Reciprocal Links

Hi Guys

I am still a newbie to VBulletin and want to install this Hack (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=125865), but the instructions are very scant and hard to understand. Could someone please throw me a life line starting with Step One? Thanks,

AO

Yeah, directios are poorly written.

Im guessing he is referring to disabling the forum jump menu

Yes he is talking about disabling the forum jump menu and then just editing a couple templates. That is all there is to it.

If you do exactly as the directions say you should not have any problems.

Just a couple more questions.

I can get the title sorted out easily, I have entitled it 'OzChess Endorsed Sites'. So no issues as per title. However, in the content part of the new little box, how do I type in web addresses, or more particularly link to certain sites?

For instance, lets say I want to link to this Forum. If I merely type 'VBulletin FAQ Forum' it would only be text, how can I make it a clickable web address?

And my second question is:

Can I create little horizontal lines like a chart between the different addresses, to help make it look neat and clean, and to give each site equal space?

Please ........ anybody ......... help ........... questions ............ needing answers ........... Please.............

Sorry dear, I have no idea how to use this hack. Very confusing to me.
Perhaps you should ask on the support thread for this hack? Other people who are using it would be better to ask.

You need to put the HTML in for a clickable link.

It will look like this:

<a href="http://www.vbulletin-faq.com/">vBulletin FAQ</a>

I put the colors in only to show you. The blue is where you want the user to go to when he clicks and the red is the text that will show on the page, which is called the Anchor Text.

Im not sure what your asking for exactly. Try putting <hr> where you want those lines and see if thats what you want.

Your a champion mate! If I ever go to Chicago, I am taking you for a beer, and maybe a Blackhawks game (if they still play)! Thanks for you help. Very much appreciated - you too Peggy (for trying). :)

Hey Joey,

Is there a way I can change the font and size of the red part?

Yes use this code:

<a href="http://www.vbulletin-faq.com/"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="+3" COLOR="#FF0000">vBulletin FAQ</font></a>

Just add what is in red. You can make changes to it as you see fit.
