates. It says that in the instructions.

You can use a template conditional to only show it in the CMS if that is your goal-

Code:

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'vbcms'">{vb:raw more_share_tng}</vb:if>

But still must be in one of the 3 templates mentioned.

Ooops sorry, I didn't see that!

Thanks for the reply! And the mod!

Condition to show Share Button(s) Only on Specific / Guest Viewable Forusm

This is a useful conditional if you want to hide the Facebook Like button (and all of the share buttons) in forums that aren't open to the public. If someone "Likes" a thread in a private forum people will be greeted with a no-permission "have to register" message which usually people will just get annoyed at rather than register. In fact if it's a private forum they may not even have access even after registering.

To use this conditional edit the SHOWTHREAD template... find the code:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['fb_likebutton']">

and change it too:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['fb_likebutton'] AND !in_array($threadinfo['forumid'], array(3,4,5))">

Where 3,4,5 are forum id's of the forums you want to hide the button in. You can add or remove more numbers as needed so long as they are separated by commas.

Alternate location for Share Buttons

This location has been used by VB 3.x forms and was recently suggested by someone (forget who, sorry) as a good location for the Facebook button on VB 4.x.

To do this edit the SHOWTHREAD template.

Find the code:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['fb_likebutton']">
			{vb:raw fblikebutton}
		</vb:if>

DELETE IT.

Now find the code:

Code:

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

And right below it add:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['fb_likebutton']">
			<span style="margin-left:0px; position:absolute; left:60px;
margin-top:3px;">{vb:raw fblikebutton}</span>
		</vb:if>

This is for the default vBulletin 4 style. You may have to play with the style settings to get it to look right on a custom style.

This looks good on Chrome, IE9, and Firefox. The height alignments are a little off on Opera browsers but nothing too bad.

Screenshot Attached.

Issue 1:
These relocation instructions do not work for me: vBulletin 4.2.0 PL2

Using the Gold TNG version - see http://localsearchforum.catalystemar...L-LAUNCH-TODAY!

Issue 2:

As you can see from the link, the share icons are not evenly spaced. How do I fix that?

Regarding issue 1- sorry those tips are not relevant to version 3.0+ of More Share Options. I have edited that post- that was legacy stuff for the old version of the mod.'

Issue 2 - They aren't evenly spaced because there are no likes yet for Facebook or Google. Once you get 1 like for each the count boxes will show filling in the gaps. There is no way to make them evenly spaced and keep the counts. If you disable the count for the Google button then it will have better spacing but you'll never see the count.

There's no way to disable the count for Facebook, it will need that room regardless.'

djbaxter · #**699** 07-31-2012, 11:43 AM

Would inserting {vb:raw more_share_tng} work to accomplish that relocation? and if so, where would it be inserted?

BirdOPrey5 · #**700** 07-31-2012, 06:46 PM

Due to the global nature of the TNG version of this mod {vb:raw more_share_tng} can only be pasted in global templates (header, navbar, and footer.) As designed it simply won't work in any other template.

Hi Joe, hopefully this is an easy one for you!
Firstly, thanks for this mod, Its awesome! Secondly, the text next to the facebook like button (Be the first of you friends to like this) inherits the text color from the body.plugin I have tried altering all of the code but to no avail? I have altered these so far:

PHP Code:


			
.connect_widget .connect_widget_text {

    line-height: 14px;

    color:#ffffff

}

.connect_widget td.connect_widget_vertical_center {

    border-spacing: 0;

    font-size: 11px;

    line-height: normal;

    color: #ffffff;

}

body {

    color: #ffffff;

    direction: ltr;

    font-family: 'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;

    font-size: 11px;

    line-height: 1.28;

    text-align: left;

}

Changing the color code from #333333 to #ffffff on all of the above changes the color of the font, which I am saving into the additional.css template, however, the font still reverts back to #333333 after refreshing the page? Is there anything you suggest? Thanks again.

Mick
