I added many custom tabs the way you said but it doesnt work well because the little arrow on top of the tab which shows your current page doesnt follow the custom tabs.

For example i created a custom tab for portal and gallery but when i am in the gallery the tab arrow shows that i am still in the forum.

How can i make the arrow to follow the custom tabs?

Is there any pdx expert out there to help us with our simple questions? because i dont think the coder of the mod supports the help requests anymore.

Hi PLAYBOY,

not sure what you've done so far but here is what you need to do to get a "current tab" using mods:
look at the (install) xml of the mod to see what needs to be added to the index.template.php menu. There should be two things: the tab and the "work out where we currently are" code.

As this theme differs from the default theme you need to add this code by hand.

First find the "work out where we currently are" code and see what needs to be added to the template. In the index.template.php this code is below

Code Select Expand

// Work out where we currently are.
Most of the times you just need to add the "mod" to one of the lines. Some mods require you to add another if condition.

Secondly you need to add the tab. Use the Help tab code as base and change its txt and its action and current-action parameters (to the one you added above)

That's it

Thank you. can you also look at this one? This is a major issue for me.

I have 11 tabs total on top of the page for a regular member and 13 tabs for admin. Its not able to show all the tabs on iphone and other small screens. Is there a solution for this?

I am currently not able to test this, sorry

I have edited and added the gallery mod tab as below to index.template.php but it still doesnt show the little arrow on the top when i view the gallery

Code Select Expand

// Aeva Media
// Recalculate number of unseen items
global $user_info;

if (!empty($user_info['aeva_unseen']) && $user_info['aeva_unseen'] == -1)
{
global $sourcedir;
require_once($sourcedir . '/Aeva-Subs.php');
aeva_loadSettings();
}

$aeva_unseen = !allowedTo('aeva_access_unseen') || empty($user_info['aeva_unseen']) || $user_info['aeva_unseen'] == -1 ? 0 : $user_info['aeva_unseen'];

if (allowedTo('aeva_access'))
echo ($current_action == 'media' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<div class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</div>' : '', '
<div valign="top" class="maintab_', $current_action == 'media' ? 'active_back' : 'back', '">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=media">', isset($txt['aeva_gallery']) ? $txt['aeva_gallery'] : 'Media', $aeva_unseen ? '</a> <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=media;sa=unseen">[<b>' . $aeva_unseen . '</b>]' : '', '</a>
</div>', $current_action == 'media' ? '<div class="seperator"><!--no content--></div>' : '<div class="seperator"><!--no content--></div>';

It shows the arrow on search button. It doesnt show any arrow on any of the tabs when i go to chess section.



Problem 2-

i cant see the tiled background images behind the moderation (and new album) tabs in my gallery
It shows as broken image link. When i switch to default theme and look at the page source. its trying to load "maintab_active_back.gif" and other maintab images. So i copy that image into my themes images directory but it doesnt load it. Because it tried to load /themes/pdx-dx/images/ folder not the file. Its wierd.

Regarding the tab:

You've still forgot to alter the code below

Code Select Expand

// Work out where we currently are.

I don't want to be rude but I just went to the download page of the mod and there is a Manual Install Instructions for SMF!
It is all there. Select your smf version, go to the index.template.php part of the instructions and look what needs to be done.
To be sure everything else went fine during install you could also check the rest of the code given (especially if there are other theme files which need to be taken care of).
