Small "Hardwire" Question

[Cole]

I am using "Hardwire":
http://patty-loveless.net/gallery/

My question is....I want those links to be text only, not have all the buttons-- How can I make it text only on that area? I don't like the buttons at all.

Thanks for any help!!

[Cole]

My apologies- I did a search and found the answer on here! Thanks.

[Cole]

Well, maybe someone can help me:

I got the buttons gone...and have the links perfect...but only in Mozilla do they line up perfectly next to eachother. In IE, they go down. Can anyone tell me what I screwed up to make it to this? I don't understand how it looks perfect & the way I want it to in Mozilla, but not IE.

Thank You!!!

can't see any navigation at all when going to the site you refered to. Post a link to the page where we can see the changed navigation (or a non-admin test user account if needed).

[artistsinhawaii]

I don't see any menu on your site, either.

The easiest way to replace the buttons with simple text links is to copy the :

blocks of code in the Classic theme's theme.php file that begin with

<!-- BEGIN my_gallery -->

and ends with

<!-- END logout -->

and pasting them over the corresponding code blocks in the Hardwired theme's , theme.php file.

Dennis is of course right. However, you might have made a boo with the table cells. For details, attach your theme.php to your next posting (rename it to theme.txt before attaching it).

[Cole]

Sorry about that- I had accidentally taken the complete navigation off.

http://patty-loveless.net/gallery/

I did as Dennis suggested, and did the same for the others (the search, album list, etc, etc)--- but when I view the page in IE, it looks really messed up. I'm screwing up somewhere and can't figure out where:(


My theme.php is attached! I appreciate all the help, thanks so much!

Looks like you have a host of other issues in your template.html file as well.  Can't say for sure but I see a lot of un-paired tr's and td's.

anyway,

try replacing the menu section of your file with the following AND make sure your browser [CONFIG default theme]  is pointing to your hardwired theme.  It looks like the Classic is selected by default.

// HTML template for main menu
$template_main_menu1 = <<<EOT
   <span class="topmenu">
       <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
              <tr>
<!-- BEGIN my_gallery -->
                        <a href="{MY_GAL_TGT}" title="{MY_GAL_TITLE}">{MY_GAL_LNK}</a> ::
<!-- END my_gallery -->
<!-- BEGIN allow_memberlist -->
                        <a href="{MEMBERLIST_TGT}" title="{MEMBERLIST_TITLE}">{MEMBERLIST_LNK}</a>  ::
<!-- END allow_memberlist -->
<!-- BEGIN my_profile -->
                        <a href="{MY_PROF_TGT}">{MY_PROF_LNK}</a> ::
<!-- END my_profile -->
<!-- BEGIN faq -->
                        <a href="{FAQ_TGT}" title="{FAQ_TITLE}">{FAQ_LNK}</a> ::
<!-- END faq -->
<!-- BEGIN enter_admin_mode -->
                        <a href="{ADM_MODE_TGT}" title="{ADM_MODE_TITLE}">{ADM_MODE_LNK}</a> ::
<!-- END enter_admin_mode -->
<!-- BEGIN leave_admin_mode -->
                        <a href="{USR_MODE_TGT}" title="{USR_MODE_TITLE}">{USR_MODE_LNK}</a> ::
<!-- END leave_admin_mode -->
<!-- BEGIN upload_pic -->
                        <a href="{UPL_PIC_TGT}" title="{UPL_PIC_TITLE}">{UPL_PIC_LNK}</a> ::
<!-- END upload_pic -->
<!-- BEGIN register -->
                        <a href="{REGISTER_TGT}" title="{REGISTER_TITLE}">{REGISTER_LNK}</a> ::
<!-- END register -->
<!-- BEGIN login -->
                        <a href="{LOGIN_TGT}">{LOGIN_LNK}</a>
<!-- END login -->
<!-- BEGIN logout -->
                        <a href="{LOGOUT_TGT}">{LOGOUT_LNK}</a>
<!-- END logout -->

          </tr>
         </table>
     </span>
EOT;
$template_main_menu2 = <<<EOT
    <span class="topmenu">
         <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
             <tr>
<!-- BEGIN album_list -->
                        <a href="{ALB_LIST_TGT}" title="{ALB_LIST_TITLE}">{ALB_LIST_LNK}</a> ::
<!-- END album_list -->
                        <a href="{LASTUP_TGT}">{LASTUP_LNK}</a> ::
                        <a href="{LASTCOM_TGT}">{LASTCOM_LNK}</a> ::
                        <a href="{TOPN_TGT}">{TOPN_LNK}</a> ::
                        <a href="{TOPRATED_TGT}">{TOPRATED_LNK}</a> ::
                        <a href="{FAV_TGT}">{FAV_LNK}</a> ::
                        <a href="{SEARCH_TGT}">{SEARCH_LNK}</a>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </span>
EOT;

Thanks so much!

I have that in now and it looks exactly how I want it to when I am using Mozilla...It still doesn't look right using IE--- the links all go down instead of going across.

[artistsinhawaii]

The first <table> bock above, try:

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

try

   

<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

and if that doesn't work, look in your css.style file and search for

.topmenu {
        font-size : 100%;

and add right below the last line:

        white-space: nowrap;

[Cole]

You've been such a great help, thanks so much, I've got it all working just perfectly now!!

[Cole]

One last teeny question, actually! How can I center those links? I put align="center" in the table, and it didn't do anything (anywhere I've tried centering it, it doesn't work). (Only in IE- In Mozilla it's centered perfect) It's centered in my template.html, and does in Mozilla, so I'm not sure what I've done LOL this time!

[artistsinhawaii]

Teeny, huh? 

Well then maybe I should simply forget that you asked?

But then someone else might come along and reply something like this:

Look in your template.html file and center the menus like this:

<tr>
        <div align="center">
              {SYS_MENU}<br />{SUB_MENU}
        </div>
    </tr>
   <tr>
        <div align="center">{ADMIN_MENU}
        </div>
    </tr>

and then the joke would be on me.

This must be part of my problem with my template.html file you were mentioning earlier.  I originally had a problem getting a header in the gallery & a friend of mine sent me her template with that.  Whenever I put in the code above, it takes my header to the bottom of the page, and then makes the gallery wide enough to fill the page. LOL, I know, I'm a pain  I've had Coppermine before, and had it working great- I just never bothered customizing it all that much until now, lol.

[artistsinhawaii]

Hmmm

try putting the align="center" into the <span        > statement.

Then attach a copy of your template.html, I'll have a look at it.

But I won't be getting back till tomorow... it's turkey time here in Hawaii.
That's turkey, sushi, pies, cakes, roast beef, other goodies.
And we all know that is a priority numero uno .

Cole,

When combined, this is what your template.html and theme.php generates, where:

The first <table>, <tr>, and <td>
have no matching pairs to close the table, row, and column:    </table>, </tr>, and </td>

The third block starting with <table> and ending with </table> doesn't do anything. There is no code in there whatsoever. Just a lot of empty tables and cells.

The last <table>,  <tr>, <td>, block ends abruptly, as well.  No closing pairs.

As it is not in your theme.php, it has to be in the template.html.
try aligning your code as I have in the displayed block to make it easier to read and match open and closing table entities.   Then try to figure out where each should be closed.  I suspect the last three do nothing as well.  The first three should be closed in reverse order where the last three are. And the third set or block could probably be eliminated, all together.
