I'm now on 7.5.8. One of the changes I have to make with each upgrade is to add in the social networking functionality. I know you have a basic like and Twitter entry on the entire thread, but people often like a single entry in a thread of 200 posts. So linking to the entire thread doesn't help much. Also, there's no google+ or the many other options.

You can see what I add in on this post -

http://www.wineintro.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/427627#Post427627

Here's my code for doing this:

Code
SOCIAL NETWORKING BUTTONS BELOW EACH FORUM POST

========================================================================

INITIALIZE GOOGLE +1 CODE ONCE

in /templates/default/header.tpl
line 43

just before </head>, add:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js"></script>

This initializes the Google +1 button code.

========================================================================

SET VARIABLE FOR USE IN SOCIAL SCRIPTS

in /scripts/showflat.inc.php 

line 870
look for: 
$postrow[$i]['Subject'] = $results[$i]['POST_SUBJECT'];

add in after that: 
// LISA ADDED FOR SOCIAL NETWORKING
$postrow[$i]['SubjectSocial'] = $results[$i]['POST_SUBJECT'];

========================================================================

DRAW THE VISIBLE BUTTONS ON EACH INDIVIDUAL POST

in /templates/default/post_side.tpl

Starting at line 100 it says:

<td class="post_top_link" valign="bottom">
<a href="#top">{$lang.TOP}</a>
</td>
<td class="post-options" valign="bottom" align="right">


replace those four lines with the entire block below between the squiggles

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ACTUAL IMAGES

if needed move in all /images/social/ from backup (should still be there from before)

Could this be an option that we could turn on / off, for those who enjoy having that more robust set of social networking?

I'll note that I tried the Shareaholic option and it's not showing up anywhere for me. I created the row of buttons, got the ID number, and entered that into the UBB system.

The shareaholic bar is stock as of the 7.5.8 refresh; you just have to be sure to enter their syndication code into the appropriate box on your site and turn it on and it should "just work" to show the buttons on pots that are not in private forums.

Gizmo -

I do have the syndication code in the spot in the admin area. I'm not sure what you mean by "turn it on" though. I have the checks by the Facebook and Twitter boxes above that ID area but I don't see another area to turn on the Shareaholic bar ...?

Lisa

Okay maybe you made the entry incorrect in ubb.
For example at my site.
The shareaholic code provided is:
Quote
<div class='shareaholic-canvas' data-app='share_buttons' data-app-id='4859084'></div>
But the entry in ubb should be:
Quote
4859084
If you posted the full code it will not display
You just enter the id number.

Also you only make the entry in one field
Control Panel » Display Options-Topic Display Options
Your Shareaholic ID


PS you know what I completely forgot about this part 2
Stupid me.
Goto cp>General-Html includes tab
At the botom is :
Shareaholic 'Setup Code':
You can get the code from
Sharaholic get setup code button.

Also, what should the actual URL contain?

For example, is it only ubbcentral.com or is it ubbcentral.com/forums/ubbthreads.php ???

the setupcode for mysite is:
Code
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
  (function() {
    var shr = document.createElement('script');
    shr.setAttribute('data-cfasync', 'false');
    shr.src = '//dsms0rr1bbhn4.cloudfront.net/assets/pub/shareaholic.js';
    shr.type = 'text/javascript'; shr.async = 'true';
    shr.onload = shr.onreadystatechange = function() {
      var rs = this.readyState;
      if (rs && rs != 'complete' && rs != 'loaded') return;
      var site_id = '256ae0dda0e8433a0b2bd7b9b28';
      try { Shareaholic.init(site_id); } catch (e) {}
    };
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
    s.parentNode.insertBefore(shr, s);
  })();
//]]>
</script>

As far as a url to use. Since the buttons can be added anywhere on the site, using your example:
ubbcentral.com

At least that is the way I set it up.

You can add as many sites as you wish,as well as different buttons and locations.

I couldn't get mine to just work.

I added the setup code to the text entryfield.
Quote
Shareaholic 'Setup Code':
This is the setup code from Shareaholic that is supposed to be inserted before the </head> section. You also need to configure your Share ID in 'Topic Display Options' for this to work properly

...but no amount of refreshing would make it show up when viewing the source code.

So I added it to this section.
Quote
Header Insert (common to all):
Use for meta tags, etc. and will always be inserted in the <head> section.

It now shows up - but the icons/ graphics from shareaholic don't.

So I had to manually insert their snippet code in the default footer area.

However I don't like that location as I suspect many people will miss it.

Have I missed something?
(Well I'm sure I have, but I would be grateful if someone could point it out to me. wink )

Just discovered that the icons will show (without their code snippet in the footer) if I select 'Floated Share Buttons'.

Well, the only page it's supposed to show on via stock 7.5.8/9, as SD set it, is the topic display (no forum or thread listing pages, since he didn't see a reason to show them elsewhere. there should be a mod at UBBDev for extending it). Are you testing on just the thread display?

It doesn't show on any page unless I use the "Floated Share Buttons" option.

Something is wrong though, if I can't see the code when it's added to the Shareaholic 'Setup Code' area.

Expected behavior; it was designed to only show on forums that guests have access to.

What good would it do to have social media links with a private forum?

I've no doubt Mark was just pointing out a potential cause for errors.

In any case, mine are public and it still doesn't work.

Anyway, it's New Year's Eve and we're off to the pub!

All the very best to you all. smile

My Hero. .
I was testing the arrangement of the icons in a private forum, and for a short time didn't realise.

So just pointing out a possible got yu.

Is it the sharaholic where you also have to paste into your root there key?
My forum is not the root directory so had to quickly drop my normal index.html for the sharaholic file to become authenticated. And the switch back.

Those were my qwerks when seting up and customising.

All the best. .

You have to have their setup code on the index document of your site to validate your site; I'm not sure what validation really does though, since I have several sites running without issue without being "validated". I even brought this up to their development team that they needed an additional way of validating things, such as a crecord or html file like everyone else validates ownership, but nothing came of that request.

Even using my limited "Floated Share Buttons" option, it wouldn't work without validation.

I use Joomla, so I had to insert a module with the code into my template.

I did find the Sharaholic website confusing.
To eventually select the correct button setup, even if i go back to edit my selection it takes a far few clicks to get to the correct place.

Im not at my pc right now, so its just me remembering Sharaholic website wasn't as straightforward as i thought it would or could be.

That was my experience.
So its possible that the setup via Sharaholic could be causing the strange behaviour??

I'm not sure if the setup could be causing the behavior, unless you have the wrong key installed or something was wrong with the setup code.

BTW, UBBWiki isn't a validated site at shareaholic and it has share buttons working without any problems (it's SSL only and their check evidently doesn't like that).

Well, as I've mentioned previously, it works after a fashion.

As long as the setup code is in the header and not in the UBB suggested area, it will work - as long as I place the display code in the footer.
