Help with Linking...

Postby nijil-xnv » August 28th, 2011, 9:36 pm

Okay, I tried on my own and I looked through some of the other questions asked, but didn't feel like going through all the pages so...

I update my comic two pages at a time. I would like the Latest Pages link to link to the first of the new pages not the last. I may have just been looking in the wrong spot but it seemed to me that it I could just put the URL I wanted here:

Code: Select all
<a href="{latest_comic.URL}" title="{latest_comic.TITLE}">
         <a href="{latest_comic.URL}">{latest_comic.TITLE}</a>


When I tried that it just went to an error page so...I guess I need to know if that's correct or not and if so which one (or both) do I paste the URL to.

While, I'm here, I may as well ask this as well. I wanted to put a custom button in and I'd like it to be around the same area as the Latest Comic link. The button is for new readers and would replace the button on the menu bar. Would someone be able to tell me how to do that?

Thank you all for your help!
Really? Can you believe it!

There's actually no clean or easy way to link to the second-to-last page. Sorry.

If you just want to add a link to the menu page and don't care where, go to edit your Menu code and add this above the line that says </ul>:
Code: Select all
<li><a href="your url here">Button text here</a></li>


If you want to add it amidst the other links, though, you'll have to break up the automatic loop and list the links out manually. Then you can just add the above line in between wherever you want it.

Ah... humbug. All righty then. I guess I'll just have to suffer with having the lastest page displayed first...

And I'll try that other one for my button. Thanks!
