Add to favorites on forumhome

[Sephiroth32]

I am stumped here.

I want to have a little link in the forum listing that lets you add a perticular forum to your favorites. I found a javascript but it only lets you do one url, could I pout as the url the url to any forum but use $forum[forumid]?

As in add a forum to Internet Explorer's favorites?

I am a little confused. There is a script that lets you click and it adds to your IE's favourites, but what you are saying is confusing me.
Could you explain a bit better?

ok sorry i'll try to be more clear here (and yes its IE)

I want a link to appear next to every forum name that says [add to favorites]. When you click it I would like it to bring up the favorites dialog for IE so you can add it like thoose links on websites that say "add this page to your favorites".

I have found an add to favorites javascript but it is just a function that only supports one URL. The script is:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function addbookmark()
{
bookmarkurl="http://wwwyoursite.com"
bookmarktitle="Site Title"
if (document.all)
window.external.AddFavorite(bookmarkurl,bookmarkti tle)
}
// End -->
</script>


As you can see only one url can be used. I tried making the URL include $forum[forumid] but it just put nothing for $forum[forumid]. Is there a way to have this add to favorites link for ever forum? or does it require file hacking

I'll look into this.

couldnt you just do something like:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function addbookmark()
{
bookmarkurl="$bburl/showthread.php?$forumid"
bookmarktitle="$threadname"
if (document.all)
window.external.AddFavorite(bookmarkurl,bookmarkti tle)
}
// End -->
</script>

those arent the right variables, but it makes the point...
