chefelf Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Another feature I would really like to see in newer releases is to add to the bottom of the first post in each topic a way to quickly submit the topic to Digg, deli.cio.us, etc. Preferably it could have some built in big names like Digg, Stumble Upon, etc. with the ability to add custom submission to other newer or lesser known sites.I think a lot of people would be interested in this as a way to drive traffic to their sites. Also having the ability to turn it on/off would be great, particularly in conjunction with IPDynamic.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 This is a really difficult area to work in, as these sites come and go and their popularity is ever changing. Where do draw the line on which are included and which are not? This is already very possible with simple skin changes, i'd say it's really up to the forum admin to decide which they want to support and for them to put it into the templates.

chefelf Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Thanks a lot for the reply!I think that's why it would be great to have it be fully customizeable. You could have simple popular sites like Digg, Reddit, del.icio.us, etc. built in. Then users could simply add whichever new ones they'd like by editing a very simple form in the AdminCP (similar to custom bb) to tell the forum exactly what code to run for the new site.Just a thought. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chefelf Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Well, I guess my thinking was having the ability to place them and manage them a little more easily without having to edit the skin.On a related note: would you happen to know of any skins/templates/tutorials that would achieve this result?Thanks again for your replies!

Luke Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Plus the CommunitySEO has this built in... But if I ever got it, I wouldn't put this feature in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefelf Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Thanks for the links. I had found those earlier unfortunately due to hardware/software restrictions I'm stuck with version 2.1.7 at the moment and none of them are compatible. The CommunitySEO seems kinda neat but I'm hesitant to have to pay a recurring license fee without doing a little more research.At the moment it looks like I'm going to hold off but I appreciate everyone's help!Thanks!

chefelf Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Okay, so far I've edited my topic view to contain buttons for Digg and del.icio.us and both are working well. The reason I still think this would be a great feature is because it would give the Admin the ability to control which forums they can and can't appear in.Presently if you use this method it will appear on the top of every post which may not be necessary or appropriate. If you could limit it to a set of specific forums that would be much better.It would also be a good thing to be able to control which user groups could use this feature with their posts.

Michael P Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 A simple skin edit with socialiser should do, that is a link which shows a page containing links to most of those link sharing sites (Digg etc) - board URL and topic variables would need to go in, and maybe topic name, but its simple enough.
