Stupid Question Warning

[cookiegirlie]

I can't seem to find any mention of adding a button/link under the component boxes in the tutorials.

Am I not looking in the right part of the tutorials? Or using the wrong term? Could someone please shove me in the right direction?

Thanks.

~edit~
I was hoping for this ~>

You mean at the *very* bottom of your components? Or just under any component?

The easiest way to do it, either way, is to edit a component, and just add whatever goes beneath the component after "print_comp_footer();"

For instance:

function print_profile(Page p) {

print_comp_header($*profile_text);
"""""";
if (defined $p.journal.default_pic) {
"""

Yes, at the very bottom... under all the other stuff.

Thank you.

Was I looking for the wrong thing? I really am trying to understand, but I'm not much of a geekgrrl.

If you want it beneath your components, simply do what I recommended above underneath the LAST component displayed on your page.

If you want it at the very bottom of your entire page, you'll have to edit the page_layout function, which is much more complicated.

question for you.. can you give me the code that you used to put your header on the top? Thanks..

I just noticed the thanks... well... you're welcome! Also, kunzite1 posted in my community (ljstyleoverride) a few days ago a very helpful comment. Change any instance of the following URLs in your S2 code to the system variables that represent them. It makes your layer smaller and makes the code transferrable to other sites like Deadjournal:

Copied without end-slashes from an uber-helpful comment from kunzite1:

http://stat.livejournal.com/palimg -> $*PALIMGROOT
http://stat.livejournal.com/img -> $*IMGDIR
http://www.livejournal.com -> $*SITEROOT

That is, http://www.livejournal.com/update.bml would become $*SITEROOT/update.bml. Remember to include the forward slashes after the variable name as usual to indicate any subfolders.

Oh my gosh.

Thank you so much, sweetie. If I can wrap my small non-geek brain around that, I'll give it a go.
