Follow Us Widget/Forum Block · **Released**: 03-24-2010

I was asked to create a widget and forum block from a few users so after doing some testing, I was able to come create them.

Install CMS Widget:

Upload the image files
Go to admincp and select vBulletin CMS >> Widgets
Press Create New Widget
At Widget Type select Static HTML
At Title type: Follow Us
Now click Save
Select Follow Us Widget and then click Configure
Select and Delete any white space

Copy and paste HTML code below and then save config ( Edit each line of code with the settings you want where you see the "XXXX" also you can edit the margins as well )

Code:

<!--Twitter Code-->
<br /><a href="http://twitter.com/XXXXXX"><img src="images/misc/95x56/twitter_follow_us.png" title="Follow Us on Twitter" width="XXXXXX" height="XXXXXX" style="margin-left: 16px; margin-right: XXXXXXpx;"/></a>

<!--Facebook Code-->
<a href="XXXXXX"><img src="images/misc/95x56/facebook_follow_us.png" title="Follow Us on Facebook" width="XXXXXX" height="XXXXXX" style="margin-left: 16px; margin-right: XXXXXXpx;"/></a>

<!--Myspace Code-->
<a href="http://www.myspace.com/XXXXXX"><img src="images/misc/95x56/myspace_follow_us.png" title="Follow Us on Myspace" width="XXXXXX" height="XXXXXX" style="margin-left: 16px; margin-right: XXXXXXpx; margin-top: 10px;"/></a>

<!--Youtube Code-->
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/group/XXXXXX"><img src="images/misc/95x56/youtube_follow_us.jpg" title="Follow Us on YouTube" width="XXXXXX" height="XXXXXX" style="margin-left: 16px; margin-right: XXXXXXpx; margin-top: 10px;"/></a>

Go to admincp and select vBulletin CMS>> Layout Manager
Select your layout (eg: Default Layout)
Edit>> Go
At Widgets Select Follow Us and Add to the right by pressing the (>) button
Move the widget to the area in your CMS that you want it

Install Forum Block:

Upload the image files
Go to admincp and select Forums & Moderators >> Forum Blocks Manager
Press Add Block
At Add new block select Custom HTML/PHP
At Title replace Custom HTML/PHP with: Follow Us
Under Block Config>> Click HTML

Copy and paste HTML code below and then save config ( Edit each line of code with the settings you want where you see the "XXXX" also you can edit the margins as well )

Code:

<!--Twitter Code-->
<br /><a href="http://twitter.com/XXXXXX"><img src="images/misc/95x56/twitter_follow_us.png" title="Follow Us on Twitter" width="XXXXXX" height="XXXXXX" style="margin-left: 16px; margin-right: XXXXXXpx;"/></a>

<!--Facebook Code-->
<a href="XXXXXX"><img src="images/misc/95x56/facebook_follow_us.png" title="Follow Us on Facebook" width="XXXXXX" height="XXXXXX" style="margin-left: 16px; margin-right: XXXXXXpx;"/></a>

<!--Myspace Code-->
<a href="http://www.myspace.com/XXXXXX"><img src="images/misc/95x56/myspace_follow_us.png" title="Follow Us on Myspace" width="XXXXXX" height="XXXXXX" style="margin-left: 16px; margin-right: XXXXXXpx; margin-top: 10px;"/></a>

<!--Youtube Code-->
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/group/XXXXXX"><img src="images/misc/95x56/youtube_follow_us.jpg" title="Follow Us on YouTube" width="XXXXXX" height="XXXXXX" style="margin-left: 16px; margin-right: XXXXXXpx; margin-top: 10px;"/></a>

Now click Save

**Note: With this MOD the image files path will be set to ""images/misc/95x56/" That way if you have the other versions installed, it won't cause issues. Also if you want to use even the smaller images, edit the HTML to point at 48x28.

In the code you need to remove the <br /> tags.

I started to say.. I just looked at it and it looked in line. If you want some spacing you need to add to the top margin of the pics.

SuperGLS · #18 03-25-2010, 10:47 PM

gyaronn, do you mind if I use the images you have on your site?

GONUMBER6 · #19 03-26-2010, 06:10 PM

This is a dumb question I know, but I just want to make sure I do it right!

What do I need to put where the red X's are?

Thanks in advance!

Not dumb at all.

Code:

<!--Twitter Code-->
<br /><a href="http://twitter.com/XXXXXX">

Replace the X's with your Twitter ID

Code:

<!--Facebook Code-->
<a href="XXXXXX">

Replace the X's with your facebook address. Example: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Ban...1493616?ref=ts

Code:

<!--Myspace Code-->
<a href="http://www.myspace.com/XXXXXX">

Replace the X's with your Myspace ID

Code:

<!--Youtube Code-->
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/group/XXXXXX">

Replace the X's with your youtube group ID

Now for the other X's that you see after images is to adjust the height or width. Also you can adjust the margins if you need to. But if you leave them as X's it will keep the pictures default values
