Bookmark Us on Navbar or footer

Bookmark Us! (Add to Favorites) on Navbar or footer.

Brought to you by the Haste Network - Free MMORPG Network

Please mark as "Installed" if you use this modification, thanks !

Q: What this does?
A: It adds a "Bookmark Us" link in your navbar or your footer.

This code is a free source from DynamicDrive.com. Users are NOT allowed to remove the copyrights.

How to install:

In the header template place this at the end of the template:

HTML Code:

<script type="text/javascript">



/***********************************************

* Bookmark site script- ? Dynamic Drive DHTML code library (www.dynamicdrive.com)

* This notice MUST stay intact for legal use

* Visit Dynamic Drive at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source code

***********************************************/



/* Modified to support Opera */

function bookmarksite(title,url){

if (window.sidebar) // firefox

    window.sidebar.addPanel(title, url, "");

else if(window.opera && window.print){ // opera

    var elem = document.createElement('a');

    elem.setAttribute('href',url);

    elem.setAttribute('title',title);

    elem.setAttribute('rel','sidebar');

    elem.click();

} 

else if(document.all)// ie

    window.external.AddFavorite(url, title);

}

</script>

Now, for the navbar version, search the navbar template for:

PHP Code:


		
			
    <if condition="$show['registerbutton']">
        <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="register.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[register]</a></td>
    </if>

After that, add:

PHP Code:


		
			
        <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="javascript:bookmarksite('$vboptions[bbtitle]', '$vboptions[bburl]')">Bookmark Us!</a></td>

For the footer version, search the footer template for:

PHP Code:


		
			
                <if condition="$show['contactus']"><a href="$vboptions[contactuslink]" rel="nofollow" accesskey="9">$vbphrase[contact_us]</a> -</if>

Above that, add:

PHP Code:


		
			
                <a href="javascript:bookmarksite('$vboptions[bbtitle]', '$vboptions[bburl]')">Bookmark Us!</a> -

That's about it... tested with Firefox and IE6.

Added Installation Instructions file on 19th of May.

Screenshots?
Demo?

Thaks!

Dude, this adds a link in your navbar or footer. When you click on that link, a window pops-up and asks you if you want to add the website as a bookmark or favorite.
I added screenshots to the first post... simple links.

Good job, I'm sure some will use it.

But I'm 100% sure I do not want members that are incapable of using the bookmark feature in the usual manner.

Magnumutz

12-26-2007 01:45 AM

Well, it wasn't my idea in the first place. I only made it for vB :p
However, i know what' your saying... it's nasty to have newb members, that stay that way.

But still, if it invites users to bookmark your site (some forget to bookmark useful sites) and if this makes more people bookmark your site, you might just get more return visitors. I think this is quite a handy addition.

Thanks for sharing.

The first post clearly explains how to add the link :)
You'll edit these 2 or 3 templates in your vBulletin Styles section in the admincp.

When you say bookmark, does that mean add to favourites? or as homepage?

PaulSonny

02-12-2008 06:18 PM

This seems very basic? does it not?

Thanks, Paul.

You'll be surprise how many new visitors will use this if they actually see it. It seems to say come back and visit. ;)

Magnumutz

02-13-2008 06:44 AM

@UltraFanatics: Yes, as a favorite... bookmark is the Firefox term for it :p
@PaulSonny: Yeah, i mostly is. But it's the first one of it's kind :)

does this work in IE7, FF2 ?

Magnumutz

02-13-2008 10:10 AM

Donno if it works with IE7, i don't have it on my PC, but it does with FF2.

How should I align this on the left side of the footer bar? Thanks!

Magnumutz

02-14-2008 02:20 PM

Well... that depends on the skin you got. On the default skin i aligned it on the right side.

youradhere4222

02-14-2008 07:23 PM

Yes, I'm using the default skin...

Magnumutz

02-15-2008 02:25 PM

Then it'll auto align itself there... on the right side, just like in the screenshot.

youradhere4222

02-15-2008 03:56 PM

Yes, but I'm pretty sure I asked how to align it on the left side...

Magnumutz

02-16-2008 05:07 AM

Oh, my bad :p
I tried aligning it on the left side, right after the Style and Language selector... but it looks real ugly, the whole text breaks down like this:

Code:

Bookmark

Us!!

How about a text file with the instructions in case someone has to reinstall sometime?

Magnumutz

05-19-2008 12:22 PM

Thanks for the suggestion Boofo, i added one :)

Doesn't work for me with IE8 beta. I get an eror on page.

Magnumutz

05-27-2008 11:32 AM

Well, the code was probably made for FF2 and IE6/7.
So i'll look for another one to include all these new browsers and update it.

Boofo

05-27-2008 11:55 AM

You forgot to add this to the first post. I have an apostrophe in my site name. It works fine now. ;)

Quote:

Remember, if your site's title contains apostrophes, they need to be backslashed when entered:

<a href="javascript:bookmarksite('Mike\'s Place', 'http://www.google.com')">Bookmark this site!</a>

I have my language in all forums missed up since installing it

:)

Magnumutz

05-30-2008 06:32 PM

Nope... it's just a template edit, NOT a product.

Boofo

Alex, did you get my PM?

BeerLuver

06-28-2008 12:09 AM

Thanks :)

I altered it a bit to use an image instead for the footer version. I used this code:

Code:

<div><a href="javascript:bookmarksite('$vboptions[bbtitle]', '$vboptions[bburl]')"><img src="images/misc/bookmark.png" border="0" align="left" style="margin-right: 5px; margin-left: 5px;" alt="Bookmark Us" /></a></div>

Attached a screenshot; it's the yellow star icon next to the rss icon. And attached the bookmark icon itself.

Also attached the big version of the icon png if anyone wants to change the colors; change the Hue in Photoshop to get the color you want, then resize down to 16x16 pixel size.

Hope this is useful to someone then ;)

It was to me! Thanks ;)

Just to say that it does not work in Opera 9.5. IE and FF3 working great!

BeerLuver

06-28-2008 08:09 PM

I look at it this way... if it works in FF & IE at least.. that's two of the most popularly used browsers heh. Doesn't work in Opera or Safari, but viewers can just manually add the bookmark then in those ;)
