How to Have a vote Button On The Rankings Page.

[pauline]

Hi All,

I'm normally asking for help but this time I have a tip for the non techy minded like me.

I wanted a vote button on my rankings page but had no idea how to do it. So I improvised instead of moving the vote button I just changed the stats.png to my own . I made my own image with the word vote under it and then named it vote3.png just changed the stats.png to vote3.png in skins/parabola/table_top_row.html and skins/parabola/table_top_row_premium.html. It will leave you with the word stats under the vote button but I don't think it looks out of place.


I hope this helps someone. I'm not good with code so I found this the easiest way to do what I wanted. I hope no-one minds me posting this I just thought it might be of some help to others.

Oops forgot to mention upload the image to public_html/skins/parabola

No matter how small a piece of info might be, its more than welcome

You might also want to post how you modified the link url for the button to make this piece of info more complete

You can also use the code below, and add it to the files:
skins/parabola/table_top_row.html and
skins/parabola/table_top_row_premium.html

<img src="URL for the image" /><a href="{$list_url}/index.php?a=in&u={$username}" rel="nofollow""></a></img>

But great.

Hi All,

I did try that code first as I seen it in another post but it wouldn't work for me, I played around a bit and couldn't get it to work. I'm so not techy minded I've found over that last 10 years I've had to improvise often I have a small understanding of how things work but not to the extent I can change code. I didn't change any URL I just changed the image from stats.png to vote3.png in skins/parabola/table_top_row.html and skins/parabola/table_top_row_premium.html. and it clicks through to the stats page where they can vote. I suppose I didn't really add a vote button just a vote image to direct voters to the vote page...my bad I wasn't clear about that.
