I did mine an easyer way (find this out by looking around the template mod. forum

) and here's how I did mine (2 different ways)....for the buttons (I used this on 2 template sets), I just added the following to the "phpinclude" template:
PHP Code:
if ($bbuserinfo['userid']<"1") {
$regcp = "<a href=\"register.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=signup\"><img src=\"{imagesfolder }/top_register.gif\" alt=\"Registration is free!\" border=\"0\"></a>";
} else {
$regcp = "<a href=\"usercp.php?s=$session[sessionhash]\"><img src=\"{imagesfolder }/top_profile.gif\" alt=\"Here you can view your subscribed threads, work with private messages and edit your profile and preferences\" border=\"0\"></a>";
$vlogout = "<a href=\"member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&&action=logout\"><img src=\"{imagesfolder }/top_logout.gif\" alt=\"Log Out\" border=\"0\"></a>";
}
if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==6) {
$vadminbutton = "<a href=\"/admin/index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"{imagesfolder }/top_admin.gif\" alt=\"Go to your Admin Panel\" border=\"0\"></a>";
}
if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==7) {
$vmodbutton = "<a href=\"/mod/index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"{imagesfolder }/top_mod.gif\" alt=\"Go to your Mod Panel\" border=\"0\"></a>";
}
and then just replace <!-- toplinks --> down to <!-- /toplinks --> with:
Code:
<!-- toplinks -->
$vadminbutton
$vmodbutton
$regcp
<a href="calendar.php?s=$session[sessionhash]"><img src="{imagesfolder }/top_calendar.gif" alt="Calendar" border="0"></a>
<a href="memberlist.php?s=$session[sessionhash]"><img src="{imagesfolder }/top_members.gif" alt="Find other members" border="0"></a>
<a href="misc.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=faq"><img src="{imagesfolder }/top_faq.gif" alt="Frequently Asked Questions" border="0"></a>
<a href="search.php?s=$session[sessionhash]"><img src="{imagesfolder }/top_search.gif" alt="Search" border="0"></a>
<a href="index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]"><img src="{imagesfolder }/top_home.gif" alt="Home" border="0"></a>
$vlogout
<!-- /toplinks -->
(make sure you remove the spaces between from
{imagesfolder and
})
or you can put this in the "phpinclude" template:
PHP Code:
//Administrative/Moderator Login
if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6) { //Admins
$adminlogin = "<a href=\"admin/index.php\">Administrative Login</a><br>";
} elseif (($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==5) or ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==7)) { //Mods
$adminlogin = "<a href=\"mod/index.php\">Moderator Login</a><br>";
} else { //Everyone else
$adminlogin = "";
}
//End Login Code
then just add
$adminlogin anywhere in the footer template..and remember, you can always play around with the code
