Add 'Facebook Like' to posts in ravennuke

pan · Involved Joined: Jul 25, 2006 Posts: 354

For some reason the buttons aren't working for the particular post, they only use a link to the entire thread.

Have I done something wrong? I want the facebook 'like' to be for that particular post

ie. viewtopic&p=151874#1519844 <- that being the post number

And I got banned almost instantly on that sgtlegend.com site for an unknown reason now my ip range is blocked or something, so I can't get support from that site.

So, you want the link to go back to just the specified post and not the topic page that the post is a part of?

Or do you have an issue with the link being directed to the wrong post?

I have it on every post so someone can 'like' that post and the link directs to that post (ie. my previous post)

At the moment it just links to the thread no matter which post you click 'like' on

Anyone know the answer?

As far as I know, there is no way to display a single post in phpbb2. There may be a mod out there that does that. If you can pull up the post individually, you would just need to change the link back code to match.

I don't want it to display a single post

I want it to link to a single post instead of the whole threads page

eg.

This is the code:

Code:

$tweet_url = ($postrow[$i]['post_id']);

$facebook_img = '<a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2FWWW.YOURSITEHERE.COM%2Fmodules.php%3Fname%3DForums%26file%3Dviewtopic%26p%3D' . $tweet_url . '" target="_blank"><img src="' . $images['icon_facebook'] . '" alt="' . $lang['facebook_this'] . '" border="0" /></a>';

Shouldn't there be a way to make it remember which post you're talking about?

I sent you a pm. I tested the changes on my site and they seemed to work correctly. Give it a try and let me know if it works like you needed it to.

NUKEN U FIXED IT!

WOOOOT

nuken · Posted: Tue Nov 16, 2010 5:38 pm

Awesome. Your idea makes a lot of sense. A long topic would be hard to find the correct post in.

nuken · Posted: Tue Nov 16, 2010 5:43 pm

This is the change if anyone needs it:

Code:

viewtopic%26p%3D' . $tweet_url . '

to:

Code:

viewtopic%26p%3D' . $tweet_url . '%23' . $tweet_url . '

nuken · Posted: Wed Nov 17, 2010 5:03 am

Quote:

viewtopic%26p%3D' . $tweet_url . '%23' . $tweet_url . '

It won't post a specific post but just the your website's forum.

I made the same modification above but it doesn't show the specific forum to tweet.

Search for

Code:

forums.html%26file=viewtopic%26t=' . $tweet_url . ' via @realsnipers"

Replace with

Code:

forums.html%26file=viewtopic%26t=' . $tweet_url . '%23' . $tweet_url . '"

This is for twitter. I don't know how to fix it yet. Sad

does it show "yoursite" or does it actually show the correct site name?

nuken · Posted: Fri Nov 19, 2010 7:24 am

Here is the correct code to get the tweet to send back to your post. This site uses the rewrite rules for the forums links so you will have to remove the space between the F and the o in this link before it will work right.

Code:

modules.php?name=F orums%26file=viewtopic%26p=' . $tweet_url . '%23' . $tweet_url . '"

It seems twitter has something against & in a url. I will look in to it when i have more time.

Does anyone have any sort of "Like Mod" where instead of it posting anything back to any social network site like Facebook or Twitter etc, it just lists the names of users who have liked that particular post, basically similar to facebook.

I have seen a similar mod on your site Nuken, where users can Thank a topic and it lists who has thanked, but this wont thank the post itself only the topic.
I was hoping to somehow modify that and change it to Like which I think would work to some effect, but it is way over my ability to even install that let alone edit it to accomplish what I need it to do.

So does anyone know of anything else I could use ?

Thanks Kenno
