Mini Mods - Easiest way to add Social Bookmarks on Thread

hi friends

You do not need to use any third party social book mark tools or facebook code to be loaded on your pages , just copy paste these few lines and have social bookmark tools easily


here is the method.

go to edit templates

go to showthread templates

edit SHOWTHREAD

find this code

<h1>
			{vb:rawphrase thread}: <span class="threadtitle"><a href="{vb:raw thread_url}" title="{vb:rawphrase reload_this_page}">{vb:raw threadinfo.title}</a></span>
		</h1>

ADD THESE LINES after the code

<!-- Social Book Marks -->

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=http://www.YOURFORUMADDRESS.COM/{vb:raw thread_url}&amp;title={vb:raw thread.title}" target=_blank><img src="FACEBOOK IMAGE PATH SOURCE"></a>

<a href=https://plus.google.com/share?url=http://www.YOURFORUMADDRESS.COM/{vb:raw thread_url} target=_blank><img src="GOOGLE PLUS IMAGE PATH SOURCE"></a>

<a href="https://twitter.com/share?url=http://www.YOURFORUMADDRESS.COM/{vb:raw thread_url}&amp;text={vb:raw thread.title}" target=_blank><img src="TWITTER IMAGE PATH SOURCE"></a>

<!-- Social Book Marks -->

1) REPLACE YOUR FORUM ADDRESS with your forum URL
2) Replace the TWITTER FACEBOOK AND GOOGLE PLUS images sources as you upload them on your server.

This is a Template Mod, not an addon.

Ok this is what I was looking for. However, can it be modified so a tweet button will show up for each post in the thread? Right now all you can do is tweet the first post which is the post that started the thread. Can that be done??

yes you can do it but modifying signature template.

[jrw422dx]

Could you post the template mod to do it? Would be good to have a facebook button to do the same too

{vb:raw thread_url} is enough. I didn't need to add the url of my forums before that.

Thank you

webmaster74 , i have rechecked and found that your observation is not correct , we need to submit full url to facebook but {vb:raw thread_url} dont provide full url. thanks.
