Flash menu buttons?

[rob_illinois]

I am adding in a flash menu and want to know what to use for links/path for buttons like search listings. So it pulls up the correct page. I do not want pop up seperate windows.

Thanks

an easy way to fo this, well how i learned was looking in the default templates that are in OR, should show you how they should be formatted then you can adapt them for what you need, let me know if this helps you any

I did get it to work now.


I still need to fix the left column issue. It is to short need to change width and height on it. It is not an image I know this much but no idea where it is in the main.html page, driving me nuts


Help...arghhhh :(

It'll be in your openrealty/template/whatever folder, where whatever is the name of the template you use (as defined in the OR setup page.)

You can even edit the file with a WYSIWYG editor like Dreamweaver, as the nifty {openrealty tags} won't get culled from the mix like <fake HTML> does.

There's also a CSS stylesheet somewhere, and supposedly you can tweak the existing layout to the hilt with that if you're handy with CSS.

But that's rather advanced, and I get the feeling you would be a bit lost. So stick with the HTML, and you'll be fine.

I opened the html pages in dreamweaver but I do not see the left colum green bar at all. Not sure why. Ideas?

Thanks

Sure, because the link to the style sheet in your main.html only works online. For better visual working you could add a temporary link in the header of your main.html that links directly to the style.css.

put: <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

and you should see the styles in DW when editing your template.

I did this but it did not show me any side bar at all so no good. I still have no idea when this bar is hidden at in the code to adjust it.

Take note that flash buttons are a big no no for seo as search engines cant read it

yes true and anyone that doesnt have flash cannot see it.

If its search engines your worried about make sure you have a footer with mirrored text links to the menu.
