[SOLVED] Need help with a button in the PowerMetal Theme

[DjPorkchop]

Hello ChuckleHead Needs a helping hand...Iwas wondering if it would be able to get a botton created for you PowerMetal theme for the Blog Mod. It is missing in forum posts...I even tried to upload one of my own to use temporarily to have a button there at the least. Where can i find the place in the code to replace the link to the image so I can get it to show up? any help would be great. Thx in advance.

~ Did the Blog Mod provide any code to add to the theme.cfg file to reference the image?

~ Can you provide a link to the Blog Mod so I can check out the code, please.

~ I'll see what I can do regarding an image for it. I do believe I provided blank buttons in the image folder though in case anyone needed to create their own buttons.

Thx for getting back to me chucklehead. The link I have for the blog mod is http://www.dragonsys.org/portal/dload.p ... &file_id=5 I think it has updated once since then..Im not to sure...You did provide a blank button and I felt like a fool for posting this but Graphics isn't my strong point. And i couldn't recoginze the font to even have one of my friends help me out with the button....I apologize...... <img>

~ Will this button do?

~ After looking at the MOD, I realized you'll need to rename the button to icon_weblog.gif. Sorry I didn't realize that until uploading it myself.

~ Also, you want to make sure you upload it to images/lang_english

Thankyou so much Chucklehead

~ Make sure this is done also...

Open PowerMetal.cfg
Find:

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

$images['icon_icq'] = "$current_template_images/lang_english/icon_icq_add.gif" width="$topic_iw" height="$topic_ih" class="imgtopic";

After, Add

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

$images['icon_weblog'] = "$current_template_images/lang_english/icon_weblog.gif" width="$topic_iw" height="$topic_ih" class="imgtopic";

~ Make sure you have changed the name of the image to icon_weblog.gif also

My .cfg differs from yours....Mine reads

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

$images['icon_icq'] = "$current_template_images/{LANG}/icon_icq_add.gif";

And not

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

$images['icon_icq'] = "$current_template_images/lang_english/icon_icq_add.gif" width="$topic_iw" height="$topic_ih" class="imgtopic";

I added the line

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

$images['icon_weblog'] = "$current_template_images/lang_english/icon_weblog.gif" width="$topic_iw" height="$topic_ih" class="imgtopic";

after the line

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

$images['icon_icq'] = "$current_template_images/{LANG}/icon_icq_add.gif";

and still no go. Now the blank picture is missing no blank spot this time, but a . between email and album....Am I using an out of date PowerMetal?

[Helter]

the problem is that powermetal was made for 132 which did not require the size references to display correctly in IE. I have not looked at powermetal.cfg, but it may need to be completely updated. In IE do you have any other images that look like " . " ?

for now try replacing

$images['icon_weblog'] = "$current_template_images/lang_english/icon_weblog.gif" width="$topic_iw" height="$topic_ih" class="imgtopic";

with this

$images['icon_weblog'] = "$current_template_images/lang_english/icon_weblog.gif";

In IE or FireFox, I dont have any other errors related to this topic. It now shows up with the lates edit that you recommended AND it was missing in the public profile section as well and is now there.....Thx Helterskelter for the edit and Chucklehead for the .gif Have a nice day.......Ray <img>

~ I am currently working on an updated version from scratch but am waiting on an updated IntegraMOD beta release to release it.

~ Until then, Helter's solution should work.

[DjPorkchop]
