Basically this snippet creates a pop-up page. The contents of the pop-up is a pre-generated HTML link to your forum, which people can use to link to your board. The link automatically opens in a new window, using javascript to keep it XHTML valid
The pop-up itself is based on the private message pop-up code

The can be in your header, footer, index. It has to be in a phpBB template file though or it won't work. You could easily incorporate it into a custom phpBB page
Code: Select all

<a href="{U_LINK_US}" onclick="popup(this.href, 588, 218, '_linktous'); return false;" style="font-size: 13px;">{L_LINK_US}</a><br /></div>
The 2 numbers in popup code are the width & height respectively. Adjust these to your needs.
That should be it. I'll update this topic if there are any other changes
