Swapping text for images

[Ewan]

Pekka,

I remember you mentioned somewhere in a thread that any of the text elements in the list.php and photo.php pages could be replaced with images. How is this done?

I was thinking in particular of the 'previous' and 'next' links on the photo page which I'd like to replace with buttons.

Thanks.

I've worked out how to put the pictures in but how do I remove the space between the images? I want the previous/next buttons to be joined.

according to the html source on that page, there's four no-breaking spaces between the buttons... seems that you could remove them??

Thanks, but where are these in photo.php?

they are not... they are (apparently) in pagetemplates/photo :shock:

it took me quite a while to find them... probably because i wasn't truely following the code but i did find them 8)

mind sharing what you did to get the images in there? one would hope that there's an easier way other than hacking the code... otherwise, upgrades are going to be a royal PITA :?

The code for using images instead of ANY translated text (with style/language-specific images) is nearly finished - I'm now shooting Lieksa Brass festival and will continue working on release version after thursday.

The system is already there in RC4, but it does not handle styles/languages.

thanks for the replies.

I've deleted those spaces - looks a lot better now!

To put the images in I edited ../languages/eng/photo.php and replaced the text with a link to the image, eg:

$translated["next"]["image"] = "http://www.oaktreephoto.co.uk/images/buttons/next.jpg";

You also need to add the ["image"] bit as shown in the example.

excellent!

ahhhh... is the "http://your.site" portion absolutely needed? seems that that adds "bloat" (granted, not much) to the code and would only be needed if the desired images are on another server...

In pagetemplates/photo/default.php. I commented out line 75 as shown:

print $prevlink_html;
//print "    ";
print $nextlink_html;
