Add Google’s +1 Button To Pligg

Geoserv — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 05:19:49 +0000

The +1 button is shorthand for “this is pretty cool” or “you should check this out.”

Click +1 to publicly give something your stamp of approval. Your +1′s can help friends, contacts, and others on the web find the best stuff when they search.

Adding the +1 Button to your Pligg install is simple.

Open header.tpl, just before the closing head tag add:

Save.

Open link_summary.tpl, add the following where you want the button to appear:

Save.

There are 4 sizes, see the size chart here.

You can see a live example on FAQPAL.

Will you be implementing it on your site?

Adding a Digg style screenshot to Wistie – UPDATED

Geoserv — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 12:43:53 +0000

An updated way to get Digg style screenshots to work on your Wistie template.

Earlier I showed you how to get screenshots to appear next to your submissions using WebSnapr, recently WebSnapr changed their coding, therefore the previous method will no longer work.

Thanks to our friend Karen there is an updated method to accomplishing this.

Open pligg.tpl, add the following before the closing

head

tag:

save.

Open link_summary.tpl, place the following code where you want the screenshot to appear:

save.

Make sure you enter your WebSnapr API key in the above code as well determine what size you want the screenshot to be, valid sizes are as follows:

Tiny = t (90×70 Pixel)
Small = s (202×152 Pixel)

As far as styling goes, wrap the above code in a class or ID and add it to your CSS file and had whatever styling best fits your site.

Thanks to Karen for the heads up.

Enjoy.

FeedBurner and Twitter counts as text

Geoserv — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 02:51:45 +0000

Today we are going to show you a simple method to showoff your FeedBurner subscriber count as well as your Twitter follower count in your sidebar, or anywhere you want really.

The code below as well as the images for it are included in the download below.

In the code you must change the inputs where indicated for it to work:

< ?php
$url = file_get_contents(‘https://feedburner.google.com/api/awareness/1.0/GetFeedData?uri=YOUR FEEDBURNER URL’);
$begin = ‘circulation="’; $end = ‘"’;
$page = $url;
$parts = explode($begin,$page);
$page = $parts[1];
$parts = explode($end,$page);
$fbcount = $parts[0];
if($fbcount == ”) { $fbcount = ’0′; }
echo ‘’.$fbcount.’ Subscribers’;
?>

< ?php
$username = "YOUR TWITTER USERNAME"; // Your twitter username
$output = "text&"; // text or js
$url = "http://api.syberplanet.net/twitter/?u=$username&output=$output";
$followers = file_get_contents("$url");
echo ‘’.$followers.’ Followers’;
?>

You can customize the CSS for it to match your current design, this is what we use on FAQPAL.

Now in order to get the counts to display is to open sidebar.tpl and add the following line:

{php}include(‘/PATH/TO/THE/FILE/sidebarsocstats.php’);{/php}

Heres what the above will result in:

Facebook Like button and Pligg

Geoserv — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 01:50:08 +0000

POST UPDATED! – We now not only have Google Buzz with their own button, but, now Facebook has launched their own finally. In this post I will show you how to add the Facebook “Like” button your Pligg install.

Open link_summary.tpl:

Determine where you want the button to appear, make sure you allow enough space, at least 300px, as the button will show not only a “Like” button but who has liked it as well.

Once you have determined the right location add the following code:

Special thanks to Ruhani Rabin for the original code.

UPDATE:

One of our readers, Giuseppe Dispensa asked if it was possible to the “Like” when posted to Facebook, link to the story page as opposed to the URL of the submission. At first we didn’t think of this, but, if you would like to send the traffic to you first and then the submissio URL change the following part of the code:

{$url}&layout=standard;&show_faces=false&width=650&action=like&font=arial&colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; margin: 5px 0 0 5px; overflow:hidden; width:650px; height: 25px;">

to:

make sure you enter your domain name where we have YOURDOMAINNAME.

Tagging links with Googles UTM

Geoserv — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 01:01:25 +0000

I am currently testing a new way to get your traffic to links posted on your Pligg install noticed better.

Most bloggers use Google Analytics, as it is by far the best FREE analytics service today.

Google Analytics uses a UTM (Urchin Tracking Module) tag so users can add information to the end of their links so they know better where their traffic is coming from. This is typically used for tracking banner ads or text links, but it can be used for cases.

Why not add it the links added to your Pligg install?

To add it, simply open link_summary.tpl:

{$title_short}

and change it to,

{$title_short}

This will change the normal outbound link:

http://www.shoutmeloud.com/10-best-way-to-check-your-internet-speed.html

http://www.shoutmeloud.com/10-best-way-to-check-your-internet-speed.html?utm_source=YOURDOMAIN.com

In the Analytic panel for that site, if they use Google, they will see your Pligg install listed as a traffic referral much easier.

I have only been using this method for a week, so I am not sure if it will help with getting more traffic or not, but I will do a followup post in a week or two.

What do you think of the idea?

Adding a Digg style screenshot to Wistie

Geoserv — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 22:46:55 +0000

In this tutorial I will show you how easy it is to add a screenshot to each submission just like Digg.

There are only 2 files to edit for this hack, link_summary.tpl and style.css.

Open link_summary.tpl and find:

{checkActionsTpl location="tpl_link_summary_pre_story_content"}
{if $pagename eq "story"}{checkActionsTpl location="tpl_pligg_story_body_start_full"}{else}{checkActionsTpl location="tpl_pligg_story_body_start"}{/if}

{if $viewtype neq "short"}

change it to:

{if $viewtype neq "short"}

Save.

Open style.css and add anywhere:

.storythumb { float:right; border: 1px solid #b7cce0; padding: 3px; }

That’s it, I have websnapr as default screenshot supplier, though I always recommend using Shrink the Web.

You can see a demo over at Web Link Depot.

As always, post your thoughts and questions below.

Auto-publish to Twitter

Geoserv — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:44:42 +0000

In this tutorial I will show you how to have your stories sent to the published page automatically Tweeted to Twitter using whatever Twitter account you want.

I have already shown you how to use Twitterfeed and Bit.ly to auto publish your published submissions, now lets cut out the middleman, Twitterfeed.

The following code was sent to us by Jorge from the good folks at Bierzeame.

Open your libs/link.php file and find:
function publish() { if(!$this->read) $this->read_basic(); $this->published_date = time();


		totals_adjust_count($this->status, -1);

		totals_adjust_count('published', 1);

$this->status = 'published'; $this->store_basic(); }
change it to:
function publish() { if(!$this->read) $this->read_basic(); $this->published_date = time();


		totals_adjust_count($this->status, -1);

		totals_adjust_count('published', 1);

$this->status = 'published'; $this->twitter(); $this->store_basic(); }
find:
function username() {
just before it add:
function twitter(){ global $db;


    $id = $this->id;

    if(!is_numeric($id)){return false;}

    if(($link = $db->get_row("SELECT link_title FROM " . table_links . " WHERE link_id = $id"))) {
      $message = $link->link_title;

      $toshort = getmyFullurl("storyURL", $this->category_name(), urlencode($link->link_title_url), $id);
      $bitly = "http://api.bit.ly/shorten?version=2.0.1&longUrl=".urlencode($toshort)."&login=BITLYUSERNAME&apiKey=YOURBITLYAPICODE&history=1";
      $bitlyresponse = file_get_contents($bitly);
      $jsonresponse = @json_decode($bitlyresponse,true);
      $urlshort = $jsonresponse['results'][$toshort]['shortUrl'];
      $messagelen = strlen($message);

      $urllen = strlen($urlshort);

      $totallen = $messagelen+$urllen+1;
      if ($totallen>140){

        $urllen = $urllen+4;

        $message = substr($message,0,139-$urllen);

        $message = $message."...";

      }
      $message = $message." ".$urlshort;
      $args= 'status='.urlencode($message);
      $twit = curl_init();

      curl_setopt($twit, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml');

      curl_setopt($twit, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);

      curl_setopt($twit, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

      curl_setopt($twit, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0); // no imprimir nada

      curl_setopt($twit, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "TWITTERUSERNAME:TWITTERPASSWORD");

      curl_setopt($twit, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $args);

      curl_setopt($twit, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1);

      curl_setopt($twit, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
      $result = curl_exec($twit);

      $http_status = curl_getinfo($twit, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
      curl_close($twit);
      if( $http_status != "200" ) {

          return false;

      }

return true; } }
Save.

That’s it. Now every story that is sent to the published page will auto Tweet, giving your members another reason to submit.

Make sure you edit your Twitter login details and your Bit.ly details.

It will shorten the submission URL using Bit.ly and send the user when clicked on Twitter to your story page. This will also track how many clicks each one gets which you can check when you login to Bit.ly.

Adding SexyBookmarks to Pligg

Geoserv — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:32:49 +0000

In this tutorial I will show you how to add the popular WordPress plugin SexyBookmarks to your Pligg install, adding that extra something to your story pages.

Sexy Bookmarks which I first saw used on a WordPress blog is one of the best methods to ask your users to share something on social networking sites. It uses the power of jQuery for that added flair.

My good friend Brian over at Blog Engage managed to get his site added to Sexy Bookmarks and I will soon be attempting to have one of my own sites added, so I thought I would try to use it on a test Pligg.

Luckily, I came across a post by Naeem Noor over at CSS Reflex where he had successfully added it to Blogger using 3 chunks of code.

For this tutorial I simply took what Naeem used and adapted it to work in Pligg.

Open pligg.tpl:

add the following just before the closing head tag:

{literal}

{/literal}

Save.

Open link_summary.tpl

add the following anywhere you want the buttons to appear:

{if $pagename eq "story"}

Share this on del.icio.us

Digg this!

Stumble upon something good? Share it on StumbleUpon

Share this on Reddit

Add this to Google Bookmarks

Submit this to DesignFloat

Share this on Technorati

Submit this to Script & Style

Share this on Blinklist

Share this on FriendFeed

Seed this on Newsvine

Widget by Css Reflex | TutZone| Pliggs

{/if}

Save.

I added them just before:

in the wistie template for the latest build of Pligg.

There are 2 images for this work as well, download them and upload to your images directory.

Note: There is a file embedded within this post, please visit this post to download the file.
Note: There is a file embedded within this post, please visit this post to download the file.

In the chunk of code you added to link_summary.tpl, the images are called, you will need to edit those 2 lines for the location of the images for your site.

I have them working on test Pligg site at Weblink Depot

Again, a big thanks to Josh at Sexy Bookmarks for creating it in the first place, and to Naeem Noor for giving me a starting place.

And finally, big congrats to Brian at Blog Engage on this milestone, make sure you check out his site.

jQuery Pligg Tooltip

Geoserv — Sun, 10 May 2009 19:06:56 +0000

jQuery has really progressed the web development world to the next level. I am going to show you how to add a simple jQuery feature to your Pligg install that will add a nifty feature that your users will definitely find useful.

One of the problems with most social media websites, like Digg, is you don’t always know if the link you are visiting will take you to something good or not.

That’s what jQuery and Tooltip come in.

I came across this little script when I was trying to find the fastest loading jquery tooltip to add to FAQPAL.

Here’s how to implement on your site, no matter what version of Pligg you are using.

First, download the following zip:

Note: There is a file embedded within this post, please visit this post to download the file.

Extract the contents and upload:

jquery.js and main.js to the js folder in your root directory

Open, pligg.tpl:

After,

{checkActionsTpl location="tpl_pligg_pre_title_thickbox"}
{checkForCss}
{checkForJs}
{checkActionsTpl location="tpl_pligg_pre_title_lightbox"}
{if $pagename neq "published" && $pagename neq "upcoming"}
{if $Spell_Checker eq 1}

{/if}
{/if}

add,

Save.

Open, link_summary.tpl,

Find,

{if $use_title_as_link eq true}
{if $url_short neq "http://" && $url_short neq "://"}
{$title_short}
{else}
{$title_short}
{/if}
{else}
{if $pagename eq "story"}
{$title_short}
{else}
{$title_short}
{/if}
{/if}

change,

{$title_short}

to,

{$title_short}

Save.

Open, main.css

Add,

/* */

#screenshot{
position:absolute;
border:1px solid #ccc;
background:#333;
padding:5px;
display:none;
color:#fff;
}

/* */

to the end of the file. Save.

That’s it, now when you hover over the story title, it will show a tooltip with a thumbshot.

Test drive it at FAQPAL.
