Is this what you're looking for?

[aztheg]

Is it possible to edit the default nav links? Those.. "First Comic" "Latest Comic"..

Thanks!

[Mr Aids]

Do you mean your menu or the comic navigation links on your comic pages?

And if it's the latter do you want to replace it with text or images?

uhmm.. the header menu.. no, just replace texts.. like.. "First Page/ Beginning" "Latest Page" something like that..

Thanks for the response!

[Mr Aids]

Alrighty, first go to your menu code.

You will probably find this:

Code: Select all

<ul>
<!-- BEGIN links -->
   <li><a href="{links.URL}">{links.TEXT}</a></li>
<!-- END links -->
</ul>

You will have to remove the <!-- BEGIN links --> and <!-- END links -->, and use the code for links provided there, put in manually every link you want in your menu. An example of this could look like:

Code: Select all

<ul>
<li><a href="www.yourcomic.smackjeeves.com">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="www.yourcomic.smackjeeves.com/comics">Latest Page</a></li>
<li><a href="www.yourcomic.smackjeeves.com/archive">Archive</a></li>
</ul>

That is not a complete menu, but you get the idea. Give us a yell if you're having any problems or if my explanation sucks.

ooh gotcha man! was lookin for the codes for the default link.. now i know that's it.. hehe..

Thanks sir! no prob.. gonna post here again if something went wrong.. thanks..

[Mr Aids]

Glad to help out.

[aztheg]

the link to latest comic is updating everytime you post a new page right? should I change the URL of the Latest Page everytime I post a new page?


Thanks again!

[Mr Aids]

Nah, the url for the latest page should be:

www.yourcomic.smackjeeves.com/comics/

That will take the reader to the latest comic.

Okay. So I made a background, but I have no idea how to put it on my site. I just want to make it the background of the format I already have, but keep it simple, because I'm computer retarded.

[Mr Aids]

I am assuming you have already uploaded a suitable background tile to an imagehost, and have grabbed the direct url.

Alrighty, go to your Overall Layout, find your CSS, and paste this underneath the stylesheet:

Code: Select all

body
{
font-family:Century Gothic, Arial, Georgia, Trebuchet MS;
padding:0;
margin:0;
background:url("") #ffffff;
}

Now paste the url between the empty background quotes, and you will have a repeating background, however this will eliminate the whole checker pattern at the top.

Tell me if you have any problems.

uhhmm.. any link of codes how to make a gallery or character page? like.. you will click a thumbnail then it will view the character.. uhmm.. with no tables.. simple centered thumbnails..

uhmm.. sample -> http://metalbreakdown.smackjeeves.com/fanart this is one of my fave.. or like this.. http://rfr.smackjeeves.com/characters/

thanks a bunch!

Upload a full version and a thumbnail version of all of your images to an imagehost, like http://imageshack.us or http://photobucket.com
Link each thumbnail to it's larger counterpart like so:

Code: Select all

<a href="LARGE URL"><img src="THUMB URL" alt="DESCRIPTION" /></a>

Now drop them inside this code

Code: Select all

<div align="center">

Links hereeeee

</a>

That should do it. It's not particularly glamorous coding, but I don't want to do a bunch of confusing directions when that'll do.
