removing the help tab to add in sub menu drop down

[dkharp]

Hello, I can I remove the help tab? I want to put this in a sub menu.

Read the following tutorial. After reading it, you should be able to configure Core's navbar the way you want it.

How do you add custom tabs to the Core (default) theme menu?

Thanks, I know how to add tabs and drop down menus. What I want is to remove the help tab. Seems there is more to it than meets the eye...

What specifically are you having the issue with?  Sure you can remove the help tab.

If you look at my site you can see I have done modified it a hole bunch. I looked at the index and can not see where I can remove the help tab. Is it in a sub folder or something?

It will be in index.template.php. If you have already modified the menu you should be able to find the help tab code.

Thank you kindly for your reply,

I have been looking at the index. Please see attached. The only think I can think of is that it's in some sub menu file some where.

Line 433:                  <li class="level1"><a href="http://36thid.info/index.php?action=help" class="level1"><span><span class="title">Help</span></span></a></li>';

Thank you, I tried that earlier today. But I get this error when I do it.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS, expecting ',' or ';' in .../Themes/default/index.template.php on line 438

I think that to display help tab is in some sub file.

What theme are you using?  It's possible that you have already removed part of the code for the Help tab.  Can you provide a copy of the unedited index.template.php file for that theme?

I am using smf default theme 1.1.11

Is there a sub menu file?

No, there is no sub menu file in 1.1.11.  It appears that you have already edited this template file and removed a portion of the code for the help button.  Here is what you would find in an unedited /Themes/default/index.template.php file concerning the help button.

Code Select Expand

// Show the [help] button.
echo ($current_action == 'help' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '
<td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'help' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=help">' , $txt[119] , '</a>
</td>' , $current_action == 'help' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';


To remove it, you would simply comment it out or delete it.
