How do I a help button to the Menu

[Chrisbyrnes]

Hi Chuck

How do I add a HELP button ont he main menu. I have looked at all the obvious templates and cannot see anything. I have created a help.php file and have placed that in the main directory. Now I need to add the HELP button to the main menu and link it. Any suggesitions owld be appreciated.

You can edit the menubar template within ADMIN => EDIT TEMPLATES and place an html link in the menubar of your choosing

<a href="http://www.domain.com/help.php">Help</a>

Thanks I have it on the page and working, but the HELP is in blue and appears above the main menu page so it's hard to see. I'd like to place the HELP(in white) within the menu bar to the right of My Ads · My Watch List .

Here is what my menu bar code looks like at the moment

<?php
echo <<<PPPRINT
$ppopen
<tr>
<td class="{$Style['menubar']}" width="100%" colspan="2">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td class="{$Style['menubarnb']}" width="50%" align="left" valign="middle">
&nbsp;$menu2
</td>
<td class="{$Style['menubarnb']}" width="50%" align="right"valign="middle">
$menu&nbsp;
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<a href="http://www.1047.ca/help.htm">Help</a>
$ppclose<br />
PPPRINT;
?>

Thats because you have it outside the html table use this instead

Thanks Chuck. That worked perfectly. Being able to provide users some basic instructions should cut down on the potential problems first time users or those who are not familair with this type of software.

It is possible to modify the register fields to ask for additional information beyond the username, password and email address? But I don't want to confuse them with additional fields such as home page. ICQ number and biography. Is it therefore possible to modify some of the "Optional Text fields" and if so where do I find them.

Once gathered can I access this information insude your program or via other software? My goal is to be able to email a birthday greeting to those on thier birthday or send a targeted email based on age, city or Postal code.

You can modify the language strings for additional fields if you wish to use them for other things but to add new things would require code modification and this is not covered in product support. You are free to post in THE MOD CORNER on discussions outside the support of the default code.
