Buttons

[pip_9]

Hi I have made some custom image buttons to replace the
"Register FAQ Members List Calendar Today's Posts Search"
text links but I was wondering how do I actually put them on the site. and make the buttons go to the right places?
Also how do you highlight the butons when the mouse it put over them?
Thanks a lot for the help

If you're not very familar with HTML, I recommend you learn the basics:
http://www.w3schools.com/xhtml/

The buttons are images, and if they hold the same filename as the original vB buttons, you just have to upload the images to the server (overwriting the previous buttons).

If they have different names, you'll need to edit the templates in the Admin CP finding the <img /> tag of the original buttons, and changing the path.

You cannot "highlight" buttons that are images upon hover (well, maybe with some very fancy CSS trick..). If the buttons are non-images, i.e. <input type="button" />, you can use Javascript to change button properties.

e.g.

<input type="submit" value="Click Me" onmouseover="this.style.background='#452456'" />

(I think that would do something, I don't often mess with mouseover's on buttons)

Hi,
I know html but the problem is there are not any exsiting buttons there is just text so where do I add the html to make the buttons show up instead of the text?

If you did a normal vBulletin installation, there shouldn't be text buttons.

Unless of course those are dead images, and your browser is properly showing the "Alt" text.

The template you need to refer to is postbit (or postbit_legacy, if you use classic style) template.
