Trying to tweak the Links page... | Forum

I installed the links plugin and am trying to figure out how it builds the links page.

I can see bits of it scattered around several php bits.

I wanted to tweak the layout, possibly putting some static content on the right side, but I can not figure out where the view comes from.

ow_plugins/links/views/controllers/view_index.html seems to be the one I want to modify, but when I make changes to that page and upload nothing changes.

(side project of learning how plugins work by taking one apart... starting on the plugin docs also).

Stephen, whenever you are editing .html files make sure to enable DEV_MODE in ow_includes/config.php. This will clean site's cache and you will be able to see your changes. Don't forget to disable this mode once you are done testing.

Either doesn't matter, they will both work as follows:

.ow_links.clearfix {
background: url("/200px-Lucifer_KHBBS.png") no-repeat scroll right 300px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)}

...OR...

div.ow_links {
background: url("/200px-Lucifer_KHBBS.png") no-repeat scroll right 300px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)}

Sample outcome

These codes will be as input at "Edit CSS" section of www.yoursite.com/admin/theme/css
