XF 1.4 Add a button

[upnet]

I'm thinking to add a button that is a link to a page in my sidebar. I would think a simple solution would have it be the same as the "Sign Up Now" button. How could I duplicate another button below "Sign Up Now" that simply has different text and a link to somewhere else?

Copy the code of the Sign Up Now! button in the respective template and place it below the existing code, adjusting it to suit.

Logical concept. Not sure exactly how to implement. The code I see (sidebar_visitor_panel) looks like:

<label for="LoginControl" id="SignupButton"><a href="{xen:link login}" class="inner">{xen:if $xenOptions.registrationSetup.enabled, {xen:phrase sign_up_now}, {xen:phrase log_in}}</a></label>

If you wanted to link to the members page, for example, instead of xen:link login, you'd use xen:link members.

Ok, can I put a URL in the href="" and then get rid of the IF. And simply use the existing Label? Example:

<label for="LoginControl" id="SignupButton"><a href="http://myboard.com/gohere/" class="inner">Go Here</a></label>

Give it a try; if it doesn't work, revert the template.

Thanks for the replies Maru. I don't have a test site, can anyone advise on this code addition?

That was the basic solution. I had to take it out of the bigger IF that toggles between the registration button and the logged in member info. I also had to include the class for secondary content. Thanks for the confidence to try Maru
