how do i change the buttons on my template???

[Ivan Minic]

Just upload new ones to the same location where old ones were...

[joshkol]

I guess i should have explained better, i want the home button to go to a different link and i want to add a button, where would i add the html part in the script?

[Ivan Minic]

index.template.php

Code Select Expand

// Show the menu up top.  Something like [home] [help] [profile] [logout]...
function template_menu()
{
global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt;

// Show the [home] and [help] buttons.
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/home.gif" alt="' . $txt[103] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[103]), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'], '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=help" target="_blank">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/help.gif" alt="' . $txt[119] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[119]), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'];
. . . . .

i got that whole part but where exactly do i type the url?

[Ivan Minic]

Well, if you know html, that wouldn't be a problem, it is well explained and documented...
for example for Home, all u need is to change this:

Code Select Expand

<a href="', $scripturl, '">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/home.gif" alt="' . $txt[103] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[103]), '</a>'
Into

Code Select Expand

<a href="Whatever url you want">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/home.gif" alt="' . $txt[103] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[103]), '</a>'
Where "Whatever url you want" represents new url you want to use

thank that helped alot but how do i add a button, i got a picture but i dont know the exact html to type.

[Ivan Minic]

Be specific, where exactly to put what button linked to where in menu....

[joshkol]

well i linked the home button to the site home page(not the forum home page) and now i want a button that goes to the forum index in the menu next to home(if posible not picky).

[Ivan Minic]

index.template.php

Find:

Code Select Expand

// Show the [home] and [help] buttons.
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/home.gif" alt="' . $txt[103] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[103]), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'], '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=help" target="_blank">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/help.gif" alt="' . $txt[119] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[119]), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'];

Replace:

Code Select Expand

// Show the [home] and [help] buttons.
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/home.gif" alt="' . $txt[103] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[103]), '</a> <a href="location you are linking to" target="_blank"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/button1.gif" alt="alt tex" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" /></a> <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=help" target="_blank">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/help.gif" alt="' . $txt[119] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[119]), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'];

Where:
location you are linking to - actual link
$settings['images_url'] . '/button1.gif - image of new button located in Themes/default/images/
alt tex - short description of that link

[joshkol]

[joshkol]

// Show the [home] and [help] buttons.
   echo '

'" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[103]), '</a> <a href="http://www.kyouakujounins.com/forums/" target="_blank"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/forum.gif" alt="forum index" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" /></a> <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=help" target="_blank">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ?
