Linking problems!

Saphire · Post by **Saphire** » Fri Aug 23, 2002 2:41 pm

Everything works just fine, cept for the next, prev, first and start buttons!

The gifs are called as the tagtorial says, but they arent linking.
Also, the dropdown is links to an unexistant webpage, but if I paste the url by separate it sends me to the place where its supposed to.

Do I have to make the prev and such gifs link to somewhere? I thought that keensystem would just do that, but now it doesnt seems so =/

My strip's url is http://yakusoku.keenspace.com

if you want the buttons you need to upload them to /workspace/images/ using first_day.jpg or first_day.gif, otherwise keenspace should fill in your tags with text links saying first_day etc. the thing is you use the tags ***first_day*** ***previous_day*** ***next_day*** and ***last_day*** instead of just adding the image, which won't link to anything, if you use the tags then keenspace will take your gif out of /images/ and use it
as for the dropdown all your links look like this:
http://yakusoku.keenspace.comhttp://yak ... 20819.html
which you can see is clearly a problem, i don't use a dropdown on my page so i'm not sure if it's a problem relating to the fact that you use frontpage, or that you made the dropdown incorrectly
overall it's much better to learn HTML, which is quick and easy, than to rely on a program that uses bad, redundant code

I know html, its just that its a pain in the ass to work with tables using just a txt file. And besides front page makes everything much faster

I gotta go now, but I will give a better look to your post when Im back.

Lol, I had the same problem. Just REALLY MAKE SURE that your images are first_day, previous_day, next_day, and last_day. Then double check them so they're spelled correctly. Then recheck your tags so they're spelled right. ^_^

You're not using ***tags*** for the nav buttons. You've named the images correctly, and they're in the right place. Now all you need to do is replace the img tags for them in your templates with ***first_day***, ***previous_day***, etc.

Speaking of the virtues of writing your own HTML and stuff, the HTML for your site would probaly be greatly simplified if you used a few divs and some CSS.

Ah thanks, I was able to fix the linking problems and the dropdown too.

Just 2 more questions,

If I edit the daily template, will all of the old pages change too?
Atrus, from which anime is your avatar? Just wondering

Fun emoticons!

yes, that's the great thing, if you edit one file all your old pages will change, kinda like CSS...

Please note that all of your archive pages will be altered with just the regular update, don't run a full update.

As for my avatar, it's lain from one of the more common pictures floating around, there's one with it here.

Ah, thought so, but I wasnt quite sure 'cause she looks older in that picture.

Well, could you explain me the difference between each update?
And after uploading the comics on work space comics, they like dissapear, but they are still in the public html.

Is that supposed to happen?

Update index.html page only- self explanatory

Regular update-updates anything that needs to be updated (dependency aware). Any comics that have been uploaded to workspace/comics will have archive pages generated for them and the comics will be moved to public_html/comics/

Full update-Remakes every single page in your archives, your index.html, and all pages in workspace/webpages/ ignoring the fact that they don't need to be. Extrememly time and server resource consuming and almost always unneeded.
