Add Google +1 button to PhpBB

The Google +1 button is analogous to the Facebook Like.  With a few steps, we could add this feature to our PhpBB-based forum.

 

In the first place, edit two files : overall_header.html and viewtopic_body.html in the template folder as below.

 

overall_header.html

 

1.    find </head>

2.    in front of it, insert <script type="text/javascript" src="https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js"></script>

 

 

viewtopic_body.html

 

1.    find <div class="postbody">

2.    inline add to the appropriate position to show the +1 button

<div>

<g:plusone size="medium"></g:plusone>

</div>

 

 

It is advisable to refresh to template if the +1 button does not appear.

 

1.    Open PhpBB Administration Control Panel

2.    Click the 'STYLES' tab

3.    Click 'Templates' and 'Refresh'
