Adding Top menu Tabs

[BizBink]

well i know theres a doc for that and i have read it over and over folowed it and came to a conclusion that the script im lookin g for in the defualt them Index.template.php is not on there and look like something different like this

Code Select Expand

// Show the menu up top. Something like [home] [help] [profile] [logout]...
function template_menu()
{
global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt;

echo '
<div id="main_menu">
<ul class="dropmenu" id="menu_nav">';

foreach ($context['menu_buttons'] as $act => $button)
{
echo '
<li id="button_', $act, '">
<a class="', $button['active_button'] ? 'active ' : '', 'firstlevel" href="', $button['href'], '"', isset($button['target']) ? ' target="' . $button['target'] . '"' : '', '>
<span class="', isset($button['is_last']) ? 'last ' : '', 'firstlevel">', $button['title'], '</span>
</a>';
if (!empty($button['sub_buttons']))
{
echo '
<ul>';

foreach ($button['sub_buttons'] as $childbutton)
{
echo '
<li>
<a href="', $childbutton['href'], '"', isset($childbutton['target']) ? ' target="' . $childbutton['target'] . '"' : '', '>
<span', isset($childbutton['is_last']) ? ' class="last"' : '', '>', $childbutton['title'], !empty($childbutton['sub_buttons']) ? '...' : '', '</span>
</a>';
// 3rd level menus :)
if (!empty($childbutton['sub_buttons']))
{
echo '
<ul>';

foreach ($childbutton['sub_buttons'] as $grandchildbutton)
echo '
<li>
<a href="', $grandchildbutton['href'], '"', isset($grandchildbutton['target']) ? ' target="' . $grandchildbutton['target'] . '"' : '', '>
<span', isset($grandchildbutton['is_last']) ? ' class="last"' : '', '>', $grandchildbutton['title'], '</span>
</a>
</li>';

echo '
</ul>';
}

echo '
</li>';
}
echo '
</ul>';
}
echo '
</li>';
}

echo '
</ul>
</div>';
}


adn theres more after that but i gave enough to get the picture... where do i type in to add another menue tab

[Illori]

for smf 2.0 to modify the menu you need to look in subs.php not index.template.php.

[Kays]

Hi, it is done differently in SMF 2.0. This should answer any questions on how it's done.

Adding tabs to SMF 2.0

[BizBink]

ok so i did that all and followed it exactly but now it shows the tab but theres no name for the tab :S

idk if its something eles or if its becasue theres no language for it

[Matthew K.]

If you want to, attach your Subs.php and Modifications.english.php and then explain what you want to the tab to say, and what you want it's attributes to do and I'll do it for you.

[BizBink]

where is the Modifications.english.php loacated at

and i just want it to show the name to the tab thats it like it just shows a blank box.... look at it here forum.bizbink.com

[BizBink]

ummm i dont know where the Modifications.english.php is at but i can attach the subs first for now

i just want it to say the tabs thing and nothing special its just that theres nothing there but a black box

[Illori]

Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php

[BizBink]

ok here you go and if you want to see what im talking baout here when i say theres nothing there but a blank box look here forum.bizbink.com

[Matthew K.]

Here is Subs.php.

[BizBink]

Product

but also in the future i want to be able to add sub menus

[Matthew K.]

Here is your Modifications.english.php.

Also - Out of curiosity, what menu mod do you have installed?

[BizBink]

something called custom top menu

[BizBink]

i added it and it still isnt there... still a blank box with no text

[Matthew K.]

Yeah - That's it...interesting. Did you clear your forums cache?

[BizBink]

i just did it twice now... any other ideas... does  it im using a another theme thats not defualt

[Matthew K.]

I don't see how that couldn't be working, I just double checked the code I wrote - And it should be working. Are you using UTF-8? Theme won't affect it.

[BizBink]

what is UTF-8...

[Matthew K.]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8 it's a type of character encoding.

[BizBink]

i would have no idea if i am using that or not... this is all new to me so now im thinking is my coding wrong

can you take a look at it... i uploaded it a while ago called subs.php
