New Nifty tool coming to promote from the Show Me forum

Now that we can pull forum content via RSS, I'm building a tool (50/50 referral share if you don't have a Nifty subscription) to allow you to promote directly from the Show Me forum. I'm in the early design phase so please reply with any requests for the tool and I'll do my best to include the best.

Looking forward to hearing your ideas!

A heads-up:

Because some places don't like shortened links (Pinterest for example), I'm going to have to exclude them from the tool.

You may want to take this into account when posting in the Show Me forum so that your products / collections get the best chance of being promoted with the new tool.

I'm making good progress with the new tool. I've got the guts of it working (still need to tweak some things) and now I need to integrate it with the Nifty Promo Control Panel.

Should be ready in a couple of days???

Watch this space.

There is some weirdness going on with image frames that I'm trying to sort out. The product / collection image sometimes get misplaced within the image frame.

Until I've got it fixed, you might want to avoid using them.

All sorted now 🙂

Let me know if you bump into any other issues or you have suggestions to improve the tool.

Thanks 🙂

I've now released the first full-functioning version with filtering.

I've noticed that on very active posts, Z is taking its time to update the feed. On the one shown (What's the last thing you sold? ), it hasn't been updated for a few days so you won't see anything in the tool posted since the 9th Feb even though there are some.

I hope you find it useful - please reply with any issues you bump into. Thanks!

(If you like it, hit the Kudo button - the more people that find out about the tool, the more chance your Show Me Forum posts will have of being promoted!)

I've now made the tool available via the Nifty Promo Control Panel. It's in Step2 under "Share individual products with Speed-Sharers".

Enjoy!

I've added a section to let you list forum topics. It's really only useful for listing topics and their (message) ids in the Show Me forum.

Saying that, I've included the other forums because it's actually quite a handy way of checking for topics you haven't seen in them yet.

Will putting your items in tables mess up sharing those posts for people who use your new tool? I've noticed more people doing it, and it's a nice look here in the forum, but I'd prefer to not make my posts less accessible to those who wish to promote... 

Great question, @PenguinPower 
I've just come to the forum to do some digging and from what I've seen, all is good. As long as you're using the hmtl you get via the product pages' share link within the tables, my tool will pick them up.
I tried it on message id 3374 in the Show Me forum and it picks up those in the first table just fine (which is as far as I looked).

Have a look yourself, if you like. The tool is here: https://niftytoolz.com/npcp/speed-sharer-khoros-uif.html
