Someone have a screenshot?

The basic feature is nice. But could you add a function to bookmark each and every thread you want ? Tested it with
<li><a class="navtab" href="javascript:bookmarksite('MySite.com - {vb:raw post.threadtitle}', 'http://www.mysite.com/showthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}t={vb:raw post.threadid}')">Bookmark now!</a></li>
but that won?t work.

May be you can have a look into that. Most users dont wanna bookmark the domain, they want to bookmark a single thread.

I am sure you could use a vb phrase ( would need to look further )

Such as {vb:rawphrase bookmarks}

For Page Bookmark

[VonDoom]

Good Stuff. I used the Page Mod. But i was wondering how to move this from the navtabs bar to the menu bar. im running out of premium real estate up there.

Don't work on ie8.

[WeBeef]

Don't work on ie8.

You're right. IE stinks. Hopefully it's an easy fix.

[VonDoom]

Don't work on ie8.
Confirmed.

[TimberFloorAu]

I dont use IE

But there are quite a few articles on this: http://www.google.com.au/search?q=%28document.location.href%29+internet+exp lorer&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a


To move the Link to another area.

Add it after :


<li><a href="calendar.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase calendar}</a></li>

[StormLily]

It's not working for me either...even on FF. It shows up on the navbar, but when you click on it, nothing happens.

[TimberFloorAu]

Click Install: post a link and I will check.

You could change :

document.location.href to

window.location.href

To move the Link to another area.

Add it after :


<li><a href="calendar.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase calendar}</a></li>

-----------------------------------------------------

Thanks for the tip.. If anybody else needs to move this below the nav tabs you need to remove the phrase "navtab" see example below
<li><a class= href="javascript:bookmarksite('British Expats', 'http://www.yobromofo.com')">Bookmark this site!</a></li>

[TimberFloorAu]

Thought about that after I left for Work, cheers VonDoom :up:

[S.McAvoy]

Very nice! Thanks!

[is_it_me]

This is odd, as it appears to work OK for me in I.E.

It doesn't seem to work at all in Chrome - any suggestions?

My main problem is how it's working in Firefox, it bookmarks the site OK, but when you click on the bookmark the site doesn't open in the existing tab nor a new normal tab, like any other bookmark, but in a strange tab to the left of the screen - see screenshot (http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k456/claphamboy/Bookmarkscreenshot.gif) - something I've never come across before.

My test site is here: http://test.doctorwatson.info/content.php

Is it something I've done wrong? Is there a fix for this?

[is_it_me]

Can anyone help me with ^^^^ that?

Thanks in advance.
