Title: Adding HTML tags to the gallery
Post by: Lisa (Loving Lynam) on December 16, 2003, 03:40:44 pm

I dont know how to word this, but here goes...
my gallery is http://www.lovinglynam.com/galleryI added the back button to the end of my script and this is how it turned out. I want to know how do I get it to appear beside where it says 'Lisas Lynam Gallery' instead of on top..because it looks stupid to me! Thanks for any help!

hm,

the style of the button has nothing to do with coppermine, so consider these hints just as some sort of smart-a** comments:

have the border attribute in <img> tags always set, and always set to zero (something like <img src="foo.bar" border="0">)
if you build your own buttons, always think first what color the background will be, and always use anti-aliasing
if you use buttons "borrowed" from somewhere else, make sure they work on your background - the button you chose has ugly white dots on its borders
don't use animated buttons, especially not flashing ones - they suck[/list:u]Back to your issue: you can integrate your "back"-link into the coppermine nav: edit /themes/yourtheme/theme.php (I guess you're using hardwired, so that's what below code works for) and look for
Code: [Select]
Add after it (starting with a new line) something like
Code: [Select]
<td><img name="spacer" src="images/spacer.gif" width="5" height="25" border="0" id="spacer" alt="" /></td> <td><img name="buttonleftout" src="themes/hardwired/images/buttonleftout.gif" width="17" height="25" border="0" id="buttonleftout" alt="" /></td> <td background="themes/hardwired/images/buttoncenter.gif"> <a href="/">Home</a> </td> <td><img name="buttonright" src="themes/hardwired/images/buttonright.gif" width="7" height="25" border="0" id="buttonright" alt="" /></td>GauGau
