Well here at the Attic it had left leaving only the Twitter button for linking...but somewhere--sometime it came back. :o

I have now the Tweet button and the F image with the Share link and when I hit it to share it opens up a window like my store has---where you can add your comment to the top and even click the area of text from the post that gets shared to edit what needs to be edited there too along with if there are images on the page you can choose an image, including the one from the post (if not an attachment)

I just had to remember to also edit the display.php from the templates folder since it came with its own and does not use the default one.

I love that you can choose which categories/sections you can allow the sharing from.

Since guests can see our forum (not post) you might be able to see the buttons in action. In IE you need to be logged in though to use the FB share link.

I've been inactive for some time, for personal reasons, and have not looked on to this because of that. I may see if I can rebuild this, in a few weeks when I have some time off from everything else..

Thanks for the update man, much appreciated!!

Thanks for the update on this.  I'll be very excited if we can add this functionality to my forum.   Best holiday wishes!

I'm working on this now, and it seems the button itself works still - so I'll probably be able to fix this :)
Not promising anything yet, but lets see in a couple of days ;)

Happy New Year Aleksi! Thanks for the update - take your time, we appreciate it :)

Yes the buttons work for both FB and Twitter, I am using the latest version of SMF and just as mysteriously as it quit working (even did not show up) it started again so it must have been something FB did on their end.

I cleaned up the template code a bit, removed some configuration options to make space for upcoming additions to this mod, and tried to make the buttons look like they are supposed to. For one reason or another, the FB button seems shaky, jumping all over the place at times - while staying exactly where I want it at other times - but at the moment I'm not about to stress over that too much...

Here is my work in progress, feel free to test it out and tell me if you find any oddities in it :P ( But do uninstall any old versions before doing this ). And do remember this is a work in progress, not a released version yet... Though, it might be soon.

This is only for 2.0.3.

Downloaded and installed. Just a note, your edits to subs-boards.php and load.php are a bit problematic because there are quite a few mods doing stuff there, so the string to be replaced cannot be found... I'd suggest using a shorter string to find/insert after :)

So, it seems to work nice! The FB button does indeed appear a bit off (see screenshot) but functionality seems complete.

Thanks so much for your work - your mod is the only one out there that's both functional AND discreet (instead of spamming every single post or presenting huge buttons...).

That's exactly the behaviour I meant - It works perfectly on FF though, but Opera and IE do strange things :P

I will see if I can think of a way to stop it from doing that, but I'm afraid it will mean doing funky browser specific crap that I'm not at all interested in doing to be honest...

Heheh I get you. It's strange, actually - the way I read it from the code (which is not my specialty if I may say so) it shouldn't matter... yet it does. Oh well, even with this misalignment, I'm keeping it.

Hey, it just occurred to me - any chance for some G+ love? :)

isn't F share outdated and Like/Recommend button with count and twitter button with count more used these days ?

DarkAngel612

I personally like the f-share vs that like button...can't stand that button...lol

this way when we share we can edit it easier too for including the item and our comment about it.

I use one for my store also that is f-share
