Hello ChuckleHead Needs a helping hand...Iwas wondering if it would be able to get a botton created for you PowerMetal theme for the Blog Mod. It is missing in forum posts...I even tried to upload one of my own to use temporarily to have a button there at the least. Where can i find the place in the code to replace the link to the image so I can get it to show up? any help would be great. Thx in advance.

~ Did the Blog Mod provide any code to add to the theme.cfg file to reference the image?
~ Can you provide a link to the Blog Mod so I can check out the code, please.
~ I'll see what I can do regarding an image for it. I do believe I provided blank buttons in the image folder though in case anyone needed to create their own buttons.

And i couldn't recoginze the font to even have one of my friends help me out with the button....I apologize...... <img>

~ Will this button do?
~ After looking at the MOD, I realized you'll need to rename the button to icon_weblog.gif. Sorry I didn't realize that until uploading it myself.
~ Also, you want to make sure you upload it to images/lang_english

~ Make sure this is done also...
Open
PowerMetal.cfgFind:
- Code: Select all
$images['icon_icq'] = "$current_template_images/lang_english/icon_icq_add.gif" width="$topic_iw" height="$topic_ih" class="imgtopic";
After, Add
- Code: Select all
$images['icon_weblog'] = "$current_template_images/lang_english/icon_weblog.gif" width="$topic_iw" height="$topic_ih" class="imgtopic";
~ Make sure you have changed the name of the image to
icon_weblog.gif also

My .cfg differs from yours....Mine reads
- Code: Select all
$images['icon_icq'] = "$current_template_images/{LANG}/icon_icq_add.gif";
And not
- Code: Select all
$images['icon_icq'] = "$current_template_images/lang_english/icon_icq_add.gif" width="$topic_iw" height="$topic_ih" class="imgtopic";
I added the line
- Code: Select all
$images['icon_weblog'] = "$current_template_images/lang_english/icon_weblog.gif" width="$topic_iw" height="$topic_ih" class="imgtopic";
after the line
- Code: Select all
$images['icon_icq'] = "$current_template_images/{LANG}/icon_icq_add.gif";
and still no go. Now the blank picture is missing no blank spot this time, but a . between email and album....Am I using an out of date PowerMetal?

the problem is that powermetal was made for 132 which did not require the size references to display correctly in IE. I have not looked at powermetal.cfg, but it may need to be completely updated. In IE do you have any other images that look like " . " ?
for now try replacing
$images['icon_weblog'] = "$current_template_images/lang_english/icon_weblog.gif" width="$topic_iw" height="$topic_ih" class="imgtopic";
with this
$images['icon_weblog'] = "$current_template_images/lang_english/icon_weblog.gif";

~ I am currently working on an updated version from scratch but am waiting on an updated IntegraMOD beta release to release it.
~ Until then, Helter's solution should work.
