add / changing links

[FreeMail]

hi! i'm using mac os x theme, just want to ask if i can change the link of the 'home icon' to show two links instead of the pointing to the index.php page, i want it to be like the '@' button wherein it show 'register' and 'login' if you not yet logged-in.

i want the 'home icon' to point to:

1.) index.php
2.) link to my forum


TIA!

The code that defines the buttons is located in cpg/themes/mac_ox_x/theme.php

Here is the code for the @ button:

Code Select Expand

<td><img src="themes/mac_ox_x/images/menu_button_bg_left.gif" border="0" alt="" /><br /></td>
<td background="themes/mac_ox_x/images/menu_button_bg_middle.gif" valign="top">
<a href="javascript:;" onMouseOver="MM_showHideLayers('Menu1','','show')">@</a></td>
<td><img src="themes/mac_ox_x/images/menu_button_bg_right.gif" border="0" alt="" /><br /></td>
The Home button code is located just before this code.

The function that populates the text that appears below the @ button text is located in the same file. Search for:

Code Select Expand

function theme_main_menu1()

I hope this helps.

this has been asked very often already (next time, please search the board before posting), take a look at themes/hardwired/theme.php and look for

Code Select Expand

<!-- BEGIN my_gallery -->
                                        <td><img name="spacer" src="images/spacer.gif" width="5" height="25" border="0" id="spacer" alt="" /></td>
                                        <td><img name="buttonleftmy" src="themes/hardwired/images/buttonleftmy.gif" width="17" height="25" border="0" id="buttonleftmy" alt="" /></td>
                                        <td background="themes/hardwired/images/buttoncenter.gif">
                                                <a href="{MY_GAL_TGT}" title="{MY_GAL_TITLE}">{MY_GAL_LNK}</a>
                                        </td>
                                        <td><img name="buttonright" src="themes/hardwired/images/buttonright.gif" width="7" height="25" border="0" id="buttonright" alt="" /></td>
<!-- END my_gallery -->and replace with

Code Select Expand

<!-- BEGIN my_gallery -->
                                        <td><img name="spacer" src="images/spacer.gif" width="5" height="25" border="0" id="spacer" alt="" /></td>
                                        <td><img name="buttonleftmy" src="themes/hardwired/images/buttonleftmy.gif" width="17" height="25" border="0" id="buttonleftmy" alt="" /></td>
                                        <td background="themes/hardwired/images/buttoncenter.gif">
                                                <a href="{MY_GAL_TGT}" title="{MY_GAL_TITLE}">{MY_GAL_LNK}</a>
                                        </td>
                                        <td><img name="buttonright" src="themes/hardwired/images/buttonright.gif" width="7" height="25" border="0" id="buttonright" alt="" /></td>
                                        <td><img name="spacer" src="images/spacer.gif" width="5" height="25" border="0" id="spacer" alt="" /></td>
                                        <td><img name="buttonleftmy" src="themes/hardwired/images/buttonleftmy.gif" width="17" height="25" border="0" id="buttonleftmy" alt="" /></td>
                                        <td background="themes/hardwired/images/buttoncenter.gif">
                                                <a href="http://www.myphotodb.com/forum" title="Forum">Forum</a>
                                        </td>
                                        <td><img name="buttonright" src="themes/hardwired/images/buttonright.gif" width="7" height="25" border="0" id="buttonright" alt="" /></td>

i tried to 'search' for hardwired related issues but can't seem to find the thread about:


how can we add a link (button) on beside the 'register' and 'login' button of hardwired theme?

TIA!

[Joachim Müller]

I think this has been answered by my posting already. Take a look at the theme.php file and my above posting. If you don't come up with an answer to your question on your own, maybe you shouldn't try to modify coppermine at all and be happy with what you get "out-of-the-box" and try to grab some html basics first.

thank you for  the reply!

but the link is not visible when you're not logged in.

[Joachim Müller]

this is by design, move the link you've added into a section will always show, no matter wether you're logged in or not, for example after the line

Code Select Expand

<!-- END logout -->GauGau

thank you for your patience!

anyway, i just placed the code right after

Code Select Expand

<!-- BEGIN register -->instead.
