[MODDB] Clickable Icons
Posted: 30 Apr 2009, 09:27
Title: Clickable Icons (in the header and footer)
Author: Typo
Description: This modification will show you how to take the links with icons in the header and footer and make it so that the icons are clickable.
For instance, notice how when you hover over the FAQ link, it changes the cursor to the hand, indicating it is a clickable link, changes the color of the link text and is actually clickable. Now, notice when you hover over the icon for the FAQ link, nothing happens, the cursor remains normal, the link text doesnt change color and you cannot actually click it to navigate to the FAQ page.
This modification addresses that by making the icons clickable. When installed properly, the icon next to the FAQ link will act just as the rest of the link does, when you hover the mouse over it the cursor will change, the link text will change color and you will be able to click on the icon itself to use the link.
This mod covers all the default icons used in the header and footer but as you can see by looking at the demo site, it can work with all icons.
Icons made clickable: Bookmark, Bump. FAQ, Home, Login, Logout, Members, Register, Subscribe, Unsubscribe, and the User Control Panel.
Demo Board: My site with MANY mods including this one at [url]http://www.aplacetochat.com[/url] or a default phpBB3 test board with JUST this mod at [url]http://test.computermedicone.com[/url].
Version: 1.0.0 RC
Installation Level: Easy
Installation Time: ~10 minutes
Update 1.0.0 Beta to 1.0.1 Beta: Changed from using id's to classes like I should have to begin with. MOD now passes W3C XHTML 1.0 Strict! validation. (Update instructions are included in the contrib folder.)
Update 1.0.1 Beta to 1.0.0 RC: Moved from the Beta phase into the RC (Release Candidate) phase.
