Mini Mods - Facebook button in postbit

I couldn't find this anywhere else so I made my own using Bratz-Designs Myspace mod as a start.

1. Make a profile field

In Admin CP go to - User Profile Fields - Add New User Profile Field
Profile field type = Single-line text box
Title: Facebook Profile
Description: Type your Facebook ID number
You can leave the rest to default

**Note down the number of the field! Example: field16. You need to replace the fieldX in the next code with the number!**

2. Template changes - In postbit_lecacy & Postbit

Find:

<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]

After add:

<!-- Facebook display start -->
<if condition="$post[fieldX]"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=$post[fieldX]" alt="View my Facebook" target="_blank">
<img src="images/misc/im_facebook.gif" border="0"></a>
</if><!-- Facebook display end -->

3. Button Upload

Upload the attached image to your: /images/misc folder!


4. Add link in members profile "Contact Info: section

Edit template - "memberinfo"

Find:

<if condition="$show['homepage']">
				<tr>
					<td>
						$vbphrase[home_page]:<br />
						<a href="$userinfo[homepage]" target="_blank" dir="ltr">$userinfo[homepage]</a>
					</td>
				</tr>
				</if>

Above add:

<if condition="$userinfo[fieldX]">
				<tr>
					<td>
						Facebook Profile:<br />
						<a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=$userinfo[fieldX]" target="_blank">Check out my Facebook page</a>
					</td>
				</tr>
				</if>

Dont forget to change the X to your field number.

I had to add the bolded bit into the code, otherwise the facebook icon would only show if someone had MSN/ICQ etc

The facebook icon will only show if you have it filled in on your profile.

powerful_rogue is right, your not realizing what he is saying. If a user doesn't have an MSN or Yahoo listed in their profile, then the FaceBook button WILL NOT SHOW UP regardless if they have any info listed in their facebook field or not. So let's say a user has listed info in their facebook field but they haven't listed a yahoo or msn etc, then the facebook button will not show up.

You have to add OR $post[field6] after $post[skypeicon] so it looks like this

$post[skypeicon] OR $post[field6]
