Navigation buttons Help

Post by Picasso04 »

I finally figured out how to get my webpage to look halfway decent and now my comics will show up on it. But you have to get to the previous strips on the calendar links. My navigation buttons worked on my plain page. What am I missing on my new page? The buttons show up, but they don't do anything. :(

That's a tad anomalous. Are you using the ***first_day*** ***previous_day*** ***next_day*** ***last_day*** navigation button tags?

You have to post a link to your strip when you ask for help, Picasso! I have it bookmarked, fortunately:

Actually, he has his site linked via his profile, meaning you can reach it by clicking the little Image below his post. Just for future reference. :wink:

That is so funny! JTorch made a similar comment to me on a couple of forums. Jeez, I'm cursed! Thanks for having my back tho. But its all love my comickers, its all love.

Ok, I have the names of my buttons as first_day, previous_day etc, but as for the actual tags w/ the ***'s, I do not. How do I make those images of my buttons go to ***first_day*** etc?

Just put the ***first_day*** ***previous_day*** ***next_day*** ***last_day*** tags where you want them to appear in your indextemplate and upload it to /workspace. You already seem to have your button images named correctly and in the right folder, so they should appear automatically.

Ok cool! I'll try it. So do I leave the dailytemplate page with the buttons on it? And the indextemplate wih the keentags in that place?

That goes for whatever template that has the buttons on it.

You do not put the image tag for the buttons anywhere in your code. Where you have your image tags, take them out and replace them with the appropriate keentags. The link and button will be where you have the tags.

For example, ***first_day*** in your code will be automatically replaced with both the link to the first day strip AND the image for your button.

Ah hah! Thank you so much. This thing is coming together, I'm loving it. I am starting to get hooked on this thing like myspace or something. Next I will add a links page soon.
