I modified the HTML structure just a bit with a container class ".fb_custom_container".

<style>
/* Add this to the bottom of your CSS file,

   1px = property placeholder so you can see the properties in a browser debugger.
         Their actual value is 0px;

    You will need to alter the following values to adapt to your layout.
*/

.toplinks ul.nouser #fb_loginbtn {
  margin-right: 1px;   /* 0px */
}
.toplinks ul.isuser #fb_loginbtn {
  margin-right: 5px; 
}
.toplinks ul.nouser .fb-like {
  margin-right: 12px; 
}
.toplinks ul.isuser .fb-like {
  margin-right: 1px;   /* 0px */ 
}
.toplinks ul.isuser #fb_link {
  margin-right: 12px; 
}
.toplinks div.fb_custom_container {
  float: left;
}
</style>

<li id="fb_headerbox" class="hidden">
    <div class="fb-like" data-href="http://facebook.com/myfacebookpage" data-send="false" data-layout="button_count" data-width="30" data-show-faces="false" data-font="verdana" data-colorscheme="dark">
    </div>
    <div class="fb_custom_container">
        <vb:if condition="$show['facebookuser']">
            <a id="fb_link" href="{vb:raw profileurl}">
                <img id="fb_squarepic" width="16" height="16" alt="{vb:rawphrase facebook_connect}" src="{vb:raw squarepicurl}" />
                <img id="fb_icon" width="14" height="14" alt="{vb:rawphrase facebook_connect}" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/facebook.gif" />
            </a>
        <vb:else />
            <a id="fb_loginbtn" href="#"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/facebook_login.gif" alt="{vb:rawphrase facebook_connect}" /></a>
        </vb:if>
    </div>
</li>

Can everything between the "style" tags go in the additional.css template? Thanks for posting all of that up, i'll be giving it a try!

Indeed, only logged in users see the connect button (oh and don't bother using Internet Explorer it never shows it )

Use this test account if you want to take a look:

user: support3
pass: P@ssw0rd123!

Thanks a bunch for taking the time to check it all out! :up:

Yes, I just posted it there for convenience for my own testing. I think I even posted a comment stating that you should move it to your CSS file, of course without the <style> tags.

That is because that is the OP's forum

I was following up on this thread with my own question... forum is located here: http://www.dirtyimpreza.com/forums/

The like button is in another part of the theme compared to connect button! :S

getting back to this..

i've experimented and kind of did it..

i've edited the Navbar template, and placed two more elements (a facebook and a twitter button) :

<!-- προσθήκη για facebook like -->
<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'facebook like'">
<li class="selected"><iframe src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/......" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
</li><vb:else />
<li><iframe src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/....." allowTransparency="true"></iframe></li>
</vb:if>
<!-- κλείνει η προσθήκη facebook like -->

<!-- προσθήκη για twitter follow -->
<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'twitter follow'">
<li class="selected"><a href="https://twitter.com/......" class="twitter-follow-button" data-show-count="false" data-show-screen-name="false">Follow @......</a>
<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+'://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');</script></li><vb:else />
<li><a href="https://twitter.com/......" class="twitter-follow-button" data-show-count="false" data-show-screen-name="false">Follow @......</a>
<script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+'://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');</script>
</li>
</vb:if>
<!-- κλείνει η προσθήκη twitter follow -->

just before the first <ul> closes...

It looks like this now:



Both buttons seem to work ok. But they are stuck to the top of the navbar.
Also, when the window is resized and there's not enough space, they get out of the bar and look messy:



I wonder:
a) is there a way to have them vertically align to the middle?
b) is there a way to have them placed on the right, just before the search box?
c) how can I have them fixed, so that they don't get out of the navbar when the windows gets smaller and there's not enough space?

thnx

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'facebook like'">
<li class="selected"><iframe src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=https..........." scrolling="no" frameborder="0" align="middle" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; height:21px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>

<li><iframe src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=https..........." scrolling="no" frameborder="0" align="middle" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; height:21px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe></li>
</vb:if>
<!--  facebook like button end -->

as the last element just before the first <ul> closes...

It looks like this now:



and it seems to work. But it's stuck to the top and I wonder:

How can I vertical align it? As you can see, I put align="middle" in the iframe tag, but nothing much happens.

Further, would it be possible to have it on the right, next to the search box?

thnx

You will need to add CSS to get it perfectly aligned where you want it. To move it to right next to the the search field you can try to use the css code float:right; To make it center and not be hugging the top you can either try padding-top:5px; (you can increase or decreased the pixels amount to fit it perfectly) or try margin-top:5px; (again you can adjust the number). You will need to probably make a new div tag for this and add it to your additional.css template.

i've played around with <div> tags, with no much success..

btw. i've updated the first post (sorry :/ )

Actually looking at your code from above you can add those CSS values into the code you provided in that last post you made before mine.
