How do you exit out of the coppermine program

[dukhunter99]

On my website, how do I allow users to exit the photogallery and go back to the other parts of my website. I notice there is no exit button or link.

Add a link back to your main website by placing it somewhere on the template.

Edit template.html.

If you want your button to intermingle with the rest of the buttons you will have to edit $template_main_menu inside your theme.php.

I'm sorry but I know very little about HTML Coding. I know how to get to the file you are talking about but I don't know where to stick the language. I also would like to use the same style button as the program. I'm using the rainy day theme.

edit themes/rainy_day/theme.php with a plain text editor (notepad.exe is fine), find

Code Select Expand

$template_main_menu1 = <<<EOT
                <span class="topmenu">
                        <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
                                <tr>and add after it (in a new line)

Code Select Expand

                                        <td><img name="spacer" src="images/spacer.gif" width="5" height="25" border="0" id="spacer" alt="" /></td>
                                        <td><img name="button1_r1_c1" src="themes/rainy_day/images/button1_r1_c1.gif" width="5" height="25" border="0" id="button1_r1_c1" alt="" /></td>
                                        <td background="themes/rainy_day/images/button1_r1_c2.gif">
                                                <a href="the_other_page.html" title="the text that is suppossed to apear when you mouse over the link">the link text</a>
                                        </td>
                                        <td><img name="button1_r1_c3" src="themes/rainy_day/images/button1_r1_c3.gif" width="5" height="25" border="0" id="button1_r1_c3" alt="" /></td>

Sorry to do this but I gave the wrong theme that I needed the html coding for. What would the coding be to put an exit link in the classic theme. Sorry about the confusion!

same situation:

go into the theme you want to add the button to.

look for $template_main_menu (or $template_main_menu1 if you are trying to modify a split menu theme)

copy the first button block you find ie:

From classic

Code Select Expand


<!-- BEGIN album_list -->
                       <a href="{ALB_LIST_TGT}" title="{ALB_LIST_TITLE}">{ALB_LIST_LNK}</a> ::
<!-- END album_list -->


paste the code right above the same button:

Code Select Expand


<!-- BEGIN album_list -->
                       <a href="{ALB_LIST_TGT}" title="{ALB_LIST_TITLE}">{ALB_LIST_LNK}</a> ::
<!-- END album_list -->
<!-- BEGIN album_list -->
                       <a href="{ALB_LIST_TGT}" title="{ALB_LIST_TITLE}">{ALB_LIST_LNK}</a> ::
<!-- END album_list -->


Now modify your newly cloned button taking care to also modify the name of the button between the <!-- and -->'s so you end up with something like this:

Code Select Expand


<!-- BEGIN my_button -->
                       <a href="http://www.blessed2bless.us/by-steve/end-of-internet.html" title="The Missing Link">Exit</a> ::
<!-- END my_button -->
<!-- BEGIN album_list -->
                       <a href="{ALB_LIST_TGT}" title="{ALB_LIST_TITLE}">{ALB_LIST_LNK}</a> ::
<!-- END album_list -->


The name you give your button isn't important as long as it doesn't duplicate an existing button, you don't even REALLy need the remarks before or after your custom button, but they are absolutely mandatory for the builtin menu items.

have fun.
