Hi Modzzz.

1 - Is it possible to update the old, boring reactions box to the newer, very popular emoji type reaction box I see on many websites (sample image attached) to get more member participation & clicks?

2 - I'd like to create a standard banner ad below each opinion piece so that it gets more participation from members to post their opinion (sample image attached). If I add a banner, what would the specific <a href...> URL be to link to?

Thank you!

 1). Your suggestions have been noted.

 2). The URL has to dynamically generated so the banner must be present in a php block. The URL can be generated with this line of code :

 $sUrl = BX_DOL_URL_ROOT . $this->_oConfig->getBaseUri() . 'view/'. $this->aDataEntry['uri'];

Hi Modzzz.
 
I am able to create a php block for the 'Opinion View' page, using Deanos Tools.
  
I have my sample php statement for the banner ad with link (so someone can add their opinion to the current topic):
  
echo "<div align='center'><a href='http://mydomain.com/post-my-opinion-on-current-topic.php'><img src='http://mydomain.com/images/banner-ad.png'></div></a>";
 
 
Where do I insert this?
 
$sUrl = BX_DOL_URL_ROOT . $this->_oConfig->getBaseUri() . 'view/'. $this->aDataEntry['uri'];
 
 
If I insert it into the href part of the above php statement, I get a white browser screen.
 
Thanks for your help.
 
Jeff

$sUrl = BX_DOL_URL_ROOT . $this->_oConfig->getBaseUri() . 'view/'. $this->aDataEntry['uri'];

echo "<div align='center'><a href='{$sUrl}'><img src='http://mydomain.com/images/banner-ad.png'></div></a>";
