Repatoo - help....

[astral276]

Hi Astral276,
I wonder if you can tell me where to paste the Repatoo link.

See: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/astral....icks.htm#a0020

That will tell you how to insert the link if you are bemused by the Source edit box.

Hi plepew, You need to change your about me page over to HTML by clicking on the 'Source' button at the top left hand side of the tool bar and then paste in the link code.
After that change it back to WYSIWYG and you should get the Repatoo box showing .

OK...pretty dumb on my part but for the life of me I cannot find the SOURCE button. I was able to add this link (BOX) into the description of my auctions (one by one) but I cannot add this information in My All About Me page.

If you cannot see the Source button at the top-left of the editor then you are probably using the wrong editor. You need to select the WYSIWYG Advanced editor. You can do this by going to My eBid > My Options > My Defaults, selecting the editor there and clicking the Save General Defaults button.

I found the DEFAULT area where I was able to change to HTML....it is located at the bottom of the page, in the black area. I now have Repatoo in My All About Me page. The idea of marking with XXXXXXX's was so smart...Thank you everyone for your help.

....... and then you should be seeing it to the top left of your tool box at the top of the screen like this on your about me page.

First.. Assume this is the code you're working with:

<a href='http://www.repatoo.com/?action=lookup&id=xxxx' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.repatoo.com/images/badge2/xxxx.png' style='border: 0px;' title='view my Repatoo profile'/></a>

The xxxx will be typically carrying your specific ID number

Paste this to notepad or wordpad (or whatever other text editor you have)

Now separate the link from the image - The link is contained in the quotes after <a href= .. :

Link: http://www.repatoo.com/?action=lookup&id=xxxx

Now get the image URL (this is in the quoted part of img src code):

Image: http://www.repatoo.com/images/badge2/xxxx.png

Next, get your "alternate Text" (Also contained in the img src tag)

Alt Text: view my Repatoo profile


Now,. simply go to your about me page and while editing click in the spot you want to put repatoo badge , just stay in the WYSIWYG side - (the HTML view), type a letter and postition it where you want (centered, left aligned, whatever) , backspace to remove the letter, and then..

First, click on the Insert Image button , in the popup window, under Image Info tab , Enter the IMAGE url (from your Image: line ) with the http:// prefix in the URL box, for Alternative Text, enter the Alt text you took from the code.. (no quotes)

Then go to the Link tab and paste in the Link: url you took from the Href code.. (and I'd suggest selecting "New Window" in the "target" drop down) - click on "ok" and Hey, Presto! Your repatoo badge should now show up in your page

Works the same with listing editor and also with NinjaLister

**edit .. Heh.. while I was reading and then replying to this thread, it appears a whole buncha people started on page 2 and left me behind.. haha.. Oh well

I did suggest to Repatoo, a long while back, that when you click on the Create button that they generate and display the actual badge on the page. Then you could just copy/paste or simply drag the badge into a WYSIWYG editor. They did say they were going to implement this - but never have.
