I tested this on 3.5.X - 3.6.8 with no issues.

What does this mod do?

It adds a drop down box on each thread posted so your users can easily submit your threads to social bookmarking and social media sites like TagSum.com, Facebook, Delicious, and a few others. Others can easily be added as well.

How do I Install it?

It's a very easy template mod that should take 5 minutes or less.

First edit template : headinclude

Go to the end of the template and paste the following code:

PHP Code:

<script language="JavaScript"> 

function openDir( form ) { 

    var newIndex = form.fieldname.selectedIndex; 

    if ( newIndex == 0 ) { 

        alert( "Please select a location!" ); 

    } else { 

        cururl = form.fieldname.options[ newIndex ].value; 

        window.location.assign( cururl ); 

    } 

} 
</script> 


Next edit SHOWTHREAD

Find

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['inlinemod']">
        <if condition="$show['popups']">
            <td class="vbmenu_control" id="imod" align="center" title="$vbphrase[moderation]"><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register('imod'); </script></td>
        <else />
            <td class="thead" align="center">
                <input type="checkbox" name="allbox" id="checkall_all" title="$vbphrase[check_uncheck_all]" onclick="inlineMod.check_all()" />
            </td>
        </if>
    </if>
</tr> 


Under it ADD:

PHP Code:

<tr>
<td class="tcat" align="right" colspan="6" width="100%">
<!--social bookmarks-->
<form name=bookmarks> 
<select name="fieldname" size="1" onChange="openDir( this.form )"> 

<option>Bookmark this Thread</option> 
<OPTION VALUE=http://www.tagsum.com/news/submit?url=$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?t=$threadid>TagSum</option>
<option value=http://del.icio.us/post?url=$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?t=$threadid>del.icio.us </option> 
<OPTION VALUE=http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?t=$threadid>Facebook Share</option> 
<OPTION VALUE=http://www.blogger.com/blog_this.pyra?u=$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?t=$threadid>Blogger</option> 
<OPTION VALUE=http://myweb2.search.yahoo.com/myresults/bookmarklet?t=$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?t=$threadid> Yahoo MyWeb</option>
</select> </form>
<!--social bookmarks-->
</td>
</tr> 


The SHOWTHREAD code can be placed anywhere in the template so move it around as you please.

For a live demo visit the following URL: Tagsum.com is open to the world - High Altitude Imports

Here is an alternate implementation:

What is it?

The following modification adds a submission button to your showthread template that allows users to submit your threads to TagSum.com. Tagsum is a social media and social network web site that is growing quite rapidly.

Why should I submit to TagSum?

Simplly stated, Traffic! TagSum is growing, and it's becoming a great way to drive extra traffic to your forum. On top of that, they have released a revenue sharing system that allows you to earn adsense revenue every time you submit a story to their site. This way you earn both exposure and money when you make use of the site.

Great, how do I install it?

This part is easy. Simply find the showthread template and look for the following:

PHP Code:

<!-- / controls above postbits -->

<!-- toolbar --> 


In between those two paste the following html code:

PHP Code:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center" style="border-bottom-width:0px">
<tr>
    <td class="thead" width="100%">
        <a href="http://www.tagsum.com/news/submit?url=$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?t=$threadid" target="_blank">Tag This Thread:&nbsp;</a>
        <!-- TagSum -->
<a href="http://www.tagsum.com/news/submit?url=$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?t=$threadid" target="_blank"><img class="inlineimg"  

src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/tagsumlogo.png" alt="TagSum" border="0" /></a>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table> 


Now all you need to do is upload the attached image to your /images/buttons directory

That's it! Let me know if you have any questions or problems.
