Share This Topic

[waruna]

Hye.. At last, the mod is successfully installed.. phewww.

But another problem is, nothing happened. I can't see the "Share this topic" and the icons of social networks at the top of the topic.

your theme has it own Display.template.php file?  if so, please attach that file to make the necessary edits for it.   also, once installed, the packager manager redirected you to the mods settings, make sure you check at least one social network.

Desktop.template.php attached.

Unfortunately, the packager manager redirected the page directly to Features and Options page instead of Mods Settings. And there's nothing at Miscellaneous in Mods Settings. Is this weird?

[waruna]

I can see the Advance Options in Browse Packages page. It says something like emulate version. Does it has something to do with my problem?

[mirahalo]

nope, if you cannot see the settings for this mod is most likely that you have a different language than english, what language did you use?

can you see the settings in this page?  myforum.com/index.php?action=admin;area=featuresettings;sa=sharetopic    replace myforum with the actual url of your forum

try the attached file

Ok. It works man! Great! . I just enter the location of path manually, and the installation complete. Now the logos displayed at the top of the topic. Thanks a lot.

Here's another thing, how can I put the word "Share this on: " next to the logos?

Thanks in advance.

[mirahalo]

well actually, theres no text string that says specifically: Share this on:    the mod got one that says: Share This Topic

if you really want to say Share This Topic on: you got two options, one is add another text string, the other is to put it directly on your display.template.php, of course, the secong will work only if you just use english language, it woulb be like this:

on your theme's display.template.php

find this:

Code Select Expand

<div id="forumposts"><span>', $social_icons, '</span>

replace with this:

Code Select Expand

<div id="forumposts"><span>Share this on: ', $social_icons, '</span>

do you use multiple languages?

[waruna]

I'm using english language. Thanks man! It works .. Many thanks to you dude.

[playdiune]

is it possible to add the google buzz icon ?

thanks

[mirahalo]

I dont know much about it but if it has a share link I can use then yes it could be added,

mmm,  searching a little bit i found this one: http://www.google.com/reader/link?url=


let me make a few test.

[KensonPlays]

@playdiune:
You use google buzz already? I am and I like it!

[playdiune]

yes. i am using and i also like it

[bjraines]

is there a way to get it to work with pretty URLs?

[Arantor]

Not without a lot of modification of the mod from what I remember.

[ɔɔɔɔɔɔuɥoɾ]

Cant you use the power of .htaccess to rewrite URLs in the areas of the mod to suite pretty URLs mod needs.

I'm Unsure as I dont use pretty URLs, but I have to ask as I'm currently working on something which will let me use a sub-domain for a board, which I'm trying to figure out the htaccess changes to make it work, thought it may be a similar-ish situation

[Arantor]

No, because you have to rewrite the URLs that the mod produces, nothing to do with .htaccess at all.

[ɔɔɔɔɔɔuɥoɾ]

arhh! Well just thought I would throw it in there, I saw that .htaccess fixed something with the ajax chat integration too (when pretty URLs was used), oh well lol..

[playdiune]

well,

i am using pretty urls and also this mod and i have no errors.

what errors are you talking about ?

[mirahalo]

@playdiune    about Google buzz,   here's    a little tweak for it,   in your theme's display.template.php  find this:  (assuming you're using 1.1.11)

echo '', $social_icons, '

and add this after

Code Select Expand

  <a href="http://www.google.com/reader/link?url='. $scripturl . '?topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.0&title='. $context['subject'] .'&srcURL='. $scripturl . '?topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.0" target="_blank"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/share/buzz.gif" title="Share on buzz" alt="Share on buzz" /></a> </span>


like this:

Code Select Expand

echo '', $social_icons, '<a href="http://www.google.com/reader/link?url='. $scripturl . '?topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.0&title='. $context['subject'] .'&srcURL='. $scripturl . '?topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.0" target="_blank"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/share/buzz.gif" title="Share on buzz" alt="Share on buzz" /></a> </span>


and upload the attached image to your  theme's image folder,   this is just temporal until I release the next version.


greetings.

What about coding for SMF2.0 RC2? Thanks.
