I need help doing something





you see where it says, show todays birthdays, I would like it to say " show Staff " instead, how can I do this.

Hi Matt, try this:

Go to your members list and in the drop down select staff. Copy the url in your address bar and go to your home template and find this line...


<tr><td>$[birthdays_today_link]</td></tr>

You will replace the bolded part with the address to staff so it will look like this but with your address:

<tr><td><a href="http://abetteramerica.freeforums.net/members?dir=asc&sort=name&view=staff">View Staff</a></td></tr>

You could keep the birthdays too but just add a new line for the staff so it would be like this:

<tr><td>$[birthdays_today_link]</td></tr>

<tr><td><a href="http://abetteramerica.freeforums.net/members?dir=asc&sort=name&view=staff">View Staff</a></td></tr>

Tumbleweed it does not work, this is what happens

I circled the thing it did, And I do not know why it is doing that instead of adding the link like it should.

It looks to me like you put it in the wrong place and didn't put the <a href=" and </a> around it.
This whole line ....

<a href="abetteramerica.freeforums.net/members?dir=asc&sort=name&view=staff">View Staff</a>


...needs to replace this....  $[birthdays_today_link] and then you add your link where the blue is.

OR if you want to keep the birthdays you just need to add this (with your link in it where I have the blue)....


<tr><td><a href="abetteramerica.freeforums.net/members?dir=asc&sort=name&view=staff">View Staff</a></td></tr>


...below this ....

<tr><td>$[birthdays_today_link]</td></tr>

Try again and maybe I explained it a bet better this time.

Tumbleweed

go to my page at gameslounge.proboards.com

and go click on the view staff link at the bottom.

it shows the " view staff " but when I click on it it tells me it cannot find the page, I did everything as you instructed.

It's very easy to mess up code so totally understand. Glad you got it where you want it and working.
