Title: Best way to link to store?
Post by: Paranoimia on August 23, 2007, 11:31:03 PM
Hi all!

I've set up an Amazon.co.uk aStore and integrated it into my site. But as I'm a new TP user, and still getting to grips with the software, I'm wondering what's the best way to link to the store?

Currently, it's a standard Article, which simply contains the iframe code supplied by Amazon, and it's currently only linked to using the 'Recent Articles' tpmodule. This will obviously disappear as more articles are added.

Is the best way to link simply to set up a menu button linked to the page? Or have I gone about this in totally the wrong way?

If you want to see the current situation, you can find it at: http://vongnation.co.uk/index.php?page=12

Any advice much appreciated. :)

Menu buttons are easy to add to your navigation/link bar, you can find tips on how to add them in most of the theme boards and for the SMF default theme a quick search on SMF will give you the full directions for adding buttons.

Also, some TP themes will have a built in function for adding buttons, just check 'current theme' for the one you are using to see if its there.

If you look at the BlocZone left sidebar you will see a block titled links. It is just an html/bbc block with a graphic and a link. The link can be to another site or to an article.

You'll need to put something like this in the block.

<div align="center"><a href="http://vongnation.co.uk/index.php?page=12"><img src="http://vongnation.co.uk/graphics/Vong Nation Store.gif"/></a></div>
