So this is my web : ---------- and I'm using Xoops 2.4.5 with the mdcone_v2 theme, this theme comes with some additional links like : Downloads, FAQ, Guestbook, Links and Contact.

Now my question is, which modules should I use for all those features I just mentioned or if there is a way for me to delete those links in case I don't need them.

Thanks in advance,

-Jinxta

Hi,

Those links are probably hard-coded into the theme's "theme.html" file.

You can edit them manually off-line then upload the edited file to replace the original.

You will need to go into Admin>Preferences>General Settings and set "Check for changes to templates" to "Yes" get the change to "take" on your site.

Switch the setting back to "No" when finished.

I tried deleting those links on the .html file but then the whole theme gets screwed up

As a quick/dirty fix you could replace the words with the following code:

 


Whilst you find a more elegant solution.

If I have time I'll take a look but it won't be tonight (UK, GMT) as I have a date with Mrs V and bottle of Shiraz

I see you've got rid of some of the words and, as you've seen, the key paet of the code is:

<table height="20" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="balk2">
            <
tr>
                <
td id="buttons_boven"><a href="http://www.tktclan.com">HOMEa>td>
              <
td id="buttons_boven"><a href="http://www.tktclan.com/modules/newbb/">FORUMSa>td>
            tr>
          table>


Do you want more buttons (I see you're not using a Main Menu block)? If so then add more "td" entries between the "tr" and "/tr" tags.

As the code is above, you have two "td" entries and each, by default, take up half the table row ("tr"). You could make it look better by centering the two buttons within the space that their "td" uses.

Try:

<table height="20" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="balk2">
            <
tr>
                <
td id="buttons_boven" align="center"><a href="http://www.tktclan.com">HOMEa>td>
              <
td id="buttons_boven" align="center"><a href="http://www.tktclan.com/modules/newbb/">FORUMSa>td>
            tr>
          table>


use the align="center" code if you add other buttons.

I would like to make it so the Forums link is next to the Home link, but have no clue on how to do it. Would love some help with that too if possible.

What you have is one table row ("tr") containing two table cells ("td"). Each of the cells occupies half the width of the row.

So.........

1. to get them side-by-side in the centre of the row you could align the contents of the left cell to the right and the right cell to the left, i.e.

<table height="20" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="balk2">
            <
tr>
                <
td id="buttons_boven" align="right"><a href="http://www.tktclan.com">HOMEa>td>
              <
td id="buttons_boven" align="left"><a href="http://www.tktclan.com/modules/newbb/">FORUMSa>td>
            tr>
          table>


2. there are lots of ways to get them side-by-side on the left of the row, but the easiest would be to have just one cell in the row, something like:

<table height="20" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="balk2">
            <
tr>
                <
td id="buttons_boven"><a href="http://www.tktclan.com">HOMEa>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tktclan.com/modules/newbb/">FORUMSa>td>
            tr>
          table>


the

&nbsp;|&nbsp;


separates the words and adds a "|" character just for show. This isn't essential but might look nice

3. An alternative way to align them in the centre would combine the two methods above, i.e. one cell which is centre-aligned:

<table height="20" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="balk2">
            <
tr>
                <
td id="buttons_boven" align="center"><a href="http://www.tktclan.com">HOMEa>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tktclan.com/modules/newbb/">FORUMSa>td>
            tr>
          table>


Hope this helps
