Manialinks

If 5.3, it's maybe when you haven't a value in the $_GET['name'].

Even with older versions of PHP it will fail if $_GET['name'] doesn't exist ^^


Anyway, when you got an 'Invalid manialink', the best thing to do is to test it in your web browser so you'll see PHP errors.

Hi !

I saw on the maniahome station some button styles that are not referenced on the manialink "exemple" for example ! I'd like to know what is the style or substyle of these colorful squared buttons ! I saw there's a small range of these buttons (green, orange, blue, grey, ...) Is it possible to use them or is it only possible for the maniahome station ?

Thanks to the one which could answer me !

It's available to everyone because it's in fact a small manialink hack.
With some styles, labels with a link got a focusable background that you can change with attributes focusareacolor1 (normal) and focusareacolor2 (mouse over). Each attribute takes a value of the form "rgb" or "rgba" so you have any color you want ^^.
Moreover, to make this kind of buttons freely, we're using actually 2 labels: one for the text and one the "button".


Anyway, there should be soon a new attribute bgcolorfocus for quads which will does the same thing but in a more logical way.

Edit: if you don't want to wait for updated quads, consider to go on labels manialink to see all available styles (and so those on which focusareacolors are working)

I just tried it and this is... fabulous !



Thanks for sharing the trick ! I'm looking forward the update though !
