Linktree - remove forum index on custom home page

[cowboytns]

I have created a custom home page based on my forum theme.  My custom homepage address is: http://brainmush.net/forum2/home.php?page=brainmush and the code is:

Code Select Expand

<?php

$ssi_gzip = true;  //true--means gzip is turned on.
$ssi_ban = true;  //true--means a banned forum user will be banned also in the SSI page.
// Comment out the line below to use the forum's default theme. (what the Admin has set)

ob_start();  //is needed not to get errors.

// Load up SSI
require(dirname(__FILE__) . '/SSI.php');

// Set up the page title
$context['page_title'] = 'Brainmush.net';
$context['page_title_html_safe'] = 'Brainmush.net';

// Set up linktree
$context['linktree'][] = array(
 'url' => $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],
   
);

// Initialize the template
template_init();

// Load up the headers
template_header();

// Load your template function
template_main();

// Load the template footer
template_footer();

// Set up the main template
function template_main()
{
global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt, $modSettings;

echo '

When I am on my homepage I want the link tree to just have "Home."  I don't want: "Home >> Forum Index"

In order to get the "Home" value in front of the forum index I inserted this code into the sources/load.php file:

Code Select Expand

// Set the top level linktree up.
        array_unshift($context['linktree'], array(
'url' => $scripturl,
'name' => $context['forum_name_html_safe']
));

        array_unshift($context['linktree'], array(
'url' => 'http://brainmush.net/forum2/home.php?page=brainmush',
'name' => 'Home',

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can edit the linktree for the homepage?

Thanks

It really bugs me when people bump but does anyone have any ideas on what I can do or other posts I can read on this issue? 

As an alternative, does someone know how I can remove the linktree from my custom homepage (see coding in previous post) but leave it on all the forum pages?

I'm not sure I'm following exactly. Any reason you can't just unset() the part of the array that you don't want on your custom page?

[cowboytns]

thank you for the reply.  However, you'll have to excuse my coding ignorance.  The unset() command you speak of may be what I need...however what exactly does it do and where would I apply it?  In my custom page I would imagine?

[IchBin™]

So you can use unset() to remove a variable set in PHP. Here's what the $context['linktree'] array looks like if you do a print_r() on it.

Code Select Expand

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [url] => http://www.mysite.com/index.php
            [name] => IchBin Here
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [url] => http://www.mysite.com/index.php?action=forum
            [name] => Forum
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [url] => http://www.mysite.com/index.php?action=forum#2
            [name] => Public
        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [url] => http://www.mysite.com/index.php?board=11.0
            [name] => PHP Code Discussion
        )

)

To remove something from the linktree, you should be able to unset() any of those variables. For instance, if I wanted to remove the category name in the able example, I could do this before I echo out the linktree.

Code Select Expand

unset($context['linktree'][2]);

[cowboytns]

Thank you ever so much.  I got it to do what I wanted it to do.  Using the unset() command you told me about, I just deleted the linktree from my custom page by doing the following:
I replaced:

Code Select Expand

// Set up linktree
$context['linktree'][] = array(
  'url' => $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],
);

with:

Code Select Expand

// Set up linktree
$context['linktree'][] = array(
  'url' => $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],
);
unset($context['linktree']);

In it's place I have created a linktree manually that will work just fine for all of the custom pages that I am going to create.

Again, thank you for your help.  This topic is SOLVED!
