Align Image Right
If you want to align the image on the right then use the following code, and not the above.
Right-Aligned Image (requires a new PNG image) code:
<div style="position: fixed; bottom: 0px; right: 0px; width: 150px; height: 150px;">
<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/arcade_link.png" width="150" height="150" border="0" usemap="#arcadelink" alt="Arcade" />
<map name="arcadelink">
<area shape="poly" coords="150,0,150,150,0,150,150,0" href="{vb:raw vboptions.homeurl}/arcade.php" target="_self" />
</map>
</div> Coding:
We grant you permission to re-use the code from this modification for creation
of other modifications. It is very simple code, and does not take much to change
it to suit different size images, obviously changing the mapping to suit.

You can view other examples of this code used on our website, for right alignment
of bottom images. Feel free to use this code in other products.

very nice...thanks

Looks brilliant, tagged. Will install later :)

[syrus.xl]

You're welcome! It's only a very simple mod, and the coding could be easily changed for something else.

I thought of this because our navbar was becoming too full, and we have a lot of visitors from gaming websites (long story) - so this just makes it easier for them to find our arcade.

Simple but just Great

Thank you

If anyone wants the coding for a right-aligned version, just ask - it only requires a few minor code changes.

Yes, you could. Just change the url that currently points to the arcade.php file. I'm not sure of the file name for use on the v3Arcade.

How can I change the link. My link is: http://www.rwf-forum.co.uk/vBulletin/arcade.php

Hi blue6995,

Here you go.. just a hard coded link instead of using vb tags. Just copy and paste this code in your footer!

Regards,

<div style="position: fixed; bottom: 0px; left: 0px; width: 150px; height: 150px;">
<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/arcade_link.png" width="150" height="150" border="0" usemap="#arcadelink" alt="Click for Access" />
<map name="arcadelink">
<area shape="poly" coords="0,0,0,150,150,150" href="http://www.rwf-forum.co.uk/vBulletin/arcade.php" target="_self" />
</map>
</div>

If I was to put something like this down the left hand side of my page how would I do it? So instead of having it in the header corner or footer corner, it is down the middle of the left hand side?

This would need more coding done to achieve. Basically, you would need to define a div and place the code directly after the <body> tag, then setup your additional CSS for the div itself.

I will put a simple example together so you can see how it's done.

Is it possible to just add this to the forum home page and not every page?

[x626xblack]

Thinking outside of the box..

Arcade widget for CMS? Less clutter and no templates to revert at upgrade time.

[patrick91]

Nice idea this! maybe is it possible to make a sort of slider of it for different links/images on clicking base.

I will install this very soon rated 5 stars!

Hi,

Simple to do... Here's the code you would need, obviously you would need to change the image, so it looks okay on the right.
<div style="position: fixed; bottom: 0px; right: 0px; width: 150px; height: 150px;">
<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/arcade_link.png" width="150" height="150" border="0" usemap="#arcadelink" alt="Arcade" />
<map name="arcadelink">
<area shape="poly" coords="150,0,150,150,0,150,150,0" href="{vb:raw vboptions.homeurl}/arcade.php" target="_self" />
</map>
</div>
I will update the main post to allow for a right aligned image. :)

Regards,

[patrick91]

That looks pretty cool... nice combination! :)

[syrus.xl]

Yes, just edit the FORUMHOME template and place the code after the following line:
{vb:raw footer}

Thanks *installed*

Thx m8...very nice indeed

tagged, this is amazing thanks. i guess we could use for v3arcade to?

Yes, you could. Just change the url that currently points to the arcade.php file. I'm not sure of the file name for use on the v3Arcade.
Both systems use "arcade.php" for their main page so it'll work just fine with either one. :)

[goxy63]

Is it just me or.....
Right-Aligned Image, when code is placed in same style as left one right image is not clickable on whole areabut just half of it.

Anyone have idea why and howto resolve that?

Hi goxy63,

You need to change the code slightly of you are using left and right aligned images, check out this post for the code I redone.
