Click this link and you will know what to do
Just Copy the Code and Put it anywhere on your Vbulletin Page

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is How to Publish a Thread to FaceBook Keeping the Facebook Publish Button on a First Post of a Thread Only (Follow Steps):-

1-AdminCP
2- Styles & Templates
3- Search in Templates
4- Look for Postbit_legacy or Postbit (Which Ever one you Use)
5- In there look for the code:

<if condition="$show['quickreply'] AND !$show['threadedmode']">
<a href="$post[replylink]" rel="nofollow" id="qr_$post[postid]" onclick="return false">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/quickreply.gif" alt="$vbphrase[quick_reply_to_this_message]" border="0" />
</a>
</if>

6- Then Add this Code below it:

<if condition="$forum[forumid]=='10,20,30'">
<else />
<if condition="$post[postcount] == 1">
<script>function fbs_click() {u=location.href;t=document.title;window.open('http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u='+encodeURIComponent(u)
+'&t='+encodeURIComponent(t),'sharer','toolbar=0,status=0,width=626,height=436');return false;}</script><a href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=
<http://www.YOURSITE.com>" onclick="return fbs_click()" target="_blank">
<img src="http://www.YOURSITE.com/FaceBookIMAGEPATH" alt="Share on facebook" style="border-style: none"/>
</a>
</if>
</if>

The RED Font Indicates the Forums You wish to EXCLUDE
(lol traditional way I dont know if there is any other way)
The GREEN Font Needs to be changed too
Save and you are done.

My photoshop knowledge is limited but I would be happy to help you create one, just send me how you want it to be and I will try to create one for you

In the Screenshot you can see how the facebook button is after the quickreply button now.

what template do we add this to?

[ArnyVee]

Okay, so is this just another way to 'import' a 'feed' into Facebook? I have my RSS feed already going to my Facebook account and it comes through as a note.

What else does this do?

[Cobra-J82]

I hope I am more clear now
It was like 2 am when I found how to do this publish thing lol
Please read again and ask if you have a queston

ArnyVee
This is just a simple template edit which will allow your users to publish threads they like to there profile, just like in youtube.com for example, you see there is a facebook button under every video, when you click on it it will share the video on your profile.
