[1.1] How to add tabs to Core (NDT)?

[ladyshanae]

Redeye -

I'm going to guess your code looks something like this:

// Show the [gallery] button.
echo ($current_action=='gallery' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '
<td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'gallery' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=gallery">Chat</a>
</td>' , $current_action == 'gallery' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';

You want to replace this:

<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=gallery">Chat</a>

With this:

<a href="insert_gallery_url_here">Gallery</a>

Obviously where 'insert_gallery_url_here' is the link to your gallery.

Hope that helps!

Actually take a look at Photo Gallery....  It shows you how to do it so that it will work with the action=gallery.  Take a look at my website.  I have it like that too.  http://www.kevmundial.com/board/index.php?action=gallery

Just a quick and really simple one guys...

I am running the default theme in RC2, i have my button for my gallery working fine, but i have lost the "light blue" colour when pressed--- i am very new to this i am sure this is a two second fix.

Link to site www.minidirectory.co.uk/forum.

Thanks for the great support so far guys.

Use this.

Code Select Expand

// Show the [chat] button.
echo ($current_action=='coppermine' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '
<td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'coppermine' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?coppermine' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';

if ($context['current_action'] == 'coppermine')
$current_action = 'search';

Hi there... i tried above (if that was for me) and it didnt work..

this is my code.... in index.template

// Show the [gallery] button.

   echo ($current_action=='coppermine' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '
   <td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'coppermine' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
      <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=coppermine">gallery</a>
   </td>' , $current_action == 'coppermine' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';   

my site is www.minidirectory.co.uk/forum

[JayBachatero]

Small mistake.

Code (find) Select Expand


if ($context['current_action'] == 'coppermine')
$current_action = 'search';


Code (replace) Select Expand


if ($context['current_action'] == 'coppermine')
$current_action = 'coppermine';


Also paste that Above where the other statments for current action are.

Hi jay again.... if i use your posted code even with the amendments i loose the button of my nav bar... with the code i posted above the button shows and works fine, it just doesnt change to "light blue" when pressed.

Any ideas? am i editing the right file index.template?

[Veej]

After installing TP and using their given index.template.php file I hve lost the arcade and shop buttons.

Will this method make it so that they are highlighted when the user is in the shop like the admin button bg sort of enlarges like a tab when you are in the ACP?

[JayBachatero]

Doggy sorry for the late response must have missed this one by mistake.  Did you add the code I gave you BEFORE the button?  Under the search one?

Veej yes this method will make the tabs active.  Just follow the steps and you will be fine

[Dazzler]

jay.. would you mind if i sent you my "Index.template" for 2 mins of your attention..

[JayBachatero]

Sure why not.  My email is [email protected].

[Dazzler]

email sent.. you might want to delete you mail before you get hundreds of requests... thanks for your time... Daz

[JayBachatero]

Ok here you go.  You where mis this

Code Select Expand


        if ($context['current_action'] == 'coppermine')
$current_action = 'coppermine';

Also I don't really care if people email me stuff as long as I ask for it and they are polite about it

[thetzfreak]

For some reason my template.index.php doesn't have this line =\

Code Select Expand

if (in_array($context['current_action'], array('search', 'admin', 'calendar', 'profile', 'mlist', 'register', 'login', 'help', 'pm')))
Maybe it's in another file? My template is SMFone. Thanks for the help in advance.

Thanks.

This method is only for Core, Amber and PnPn.  Those themes are using this tab method.

I want to add an menu option named as "Banner Exchange"
I want to show the forum header and footer and it show a page named as banner.htm between header and footer , what can I do?

[JayBachatero]

To add a menu item take a look at first post.  To add something to header and footer add include('banner.htm');  Add it to the template_main_above and teplate_main_bellow functions in index.template.php

[tarkhorani]

thanks, I understand how to add option, but I want when click on it show this:

page = {
Header of forum
banner.htm
footer of forum
}

You physically get that displayed you mean?

[JayBachatero]

You can use this

if (isset($_REQUEST['action']) && $_REQUEST['action'] == 'blah')
{
   include('blah.txt');
}
