Adding a Button and link

[gantocks]

Hi there

Firstly

I have searched and cannot find a way to add a Button with a link to version 1.1.5

I wish to add a Button which will Link to My Flashchat .

Forgive my ignorance as I am New to SMF.

I tried the Mod crbutton but I could not change the link from the roadrunner link that was in the mod.

I have now uninstalled that mod.

Can anybody help this idiot.

LOL

Many thanks

Hi there Owdy

Thanks for that

I have added this as suggested to the index_template.php as suggested.

As you can see the url is <a href="http://oceans19.net/forum/chat/flashchat.php [nofollow]>

However when clicking on the button I am taken to http://www.roadrunner.cx/ [nofollow] which was the URL in the crtbutton Mod I used previously

Where else do Ineed to place the Url of the Chatroom


    // The Chat Room
        echo '
     <a href="http://oceans19.net/forum/chat/flashchat.php [nofollow]>', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/chat.gif" alt="Chat" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[467]), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'];

Are you sure you are editing right theme? If you still have that "wrong" link, just edit that and correct it.

Hi Owl

I use the SMF Default Theme and that is the File I have edited

It places the Button on the Forum without a problem it is just the URL that does not change

Cheers for your reply

[Owdy]

If you open /Themes/default/index.template.php and search http://www.roadrunner.cx/ , do you find it? If yes, change that url. If no, the you are editing wrong file.

gantocks,

attach a copy of your index.templat.php file if you can't figure it out.

[Jumpmasterrt]

And a link to your page, sorry.

Hi JumpmasterRt

Here is the link

http://oceans19.net/forum/index.php [nofollow]

[Jumpmasterrt]

The link doesn't show to guests, so try this file.

I deleted what you had and added

Code Select Expand


// the [chat] button
echo ($current_action == 'chat' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '
<td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'chat' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
<a href="http://oceans19.net/forum/chat/flashchat.php>' , $txt[467] , '</a>
</td>' , $current_action == 'chat' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';

Hi there

I uploaded the file you kindly sent and overwritten the original

There is no button showing on the menu

What could the reason for that be?

Once again thanks for your help

probably the $txt[467]. I registered on your forum so i can see. Once we're done you can delete me.

Ok so it added a space.... that's odd.

Ok, made a change

The link was missing a set of " anyway so it's good it didn't work.

Try this......
