So now with vBulletin 3.7 we have the option to add Social Bookmarking Sites to our threads.

Post the ones you know and I'll add them to this list. I need this info of them:

Title: (the site title)

Icon: (a 16x16 image, attach it to your post)

Link: (link to the bookmark submission URL, use {URL} and {TITLE} in the link for the thread URL and title)

Thanks for posting this.
I added just the Yahoo one, but it put it to a second line.
Is there a way to adjust how many fit on a line? I don't like the way it looks.

I guess that little search button really does work. :)
I found the answer here (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=270666).

Sorry about that. I had used the image "as-is" from MySpace. I have now resized it to the proper 16x16 dimension and edited my post/attachment.

I seen this on forums and of course its on websites out there. The option to digg, furl, and ten other things to the article.

In searching for something to use for our forum though we found this:

http://www.addthis.com/

We put it on every post, so any post could be marked, and that solved the problem of any and all bookmark necessities out there.

After doing it, while I'm sure our site wasn't the main propagator of it, I found many high end sites, or heavily trafficked sites using that button as well through simple browsing from time to time throughout my days.

So make your life easy, and just add that instead.

That button can have an adverse affect on php parsing and execution times.

The majority of people only use one or two services, and if its obvious they will just click it. If they need to hover/wait/find-click/click more then find/click some don't bother.

The easiest answer is to ask your users which they prefer. Be sure, your trying to help them to help you. So talk to them

Exactly where did you put this code to make it show up on every post?
I would rather put it on every thread. Where would I insert the code to do that?
Thx!

In all honesty, that might have happened ONE time on ONE page load over the past 9 months that has been up. Where the page was having a "wait" issue or wouldn't load fully issue.

It's not only never happened since that one time, and I am not even sure if it ever did happen once, or if I'm just fabricating this in my mind. Nonetheless it's extremely stable.

Aside from that, yes some people only use one or two services, but for bigger boards with thousands of members your idea is less practical. You'd have to poll people yearly to see which are the top systems they use and modify your post bit and other sections because of this. While using that button I put up eliminates all of that work, and covers all the bases at once.

It's convenience and greater usability override the highly remote chance of problems.

My friend put it in the Postbit template I'm pretty sure. Or Postbit legacy, or both. I know it's the postbit area though.

As far as every thread, of all the things we modified on our site, I don't think we ever changed Showthread template, and that is my guess, as I'd put it next to the post reply buttons if you were going to do it that way.

Someone will have to clarify this for you, but I'm pretty sure its'
SHOWTHREAD template.

Hey, I am afraid I need your help. I searched the whole net, but I cannot figure out the needed links for a few social bookmarking services I have to enter into VB.

Icons shouldn't be much of a problem, but I would really appreciate help with the links to those services:

reddit.com
mister-wong.com
technorati.com
propeller
(ms) live

Can someone help me please?

Thanks a lot!

Rosey,

I had the same question and figured it out - somewhat... so thought I'd share it with anyone else who is interested.

AddThis.com will give you some code. You have to insert that code into each template you use on your site. If you just use the default template, then you only have to do it to that one. But if you have others you have to do it to each one. It's simple though.

Login to your control panel and go to Styles & Templates/Style Manager. Click on the drop-down box next to the desired template and Choose the first Option:

Template Options/Edit Templates

Select

Then click on the SHOWTHREAD TEMPLATES, then SHOWTHREAD option. That will give the SHOWTHREAD template

Then just search on "social bookmarking" and insert this code right ABOVE that. That will place the little AddThis bar just above the social bookmarking section.

You may be able to play around with it to figure where else you might put it. Seems that you can put it pretty much anywhere in this script. It will either work or it won't work. But it doesn't seem to mess up the script if you put it in the wrong place! So feel free to play around with it. Just make sure you're able to delete it quickly in case it does mess something up.

This is weird, but I added Facebook and Yahoo - using the icons that were posted here. But the icons don't show up on the site. I put them in the images/misc directory. I double-checked my spellings and everything's right. But I just get a text link to both sites. The links work fine - but no icon.

Any ideas why these icons aren't showing up? The ones that came with vB show up fine and they are in the same directory as my new ones.

Thanks!

Sorry - nevermind! I figured it out. They weren't showing up in a style different from the default. I just had to upload them to the right images directory.

Yeah I'm sure Showthread is the template you need to put it on all threads,

I was right thought after a quick search we have it on our template postbit for the whole forum.

For those who want to use it on every post, here is a copy of our postbit template the add this button is near the top:

The Facebook and Yahoo ones worked for me.

I just need the link for Reddit and the link + icon for Myspace then all my bookmarks are done.

Here look at this site for over a hundred links to submit to different sites. Probably not comprehensive but a large list:

"Social bookmarking links will only be displayed in guest-viewable threads."

is there a way to enable social bookmarking for every thread?
Is there any security issue to do so?

Thanks :)

Not much point in having them on threads that are not viewable to guests. One of the purposes of these links is to get your users to promote your content to other sites and have visitors from those locations visit your site. You can't be sure the visitor is going to be registered already and if they aren't a no permission screen isn't going to promote your site very well.

Well, unless you are just bookmarking

that is what my users want... to bookmark.

I have some sub-forum guest-viewable and some other not; the same user could bookmark some threads while others not... not very much useful either.

Besides the philosophical discussion :p, is there a way to enable it on all threads? Thanks.

No. You'll need an addon from www.vbulletin.org.

Myspace, facebook, friendster are more of Social Networking type while an example of Social Bookmarking are the wirefan, reddit, netvous :)

upgrade to 3.7.3. pl1 if you have not already.

Then go to admincp > vboptions > social bookmarking manager
and add it there.

You imply you run a vb license, but you show up unlicensed. Please set yourself up for priority support asap. Thank you.

Not much point in having them on threads that are not viewable to guests. One of the purposes of these links is to get your users to promote your content to other sites and have visitors from those locations visit your site. You can't be sure the visitor is going to be registered already and if they aren't a no permission screen isn't going to promote your site very well.

lol, that's true. I'm not sure how the social bookmarking works - I'll keep reading on it.

We use an addon "share this" on our portal page that works well.

If you guys really want icons for all of them why don't you just check this guys blog out, it looks like a spam blog, but I found he linked to my site, so I'm not for sure, but it looks like he has a clean icon for nearly everything.

If not, I still suggest the addthis button, that way you don't need 35 icons to do the same thing that one can do.

Do you know any of the according links to:

YouTube
Wordpress
Twitter
Picasa
Flickr
mixx
lastfm
netvibes

Can anyone help with a few links please? Would be awesome! thanks a lot!

Another alternative for Twitter

http://twitthis.com/twit?url={url}&title={title}

This will give you a shorter url that will fit in a tweet

After exhausting and comprehensive research and testing different methods
I finally found what is BY FAR the best solution on the market.

This will give you a shorter url that will fit in a tweet

This does definetly not work and results only in a blank Link.

http://twitter.com/home/?status={TITLE}%20{URL} works well but i think it would be nice to get a working Twitthis.com Link.

Can anybody post the correct Code for Twitthis?

I got twitter working but Facebook, Myspace and Yahoo the images dont show. They are all in the correct areas. However if you check the html the img src for facebook is incorrect even though it is correct in the admin area.

Could anyone help please?
