Mini Mods - Facebook button in postbit

I couldn't find this anywhere else so I made my own using Bratz-Designs Myspace mod as a start.

1. Make a profile field

In Admin CP go to - User Profile Fields - Add New User Profile Field
Profile field type = Single-line text box
Title: Facebook Profile
Description: Type your Facebook ID number
You can leave the rest to default

**Note down the number of the field! Example: field16. You need to replace the fieldX in the next code with the number!**

2. Template changes - In postbit_lecacy & Postbit

Find:

<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]

After add:

<!-- Facebook display start -->
<if condition="$post[fieldX]"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=$post[fieldX]" alt="View my Facebook" target="_blank">
<img src="images/misc/im_facebook.gif" border="0"></a>
</if><!-- Facebook display end -->

3. Button Upload

Upload the attached image to your: /images/misc folder!


4. Add link in members profile "Contact Info: section

Edit template - "memberinfo"

Find:

<if condition="$show['homepage']">
				<tr>
					<td>
						$vbphrase[home_page]:<br />
						<a href="$userinfo[homepage]" target="_blank" dir="ltr">$userinfo[homepage]</a>
					</td>
				</tr>
				</if>

Above add:

<if condition="$userinfo[fieldX]">
				<tr>
					<td>
						Facebook Profile:<br />
						<a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=$userinfo[fieldX]" target="_blank">Check out my Facebook page</a>
					</td>
				</tr>
				</if>

Dont forget to change the X to your field number.

No the [fieldX] should be the number of the field you created, NOT your facebook number, if you go to userfields in your Admin control panel and look for the field you named "Facebook Profile" it will have a field number next to it, you need to change all the X to that field number.

Check through the instructions from the start again and you will work it out.

Your facebook number gets added in your UserCP.

Hope this helps
