Additinal Link on Post.Template

aw06 · September 30, 2009, 05:02:53 PM

Ok, i need an addition click-able Link on the post.template page ... right above the "Additional Options..." link...

Sabre™ · September 30, 2009, 05:38:10 PM

Gonna need more info mate lol
Or you could just carry on and add it before

// If the admin has enabled the hiding of the additional options - show a link and image for it.

Arantor · September 30, 2009, 05:49:17 PM

So, this is for 1.1, guessing it's on a default template.

What would the link look like, where would it be on the page, and where would it go?

Sabre™ · September 30, 2009, 05:52:05 PM

Yep, thats the addition info I referred to lol

Was wondering if i could simple paste <a href="url">Link text</a> above that ...

I'm don't have access to test, hence why I'm posting

Just need the Plain Jane Hyperlink ..
<a href="url">Link text</a>

Arantor · September 30, 2009, 06:08:51 PM

It's not quite as simple as that - the above code is actually in PHP, and very likely it wouldn't end up where you expected because the whole thing is in a table layout in 1.1.

Thus we'd need to know where on the page you wanted it.

^^^^^^^^^^ Above it ... or below .. either

OOORRR !!!

Centered Below the [Post | Preview | Spell Check]

Arantor · September 30, 2009, 06:15:50 PM

As part of the additional options collapsable items or not?

If above/below Additional options, where on the page - left, middle, right?

Please pick a single place you want it and we'll show you where to add it. It makes no difference in complexity terms where you want it.

aw06 · September 30, 2009, 06:24:20 PM

Ok ... I will take one link directly below Additional options aligned left,

and another link Centered Below the [Post | Preview | Spell Check]

Arantor · September 30, 2009, 06:32:03 PM

Please attach your Post.template.php here - while you may have a completely fresh one, if you've got any mods that have affected it, it might disarrange any instructions we give.

aw06 · September 30, 2009, 06:49:36 PM

attached .. o yeah .. link should open in new window target=_blank

aw06 · September 30, 2009, 08:20:45 PM

nothing for me yet ?

Arantor · September 30, 2009, 08:26:33 PM

Sorry, I've been distracted with some RL business, so I haven't had chance to get on this. Please note we'd normally ask 24 hours in between posts.

ok, no prob ...

aw06 · October 02, 2009, 08:39:15 AM

ttt

aw06 · October 20, 2009, 11:46:06 AM

BUMP ....

As mentioned above ... need to drop a clickable link right above the "Additional Options..." on the post page..

Arantor · October 20, 2009, 11:48:28 AM

I'm still not clear what you want.

One link or two, on one or two lines, and where should these links go to?

aw06 · October 20, 2009, 12:00:34 PM

Need 1 link, figuring if i need more i can just copy and duplicate the code ... see pic below for what i need...

Arantor · October 20, 2009, 01:16:53 PM

Unfortunately it's not quite as simple as that.

There is a table structure involved and it means figuring out where to add the link in the table.

aw06 · October 20, 2009, 01:20:18 PM

Hmm ... thought it was a fairly simple edit $:-\$

aw06 · October 20, 2009, 01:58:51 PM

OK, can you give me the raw code to use ,,, i will trial and error it until the placement is correct ..

I don't think i can use just this code alone

Code Select

<a href="url">Link text</a>

aw06 · October 20, 2009, 02:14:35 PM

Ok, I'm trying this code ... $:-\$ .. but it's not working

.. need the correct format..

Code Select

//Code for Clickable Link
	if($context['user']['is_logged'])
			<a href="http://linktourl.com">Text Text Text</a>;

// Code for showing and hiding additional options.

Where am I going wrong ??

Arantor · October 20, 2009, 03:00:37 PM

The problem is the table structure. The area to the left of the post box is one td, the post box is another.

aw06 · October 20, 2009, 03:10:24 PM

ok, so technically how would i generally call it into the page

whats missing from my code ?

Arantor · October 20, 2009, 03:11:13 PM

This is why I wanted to know exactly where you wanted it, to give you the precise code to add.

aw06 · October 20, 2009, 03:52:55 PM

ok, the pic i attached it exactly where i want it ... above....

// Code for showing and hiding additional options.

Arantor · October 20, 2009, 04:32:03 PM

Both links?

In the left or centre or right?

aw06 · October 20, 2009, 04:57:04 PM

Are you seeing the pic i attached ??

For now just need one link .. exactly above the 'Additional Options..."

aw06 · October 20, 2009, 04:57:20 PM

Arantor · October 20, 2009, 04:59:48 PM

Yes, I saw that. Doesn't change what I'm getting at, at all.

I note you asked for two links. Are they both there, on the left? I seem to recall mention that one should be in the middle. If they're both in the left, are either likely to be wider than the space to the left of the postbox?

All of these are relevant, by the way, as I need to know whether to make a single row that spans both table columns or not, or two rows, even.

aw06 · October 20, 2009, 05:14:50 PM

Ok, forget about the link in the middle ...

Right now i need just one link on the left ... the text i plan to use it will be no wider than the 'additional options.." text

Arantor · October 20, 2009, 05:45:13 PM

And where does this link go and should it be in red or some other colour?

aw06 · October 20, 2009, 05:52:51 PM

You can point it to www.shopinja.com [target=_blank] for now... it can be red ... but these are all values i can go in and change no

Arantor · October 20, 2009, 06:01:25 PM

Sure they are, but I'd rather give you the final code and just be done with it.

OK kool, no problem

Arantor · October 20, 2009, 06:36:32 PM

The attached version has the link in red in the place you've asked.

aw06 · October 20, 2009, 07:25:43 PM

OK, will have a look abit later ...

have to go on the road now ..

aw06 · October 21, 2009, 08:01:14 AM

OK,,,, for a slightly better layout i changed your code abit ... code I'm using is this

Code Select

// If this message has been edited in the past - display when it was.
	if (isset($context['last_modified']))
		echo '
									<tr>
										<td valign="top" align="right">
											<b>', $txt[211], ':</b>
										</td>
										<td>
											', $context['last_modified'], '
										</td>
									</tr>';
	echo '
									<tr>
										<td align="left" colspan="2">
											<b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a style="color:red;" href="http://shopinja.com/forum/index.php?topic=4.msg4#msg4" target="_blank">ShopinJA.com Disclaimer !</a></b>
										</td>
										<td>
										</td>
									</tr>';

Basically it allows me to move the text and line it up with the addition options text .. See pic below..

Can you just verify that this code is infact clean and tidy

Arantor · October 21, 2009, 08:08:51 AM

If you're using colspan="2", remove the empty <td> after it.

aw06 · October 21, 2009, 08:10:30 AM

like so ??

Quote<td align="left" colspan="2">
<b>         <a style="color:red;" href="http://shopinja.com/forum/index.php?topic=4.msg4#msg4" target="_blank">ShopinJA.com Disclaimer !</a></b>
~~</td>~~
~~<td>~~
</td>
</tr>';

And it's ok to use all those spaces ??    can i not use some padding to control it as well ?

Arantor · October 21, 2009, 08:14:59 AM

Sure you can use padding-left, in the td, but that works as well.

aw06 · October 21, 2009, 08:19:18 AM

Ok kool .. this one solved ... code now looks like

Code Select

echo '
									<tr>
										<td align="left" colspan="2">
											<b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a style="color:red;" href="http://shopinja.com/forum/index.php?topic=4.msg4#msg4" target="_blank">ShopinJA.com Disclaimer !</a></b>
										</td>
									</tr>';

Actually flows better with the extra <tr></tr> gone

as the page was abit wider with it ...

Now if you can tell me where to add those <tr></tr> in the moderator checkbox topic i have

Arantor · October 21, 2009, 08:30:29 AM

As I think I said to you in that thread, it isn't just as simple as having the link, you also have to modify the code to process both rather than one or the other.

aw06 · October 21, 2009, 09:42:24 AM

OK kool ... will give you some more time to look into that one ...

Final Product

Arantor · October 21, 2009, 09:47:19 AM

Very nice.
