How to make links from buttons to site

Well I guess this is where I need to go and have help on making a link to a button and then to my site to other sites..I don't know how else to explain it..

@Ellianna17 if you can explain on step by step on what all I need to do to get the button you made to work and if you don't mind explaining to me how you made the button I would really appreciate it

I know nothing about coding how to make it or how it even works

Thank you for your help in advance..

Hi there,

You simply make the button into a link via HTML coding.

Code:

<a href="REDIRECTED LINK GOES HERE"> <img src="IMAGE URL GOES HERE" /></a>

Thank you Draxion for your help but I don't have the button yet from @Ellianna17..I tried just coping and pasteing the the picture from where she had posted it but then I used your coding and it don't work..

Hi,

Where are you trying to post the code? Cause I tried it on my forum and it worked just fine.

Well I'm not sure where to put it..and what did you use for the picture did you just copy and paste it from the one that Ellianna17 made??

"ACP>Modules>Forum Widgets Management then click the modify button of the widget you want to add the coding (commonly the widget used to affiliate is 'Affiliate' found in the Personal Widgets). Paste it there, then hit save." but not sure this is where I even want to put it..I don't know getting confused

No, you right click the image and click 'Copy image URL' and paste that in where I said to paste the URL in the code.

Ok I did that and then I put it here

"ACP>Modules>Forum Widgets Management then click the modify button of the widget you want to add the coding (commonly the widget used to affiliate is 'Affiliate' found in the Personal Widgets). Paste it there, then hit save."

Can you post your forum URL?

Go to ACP>Modules>Forum Widgets Management
Scroll down and find 'Affiliates'.
Click then you will be transmitted to a new page. Copy this code then paste this into the text box:

Code:

<a href="broomhildassims2.my-freeforum.com/"><img src="http://i68.tinypic.com/2mhhm3s.jpg" /></a>

Hit Submit. =)
If you want to change the image, change "https://2img.net/h/oi68.tinypic.com/2mhhm3s.jpg" to the image of your choice.

You can also paste the code to anywhere you want the affiliate image to be.

Hope this helps! =)

I'm not sure..HTML is worse than anything..even getting your teeth pulled lol..

Where is the best place to put that button?

I would say it would be the 'Affiliates' widget, since that's where affiliate buttons are located in your forum. =)

It's not working for me..the image isn't showing up

Hmmmm.... Weird, 'cause it's working for me.

Can you please post the codes in the text box of 'Affiliates'?

I don't understand???

I just copied and pasted this <a href="broomhildassims2.my-freeforum.com/"><img src="https://2img.net/h/oi68.tinypic.com/2mhhm3s.jpg" /></a> then took out the i6i.tinypic.com and added either this

--IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards or

https://2img.net/h/oi67.tinypic.com/ih34wi.jpg--Direct Link for Layouts

Never mind....
Go to ACP>Modules>Forum Widgets Management
Scroll down and find 'Affiliates,' then click below it.
Replace the text in 'Affiliates' with this:

Code:

<div align="center">
     <br /><a href="http://www.forumotion.com/" target="_blank" title="forumotion.com"><img src="http://www.illiweb.com/fa/banner/en/banner5.png" alt="free forum" style="width: 113px; height: 50px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/forumotionpage" target="_blank" title="forumotion fan page"><img src="http://2img.net/i/fa/optimisation_fdf/common/facebook.png" alt="Forumotion on Facebook" /></a>  <a href="https://twitter.com/Forumotion" target="_blank" title="Forumotion on Twitter"><img src="http://2img.net/i/fa/optimisation_fdf/common/bouton-twitter.png" alt="Forumotion on Twitter" /></a>  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/ForumotionDotCom" target="_blank" title="ForumotionTV"><img src="http://2img.net/i/fa/optimisation_fdf/common/youtube.png" alt="Forumotion on YouTube" /></a><a href="https://plus.google.com/107485877921870703628/posts" target="_blank" title="Forumotion Google+ page"><img src="http://2img.net/i/fa/optimisation_fdf/common/google.png" alt="Forumotion on Google+" /></a>
</div>
<div align="center">
     <br /><span style="text-align: start; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><a href="broomhildassims2.my-freeforum.com/"><img src="http://i68.tinypic.com/2mhhm3s.jpg" /></a></span><br /> 
   <div id="FM_widget_partners">

Hit submit. =)

I'm sorry Ellianna17..going into panic attacks now so confused

Sorry I didn't see the edited version of your post...

I noticed you uploaded the image with TP. You don't need to upload it again, I used TP to upload photos as well. It's already in TP link. =) Try changing it back to the link I gave you. <3

Ok but that is you TP not mine shouldn't I be using my TP links??

You could use mine as well, as long as you have the permission to do so. You already have the permission. =)

Thank you for that but I would like to use mine..last time I used someone else's we stopped talking and she deleted it..it's not that I don't trust you I just would feel better if mine was used..

And after we get this mess fixed lol..can you explain to me how you made the button please..

Thank you for all your help and patients

Try this instead:

Code:

<a href="broomhildassims2.my-freeforum.com/"><img src="http://i67.tinypic.com/ih34wi.jpg" /></a>

Cool it work but it hesitated a bit with this You can return to the index... then went to my site

the animation isn't working either

Oops. I forgot http://www....

Code:

<a href="http://www.broomhildassims2.my-freeforum.com/"><img src="http://i68.tinypic.com/2mhhm3s.jpg" /></a>

I checked your TP link and the animation doesn't work, try using my link instead.

Everything works now Ellianna17 thank you soooo much for the awesome button..an all your patients with me..

Why didn't my TP work..??

Hmmm..... Must be problems with TinyPic.

Or I probably copied and pasted it wrong lol..it's probably me not TP..

It is going on 3 am so tired..next posting I put it will be on how did you make the button lol..I would like to know that and then practice on making one..and if you can put text with pictures it would help..

Where would I post that..will be doing that later on tonight or tomorrow.

You could contact me via PM if you wanna know how to make graphics.

Oh thank you so much..Ellianna17 you are a gem..I really appreciate all you have done for me..and I will take you up on the offer of the PM for the graphics

Good night Ellianna17 just a few hours of sleep for me..finish putting plastic up over 4 apt windows and watch grandkids lol
