Hi, a step by step manual you'll find here: knowledge/kb_show.php?id=16

if you want to use a Picture as Link-Button it should work if you just change this line:

Code: Select all

<li><a href="{U_ARCADE}">{L_ARCADE}</a></li>

to this:

Code: Select all

<li><a href="{U_ARCADE}"><img src="your_style/imageset/your_picture.png" alt="Arcade games" /></a></li>

this would be an very simple Method. May be it could be possible to change the Value for {L_ARCADE} this way in lang_portal.php, but i don't know if this would work.

This is not advisable since you shouldnt have any html code into the language files, and furthermore you dont change the linktext just for the menu but wherever the linktext occours.

[m4ddy]

yes, but should be better than change it in main_menu.html cause it's not felxible, if you change Language or something.

but please correct me if i'm wrong it's realy interesting for me.

I would change it directly in main_menu.html or whatever file who contains a list of links.
If i remember right, i read at phpBB.com (or de) that html in languagefiles is a bad idea. Dont ask me why.
