Submission Buttons.

By Adrian at Dream It (http://dreamit.co.uk).
Inspired by SecondV, from vBulletin version v3.4.5.

What does it do?
This small template modification adds a button to Clesto, Digg and others, when clicked it will take you to the submission pages on the chosen site,

and it will automatically have the URL loaded on the submission form.

A great way to boost your traffic.

Notes:
Thanks to ShackMaster for the Spurl icon. It has being included in the vBsubmission.zip

Installalation

Download the vBsubmission.zip

Extract it.

Upload all the images to /images/buttons/ on your server.

Thanks for the hack! I'll install it right away...

[ShackMaster]

Great hack... thanks!

Installed!

Here's a Spurl icon I made for temporary: http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/images/buttons/spurl.gif

[Adrian.]

Thanks ShackMaster.

That will do perfectly! :)

[CarVenue.com]

Cool!

[jquan]

working nice, what about if you wanted to add to the title instead of in your postbit, which template would you edit?

and will future version include how many diggs and which member digged, or Clesto'd :)

Above i've added a button to submit automotive threads to AutomotiveArena.com for automotive web sites.

[hornstar1337]

This will be comming standard with vbseo from rc4 and above. Pretty cool idea.

[99SIVTEC]

I made a change so this is displayed in showthread at the top of the posts. I also added the ability to submit to http://www.threadtag.com which is a digg style sute specifically for forums.

In showthread find:


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

Under that paste the following code:

Also be sure to upload the button to your images/buttons directorywith the others http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=53165&stc=1&d=1157647453

[keithsl]

Is there anyway to add some more customization to this?

I'm looking to only have it only show up in a certain forum and to only show up on the first post. I would also like to click a checkbox to even decide if it should show up in that post or not

[Gastongr]

Great hack!
I added it in the top of showthread.php
Screenshot attached.

[libertate]

An excellent piece!

I have added this to my "News" vBAdvanced module. It only appears within the module at top of each article.

Simple replace all occurance of $threadid with $news[threadid] and and $thread[title] with $news[title].

Insert it in adv_portal_newsbits style template under:

Very nice, i made one for my site a month back with a drop down menu.. if somebody need it i can share it ;)

Excellent hack Adrian. :)

[ForumDog]

Thank you! I redid some of the graphics, added one or two others and restricted it to just a drop-down in the first post since there's not much point giving over bandwidth to links in every single post. If anyone wants to grab something, feel free.

Any hacks available to show a digg button in the thread. ie. The digg i button woth the number of diggs & an option to add a digg.

[rezapci]

awesome,how about google and yahoo and msn.. ect xml feeder?

[Hypocrisy]

Will this work under vBulletin 3.5.x?

[Hypocrisy]

When using the threadbit modification, "threadtag", "clesto" and digg doesn't show any icons using Internet Explorer, how come?


Edit: 'cause they're pngs?! :p *duh*

[MaestroX]

I have a problem with this, anytime i click a button to submit I do not get the thread id at the end of the url. It just "showhread.php?t="
Example: http://www.music-web.org/forum/showthread.php?t=540

I maybe should mention that I have my submit buttons under the frop down menu "thread tools"

thx m8, this worked perfectly. Iadded it to the top of the threads at http://www.wvutalk.com

[chkdgate]

How effective can this be?

[s25]

If your site got digged allot it could be very effective, Over all it would make your site get more hits and traffic assuming it is used!

Added Jeqq.com by request.

Dude, that really sweet! Will you release it?

I made a change so this is displayed in showthread at the top of the posts. I also added the ability to submit to http://www.threadtag.com which is a digg style sute specifically for forums.

My icons are not displaying properly. Can you help? Thanks.

Edit: Man, I think it's my skin because I just tried it for vb's default theme and it worked fine. Is there any way around this? I can't let go of my current skin.

Edit 2: Sorry everyone. I never dealt with styles before. I didn't realize that I had to upload the images in my "new" style's button folder. Btw, did anyone else notice that Thread Tag and Clesto aren't working?

[chkdgate]

I just thought you guys would like an updated reddit icon. I cleaned it up quite a bit in photoshop.:up:

[MajorFm.com]

Any hacks available to show a digg button in the thread. ie. The digg i button woth the number of diggs & an option to add a digg.ditto... that way digg users can just digg it instead of re-submitting the story again and again.

[MajorFm.com]

ok this is a wicked hack, 2 secs to install and exactly what i was about to do manually... but... how do i get it to work with vbseo? like the link it wants to submit is the php one... need the html one... also any chance some photoshop wizzkid can make me the buttons for darker backrounds? i notice its just made for light backrounds...

[MajorFm.com]

also i think clesto.com is now dead?

[MajorFm.com]

Great hack!
I added it in the top of showthread.php
Screenshot attached.exactly how do i do this one? i like this layout the most...

[BillAlpha]

I have a problem with this, anytime i click a button to submit I do not get the thread id at the end of the url. It just "showhread.php?t="
"

Just installed and I have this same issue. Even though the code shows showthread.php?t=$post[threadid] the resulting URL just ends showhread.php?t=

Any suggestions?

[BillAlpha]

I have found that if I use showthread.php?t=$threadid instead of showthread.php?t=$post[threadid] the URL works.

Not having an account with any of these services, will this still work?

Cheers :)

[hinch]

installed seems to work fine on www.furious-angels.com

[MARKETPROFITS]

what about adding

mister-wong?

[ComputerVitals]

Only using the Digg now
But I have found a probelm and will have to uninstall until fixed.

I've noticed that I have
Zoints SEO and this wont work.

If I disable Zoint SEO then the Digg submission will work fine.
ANy way of fixing this?

With Zoints enabled I get this error when submitting.
Are you sure that's the right address?

This doesn't appear to be a working link - please check the URL and try again.

The url at the top is this.

I swear, this is a great thread!

I found so many sites to link to.

Only difference is I have to modify the postbit!

:mad:

[chkdgate]

I'm trying to get a shoutwire link to work using the same methods. I'm supplying the icon for those who want to use this but my code isn't working properly. I just copied and pasted reddit's code and replaced everything with shoutwire. Basically, it doesn't take me to the submissions page. Can anyone modify? Thanks.



Code:
---------------

Edit: Please excuse the ignorance. I forgot to place submit after shoutwire's url. One problem though, does anyone on here use shoutwire? Because it asks for a url on step 1 instead of going to step 2 just like a digg submission with the url already in place.

[BarryoBrien]

getting broken link on clesto and no image on jeqq? anyone else have this proble how do i fix this?

[mcyates]

my image on jeqq doesn't work also, its mad as the link to the image on the postbit IS CORRECT. So there is no reason why it shouldn't show.

[BillAlpha]

my image on jeqq doesn't work also, its mad as the link to the image on the postbit IS CORRECT. So there is no reason why it shouldn't show.

I use Firefox and the image shows up fine - but a user who has Explorer cannot see the same image. I fired up Explorer myself and was amazed to find out they were right - go figure!

I guess that just means one thing then... ;)

[BarryoBrien]

it work on firefox but not ie

[Neal-UK]

my image on jeqq doesn't work also, its mad as the link to the image on the postbit IS CORRECT. So there is no reason why it shouldn't show.

Same problem here which is a little weird.

I have to register on those sites to submit my site, what a pain :rolleyes:

[KipLarson]

Does this work with 3.52 and vBadvanced? Like will those buttons show up in the news module?

[jawinn]

When I use the Digg button it doesn't populate the URL in Digg. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

[da420]

Everything works but Digg, it's interfering with Zoints SEO, if anyone could come up with a fix that would be great! :)

[tribedude]

does a silimilar mod exist for vB 3.57? or can this one be used with 3.57 also?

[greyhat]

Can we have an addition for technorati please :)

I do not see why it wouldn't work.

[chkdgate]

You can make it yourself. This is my Shoutwire addition from post #43 (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showpost.php?p=1156069&postcount=43). All you have to do is replace "shoutwire" with technorati and add a gif of your choice to your server. Keep in mind, this is for my "showthread" template so it can show on top of my threads.

Thanks for a great mod.

[chkdgate]

Just to let everyone know, I just got the owner of actorsandcrew.com (http://www.actorsandcrew.com/) sign up on my site and he went on to tell me that one of his programmers found my site through a Technorati submission that I posted last week for one of my threads. He now wants to trade links and trade some ideas as well. I think that if this hack is used properly and effectively, it can really represent some good results for forum owners.

[ALL!]

Same problem here which is a little weird.

Yes, whoever added the jeqq.gif file to the zip it is not a gif format, it is actually in ICO format. This should be changed. Apparently everyone uses FireFox/Mozilla because this would not show up in Opera or IE.

Anyway here is the gif format of the image, I think the zip need to be redone with this image in gif format not ICO format:

Is there any way to move the icons below the post instead having them under the username ?

Yeah, I am thinking the same, At the Opposite side of the Quote Icons

Yeah, all you have to do is move the code to below the <!-- controls --> line in your postbit or postbig_legacy.

[993ti]

Omg, thank you so much.
I just installed this on my latest board and submitted a popular topic to 2 of the sites and got instant traffic.
Since the board is only a few months old, traffic is so so, after submitting the thread, i got 40+ guests viewing the thread (no, not bots).
Thanks for this great hack.

I have tried everything, all i get is "Are you sure that's the right address?"
when trying to digg a post.

same here so annoying

[karlm]

Same - I'm using a url rewrite function, and I suspect that is the problem, an incompatibility between url-rewriting & digg.
