Module: Social Media Sharing

Re: Module: Social Media Sharing

I installed this module, but instead of individual posts, I always get a link (in Facebook) to the entire list of topics.

The forum read view is set to "threaded".
I made the required changes in read_threads.tpl, but still, I get the entire list of topics.

Can anybody help, please?

Sorry to come back to a question that was asked more than one year ago.

You can remove the smiley in the subject by using regular expressions. In the file social_share.php, look for the function social_share_mod_thread. After the line
$subject = $message['subject'];
add the following one
$subject = preg_replace("/]+\>/i", " ", $subject);
The twitter code is then properly created.

Don't use smileys in the subject (e.g. disallow them in the module) or get someone to fix the module (probably not easy to do).

How did this happen?

The twitter link is all messed up but only pops up in a few threads?

I got such a file social_share.php:

[code="php"]

if(!defined("PHORUM")) return;

function social_share_mod_css_register($data) {

$data['register'][] = array(
'module' => 'social_share',
'where' => 'after',
'source' => 'file(mods/social_share/social_share.css)'
);
return $data;
}

function social_share_mod_thread($message) {

global $PHORUM;
// Format the read URL.
$url = phorum_get_url(
PHORUM_FOREIGN_READ_URL,
$message['forum_id'], $message['thread'], $message['message_id']
);

// Strip auth data from the URL, if availble.
if (isset($_POST[PHORUM_SESSION_LONG_TERM])) {
$url = preg_replace(
'!,?' . PHORUM_SESSION_LONG_TERM.'=' .
urlencode($_POST[PHORUM_SESSION_LONG_TERM]).'!',
'', $url
);
}

$url=urlencode($url);
$thread = $message['subject'];
$body = $message['body'];
$tweet = strip_tags($body);
$facebook = "'&t='.$tweet";
if (strlen($facebook)>300)
{
$facebook=substr($tweet, 0, 300).' ...';
}

if (strlen($tweet)>140)
{
$tweet=substr($tweet, 0, 136).' ...';
}

$facebook=iconv("WINDOWS-1251","utf-8",$facebook);
$tweet=iconv("WINDOWS-1251","utf-8",$tweet);

if ( $PHORUM['social_share']['share_twitter'] == 1 )
{
print "twitter.com];\"";
if ( $PHORUM['social_share']['link_new_window'] == 1 )
print " target=\"_blank\"";
print ">Tweet";
}

if ( $PHORUM['social_share']['share_facebook'] == 1 )
{
print "www.facebook.com];\"";
if ( $PHORUM['social_share']['link_new_window'] == 1 )
print " target=\"_blank\"";
print ">Facebook";
}

if ( $PHORUM['social_share']['share_google-plus'] == 1 )
{
print "plus.google.com];\"";
if ( $PHORUM['social_share']['link_new_window'] == 1 )
print " target=\"_blank\"";
print ">Google+";
}

}
?>
[/code]

Not a lot of changes. Works as I need. Unfortunately the output to Google+ looks bad. Google+ does not support the transfer of the post in the link, as facebook or twitter. Google+ so I disconnect to the admin.
What happened and how it works can be found here. [www.vanderboot.ru] May be useful to someone :)

I changed a little mod for Twitter could be someone like
file social_share.php
$subject = $message['subject']; replace $subject = $message['body'];
further add strings =>

$subject=iconv("WINDOWS-1251","utf-8",$subject); // instead of WINDOWS-1251 set the code page that you have chosen for your forum
$tweet = strip_tags($subject);
if (strlen($tweet)>140)
{
$tweet=substr($tweet, 0, 136).' ...';
}

further =>
[code="php"]
print "twitter.com];\"";
[/code]

replace
[code="php"]
print "twitter.com];\"";
[/code]

This allows you to Tweet concrete post, using a flat list. I still work on it.

Using the Social Media Sharing module and the Smileys module together causes problems whenever Smileys are used on the subject line for me. Having a smiley in the subject line breaks the Twitter link generated by the Social Media Sharing module. Can anyone assist with fixing?

Well, there is no link to a single message if the forum read view is set to flat.

I installed this module, but instead of individual posts, I always get a link (in facebook) to the entire topic.

I validated my changes on read.tpl, and I´m sure I added this: {HOOK "social_share" MESSAGES} on the right place, but still, I get the entire topic.

Any help will be really appreciated.

Great work, thanks for sharing your module!

Module: Social Media Sharing

Hello,

Because I couldn't find anything that performed this function, I created a simple module that will share posts to social network sites. It is currently limited to Twitter, Facebook, and Google+. This module creates links on the post pages that allow you to share a post to the respective sites. It does NOT provide Like or +1 functionality, as I didn't really think this was particularly useful for this. I doubt that it's well written. I'm not really a programmer, but I've done a little with Phorum in the past, and I wanted to add this functionality to my phorum installation.

It does require adding a hook to the template, at least that's the only way I could figure out how to do what I wanted. You can use it to add social network links in individual posts or entire threads currently.

I'd like to create an easy way to manage the social networks that can be used and a way to add the links to the list pages. Perhaps someday I will make some changes to add these features. I don't spend a lot of time with this, so I can't see when or if that will be possible. If anyone wants to make changes to support these features, feel free to do so.

README:

Social Media Sharing Module

Instructions:

1. Install module into mods directory.
2. Make necessary changes to read.tpl, read_hybrid.tpl, and read_threads.tpl (Emerald based templates):

   read.tpl, read_hybrid.tpl
   -------------------------

** To create the social links in the individual message boxes next to the reply/quote buttons
   Find:
   {IF MESSAGES->URL->REPORT}{LANG->Report}{/IF}

   On a new line after this, add:
   {HOOK "social_share" MESSAGES}


** To create the social links for the entire topic near the print/follow/rss/moderator functions
   Find:
   {IF TOPIC->URL->MOVE}{LANG->MoveThread}{/IF}
   {/IF}

   On a new line after this, add:
   {HOOK "social_share" TOPIC}

   read_threads.tpl
   -------------------------

** To create the social links in the individual message boxes next to the reply/quote buttons
   Find:
   {IF MESSAGE->URL->REPORT}{LANG->Report}{/IF}

   On a new line after this, add:
   {HOOK "social_share" MESSAGE}


** To create the social links for the entire topic near the print/follow/rss/moderator functions
   Find:
   {IF URL->FEED}
        {FEED}
   {/IF}

   On a new line after this, add:
   {HOOK "social_share" TOPIC}

3. For Facebook and Google+ sharing, I recommend selecting a site image that is reasonably sized 
   and adding it to phorum_directory/images. Then add the following line to Phorum Head Tags in 
   General settings:

   www.domain.name]; />

   This will cause Facebook and Google+ to use that image for posts.
4. Configure options.
5. Enable module.

Adding social networks is not a trivial task at the moment. I'd like to include a much easier way 
to do so in the future, but I don't know if time will permit it.
