Re: New Style
OK, sorry about the delay writing a letter. Back on task.
Re: New Style
OK, I'm stuck at getting the button to do anything. I have a link variable, {U_POST_REPLY_TOPIC}, being substituted for the likes of posting.php?mode=reply&f=9&t=1931, but putting this into "action" does nothing. (But formatting is easy: ‟class="button2"”.)JacobH wrote:A form would be possible:where **phpBB pseudo-code** is whatever phpBB currently has as the href attribute of the <a> tag. This will require quite a lot of styling.Code: Select all
<form action="**phpBB pseudo-code**" method="get"> <input type="submit" value="reply" /> </form>
Clues welcomed please. (We are nearly there.)
Re: New Style
Just in case you are not aware: The Reply button still looks terrible. A temporary non-ideal solution may be a good idea.

Ah, right, I see the problem. Try changing the method to "post".jdaw1 wrote:OK, I'm stuck at getting the button to do anything.

(I did not realise that you could not send form data with a GET request via. a form whose target URL already included GET data (the ?mode=reply&f=9 &c.))
Re: New Style
Thank you that works.
Please would Blackberry and non-Blackberry users confirm happiness in this department.
Edit: non-Blackberry unhappiness: ⌘-click no longer opens the reply in a new tab.
Code: Select all
<form action="{U_POST_REPLY_TOPIC}" method="post"><input class="button2" type="submit" value="{L_POST_REPLY}"></form>

I've just noticed that on the home page (in fact, on all pages) the area above the dividing red line, on the right hand side, has cut off some of the text and links. These now read:

Re: New Style
Does look odd. Will investigate on return from the in-laws.

Re: New Style
I'm using a different machine now, this one with 1280 x 800 resolution. All looks normal and neat now. Either the different screen resolution has made a difference or something has been tweaked.

Re: New Style
Testing with Browser Shots suggests that it’s a problem with IE7. Further investigation suggests that it is a known bug, that has been fixed with the current IE8 beta. Browser Shots back that up, as it is fine with whatever version of IE8 they are using.
