Clickable button next to listing title?

[Salome]

I understand so little about all of this that even asking this question is difficult - so bear with me...

How on earth could I add a clickable button behind each listing title, so that clicking on that button would take you to the same external url as the title itself? Anyone...?

This because to my horror I've noticed that the users of my site don't always realize that the listings are actually links... (Due to the content of the site they seem to think I'm just writing up these short descriptions!) So apparently I really need a big GO THERE button after each listing name. And quick, before my site has bombed completely among its intended users.

Help? Anyone? Oh, and feel free to talk to me as if I were an idiot. I don't speak Computer.

Welcome Salome

This was just a quick try so backup the file first incase of error.

Open the view-link.tpl file in you template folder.
Find:

<h1><a href="{$link.url}" id="l{$link.id}" {if $config.new_window}target="_blank"{/if}>{$link.title}</a></h1>

replace with:

<h1><a href="{$link.url}" id="l{$link.id}" {if $config.new_window}target="_blank"{/if}>{$link.title|escape:"html"}&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="{$img}image.gif" alt="" title="" /></a></h1>

Where it says "image.gif" change that to the name of the image you'll use.
Also put that image in the template img folder.

It'll do the trick but I'm sure there are better ways.

Thanks Greg!

With your advice I was able to add the button on the link details page, which was great.

My husband was able to figure out how to make the button show next to each listing in the category pages, too. I'd better ask him how he managed to do that... Man, it's such a learning curve.

Btw, my site is http://www.sltree.com just in case anyone wondered. Listing interesting locations in an online virtual world. (Geeky, I know... )
