Hyper-Link - Strange Blue Square Symbol after Upgrade
« on: October 20, 2013, 10:12:59 pm »

Just completed an upgrade from v1.4.10 to v1.5.24.

On my homepage previously I had a hyperlink on one of the categories, which displayed correctly on version 1.4.  However, on version 1.5 there is a small blue square at the end of the hyperlink (see pic).

Any idea what is causing this? and can it be removed?

That icon is added to all external links, i.e. all links with the CSS class "external".

Thanks for the information. This symbol did not appear on my old gallery 1.4. Is there a way to remove the symbol? It's not a major problem, just looks odd.

Remove the icon from the external class in your theme's style.css file.

Thanks. I have had a look at the theme (curve) style.css file. But I cannot find any reference to this icon. Please could you inform me where this is located on the style.css file? perhaps the line number?

Thanks

It is very simple to locate any items css using the excellent Firebug extension for Firefox. With this you can simply click on any item and see the exact css that controls it along with the file and line it is in.

This is the code found at line 944

Code: [Select]
.external {
    background: transparent url('../../images/link.gif') 100% 50% no-repeat;
    padding-right: 10px;
}

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

So how do I delete the icon from the style.css file?
Is it just a matter of removing "../../images/link.gif"?
