however, instead of ADDING new code, you would modify the first button in the array changing

            'href' => $scripturl,

to be

            'href' => 'http://yoururl.com',

Hi Kindred,

Tried that and nothing happens. Still takes me back to smf home instead of url?

[margarett]

Did you change the correct button?
It has to work, if the edit was correct.

Also, are using Cloudflare? If so, you might need to empty its cache

Hi Margarett,

Followed instructions > Sources>Subs.php>then did changes including 'inv commas which weren't present in code'. Thing I noticed was a full stop was present after > $scripturl . not comma as suggested, would this affect things?

Getting a http 500 int serv error now?

Better to give us the code you have right now

[Kindred]

I suspect that you modified the wrong location....

Suggested > 'href' => 'http://yoururl.com', (Tried exactly as suggested - no go)

Currently  >  'href' => http://cue-union.com . (No inv commas or comma after code just stop)

Kindred,

Sorry for the confusion, no as stated I modified Sources/Subs.php via hosts cPanel can quote line number if you wish.

[margarett]

Attach the file here so that we can take a look

[Kindred]

you ***MUST*** have the single quotes (what you seem to be calling inverted commas)

'href' => 'http://cue-union.com',

and you ***MUST*** have a COMMA at the end of that line, not a period.

Kindred,

Ok I re edited code appearing on line 4066 exactly as you described and still getting 500 error.

I might note this is how I first edited script but because it didn't work I figured the stop had something to do with it. Hence the last mod.

I didn't clear cache though?

Regards

if you are getting a 500 error, it;s not because of the file contents (because, with the way you made the edits, you would have gotten a parse error)

a 500 error is a server side thing...  either because you have the file chmod permissions wrong or because your host/configuration has some other issue with the way you edited the file

Starting to think your sig might be appropriate in this instance. Here's the code block you were after.

'mlist' => array(
            'title' => $txt['members_title']
            'href' => 'http://cue-union.com', '?action=mlist',
            'show' => $context['allow_memberlist'],
            'sub_buttons' => array(
               'mlist_view' => array(
                  'title' => $txt['mlist_menu_view'],
                  'href' => 'http://cue-union.com', '?action=mlist',
                  'show' => true,
               ),
               'mlist_search' => array(
                  'title' => $txt['mlist_search'],
                  'href' => 'http://cue-union.com', '?action=mlist;sa=search',
                  'show' => true,
                  'is_last' => true,
               ),

[margarett]

That's not a proper link to your site... That's the memberlist button...
Maybe it's easier if you use this

the OP should first revert their changes and get their forum working before trying to install a mod.... and dont forget to do a backup first.

[Kindred]

Also...I never to,d you to modify the mlist item... I told you to modify the first item in the array... Which is labeled home...

I also listed the href exactly as it was... You went and modified a compketely different line...

[Spr1te]

Thanks Margarett / Illori,

Reinstated forum > 500 error was caused by deletion of comma after first line of mlist array, corrected and all ok.

Kindred,

I tried editing code as follows..

$buttons = array(
         'home' => array(
            'title' => $txt['home'],
            'href' => $scripturl,
            'show' => true,
            'sub_buttons' => array(
            ),
            'is_last' => $context['right_to_left'],
         ),

I replaced $scripturl, with http://cue-union.com, to no avail - Am I missing something?

[Kindred]

         'home' => array(
            'title' => $txt['home'],
            'href' => 'http://cue-union.com',
            'show' => true,
            'sub_buttons' => array(
            ),
            'is_last' => $context['right_to_left'],
         ),


however, changing that will not result in a 500 error.
the 500 error is the result of some misconfiguration on your server side. check with your host as to why...

Kindred,

Got you, many thanks
