Title: Image Link on Portal
Post by: Old Fossil on July 27, 2009, 01:49:00 PM

Over at sm.org a member kindly made the image (attachment 1) for me to use on twitter for my forum.

Can the image be used on the portal as a link to the twitter account?

That depends, on how you want to display it...

You could easily use a HTML, BBC or PHP block to display your image with a link to your twitter account.

Definately html.

Most of the widgets on the portal are html.

So just make an HTML block with the proper image code.

Something like;

Code: [Select]

<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://twitter.com/your_profile" target="_blank"><img src="http://somewhere.com/link_to_image.png" alt="" title="Follow us on Twitter!" /></a></div>

Would the somewhere.com/link_to_image.png text be the link to the image ie my photobucket account?

That's correct. :)

Also, the your_profile in the Twitter URL would be the name of your Twitter profile.

The image is working except it takes me to my photobucket account and not twitter.
