'Add to Favorites'

Permalink 2 users found helpful
I'm building a company intranet/portal for a client.

I'd like to be able to offer the users the ability to add a page or article to a list of 'favorites' that could appear in a block on a sidebar or individual favorites page. The listing would contain article titles and links to the full articles

Is there something in the works from the c5 team, or has anyone done something similar to this on their site? It seems like it could be done pretty easily with the built-in file listing capability, and something like an 'attribute' visible with each article on the front end.

you don't need a block, you can easily create a link for this, but don't forget that not all browser support this which is why most people use toolbars like addthis..

A JavaScript Link with such a code should do the trick:

if (window.sidebar) { window.sidebar.addPanel(yourTitle, yourUrl,"");} else if( window.external ) { window.external.AddFavorite( yourUrl, yourTitle); }

i'm not sure if you mean add favourites to websites like digg and bookmark websites, but do you mean where users can add a page/forum thread to there favourites then visually see all of there favourites on a set page and able to unsubscribe etc? this idea is pretty good, vbulletin uses it alot

Remo/void...

I'm not looking for a way to add to the browser's favorites... I'm building a portal with many, many pages available to the visitor. I'd like to give them a block that accumulates & displays their 'favorite' content from that site, right on the website.

In other words, it would be a page list, article list, file list... whatever they deem as a 'favorite.' It would make the portal much more user-friendly, even though we have a great nav scheme.

Make sense?

We have an addon ("I like") being developed that could probably fit your needs. In a few words, the addon does the following:

1) "I like this" block is added. This block allows registered users to "bookmark" page they view on the website.
2) Users have their "liked" pages in their profile;
3) "Favorites wall" block is added, it lists the N latest activities (N is defined by admin)
4) "Top liked" block allows to list the top N pages that were liked most often.

We are going to submit the addon on Monday or Tuesday. The price is going to be about $40.

Hi,

Did you ever get anywhere with this one? I just checked your profile but didn't see it available as a marketplace add-on.

Thanks very much!
