Adding a link

[farmergiles]

Hi, all I am trying to do is add/change a link so that it's easy to get back to my sites home page from the gallery.  I have searched through all the custom header/footer threads and tried most things with no success.  When I amend the link on the template.html page, the new link works but the gallery loses all its artwork and appearance.  Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong.  I'm sure there is a really easy thing I'm not doing or doing wrong but I've been trying this for 4 days and can't do it  :\'(

Can anyone give me some advice bearing in mind my zero knowledge of code writing...

                        <a href="homepagelink.php">Home Page</a> ::
                        <a href="{LASTUP_TGT}">{LASTUP_LNK}</a> ::

Hi

I'm using Rainy day template and it have this code:

Code Select Expand

<a href="{LASTUP_TGT}">{LASTUP_LNK}</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>
                                        <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="{LASTCOM_TGT}">{LASTCOM_LNK}</a>

Is this code that I have to replace? What I have to replace?

Thanks

all plain html, not sure why you ask - should be easy. However, edit themes/rainy_day/themes.php, find

Code Select Expand

                                        <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="{SEARCH_TGT}">{SEARCH_LNK}</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>and add after it (in a new line)

Code Select Expand

                                        <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="your/custom/link.htm">your 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>

thanks for the advice but ..
I have added the code to make the link appear in the header,
but. it doesnt link to www.cakesbyjen.co.uk 
it links to http://www.cakesbyjen.co.uk/coppermine/www.cakesbyjen.co.uk

this is the code i used :-

                           $template_main_menu = <<<EOT
                <span class="topmenu">
<a href="www.cakesbyjen.co.uk">my board</a> 

Have looked through the searches u posted and tried different ways but alas,  I`m still stuck

Thanks
Mick

You need to use a full url in your link, ie. http://www.cakesbyjen.co.uk

[Mobilemick]

As easy has that, 


Working fine now,

thanks M8

The only thing you are doing wrong is searching for solution in cpg1.3.x support board while you are using cpg1.4.x.
