Hi Derrick, add the following code to /public_html/skins/MonoBook.php:
<div width=150px align=left style="background-color:transparent; padding:6px
0px 8px 44px; font-size:11px; line-height:18px;">
<A HREF="http://aseanpedia.com/Special:Random";>
<IMG SRC="http://aseanpedia.com/images/c/cf/Button.png"; HEIGHT="58px"
WIDTH="58px" ISMAP></A><br />
<A HREF="http://aseanpedia.com/Special:Random";><font face="Times
Roman">random pick</font></A></small>
</div>
The code is placed where you want the button to appear. For me, I put it
just above:
<?php
}
/*************************************************************************************************/
function toolbox() {
?>
<div class="portlet" id="p-tb">
<h5><?php $this->msg('toolbox') ?></h5>
<div class="pBody">
<ul>
I got the button from the internet but cannot remember where it is. You can
download my button if you want at Image:button.png. But if you can find the
original source, you have a real good choice of colors. I like the red one
very much but unfortunately, red means stop, so green for go, LOL.
