Hello, I was thinking about adding a link back to an adoptable's stats from the "click" page, but I can't figure out how to insert the adoptable's id into the "stat" page url. Can someone help me? :)

{$this->adopt->aid} is what you need. ^^

Thanks! So I just plug this thing into the link? >^.^<

Yep! If you want to get anything else on the adopt, replacing aid also works. If you get an error about it being a private thing, tell me and what file you're editing so I can tell you how to remove that (so you don't have to add a column, or you can add one).

Doesn't work - probably because I'm editing the lang levelup file but, is this how it's suppossed to be done?:
<a href="http://caterpillarcave.x10.mx/levelup/stats/{$this->adopt->aid}" target="_self" title="" style="font-size:16;color:black;font-family:;text-decoration:none;">Click here to view this adoptable</a>
The php is smack in the middle of the link. O.o

Well Id say using the GUI component Link object is the better idea, since you never know where the relative url will resolve to.

Oh, but what's that? I don't have any experience with PHP, so I'm kind of trying to figure out what that is... >.<

Yeah, I normally don't go through the lang file. In the php file it'd work, I have done something similar. I don't use the styles either (would you believe me if I told you I spent 2 hours trying to figure out how to align something?) :coloness:

Well, you have a really amazing site so sorry, but no, I don't believe you. XP

So let me try it in the php file...

Edit: Uh oh - broke the page! :L Erm, what's supposed to go around the link?

I've been trying to put it in like this: $pagelink = <a href="http://caterpillarcave.x10.mx/levelup/stats/{$this->adopt->aid}" target="_self" title="" style="font-size:16;color:black;font-family:;text-decoration:none;">Click here to view this adoptable</a>
$document => addlangvar ($message, $pagelink);

$document => addlangvar ($message, $pagelink);

It needs to be a regular dash not a equals sign, methinks.

Ok, doesn't work with dashes either. O.o

This is the closest I've gotten:
$pagelink = <html><a href="http://caterpillarcave.x10.mx/levelup/stats/<?php{$this->adopt->aid}?>" target="_self" title="" style="font-size:16;color:black;font-family:;text-decoration:none;">Click here to view this adoptable</a></html>

Well you better use the GUI API rather than embedding PHP code inside HTML. The code you posted above clearly aint working 'cause you are trying to assign a string variable $pagelink, but its not a string.
