Hey everyone, This mod is for Facebook & Twitter! Its like a Badge for your forumhome page! And it will appear in the corner of your homepage! A big thanks to MybbExtras.Net for giving me full permission and support to let us re-use some of their amazing plugins as a vBulletin mod! I am an old mybb board owner, and I decided to use all what I have learned about css and html, and forward it to you guys and to make vBulletin grow further! This is an amazing and easy setup, and I use it on my own forum too! I hope you will like this one!

Version 1.00: This is very simple and just 1 Template Edit and 3 Steps

Facebook Badge Example




Twitter Badge Example

Lets Start..........

Step 1: First go to your ADMINCP, and Style & Templates. Now the right side of your Template name, you should see a dropdown menu! Click on the dropdown and choose Edit Template!

Step 2:The next thing we have to do is, to add the CODE for the Badge, and you can either add it in your "header" template or in your "footer" Template! Make sure to add it at the end of the template!

Below you will see 2 different Codes, 1 for Facebook, 1 for Twitter! need to add the URL of your facebook or twitter instead of RED TEXT!

Facebook Code: (Replace Red Text: With your Facebook or Twitter URL)

<a href="http://YOUR-FACEBOOK-URL" target="_blank"><img src="images/facebook.png" alt="Facebook" style="position: fixed; top:0; right:0; z-index:999;" title="Join our Facebook Page" /></a>

Twitter Code: (Replace Red Text: With your Facebook or Twitter URL)

<a href="http://YOUR-TWITTER-URL" target="_blank"><img src="images/twitter.png" alt="Twitter" style="position: fixed; top:0; right:0; z-index:999;" title="Follow us on Twitter" /></a>

Make sure to replace the Red Text With your Facebook or Twitter URL.

Notice: You cant add both of the codes, else they will make conflicts, and the code on top will cover the code below! So only add one of the codes.

Step 3: Now dont forget to copy the images from the attachments below! There are 2 images, one for facebook (facebook.png) and one for Twitter (twitter.png). Upload only one of the images, in your forums "images" folder that you want to use as your Badge!

Thats it, we are done.
