[MODDB] Clickable Icons

Postby Typo » 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.

This is my first mod so I appreciate ALL comments and feedback.

Please, if you try this mod, let me know how it works, how the install went and how you like it. I have had very very little feedback so far.

Thanks and enjoy.
