Hi guys,

This was initially a template modification i created, i decided to make things much easier for people to compile it all into this product,

What is Social Networking in Postbit & Profile:

Well the name pretty much gives it away! This mod will add social networking icons for 10 social websites into both the vertical and horizontal postbit and now in a users profile with features like:

• Option to turn Modification on/off.
• Option to enable icons with or without a block.
• Option to turn profile block on/off.
• Option on location of profile block.
• 2x Icon sets 16x16 and 24x24.
• Mouseover and Mouseout animation.
• etc.

-INSTALLATION-

-STEP 1-
Goto admincp -> User Profile Fields -> Add new User Profile Field and add the following fields:

Profile Field Type - Single-Line Text Box

Once you have created the profiled fields, take a note of the field numbers.

Note: If you do not want to use all of these websites then just add the fields of the websites that you do want to use.

-STEP 2-
Download the attached zip file, extract the files, open the UPLOAD folder and choose which icon set you wish to use, the options are 16x16 or 24x24 icons. Once you have decided, FTP the images folder to the root of your forums.

-Step 3-
Goto admincp -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product and upload the install file (product-socialpostbit.xml).

-Step 4-
Goto admincp -> Options -> [Boydy]Social Networking in Postbit. Now you must decide how you want to configure the mod, you can see examples of with/without block in the screenshots below. Next all you need to do is input all of the relevant profile field numbers and that's it! If you do not wish to use some of the websites included just leave the setting blank or set to 0.

And that's it! Screenshots below of the icon sets, admincp settings and the mod itself. Credit for the icons goes to sawb.What's new in version 1.0.2:

• Social networking block now added to profile.
• Option to enable/disable profile block.
• Option on location of profile block. (TOP, MIDDLE, BOTTOM)
• Some minor code and template changes from original release.
• Added version checking to the mod.
• etc.

What's new in version 1.0.3:

• Fixed bug with postbit setting.
• Added new setting for enabling/disabling the postbit only.
• etc.

I do have some other idea's on how to further extend this modification which you'll see in a future update. If you are upgrading please remember to ALLOW OVERWRITE.

If you install this and For future updates and support please remember to mark as installed!

I've had a lot of PM's requesting my Paypal to donate so i have now set it up on here, feel free to donate if you like although please do not feel you have to

All donations are greatly appreciated

So it should be:

Twitter = 24
Facebook = 25
Google+ = 26
YouTube = 27

Fix that and you should be sorted

OK, I'll give it a whirl.

wooooooooo! Finally....that was it. Thanks man!

[boydy]

No problem

Cheers

Now that I've finally got it installed...lol...one last question I think.

Is the above quote what I need to do to get them all in one line since I am only allowing 4 new fields? (Twitter, FB, Google+, and Youtube) I wouldn't need 2 lines for all 10 icons since I'm only using 4, right?

Cheers.

What do I add if I want a digg option? Any way to manually code it into the postbit_social?

[LuDawgs]

By the way, I have the digg button. I just need to understand how to code it. Seems like I had it working with your last version.

[boydy]

Digg will be included in the coming update...

The images and link are not correct at all. They are all mixed up???

[boydy]

Can you elaborate a bit more please, everything is fine with the image names and location if you follow the instructions.

I did follow the instructions, but for some reason, none of the image's/links are working properly.

One of the images, simply goes to a website on one of my domains that does not even exist. I checked my usercp settings of where I input the information, and admincp area as well. All the information looks correct to me.

You can check out what I mean by visiting http://forums.millenniumcapitalcorp....=3266#post3266 and try to click on one of the social media icons.

Also, here is two screen shots so you can see how settings are set up.
