Forum Home Enhancements - Bookmark Us on Navbar or footer

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

Brought to you by the Haste Network - Free MMORPG Network

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.

Dude, this adds a link in your navbar or footer. When you click on that link, a window pops-up and asks you if you want to add the website as a bookmark or favorite.
I added screenshots to the first post... simple links.

[SwollenCranium]

Good job, I'm sure some will use it.

But I'm 100% sure I do not want members that are incapable of using the bookmark feature in the usual manner.

[Magnumutz]

Well, it wasn't my idea in the first place. I only made it for vB
However, i know what' your saying... it's nasty to have newb members, that stay that way.

But still, if it invites users to bookmark your site (some forget to bookmark useful sites) and if this makes more people bookmark your site, you might just get more return visitors. I think this is quite a handy addition.

Thanks for sharing.

The first post clearly explains how to add the link
You'll edit these 2 or 3 templates in your vBulletin Styles section in the admincp.
