aterad Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Hello All, Having edited one of php files in a php based open source software, the entire software becomes blur and unclickable. Please what can be done to make it clickable after editing. Below is the codes as attached Thanks </div> </div> <div id="footer"> <div class="jumbotron push-spaces"> <strong><?php echo $this->lang->line('common_you_are_using_ospos'); ?> <?php echo $this->config->item('application_version'); ?> - <?php echo substr('$Id: 4f5ad5761503bbc94152cbf16afa76439ca155b8 $', 5, 7); ?></strong>. <?php echo $this->lang->line('common_please_visit_my'); ?> <a href="https://github.com/jekkos/opensourcepos" target="_blank"><?php echo $this->lang->line('common_website'); ?></a> <?php echo $this->lang->line('common_learn_about_project'); ?> </div> </div> </body> </html> footer.php Edited April 24, 2017 by requinix because nobody checks attachments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 What did you change? Are you allowed to change it? "Blurry and unclickable" meaning what, exactly? And for future reference, don't use attachments for code. Just put it right into the post using [code] tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aterad Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 @requinix,thanks for your response and sorry for my belated reply. as regard the questions you asked if am allowed to change it. YES, i am allowed to change it, its an open source software without any restriction to code tweaking. what i changed was this line <a href="https://github.com/jekkos/opensourcepos" target="_blank"><?php echo $this->lang->line('common_website'); ?></a> Thus when it is changed to another link and the entire code is loaded, it then becomes blur and unclickeable. Please help out. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginerjm Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I'll bite and re-ask this question. What does 'blur and unclickable' mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 That looks the same as the original too. What's a detailed description of what you changed? What and how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
