Well it worked somewhat. I had to hardcode the URL's to make it work in VBAdvanced, even after adding the files names in the global advance settings in the admin panel. I noticed too that the logout URL already in the XML file worked fine, inserting the /forums/ in the footer while in the VBA front page, but the other three links already included did not, so I got brave, edited the XML file, entered the full URL's there, it worked. Then I got brave again, played with the tables and now I have an area to sell text links, check it out, http://www.shotcritic.com.

Here's what I edited in the XML file:

Change this:

Code:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

<thead>

<tr>

  <td class="tcat" align="$stylevar[left]" width="50%">New to ShotCritic Photography Forums?</td>

  <td class="tcat" align="$stylevar[left]" width="50%">Need Help in our Digital Photography Community?</td>

</tr>

</thead>

<tbody>

<tr>

  <td class="alt1" align="$stylevar[left]" valign="top">

    <ul>

      <if condition="$show['guest']">

      <li><a href="register.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[register_to_participate]</a></li>

      </if>

      <if condition="$vboptions['forumleaders']">

      <li><a href="http://www.shotcritic.com/forums/showgroups.php$session[sessionurl_q]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[view_forum_leaders]</a></li>

      </if>

      $template_hook[footer_info_left]

      <li><a href="$vboptions[contactuslink]">$vbphrase[contact_us]</a></li>     

    </ul>

    </td>

    <td class="alt1" align="$stylevar[left]" valign="top">

    <ul>

      <if condition="$show['guest']">

      <li><a href="login.php?$session[sessionurl]do=lostpw">$vbphrase[did_you_forget_your_password]</a></li>

      </if>

      $template_hook[footer_info_right]

      <if condition="$show['member']">

Works great, though I had to re-enter the new links in the plugin management when I re-uploaded the XML file, thanks, rg sends!

MissKalunji · #47 03-14-2008, 01:46 PM

yeah Cool

u didn't have to use the plugins it had the templates that u could have used.

Glad it worked out for you i did forget to tell you about the urls

heeroyun · #48 03-14-2008, 05:29 PM

Exactly what template to edit to add additional links ?

MissKalunji · #49 03-14-2008, 05:40 PM

in the footer

heeroyun · #50 03-14-2008, 05:47 PM

I don't see anything there :/

MissKalunji · #51 03-14-2008, 06:00 PM

if u used the plugin

look for this template : gtfooter_panel

If u did the manual edit then it would have been footer

My bad
