angelcool Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 This sounds linke HTML only, in other words no need for PHP here. If the button's only function is to link to another place, no need for PHP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildteen88 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Most forums break the layout of the site into smaller files called templates which normally contains just HTML/CSS along with some basic PHP code. If you tell us what forum your running we may be able to tell which if these template files you'll need to modify. Also what do you want to happen when you click your button?

dmac Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Powered by phpBB 2.0.22 When the button is clicked i just want it to act as a link to another section called The Garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npsari Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Why not position it using div? But make sure that the page does not change shape, otherwise, the button will be on the top of other things So, here is what i mean <div style="position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;">BUTTON_GOES_HERE</div> Simply put the button HTML where is says BUTTON_GOES_HERE To control the position of the button, simply play with the numbers which are currently set to 0 & 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmac Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 Could you suggest the file i have to access to make this change I was in the index.php file but it was a mess and im not sure where to find that info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
