Button problems...

[GMCbris]

I have asked this question elsewhere in the forum (In the Mod support thread) and on the mod developers own site

And I have had no luck in getting some help

My problem is coding - I am a complete novice, but I have had a go at it.  There are some issues but I feel I am very close

Can some one please have a look and let me know where I am going wrong:

I have a text button that looks ugly



So I have been trying to make it look like the other buttons next to it... I have had a go at the code and came up with this... and it almost works.. it just sends the uses to the left hadnd side of the screen and the CHAT name is no where near the image I made for it

// FlashChat!
global $modSettings;
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
echo ($current_action == 'chat' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '
<td>',($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/chatbutton.GIF" alt="' . $txt[182] . '"/>' : ''),'
</td><td>&nbsp;<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=chat">Chat</a></td>', (!empty($modSettings['fc_newWindow']) ? ' target="_blank"' : ''), '>', $txt['fc_chat'], (!empty($modSettings['fc_showUserCount']) && !empty($context['num_chat']) ? ' [<strong>' . $context['num_chat'] . ' ' . ($context['num_chat'] == 1 ? $txt['user'] : $txt['users']) . '</strong>]' : ''), '</a>
</td>' , $current_action == 'chat' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';

This is what the rest of the buttons look like (The ones directly to the left of the new button)... well the code for them anyway

// How about the [search] button?
if ($context['allow_search'])
echo '<td>',($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/esearch.gif" alt="' . $txt[182] . '"/>' : ''),'
</td><td>&nbsp;<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=search">Explore</a></td>';



This is the code that they gave me the text button as shown in the above "pic snap" that didnt look great

// FlashChat! global $modSettings; if ($context['user']['is_logged']) 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="', $scripturl, '?action=chat"', (!empty($modSettings['fc_newWindow']) ? ' target="_blank"' : ''), '>', $txt['fc_chat'], (!empty($modSettings['fc_showUserCount']) && !empty($context['num_chat']) ? ' [<strong>' . $context['num_chat'] . ' ' . ($context['num_chat'] == 1 ? $txt['user'] : $txt['users']) . '</strong>]' : ''), '</a> </td>' , $current_action == 'chat' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';


ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED...

Do something like

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna


// Flash chat
   if ($context['allow_search'])
      echo '<td>',($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/chatbutton.GIF" alt="Chat"/>' : ''),'
            </td><td>&nbsp;<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=chat">Chat</a></td>';

I did try something similar to this and gave up on it for two reasons

1.  I am stupid
2.  I am stupid

Thanks for the amazingly simple solution

GMC

If I can impose just a little bit more - is there a way to make the "space" between the image and the text smaller - more in line with the rest of the buttons

Thanks

remove   from code

[GMCbris]

remove   from code

Sorry.. should have mentioned it

I tried that... and nothing, no change

It appears, in my non code brain, that Chat is right justified where it needs to be left... is there a way to change its position

Yes I know nothing about coding
