Be Involved! - Site corner image... Module

This module allows you to help people to Get Involved with some campaigns, either donating to Joomla! or more importantly helping to extinguish Poverty (MakePovertyHistory.org).

*** Answering to user requests I've just add support for Twitter (3 different images), facebook and Wordpress.

*** Photoshop (PSD) image file is now available for download ***
*** NOW FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH J!1.5 - NO need for legacy mode plugin ***
*** New parameter! Now you can choose whether you want to open the link in a new window or not. ***

* Light weight * Loads fast *

The module is fully customizable (image, text and link). This way you not only can translate the text for each campaign but you can promote your own campaign!

You can have one of the corner images pre-defined or make your own... corner image that comes in the module:

* Joomla! - Suport Joomla!
* MakePovertyHistory
* Hope Unlimited for Children - Transforming the lives of street kids.
* StopGlobalWarming.org
* NineMillion.org - There are over 9 Million refuge children
* UNICEF.org - For every child: Health, Education, Equality, Protaction,...
* Komen.org - Race for the Breast Cancer Cure
* American Red Cross
* I'm Ready - American Red Cross
* The Hunger Site - Clique to give FREE Food!
* Spread FireFox
* GreenPeace
* 3 Twitter images;
* Wordpress;
* Facebook.

If you want to make your own image, I've added the Adobe Photoshop (PSD) file. I hope it will help you...

September 22nd 2009:
+ Added Twitter + Facebook + Wordpress images

September 16th 2008:
- Bug fixed in Joomla 1.5 version: now it allows to have it installed in a subdirectory

December 17th 2007:
- Added Hope Unlimited, which is a Award-Winning Program that aims to transform "the lives of Brazil's street kids".
- StopGlobalWarming.org is a non-profit movement to demand our leaders freeze and reduce carbon dioxide emissions now. We are all contributors to global warming and we all need to be part of the solution.
- NineMillion.org is committed to giving refugee youth the chance to learn and play, recognizing that education and sport can improve their lives.
- UNICEF.org, is committed to child protection, survival, basic education, gender equality and development.
- Komen.org is dedicated to curing breast cancer at every stage - from the causes to the cures, to the pain and anxiety of every moment in between.

December 14 2007:
With the community Input I've added two American Red Cross Images... The "I'm Ready" is very nice for people who use Live Messenger because a percentage of the revenue with Ads goes to the Red Cross.

If you know a social cause/campaign and you want to publish it on your site, do not hesitate to send the logo to me and I will update this module for you...

Thanks... Its simple and easy!! Love it
Another great module from Ideal...even though I am not a php programmer by any stretch, the changes to the index.php file to add the Campaign module position was a snap! Now we can support several campaigns! Thanks Doug!

This is excellent, with clear instructions, easy to follow. I find this corner banner simpler than others, but what is even better is the fact that it just works.

I had a different corner banner, it looked really pretty but only worked in the front page.

Get INvolved works great on all of my pages. Thanks!

This is such a nice module, its suppose to show a banner on the top right side of your joomla website. Works right out of the box, just enable it and select your favorite community or what ever and your set....

Great Job guys... keep up the Great Work..
I stumbled across this extension and, being new to Joomla, had no idea really what I was doing in respect to uploading extensions and so on.
I had a small glitch once uploaded, contacted the developer, and within 10 minutes I had a reply to my email and my problem was fixed.
I absolutely love this extension and that I am able to "make a difference" in a small way.
My deep thanks to the developer for making available such a worthy extension.

Simple and effective corner banner, that does exactly what it advertices.
- In the future I would like a way of showing the banners randomly
byShackbase on February 11, 2009
I really like this plugin. It is simple and it does what it is supposed to do with several support options and if you want to use it as a ad spot, you can of course use it for that as well.
If I could give this 6 stars, I would! I have installed this on several websites that use Joomla 1.0.x and 1.5.x. It worked first time, every time for me. I wanted to put up a different logo - for a charity supporting young people in difficult circumstances. I emailed the developer; he replied in a few minutes and agreed to help. I emailed him the logo that I wanted on the websites, and he returned the graphic a few minutes later. The idea of this extension is brilliant! And it works! Use it to help others.

... and excellent support from the author.

Had a few issues when installing primarily because I was using an old copy of the module but didn't notice and then the mod_beInvolved.xml file corrupted on upload!

A little help from Douglas and all is working perfectly now.

Top marks!

Just installed this module on our site. The site support was superb and very helpful. I am running Joomla 1 and the image did not show up at first. I was not 100% sure on the module position so created a new one after help from the site owners and then with their help added the code to the template just after the BODY tag in the HTML and bingo... all works fine now. I just added a new image and link and it looks great. Once again thank you to the devs for great support and a great module.
byklaasroelofs on October 15, 2008
Had a small issue with loading a custom image, as well as opening the link in the parent browser instead of a new one.
I filled in the contact form on Douglas' website an within a few hours (!) he mailed me a modified version.
In other words: GREAT SUPPORT for a great module!
byjmvvb on September 24, 2008
I had some issues installing it, nor me or douglas know why, but I reinstalled it and worked like a charm
GREAT support in just a couple of minutes!!

I wish there could be a way of controlling the shape of the banner, in a way that the link just worked where the banner is present, not the whole square... but I guess it's really hard to achieve that.
byConcrete Sound on August 22, 2008
This is a fantastic module. Simple to install and to use. It's for a good cause as well. What more could you ask for?
byyogiboy on August 22, 2008
Very easy to use!!!
I had a few minor configuration issues (at my end, not the developer's) and I got very quick help. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised by the quick help... anyone who develops a mod like this is obviously someone who cares about what they do. Well done!
byericinnyc on May 5, 2008
Love the community involvement from this extension. Easy to set up and easier to help make a difference.
I installed the extension with no problems but had one bug with the template I was using. I emailed the author and he worked on it over the weekend, then sent me a fix. Fantastic extension and great support; he really cares that it works for your needs.
