Show Thread Enhancements - Digg Display & Digg Count

Get your users to Digg more threads with this simple modification. It's more visible and will promote more Diggs.

What this does differently from the stock Bookmarks is put the Digg button on top of the post in a nice little box and displays how many diggs the post has gotten. This uses javascript provided by Digg. The background color can also be defined.

Update: Fixed the javascript so it will now show the thread title if it has special characters in it.

In SHOWTHREAD find:

<td class="vbmenu_control" id="threadtools" nowrap="nowrap">

Add this just above: (be sure to add your forum URL so it Digg can grab the title, you may optionally remove that line if you have an SEO mod installed but the title will have to be submitted manually)

<!-- Digg -->
<td class="vbmenu_control" id="digg" nowrap="nowrap">
<script type="text/javascript">
digg_url = 'SITE URL/showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]';
digg_title = "$threadinfo[title]";
digg_skin = 'compact';
digg_window = 'new';
</script>
<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</td>
<!-- / Digg -->

Indeed. :up:

Thanks for catching that, it's been changed. I've also added the URL so it will display the digg count on every page of a thread and automatically add the title.

good one, but is it possible to change white background?

[ericgtr]

Yes, change it to this, you may define any background color you like

<!-- Digg -->
<td class="vbmenu_control" id="digg" nowrap="nowrap">
<script type="text/javascript">
digg_url = 'SITE URL/showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]';
digg_title = "$threadinfo[title]";
digg_bgcolor = '#ffffff';
digg_skin = 'compact';
digg_window = 'new';
</script>
<script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

This integration has boosted the traffic on my site in a huge way both in guests and new members. Digg is an extremely popular site and when people see the actual diggs in their posts it boosts it that much more.

is there anyway to make the background transparent or use a gradient as the bar where my digg button is has a gradient image in the background
