Twitter released their new TWEET button.
Live Demo: http://www.juot.net/forums/index.php?t=41185
(Update I have for the time being replaced the Tweet button with the http://www.addthis.com share button on my live forum. See the screen shots instead.)
I have tested this in latest versions of IE / Firefox / Chrome / Opera / Safari.
This will show you how to add this simple code to your SHOWTHREAD template below the page navigation bar, if visible.
Go to the Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager
Edit your SHOWTHREAD Template
Find:
Replace With:
Change the X, Y, Z in the second line to the forumid's of any private forums you may have. If a guest can't view a forum there is no reason to link a tweet to it. You can add as many or as few forumid's here as you need, just separate each with a comma.
Valid Examples:
<if condition="!in_array($GLOBALS[forumid], array(2, 5, 9))">
<if condition="!in_array($GLOBALS[forumid], array(7))">
<if condition="!in_array($GLOBALS[forumid], array(2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8))">
If none of your forums are private or you want to enable this in every forum you can remove the lines:
Replace "YOUR_TWITTER_USERNAME" with your twitter username, it will be referenced in the tweet- but the tweet will not be from YOU, it will be from whoever hits the tweet button.
When you hit the Tweet button you will be given a box to type a message if you're logged in. If you're not logged in you will be asked to login or join, all within the pop-up window.
This button code will count the number of tweets people have made using it. I will add more options in later posts.
Note- My Screenshot also has the Facebook Like button available as a separate mod here by someone else. If you don't have the facebook like button your Tweet button will be on the right of the page. There is also a basic skin screen shot.
Please click Install if you use this.
NEW UPDATE!!!
Use this code instead it will force the correct URL to Twitter and solve the issue with a different URL being tweeted if thread is tweeted as soon as it's posted.
Be sure to replace "YOUR_TWITTER_USERNAME" and "X, Y, Z" as described above.
