Bookmark Us! (Add to Favorites) on Navbar or footer.

Please mark as "Installed" if you use this modification, thanks !

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.

Added Installation Instructions file on 19th of May.

Well, the code was probably made for FF2 and IE6/7.
So i'll look for another one to include all these new browsers and update it.

You forgot to add this to the first post. I have an apostrophe in my site name. It works fine now.

Remember, if your site's title contains apostrophes, they need to be backslashed when entered:

<a href="javascript:bookmarksite('Mike\'s Place', 'http://www.google.com')">Bookmark this site!</a>

btw .. this mod can by any mean cuz language disturbances?
I have my language in all forums missed up since installing it

[Magnumutz]

Nope... it's just a template edit, NOT a product.

Alex, did you get my PM?

Thanks

I altered it a bit to use an image instead for the footer version. I used this code:

<div><a href="javascript:bookmarksite('$vboptions[bbtitle]', '$vboptions[bburl]')"><img src="images/misc/bookmark.png" border="0" align="left" style="margin-right: 5px; margin-left: 5px;" alt="Bookmark Us" /></a></div>

Attached a screenshot; it's the yellow star icon next to the rss icon. And attached the bookmark icon itself.

Also attached the big version of the icon png if anyone wants to change the colors; change the Hue in Photoshop to get the color you want, then resize down to 16x16 pixel size.

Hope this is useful to someone then

It was to me! Thanks

Just to say that it does not work in Opera 9.5. IE and FF3 working great!

[BeerLuver]

I look at it this way... if it works in FF & IE at least.. that's two of the most popularly used browsers heh. Doesn't work in Opera or Safari, but viewers can just manually add the bookmark then in those
