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.

Can't get it to work in IE either.

Ensure you did things right, IE7 is working well with the bookmark in the navbar.

Can this code be added to a side column, rather than navbar or footer?

[Fanny Annie]

<a href="javascript:window.external.AddFavorite('http ://www.yoursite.com','your site title')">
<center><img src ="/your/image/path.gif" border="0"></center></a>

just add that .............. a lot simpler and add your image where the path is and it centers in the side nav

Of course, i don't see why not... just find a good place for it.

[Ohiosweetheart]

Fanny Annie, I tried your code and it didn't work on my site. Nothing happens when I click the bookmark image. I also went to your site and tried clicking on the Bookmark button, again, and nothing happened.




@ Magnumutz - This is the code I used for my side column, using a button image, works like a charm. You may want to add this to your original
post? Just a thought...

<a href="javascript:bookmarksite('$vboptions[bbtitle]', '$vboptions[bburl]')"><img src ="http://www.image path/bookmark.png" border="0"></a>
