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

[JayBachatero]

This step "1. In index.template.php".  Use the first method and remove the other $current_action you added.

      echo ($current_action == 'shop' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '
            <td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'shop' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
               <<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=shop">shop</a>
            </td>' , $current_action == 'shop' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : ''
yet no shop tab is appearing

[JayBachatero]

You seem to be missing a (;) at the end of the last line.

[JayBachatero]

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

Remove the extra <

The tab is not showing at all or what?

[randomdood]

well from the start the tab button (shop) has been showing but not in any other themes.

[JayBachatero]

You need to edit the rest of your themes to add the buttons/tabs.

Great tutorial, added a few tabs with no problems... except one, and I'm not sure what all I'm doing wrong.

Using TinyPortal, and want to add a tab for the download page.  (The action is tpmod;dl=0).

So, I modified this line:

Code Select Expand

if (in_array($context['current_action'], array('Bookmarks','chat','tpmod;dl=0','search', 'admin', 'calendar', 'profile', 'mlist', 'register', 'login', 'pm', 'forum', 'tpadmin')))

And added this further down:

Code Select Expand

// Add a download tab (tpmod;dl=0)
echo ($current_action == 'tpmod;dl=0' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '
<td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'tpmod;dl=0' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=tpmod;dl=0">Files</a>
</td>' , $current_action == 'tpmod;dl=0' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';

It does work.  I see the tab, and it sends me to the right page.  What it's not doing is showing as the "active tab" if you get me.  The others that I've added work properly (bookmarks, chat and so on.)

I'm sure it's something stupid, but I'm missing it -- anyone have an idea?

Gah, I found my problem.  Apparently TP does a lil switcheroo on the actions somewhere.

Slight modification got it working:

Code Select Expand

// Add a download tab tpmod;dl=0
echo ($current_action=='dlmanager' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '
<td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'dlmanager' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=tpmod;dl">Files</a>
</td>' , $current_action == 'dlmanager' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';

I had to change most of them to "dlmanager", except for the one that's actually being sent when you hit the tab.

i get it!!

[randomdood]

how do you add a image to it?

[JayBachatero]

Add the image tag right before the <a href...

[randomdood]

so that just the <img src="url">

[JayBachatero]

Correct.

[randomdood]

didn't work

[JayBachatero]

Let me see the code you have now.

[randomdood]

Code Select Expand

//Begin SMFShop 2.0 (Build 8) MOD code
//loadLanguage("shop");
echo ($current_action == 'shop' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '
<td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'shop' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
<img src="http://switchfoot.cknetworx.com/smf/themes/autumndark1-1-RC2/images/english/shop.gif><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=shop">Shop</a>
</td>' , $current_action == 'shop' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';
//END SMFShop MOD code

now the text that said shop isn't even linked to anything
