Re: {bb} Add link to a page

[Andrew Davis <andrew@nccomp.com>]

There is no smtp_footer and copying bb_footer over doesn't do it since 
BB doesn't know to look for the file. You could use the notes facility 
and have the notes file (usually in BBHOME/www/notes/hostname.html) be 
an http-equiv to an html file or location of your virus stats. 
Alternatively, if you ever notice that the smtp column name itself is 
linked to the help section. You could change this to point elsewhere... 
such as your virus stats. As for the prior suggestion of an smtp_footer, 
there is no such file. When you click the green (well, it should be 
green) square gif for the smtp test for your host, the page you see is 
made up of the test results in the body and the bb_footer and bb_header 
files. Editing bb_footer or bb_header will affect all pages, not just 
the smtp one. This means that the only real way to add a link to just 
the smtp test page is to edit the source file that handles the smtp 
testing and add your link in there. But that's a bit outside of my 
expertise, though André might be able to offer some more pointers.
