Social Group and Album Enhancements - Follow Us links and Info on Forumhome for Social Sites

If you have your website listed at other places like Twitter, Facebook, or Myspace. Then you may find this mod handy. When you install this mod it will place a forum box at the bottom of your site above "What's going on"


Features:

• Link to your site's Facebook Fan Page, Twitter, and Myspace
• Adjustable left and right margins for images
• Add extra info into the box along with the Image Links
• Use HTML in the Follow Us box
• You can place the box anywhere by placing <!-- {FOLLOWUS} --> in any template
• You can resize the content box and images via AdminCP

Install:

• Upload the image folder to your forum root
• Install product file
• Set your settings in AdminCP and Enable

I would like to give a huge thanks to Vaupell for letting me use his code as a template. It was a huge help to me. This is my first real mod that I have made so any feedback would be wonderful.


To Do:

• Have options to turn off the site links that you don't need
• Add more Follow Us sites. Example: Blogger maybe

For now I don't have an option installed for placement. I will look into doing that. It won't be possible for 1.4 but I hope to have it done in a later version.

Thanks

I will add more options to control the size of the icons and the box. However, if you make the images to small they may get distorted. But I will see what options I can install for it.

Is it possible to have it displayed only on bottom? have uninstalled for now.

I'm sorry but I have no idea why it would do that. The code is super simple and it should only be at the bottom. If you would like to install it and then give me a link to your site I will take a look at it.

Now that I have added the option to place <!-- {FOLLOWUS} --> in any template you can now add it to the bottom of your CMS in the "vbcms_content_section_page" template. Thanks for the feedback!

Great mod! But I'll wait until the option to turn off unneeded links is available. Renaming the graphics files leave an ugly red X with a broken (unused) link. It makes it look like a part of my site doesn't work properly.

I wasn't able to find one that said "Youtube Group" If you can find me one I would be happy to add it. I may have one made.

[CrosseyedGamer]

Was just about to ask the same question.. No youtube image ..

[CrosseyedGamer]

there are a million youtube images. :-)
I just added one myself but it does not show up. Is the path set correctly and what does the image name need to be ?

I have it as youtube_follow_us.png

thanks.

plz upload youtube image

[CrosseyedGamer]

this is simply the base image for youtube. Note this is a jpeg and I am doing a search of png file now. I suspect that was why it did not show up even though I changed the name.
