Follow us links in line with breadbrumb
I had been looking to place follow us links on the forum. Tried using advertisements, and sidebar but nothing seemed to much helpful, and also they don't show up on every page, as the follow us links should. Finally, I made this little modification in templates to place the Follow Us links in line with breadcrumb.
Snapshot: I am going to share with you how I did it. it requires a little code editing in the admin section of your board, so if you're not comfortable doing that please don't try on a live board, or ask someone who can do it for you. 1. Go to the Styles and temples > Style manager > Choose "edit templates" for the style you want to edit 2. Click on CSS templates and a list will open up. Click on Additional.css and go to the end of the template. 3. Paste the following code there. Code:
/* New Crumb */ #breadcrumbx { margin-bottom: 5px; width: auto; } #breadcrumbR { float: right; } #breadcrumbR li { display: inline; list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; } #breadcrumbR ul { margin: 0; padding: 0; } #breadcrumbL { float: left; } /* End New crumb */ 4. We have prepared CSS for the modification, now we need to place the actual code in the templates. 5. Go to the "Navigation/breadcrumb templates" and click on it to open templates under it. Click on template named "navbar" 6. Find : Code:
<div class="body_wrapper"> Find: Code:
<div id="breadcrumb" class="breadcrumb"> <ul class="floatcontainer"> <li class="navbithome"><a href="index.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" accesskey="1"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/navbit-home.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase home}" /></a></li> {vb:raw navbits.breadcrumb} {vb:raw navbits.lastelement} </ul> <hr /> </div> 8. Replace this code with the following code: Code:
<div id="breadcrumbX"> <div id="breadcrumbL"> <div id="breadcrumb" class="breadcrumb"> <ul class="floatcontainer"> <li class="navbithome"><a href="index.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" accesskey="1"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/navbit-home.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase home}" /></a></li> {vb:raw navbits.breadcrumb} {vb:raw navbits.lastelement} </ul><hr> </div> </div> <div id="breadcrumbR"> <ul> <li> <a href="http://twitter.com/books_writers"> <img src="/images/follow/twitter.jpg"> </a> </li> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/BooksWritersCom/"> <img src="/images/follow/facebook.jpg"> </a> </li> <li><a href="http://plus.google.com/u/0/104621077342474730540"> <img src="/images/follow/googleplus.jpg"> </a> </li> <li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/bookswriters"> <img src="/images/follow/youtube.jpg"> </a> </li> <li><a href="http://books-writers.blogspot.com/"> <img src="/images/follow/blogger.jpg"> </a> </li><li><a href="https://delicious.com/bookswriters"> <img src="/images/follow/delicious.jpg"> </a> </li><li><a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/stumbler/bookswriters"> <img src="/images/follow/stumbleupon.jpg"> </a> </li><li><a href="email"> <img src="/images/follow/email.jpg"> </a> </li><li><a href="http://bookswriters.tumblr.com/"> <img src="/images/follow/tumblr.jpg"> </a> </li><li><a href="http://zigverve.com/forum/external.php?type=RSS2"> <img src="/images/follow/rss.jpg"> </a> </li> </ul> </div> <br clear="all"> </div> 9.
