Quite usefull. There´s any way to add a bookmark only for a certain page and not for the entire forum, I mean, if user is viewing a certain topic and he wishes to bookmark it, there´s any way to provide this feature?

[Guthix2007]

Hi there, i've added a bookmark us link to my forum but i'm a bit confused as to what i do with this bit of code

CODE

<div class='ipb-top-right-link'><a href="java script:bookmarksite('Site Name', '{$this->ipsclass->base_url}act=idx')">Bookmark Us</a></div>

it says

Don't forget to change the "Site Name" part to the name of your site, also - remove the space between the "java script" then it's good to go.

now does that mean i change the code to this ?

CODE

<div class='ipb-top-right-link'><a href="java script:bookmarksite('Youvidit', '{$this->ipsclass->base_url}act=idx')">Bookmark Us</a></div>

please show me how to do this

thanks

The tutorial is very specific as to where the code belongs. If you follow the instructions "Bookmark Us" will be properly placed.

[Musalman]

Haha Ok

I have that same problem and found in the bookmark properties it has checked.
"Load this book mark in the side bar" But I can not find in this script how it is checking that box.

[buzzlightyear]

Works good for me in FF 2.0.0.3
Also..i have add it on my left side instead of my right side..look good for me..you have to change that.
Find:




Add below:


<script type="text/javascript">
function bookmarksite(title, url){
if (document.all)
window.external.AddFavorite(url, title);
else if (window.sidebar)
window.sidebar.addPanel(title, url, "")
}
</script>

thanks to the original poster.

[Amichan]

That does not fix the problem of the book mark opening in the side bar.

[exel]

Works Great! thanks

[braineater]

It works fine for internet explorer, but when I test it in firefox then when it has been bookmarked then when you want to click the bookmarked site, it pops up in a sidebar on the left.

Is that normal? Or what should I do?

[Sean]

That's been a problem with Firefox for a while, I never found a way to fix it

The only manual way I know is to open your bookmarks menu, right click the bookmark, then uncheck the load in sidebar option.

I have just tried to add the 'Bookmark us' tab to the 'Global Board Element' 'Submenu' in IPB 2.3.6 but this has had the effect of placing all the tabs on top of each other down the right hand side.

So instead of the submenu being:

'Submenu_left element. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Submenu-right element, (Gallery, Calendar, Members, Search, Help, Bookmark Us)

It come out as:

Submenu-left element
Gallery
Calendar
Members
Search
Help

How do I get it back to what it was before with the tabs in the right place. This is on the 'Pro-skin', 'Classic Blue' is fine.

Thanks
