The following text is not relevant to Version 3.0 or above.

This post will contain useful hints and options for the Share Buttons that are outside the scope of the mod itself.


Condition to show Share Button(s) Only on Specific / Guest Viewable Forusm

This is a useful conditional if you want to hide the Facebook Like button (and all of the share buttons) in forums that aren't open to the public. If someone "Likes" a thread in a private forum people will be greeted with a no-permission "have to register" message which usually people will just get annoyed at rather than register. In fact if it's a private forum they may not even have access even after registering.

To use this conditional edit the SHOWTHREAD template... find the code:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

and change it too:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Where 3,4,5 are forum id's of the forums you want to hide the button in. You can add or remove more numbers as needed so long as they are separated by commas.


Alternate location for Share Buttons

This location has been used by VB 3.x forms and was recently suggested by someone (forget who, sorry) as a good location for the Facebook button on VB 4.x.

To do this edit the SHOWTHREAD template.

Find the code:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

DELETE IT.

Now find the code:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

And right below it add:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

This is for the default vBulletin 4 style. You may have to play with the style settings to get it to look right on a custom style.

This looks good on Chrome, IE9, and Firefox. The height alignments are a little off on Opera browsers but nothing too bad.

Screenshot Attached.

Please give me some more info- how is it not working?

What version of vBulletin?

Do you see anything at all?

Do you have the regular Facebook Like button enabled?

Link to your site?

I just updated to version 1.01 - Found an error on 4.1.2, maybe other version as well. Please update.

Very sorry about that. Yes I have uploaded the zip file now instead of just the xml.

I have no way of testing this with VBSEO installed. My only guess if maybe VBSEO overrides the default Like Button as well for some reason.

I have installed this on the following forums:

VB 4.1.4 Suite
VB 4.1.2 Forum Only
VB 4.0.8 Forum Only

It worked on all of them on different servers, but none of them have VBSEO installed.

Just to double check make sure you have Enabled the mod and enabled the extra share buttons- everything is disabled by default.

hi BirdOPrey5,

thanks for providing the download zip file.

I request you to please check my website http://www.geekworld.co.in, as i have installed the mod and its showing properly but none of the facebook, tweeter, and google +1 buttons are working.

You can check right now.

I was just able to Like and Google +1 this thread which I picked at random just fine:

Make sure you are testing it with a thread in a public accessible (guest accessible) forum. They might not work in hidden/secret forums.

Twitter is working fine too.

What browser are you using?

I am unliking the page now so it won't show but the +1 will.

Ya u r correct its working, the problem comes only in firefox browser, while it working fine in google chrome.

So want you to please check it under the firefox browser.

I just "Liked" and Google +1 this page: http://www.geekworld.co.in/showthread.php?277-books

Using Firefox 3.6.17 without any problem.

Maybe you are running NoScript on Firefox? That would block any of these from working since they are all javascript based.

Also, what version of vBulletin are you running?

Love this nice mod, thanks!

I just downloaded it myself and it imported fine.

The error you got is usually the result of a corrupt download.

EDIT- I guess you got it working.

The twitter button doesn't work with VBSEO install as it tries to post the nonvbseo url to twitter.

Oddly it works on your previous twitter button integration just fine.

The twitter button also has all your custom @JUOTnet stuff in it also.
