Any advice?

I've changed the hook forumdisplay_query:

PHP Code:

if ($vbulletin->options['tDigg_enabled'])
{
    $show['tDigg_forums'] = false;

    if (in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], explode(',', $vbulletin->options['tDigg_forums'])))
    {
        $lastpost_info2 .= ', thread.tdiggs';
        $sqlsortfield = 'tdiggs DESC,' . $sqlsortfield;
        $show['tDigg_forums'] = true;
    }
} 


I've removed the threadbit patch in hook parse_templates.

Open template threadbit and search for:

        $thread[title_editable]
        <div>

insert below:

            <if condition="$vbulletin->options['tDigg_enabled'] AND $show['tDigg_forums'] AND !$show['rmanage']">
                <span style='float: right'>&nbsp;<b><span id='votecount_$threadnum' style='position: relative; top: -5px;'>$thread[tdiggs]</span></b>
                    <if condition="$thread['tdiggs'] >= 0">
                        <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/t-us.png" width="18px" height="18px">
                    <else />
                        <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/t-ds.png" width="18px" height="18px">
                    </if>
                </span>
            </if>

Done!

Hey coders if you want to PM me your email addy, Ill send you a package I tweaked. It includes the ability to sort by default, sort on click, usergroup restrictions on viewing and digging and several other overhead tweaks.

Thanks for this great mod! Works fine for me.

I think this mod can replace the standart vb- thread rating very easy. It would be awesome if it could be rewritten like this:

- allow threads in forums 1,2,3,... to be rated.
- when rated: do NOT sort them in forums 1,2,3,... by diggs
- show top-digged threads in extra forum, extra site, forumhome and/or in extra box.


So it would end up in a forumwide rating system where only threads from certain forums (e.g. no off-topic) can be digged. I think such a system could motivate users to post informative and helpfull topics.

please excuse my humble english

Is the rating supposed to work when the thumb is pressed on forumdisplay? By default, it only seems to work when pressed inside of the thread. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong.

I can get it to work Help please!
I can see green thumbs and diggs count (http://latforums.lv/forum1.html), but no "digg this" button (http://latforums.lv/thread21237.html)
How do I fix this? What is wrong?
