Adding Tabs

[monitorr]

Is it possible to add a user defined tab to the list that starts

[Home] [Help] [Search] [Admin] [Profile]

I want to put another tab to link back to my site?

Thanks

Hi

I just wanted a link and identical button back to my site.

Just tried this tutorial this and I get a funny looking return button (half the size of the other buttons)and when clicked it just adds the url onto the end of the already existing url that is in the bar.

The code is below have I made mistakes?

     // Back to website Button.
     if ($context['current_action'] == 'return')      
     $current_action = 'return';
    
     // Show the [return] button.   
     echo ($current_action=='return' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '            
    
     <td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'return' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">               
     <a href="www.mydomain.com">Return</a>            
     </td>' , $current_action == 'return' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';
     
echo '</ul></div></div>';

I'm assuming you're using the default theme. If you post your index.template.php file here as an attachment, I'll have a look at it for you.

[monitorr]

sure, only problem is I am not sure how to attach the file. Can you tell me what I need to do as I cant seem to find the attachment button.

Thanks

[Chas Large]

When you reply, there is a link with a button to the left, called Additional Options below the text entry box. Click that and then the browse button to find and attach your file.

Hi again

Thanks. I have now attached the file.

[Chas Large]

OK, this file does not look like its from the default theme and therefore makes it very difficult for me to edit for you.

I have however edited a default theme index.template.php file and tested it, so that now gives a return button.. See attached.

If you look at the code for the other buttons you'll notice that it's different from the default Core theme tabs.

What you need to use is something like this:

Code Select Expand


   echo   '<li><a href="http://MySite.com"><span>Return</span></a></li>';


[monitorr]

Ok that is great thanks but it has gone back to the default theme again. The theme I would like to use is the preset Babylon Theme that is available within the Admin themes and layout section.

I noticed that Kays has put the code:

   echo   '<li><a href="http://mysite.com [nofollow]"><span>Return</span></a></li>';

Where would that go bearing in mind that I want to use a theme other then the Default theme?

[Kays]

The file Chas Large posted is for the Core or default theme. Which is why you are seeing the tabs.

The code I posted can be added to the file you attached previously. Add it before the home button. (   // Show the [home] and [help] buttons.)

If you wish to use the Babylon theme now it might get a bit trickier if you want to use the image buttons. Since you need one of those first.
