Buttons

Hey,how about a button to take you to the MREinfo page. You have a button under the big MRE info script that comes back to the forums and the script under the time does the same thing.

Hi 223. Great suggestion! I just wish I could figure out how to make it work. There doesn't seem to be an easy built-in way of setting this up and since I'm fairly new to PHP, I haven't been able to rig something up manually.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them!

Email Rock at rock@25thlid.net he will take care of you, tell him DIRTYDAVE sent you. He fixes all the problems I cannot handle with the OMEGA MEN SQUAD site and is quick!

I take it Rock told you to go "F" yourself?

To get a simple button, copy the following HTML code and paste it where you want the button to appear:

<a href="http://www.mreinfo.com" target="0"><img src="http://www.mreinfo.com/images/head-mreinfo.gif" alt="Click to go to MRE Info!" width="275" height="60" border="0"></a>

The image is the same one at the top of the home page.

(Now, how could I have put that in this message forum box using HTML?)

Thanks for the hint, CaptBob. I realize I'm a little late responding seeing as I already got the problem fixed, but I thought I'd chime in with a little more information.

You see, adding a link like that is a little more difficult than a regular "a href" tag because of the way these forums are run off of PHP and all the info is stored in a MySQL database. There are a bunch of .php and .html files that get called when you click on a link and I was having a tough time finding out where exactly I needed to add the right tag. In the end, it turned out to be the index page under the particular template I had chosen for the site.

But thanks for the suggestion!

Ok, after adding the buttons, don't forget the zipper!

Regaring the HTML code for the button...

I was thinking that if anyone wants to put a link to this site on their webpage, that would do it as well!

Ah...I see what you're saying. Yep - that would do the trick!
