Odd question about buttons.

[nekobot]

Is there a way to create a new button so that.. any links to mediafire get targetted and turned automatically to a "DOWNLOAD" button? Maybe even limit it to a specific board?
My end goal is to hopefully be able to replace the link in "Download link" with a button. 

Not sure if I should post this in todge's gallery thread, but i figured since it could pertain to more than just their plugin it would be okay here? Sorry! I would very much appreciate help with this.

If you have a guest-friendly link to a thread which has mediafire links on, I can have a poke around with Inspect Elements and see if I can style the link
I'm thinking making the link a block element, setting padding to make it button sized, then adding a border and background colour.

I'd also like it to be able to play well with the gallery plugin since that's what i'd need it for. Thank you for your help!!

were you ever able to figure this out?

I wasn't, unfortunately I thought the Download Link text and the link itself would be part of the same element, or have its own class, so I could target that class with a CSS style rule. I can probably do it with JQuery, looking for links with "mediafire" in the url and basing the rule off that. I'm having a play about at the moment with something similar on my own site, so I'll keep you posted.
In the meantime if anyone else wants to chime in, please do!

Are you guys talking about changing this....

Download Link: download1852.mediafire.com/7r6nqhftpwhg/gp5ch3istj6ot67/OdetteV.1CVartupdate.zip

...into a clickable button link instead of text or am I not understanding? Since Azayles is kind of working on this, I won't set aside time to work on it myself but if I know clearly what is being asked, my brain likes to churn it around for solutions, even if I'm not actively trying to figure it out. LOL, I'm weird that way.

We can both work on it, it'll be fun!  I love me a good head-scratcher. Also I'm not devoting as much of my time as I'd like to to the task, so the more brains we chuck at this the better, I reckon.
But yes, if I comprestand correctly, nekobot wants the link portion of that text turned into a button. Normally a very easy task, but it's to target ONLY mediafire links. Hence the head-scratching

Great minds, and all that jazz

Yep! I'd like the link turned into a button, if possible. Thank you both for helping with this! You guys are great!

Something like this in your Global Footer should do the trick..

<script type="text/javascript">
   $(document).ready(function(){
       
       var messageCells = $('.message');
       
       $(messageCells).each(function(){
           $(this).find("[href*='mediafire']").addClass('button').html('Download');
       });
   
   });
</script>

Todge, you're amaze I thought it might be a jQuery function like that, 'cause that's what I use on my forum for converting social media links to icons.
Come to think of it, I don't know why I didn't about that!

[Todge]

No worries..

[nekobot]

If I post it in my Gallery's footer will it apply only to that category?

[Todge]

Yup, It should do.

[nekobot]

Thank you so much!! It works great!
