site Menu block

[thefley]

Maybe someone can help me with a menu block,  how would I fix the one I have listed below. I do not want it to open up in new window (did not use the about blank) I would like it to open up in same window.  I could not find one to use with a search of the site excempt for drop down as I do not like those.
or if you know of a better script for me to use?

thx.

Use the menu manager in "Edit Blocks".. You can choose from there if you want it opened in the same window.

What about just :

Code Select Expand


<a href="YOUR WEBSITE URL">NAME OF YOUR LINK (Home, Forum,..)<br /></a>

(used in a scriptblock)
If you're using _blank somehow, change it to _self .

i need the one like you have on your site.. how did you do it?!

here is what im trying to do.. im posting here as my originial post was locked so i hope i can be helped here.. im a total noob trying extremely hard to get TP to do what its done for so many others and so far so good..

however im not getting much luck with my help on this topic...



this is my site www.orderofmiddleearth.com/brandywine

TinyPortal v1.0.5 beta 1© Bloc
Powered by SMF 1.1.4

if we goto this site... www.bladesofanarion.net you can see they have site menu buttons such as HOME FORUM CALENDAR LOGIN REGISTER.

I want to add this to my site just above where the articles/news are..... i think its the upper block it has to go in..

how can i do it.. the thread starter seems to have done it.. with help.. does it come with your specific theme or can i do it on my tolkien theme too..

can anyone tell me please

That is the main menu. Each theme comes with its own custom menu. With the tolkein theme, you see the menu in the upper right and it extends vertically, not horizontally. If you want to put an extra menu in your theme in a block, read up a bit on HTML.
Simply putting a link like this in a block would get you started.

<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/"><img src="path/to/home.gif" /></a>

You then create all your images to give you an image bar by repeating the above code changing the image and where it links to.

hi

you know this is all i wanted to know?  simply just giving me that code right at the beginning on my first ever post on this topic.. would have just helped me so much.  Instead i was just told you cant do this .. or you cant do that... it would have been so much easier to just say you cant do it there... but you can do this.

really.  Im sorry your patience with me ran out.. but i was not getting any positive help or advice...I stated so many times im just a total noob on this and i am trying my best to do it myself.

Now I thank you and i can work on my site.  Its not nice being a noob on this site.. i will state that.  I havnt really been made to feel welcome to ask questions.. im not sure if i will on this site.. unless i really need to now.

All we expect is that people follow the guidelines (which I haven't see you do very much of) and try to do things themselves. That is how we all got to where we are at. If you are wondering how to do simple things such as making a menu with links, you could have found help MUCH faster with a TON more options with a simple google search. We are here to support as much as we can concerning TinyPortal, but we are not here to show people how to make their sites and do it for them. Glad the links could help you get started.

hi

i agree.. to you it may seem very simple.  To me it isnt. I dont think i have done too bad anyhow with my site.. i did most of it myself.  and i have no html experience. at all

Hi

Im hoping this is the right place to continue this post.. rather then start a new one.

using tp 1.0.5
smf 1.1.4

I have this code.. i want it to appear in the top block of my site www.orderofmiddleearth.com/home (some people might be sick of this site by now lolol) Its to replace the current menu buttons i have there.

what would i use to display the buttons as they should appear?  html or scriptbox?
