**EDIT**
Just a heads up, alt="blah", for links does not show up in Chrome.
You have to use, title="blah", adding both in works fine.
alt is for opening links in a new window...
I thought "target" was the new window, shouldn't "alt" be what is shown when you hover over an image?
My bad. You are right.

You want it to show a link when hovering? Is that what you meant?

~V~  , this is great, but the "Show with Icons" we use for something a little different.  see Brawler Info Box  http://www.brawldomain.com/AASMF2/profile/hcfwesker/   ( i don't want any other custom fields in that box)

I been trying to use the option "Standard (with title)".  Now, i made edits so the title doesn't show in the post profile, but you know how the "With Icons" option stacks each one side by side  ( unless you include a <br  > in there) ....  Well, with the "standard (with title) option, each once lines up on top of one another.   see facebook and youtube icons in my post profile   http://www.brawldomain.com/AASMF2/index.php?topic=33.msg148#msg148

what kind of edit needs to be made so they appear side by side like the "With Icons" option, like the IM buttons?

Hope you can help, thanx , bud. :)


It seem you changed it back to icons. Please provide a screenshot.

No, I just edited it so the (Standard with title) option CPF's would be shown directly under the IM icons.  you'll see, the "Peach" image in my profile is assigned "with Icons".  And when i show the 2nd image demo, when using "with icons" for my social site images, they are labeled under the Peach image.

How they're shown stacked on top one another in image #1 ; I'd like for them to be stacked side by side, like in image #2 ( but that only happens when selecting the option "with Icons" ... but I need it to do the same when using (Standard with title) option.

Image when assigned the option (Standard with title)   -- stacks on top each other




Image when assigned the option (With Icons)  -- stacks side by side




I hope that explained it better.


~DS~

That's how it is in SMF.  With Icons it will stacks side by side. For standard, it would require some modify to the file.

Nah was just letting you know since you had it in your link, plus I wanted to make the text hovering over it kinda match what is shown on all the other little icons :).

I understand that.  Was hoping you'd know how the edits would go.

Probably did it wrong but my links are showing as text and not images.

They are also in the wrong place.

No, I mean how did you input in the field box? What code did you use exactly? If it's showing text make sure "Choose Placement: With Icon" is there.

Did you add anything in your profile? If you are trying to add FB, use the ID instead of the ful FB url.

It's your username or ID after the FB url. www.facebook.com/Brack1

Did you upload the icons?
