FAQ

Shares are not counted
The number of shares will be cached so that you do not make too many querys at the social network. The time for caching can be set in the ACP.

Facebook shows the wrong image or description
This can be a problem with the Facebook cache, go to https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ and recache your URL.

2 clicks for privacy?
This extension gets the number of shares over the webserver, so there is no connection between the user and the social networks, for that 2 clicks are not needed, your users have full privacy by displaying the buttons. Only when a user clicks on a button to share it will connect to the social network.

Its a great Mod, just a sugesstion could you put a duplicated of the share buttons in the top above the button postreply it would be great

[tas2580]

I have added an ACP module to configure the extension. Now you can choose where the buttons should be displayes. Also you can set the cache time and turn on or off single platforms.

For the buttons at top I could not find a good hookpoint, maybe I will find a better one later.

Can we change in the way that I show in the picture?

[tas2580]

The problem is that I cant find a template event for this position. But I will request one, maybe I can move it with the next phpBB version.

At the moment you have 2 options to move the buttons to a better position:

1. You can change your template by hand
Find in viewtopic_body.html

Code: Select all

<!-- IF .pagination or TOTAL_POSTS -->

Add bevor:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_SHOW_AT_TOP -->
	<!-- IF S_FACEBOOK -->
	<a href="#" onclick="return open_socialmedia('https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u={U_TOPIC}');" title="{L_SHARE_FACEBOOK}" class="socialmedia1">&nbsp;</a><span class="social_count">{SHARES_FACEBOOK}</span>
	<!-- ENDIF -->
	<!-- IF S_TWITTER -->
	<a href="#" onclick="return open_socialmedia('https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text={TOPIC_TITLE}&url={U_TOPIC}');" title="{L_SHARE_TWITTER}" class="socialmedia3">&nbsp;</a><span class="social_count">{SHARES_TWITTER}</span>
	<!-- ENDIF -->
	<!-- IF S_GOOGLE -->
	<a href="#" onclick="return open_socialmedia('https://plus.google.com/share?url={U_TOPIC}&title={TOPIC_TITLE}');" title="{L_SHARE_GOOGLEPLUS}" class="socialmedia4">&nbsp;</a><span class="social_count">{SHARES_GOOGLE}</span>
	<!-- ENDIF -->
	<!-- IF S_LINKEDIN -->
	<a href="#" onclick="return open_socialmedia('http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url={U_TOPIC}&title={TOPIC_TITLE}');" title="{L_SHARE_LINKEDIN}" class="socialmedia2">&nbsp;</a><span class="social_count">{SHARES_LINKEDIN}</span>
	<!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- ENDIF -->

2. Move it into the topic tools:
Rename viewtopic_buttons_top_after.html to viewtopic_topic_tools_after.html

After this changes you need to purge the cache in ACP.
