Hey everyone, This mod is for Facebook & Twitter! Its like a Badge for your forumhome page! And it will appear in the corner of your homepage! A big thanks to MybbExtras.Net (http://MybbExtras.Net) for giving me full permission and support to let us re-use some of their amazing plugins as a vBulletin mod! I am an old mybb board owner, and I decided to use all what I have learned about css and html, and forward it to you guys and to make vBulletin grow further! This is an amazing and easy setup, and I use it on my own forum too! I hope you will like this one!

-------------------
Version 1.00: This is very simple and just 1 Template Edit and 3 Steps

Lets Start..........

Step 1: First go to your ADMINCP, and Style & Templates. Now the right side of your Template name, you should see a dropdown menu! Click on the dropdown and choose Edit Template!

Step 2:The next thing we have to do is, to add the CODE for the Badge, and you can either add it in your "header" template or in your "footer" Template! Make sure to add it at the end of the template!

Below you will see 2 different Codes, 1 for Facebook, 1 for Twitter! need to add the URL of your facebook or twitter instead of RED TEXT!

Facebook Code: (Replace Red Text: With your Facebook or Twitter URL)
<a href="http://YOUR-FACEBOOK-URL" target="_blank"><img src="images/facebook.png" alt="Facebook" style="position: fixed; top:0; right:0; z-index:999;" title="Join our Facebook Page" /></a>


Twitter Code: (Replace Red Text: With your Facebook or Twitter URL)
<a href="http://YOUR-TWITTER-URL" target="_blank"><img src="images/twitter.png" alt="Twitter" style="position: fixed; top:0; right:0; z-index:999;" title="Follow us on Twitter" /></a>

Make sure to replace the Red Text With your Facebook or Twitter URL.

Notice: You cant add both of the codes, else they will make conflicts, and the code on top will cover the code below! So only add one of the codes.

Step 3: Now dont forget to copy the images from the attachments below! There are 2 images, one for facebook (facebook.png) and one for Twitter (twitter.png). Upload only one of the images, in your forums "images" folder that you want to use as your Badge!

Thats it, we are done.

Thank you for following up on this tutorial, and ones again thanks to all of you who have Installed my previouse mods and clicked on the Install Button! Its because of you guys I keep going! Thanks a lot!

Stay Tune for more, and please dont forget to click on INSTALLED!

[ChiNa]

RSNF, Than you mate, Its because of members like you I keep going! This is also why I have choosen to Support for all my mods. And I am totally new starting with vBulletin! Thanks for Installing and for 5 Stars! If I could help out with anything let me know!

[ProFifaLeagues]

Another Fine mod thanks mate great work

[ChiNa]

Thank you Pro... Your all amazing clicking on the Installed button,

[otterag]

ChiNa-Man,
Are you willing to do custom work, I am looking to pay for work and have looked at a few of the things you have done and I like them.
I have 2 projects in mind that i can't find mods for and would like to discuss them with someone.
You can contact me via private message or email here.

[ChiNa]

Sure mate, but it really depends on your choice! I am not good in XML Products, but I can try make you mods instead and obviously also install it for you! Try add me, so I can send you a message about what I need to know! I did message you, but your permission did not allow me...

Talk to you laters..

China-Man

any chance to use this for the left side instead of the right? I use a peel back for the right corner, which when u highlite over it the page peels back. Obviously this will not work with the mod, unless I could get it for the use of left side.....is this possible

[glen290]

+1 as it covers the log out link in the header.

[woffie]

To place it left just change the code

<a href="http://YOUR-FACEBOOK-URL" target="_blank"><img src="images/facebook.png" alt="Facebook" style="position: fixed; top:0; left:0; z-index:999;" title="Join our Facebook Page" /></a>

[woffie]

I changed the image too.

[ChiNa]

Hi woffie, Good job, but make sure to edit your facebook.png and twitter.png befor it works!

[initiald]

[ChiNa]

Here is the CODES + Attached images below for using it on the left side:

METHOD 1: Facebook on left + Twitter on right
FACEBOOK ON LEFT:
<a href="http://YOUR-FACEBOOK-URL" target="_blank"><img src="images/facebook.png" alt="Facebook" style="position: fixed; top:0; left:0; z-index:999;" title="Join our Facebook Page" /></a>

TWITTER ON RIGHT:
<a href="http://YOUR-TWITTER-URL" target="_blank"><img src="images/twitter.png" alt="Twitter" style="position: fixed; top:0; right:0; z-index:999;" title="Follow us on Twitter" /></a>METHOD 2: Facebook on right + Twitter on left

[Crrrazzzy]

is there a way to make them both on the right?

[ChiNa]

is there a way to make them both on the right?

Yes sure mate, but it takes a lot of work to change lots of the codes and images! Thats not worth it, at all!

[RichieBoy67]

Do you guys have the left side image for twitter?

[TheSupportForum]

Do you guys have the left side image for twitter?

if you have a photo editing package just flip the image simple

[TheSupportForum]

Yes sure mate, but it takes a lot of work to change lots of the codes and images! Thats not worth it, at all!

to be honest it takes 2 minutes to change the code, its simple HTML
and if anyone has an image editing package its easy for them to deal with the rest

this is a good template edit but it can be adapted to include the URL edits within the admincp rather than the template, i have complety rewrote the code to deal with this myself so i dont need to go into the template and add the url directly

[ChiNa]

Do you guys have the left side image for twitter?

@simonhind Its easy, Tho the images are the hard part for many on here, because they dont have the right tool) Thats why I think its a bit hard for THEM to change the images and codes! While It will take a 1 min for me or less!

@RichieBoyFirst of all sorry I had exams and been very tight working, and if you take a look on the first page, I did make the LEFT side codings! But here is it again!

CODE + Attached images below for using it on the left side:

METHOD 1: Facebook on left + Twitter on right
FACEBOOK ON LEFT:
<a href="http://YOUR-FACEBOOK-URL" target="_blank"><img src="images/facebook.png" alt="Facebook" style="position: fixed; top:0; left:0; z-index:999;" title="Join our Facebook Page" /></a>

TWITTER ON RIGHT:
<a href="http://YOUR-TWITTER-URL" target="_blank"><img src="images/twitter.png" alt="Twitter" style="position: fixed; top:0; right:0; z-index:999;" title="Follow us on Twitter" /></a>METHOD 2: Facebook on right + Twitter on left


FACEBOOK ON RIGHT:
<a href="http://YOUR-FACEBOOK-URL" target="_blank"><img src="images/facebook.png" alt="Facebook" style="position: fixed; top:0; right:0; z-index:999;" title="Join our Facebook Page" /></a>
