Social Group and Album Enhancements - "Share" Button in NavBar and Showthread (links to over 200 social networking sites)

This is more of an idea than a really involved mod. Just a little template edit that places the "Share" button from www.addthis.com the Navbar so your posts and threads can be Shared with the world easily. Thanks go out to all the other people who published mods that showed me how.

1. DEMO HERE to see if this is something you want to do.

2. Go to www.addthis.com and get your own button code. Save in WordPad then go to step 3.

3. In navbar template find:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily" accesskey="2">$vbphrase[todays_posts]</a></td>
                </if>

4. Insert below: (REPLACE CODE IN RED WITH CODE YOU GOT FROM WWW.ADDTHIS.COM IN STEP 2.)

<td class="vbmenu_control"><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&pub=hearts4horses" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, '', '[url]', '[TITLE]')" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onclick="return addthis_sendto()"><img src="http://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/lg-share-en.gif" width="125" height="16" alt="Bookmark and Share" style="border:0"/></a><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js?pub=hearts4horses"></script>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->
</td>

5. Save

6. (optional) Post a thread notifying your members about the new feature.

7. Click "Installed"

This is a simple way to allow for additional cross networking for your forums.

Glad you like it.

Does it have to go on the navbar?

I found another good place to put this.

In your SHOWTHREAD template find the code

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

Add this code above it. It will bookmark threads.

Great idea, thanks for sharing it. See, if I was smarter, I would have thought of it...

...so I'm off to install in SHOWTHREAD...
