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:

<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.

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

[PaulSonny]

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.

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

[logicuk]

does this work in IE7, FF2 ?

[Magnumutz]

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]

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