Re: Adding a page to the navbar.

[MordyT]

Hello,
I have tried adding a simple tab to the navbar using instructions found here, but have had no luck.
I am using SMF 2.0RC3 with EOTSDZINE Call of Duty Fluid style.
Here is what I added:

Code Select Expand

  'sponsors' => array(
            'title'  => $txt['sponsors'],
            'href' => 'http://rvoclan.info/index.php?page=donations',
            'show'  => true,
            'sub_buttons' => array(
            ),
         ),

My subs.php file looks like (in short)

Code Select Expand

All the buttons we can possible want and then some, try pulling the final list of buttons from cache first.
    if (($menu_buttons = cache_get_data('menu_buttons-' . implode('_', $user_info['groups']) . '-' . $user_info['language'], $cacheTime)) === null || time() - $cacheTime <= $modSettings['settings_updated'])
    {
        $buttons = array(
            'home' => array(
                'title' => $txt['home'],
                'href' => $modSettings['sp_portal_mode'] == 3 && empty($context['disable_sp']) ? $modSettings['sp_standalone_url'] : $scripturl,
                'show' => true,
                'sub_buttons' => array(
                ),
                'is_last' => $context['right_to_left'],
                // 'target' => '_blank',
            ),
            'forum' => array(
                'title' => empty($txt['sp-forum']) ? 'Forum' : $txt['sp-forum'],
                'href' => $scripturl . ($modSettings['sp_portal_mode'] == 1 && empty($context['disable_sp']) ? '?action=forum' : ''),
                'show' => in_array($modSettings['sp_portal_mode'], array(1, 3)) && empty($context['disable_sp']),
                'sub_buttons' => array(
                ),
            ),
            'help' => array(
                'title' => $txt['help'],
                'href' => $scripturl . '?action=help',
                'show' => true,
                'sub_buttons' => array(
                ),
            ),
            'custom' => array(
                'title' => !empty($modSettings['custom_tab_label']) ? $modSettings['custom_tab_label'] : $txt['custom_tab_label_default'],
                'href' => !empty($modSettings['custom_tab_execute_url']) ? $modSettings['custom_tab_execute_url'] : $scripturl,
                'show' => $user_info['is_guest'] ? !empty($modSettings['custom_tab_enable_guest_access']) : !empty($modSettings['custom_tab_enable_member_access']),
                'sub_buttons' => array(
                ),
            ),
            'arcade' => array(
                'title' => $txt['arcade'],
                'href' => $scripturl . '?action=arcade',
                'show' => $context['allow_arcade'],
                'sub_buttons' => array(
                ),
            ),
            'search' => array(
                'title' => $txt['search'],
                'href' => $scripturl . '?action=search',
                'show' => $context['allow_search'],
                'sub_buttons' => array(
                ),
            ),
            'sponsors' => array(
            'title' => $txt['sponsors'],
            'href' => 'http://rvoclan.info/index.php?page=donations',
            'show' => true,
            'sub_buttons' => array(
            ),
            ),
            'teampage' => array(
                'title' => (!empty($txt['team']) ? $txt['team'] : 'Team'),
                'href' => $scripturl . '?action=teampage',
                'show' => true,
                'sub_buttons' => array(
                ),
            ),
As soon as I add the code right before teampage, I start getting errors in the error log...

I am guessing this has to do with PrettyURLs

I have no idea why mate, Im just dosing off to sleep so not thinking correct, but as a short suggestion, try renaming 'sponsors' => array(     to     'donations' => array(
It might blow up your forum, but is worth a try

[MordyT]

Well, truth is I have a donations tab already. But needless to say, I have tried different names, same issue.

Did you add a textstring for 'Sponsors' in your language file(s) ?

[MordyT]

Did you add a textstring for 'Sponsors' in your language file(s) ?

I think I did, /themes/default/index.english.php at the bottom...
But I may not have, I will check...

I thought you only needed to do that if you had multiple different languages?

Well it should be there. You could use this instead:

Code Select Expand

            'title'  => 'Sponsors',

But otherwise, you need it in your language files using $txt. To be honest, what did you want it to say, "Sponsors"? If so, where do you think it'd get it from?

Ultimately, add it to index.english.php or modifications.english.php and it will work alot easier.

Ok, I know I did try it with 'title'  => 'Sponsors',, and still couldn't get it to show.

What do I need to do with modifications.english.php?

And did you also empty the forum cache when you tried that ?

After any change of text, just empty the forumcache.

[MordyT]

Of course I tried that. No go for me.
