Guest Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Hello After speaking to my host - he upgraded the Fantastico and now i was able to install Viper Guestbook - now that i have it - was wondering how i link my homepage to the guestbook? do i need a button? or a new box? http://www.mia-g.com.au/gbook Thanks Antz Quote
roban Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Why not create a new box with the link code inside. You can title the box 'sign my guestbook' Clever huh? Here's a new box code because I'm anticipating your next question: <div class="boxTitleRight">Guest Book</div> <div class="boxContentLeft"> <a href="http://www.mia-g.com.au/gbook">Click to Sign My Guest Book</a> <border="0" > </div> <div class="boxFootRight"> </div> Quote
Guest Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 I bet you didn't think this would be the next question,,,, ummm, what do i save the file as? txt, pearl script etc? Why not create a new box with the link code inside. You can title the box 'sign my guestbook' Clever huh? Here's a new box code because I'm anticipating your next question: <div class="boxTitleRight">Guest Book</div> <div class="boxContentLeft"> <a href="http://www.mia-g.com.au/gbook">Click to Sign My Guest Book</a> <border="0" > </div> <div class="boxFootRight"> </div> Quote
roban Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Good grief antz you don't save it at all. You paste it in your index.tpl file wherever you want the box to appear. Quote
Guest Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Give me a break Roban ! i'm a stay-at home mum with a 1 year old hanging off my leg whilst i do this and try to learn!.... also went to bed at 4am and got up at 6am! Thanks for the info - it worked a treat! Good grief antz you don't save it at all. You paste it in your index.tpl file wherever you want the box to appear. Now... what happens if i want this to be a button instead of a link? Give me a break Roban ! i'm a stay-at home mum with a 1 year old hanging off my leg whilst i do this and try to learn!.... also went to bed at 4am and got up at 6am!

Guest Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Any ideas on how to change the text link from times? and/or convert to a button? pretty plssssss with sugar on top!

roban Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 You can always insert a button image and link to it. The code would look something like: <a href="http://www.mia-g.com.au/gbook"><img src=here you put the link to your image for example:"http://www.mia-g-.com/button.gif"></a> Quote
Guest Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 I don't know if i'm tired or just plain stupid - but where does that code go? in index.tpl or styles.css? Thanks Antz You can always insert a button image and link to it.

roban Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 That would replace the code in your new box. You'd have to create the button image, upload it to your server and then link to it. The code I posted is only an example. <div class="boxTitleRight">Guest Book</div> <div class="boxContentLeft"> <a href="http://www.mia-g.com.au/gbook"><img src=here you put the link to your image for example:"http://www.mia-g-.com/button.gif"></a> <border="0" > </div> <div class="boxFootRight"> </div> Quote
Guest Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Hello Thanks for clearing that up; this is what i've done <div class="boxTitleRight">Guest Book</div> <div class="boxContentLeft"> <a href="http://www.mia-g.com.au/gbook"><img src=http://www.mia-g.com.au/skins/Classic/styleImages/cc01in.gif"></a> <border="0" > </div> <div class="boxFootRight"> </div> Except i have a blank button! What dah? Please let me know what i've done wrong! Thanks Antz That would replace the code in your new box. You'd have to create the button image, upload it to your server and then link to it.

Guest Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Hi Ok - i've managed to get it to work except for the fact that the button doesn't have the text..... i know its going to sound stupid but should i be including this in my gif? before i upload the button picture? Thanks AntzHello Thanks for clearing that up; this is what i've done <div class="boxTitleRight">Guest Book</div> <div class="boxContentLeft"> <a href="http://www.mia-g.com.au/gbook"><img src=http://www.mia-g.com.au/skins/Classic/styleImages/cc01in.gif"></a> <border="0" > </div> <div class="boxFootRight"> </div> Except i have a blank button!

roban Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 You have to make a button with text in it. Quote
Guest Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Ok - thanks will do now i have to find a way of those site docs on top to stand independently on its own from the site docs at the bottom; because i wish to add different titles with different context. Thanks Antz You have to make a button with text in it. Quote
