6 Custom buttons / tabs and menu's (upto 4)

[ɔɔɔɔɔɔuɥoɾ]

My first edit was only to the ManageSettings.php file, but after posting I reviewed the xml file and found the other edits that are needed to make the extra subs show up and work in the buttons cp.

My forum already has too many 'main' buttons, that's the reason for attempting to put in the extra subs for this Custom Button.

Well, what I would recommend is to hard code some extra buttons in Subs.php, just remember to remove them if you want to uninstall the mod, I can give you an example if you want?

Very nice johncccccc. 

What edits can we do to add subs to a button? (I'm trying to only run one button, but with 6-8 subs)
I tried copying #4 in the "$sourcedir/ManageSettings.php" file and setting it as #5 but that didn't work.

Thanks... Ken.

Well, I could probably add more menu items, however, see the background image for them menu does not let enough for a long list of menu items, the bottom of them menu would become transparent, if a custom theme has a black background under the drop down menu, then you will not be able to see the text, until you hover that is.

On the other hand, it is completely possible and will work

By the way..

What exactly did you try to change...

With just the one button activated and using all 4 subs the bg looks good on my site, haven't done the edits for subs yet, so I don't know how that's going to look.

It's the 'Extra-Pages' link:
http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php?action=forum;theme=76
So far it's only been tested in this one theme and the SMF Default.

Examples would be good, or I can just use the xml file as a guide to add the extra code where needed.

[ɔɔɔɔɔɔuɥoɾ]

I just checked the CSS properties for your menu background in that theme, and you could have infinite amount of menu items as it does not use a background image

to add buttons hard coded, or to the xml (I would recommend since u can install it easily then)

The ones you add are the hard coded ones...

Also, if you have too many buttons, that are unused, check out my Add or Remove buttons mod
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2650
You can make room for more useful buttons then

Thanks, I'll work on this again in a bit, Kay is making a BIG breakfast for the g-kids and me, so...

Working fine, but how can i change position,  i just want that button to be after HOME, currently it is next to HELP.

Thanks

[TheListener]

Again which smf version are you using?

This mod does not have that feature, sorry.
Maybe in a future version.

[Sad_Angel]

i am using RC3

@ √®╠╣∩©Ç瀫, fine I'll keep it as it is, no problem at all.

You should be able to do that by manually moving the position of this whole code in Subs.php instead of after search to after home:

To John, a very nice and useful mod indeed.

[ɔɔɔɔɔɔuɥoɾ]

You can quiet easily, but with the amount of sub menus involved it would be very easy to mess up the arrays and end up with no forum lol

[Hj Ahmad Rasyid Hj Ismail]

Lol... quite right... Hopefully, he do not need to use all the six extra menu... Otherwise manually modding Subs.php will be better.

[Ken.]

Thanks for those hard code edits... that works very. 

Your 'Add or Remove Buttons' will also be useful.
