    What it does: it shows an XML button next to your URL in the adressbar (works fine with PHP LD 2.0 and Firefox 1.5.x)

    Find in header.tpl:




    Add the following code:

    {if $smarty.const.ENABLE_RSS and ($qu ne '' or $category.ID gt 0 or $p)}
    {/if}
    Done!

    Result:

    now the users of your PHP LD can use Firefox's Live Bookmark facility!

    update:
    it works also fine in v3.x


  • Not to sound stupid, but what does this do?

    Whenever I click on the xml icon, it asks me if I want to add a bookmark to the page.

  • What about getting a mod for putting you favicon in the toolbar of i.e ? that would be really cool and also cater for the masses.


    Ask and you shall recieve.

    everything you needed to know,

    just add the following into the of you header.tpl once you have made your icon.



  • I get RSS, I assumed that the link would give the user a direct access to the RSS feed for that cat.

    I wasn't aware that this feature was implementing Firefox's Live Bookmark (http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/livebookmarks)facility.

    changed the title

    Your playing this contribution down, Firefox is getting used more and more as i.e is bug filled. As mozilla and others are not so well known neither are their methods so your input is top class, it allowed Boby in to explain further.

    Well, browse a category and click on the icon, add the bookmark and it will create a folder where you will have all category links listed. When a new link is added or one is removed, it will be changed in your bookmark too.
    It's some sort of bookmark all links of your favorite category.
