Miscellaneous Hacks - More Share Options TNG by BOP5 (Facebook, Twitter, Google +1, AddThis) Share Buttons

Brought to you by BirdOPrey5
www.Qapla.com

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.

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

I'm using VBSeo

Did you turn off the "Use Standard URL" option as suggested for VBSEO users?

If so please give me a link to a post on your forum where I can see the Like button.

This is a very nice mod! My entire forum is SSL encrypted, so I'm afraid it might throw warnings with external content. Do I have any options? I think there are SSL options for Facebook/Twitter...any ideas?

[BirdOPrey5]

I don't know what you will need but this mod is not going to be SSL native anytime soon.

[BirdOPrey5]

Sorry for the Delay but version 2.2 is now released.

I have tested it on Firefox, Chrome, IE, Opera, and Safari browsers. I have installed it and tested it on VB 4.0.8, 4.1.2, and 4.1.4. I expect it should work on all 4.x versions.

I have changed MANY of the settings, even if upgrading you will need to go to the mod settings in Options and configure it before using it.

There are MANY share buttons now, see the top post for the full listing.

Just because they are all available doesn't mean you SHOULD enable them all. I suggest choosing only the ones that will work best for your community. Each button adds loading time to your page and takes up valuable screen real-estate. This is a balancing act you need to figure out what works best for YOUR forum.

As requested I added share options to Pictures, Albums, and Member Profiles. I also added a share option to FORUMHOME for people who want to share the forum index.

More locations may come in future versions.

Errors on vbulletin suite 4.1.5 Beta 1

Warning: Unexpected character in input: ''' (ASCII=39) state=1 in /home/baanfars/domains/baanfarsang.com/public_html/includes/class_core.php(4490) : eval()'d code on line 96

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/baanfars/domains/baanfarsang.com/public_html/includes/class_core.php(4490) : eval()'d code on line 97

[BirdOPrey5]

I can't test it on the 4.1.5 beta yet. Like I said I installed this on 4.0.8, 4.1.2, and 4.1.4 without issue.

Maybe try downloading it again in case of a corrupt file... otherwise it could be an incompatibility with 4.1.5 or a bug with the Beta product. I don't usually install Betas so will probably need to wait until 4.1.5 is released before I will test it on 4.1.5.

Love this mod however for some reason on my static style the Like button goes WAY FAR OUT LEFT

EDIT: I went with it in it’s default location. It looks great!

However, there’s an issue with it on Chrome and Firefox for fixed styles.

Thanks!

BOP, thanks a lot for this mod. I think this is going to be a great add-on. Keep up the excellent work....

[ExcelFox]

Please let us know when you could upgrade it for 4.1.5 Beta
