Website Button

[ShadowStriker]

Works great thanks!

[jake1981]

Okay, it seems that there has been a lot of speak about my MOD, sorry I've been coding new MODs..
Yeah, I haven't escaped from country, I've just been busy while creating more stuff..

Let's answer some questions now:

1) I cannot see website button
It has been designed to work ONLY on themes default, classic and babylon. Themes that do not come with "stock" SMF are not supported, support is easy to add for other themes, but you need to do this hand and I'm far too busy to help you out with this, if you have knowledge of PHP you should be able to do this really easily, just check what my MOD added to stock themes and copy similar stuff to your custom theme..

2) I cannot see website button settings in "Features and settings" of admin center!!
Setup has initially been only for supported languages, check out my MOD's page to see what languages are supported.. For non supported languages my button will show (but uses english) but setup won't show to other languages than supported. You can add support for other languages by copying and translating stuff added by my MOD from file modSettings.english.php. Check out what my MOD added to there and translate it to your own language file modSettings.swedish.php for e.g. if you use swedish as your boards language.. File is located in boarddir/Themes/default/languages

3) I want it to say something else than "Website"
Okay, for default theme, go to boarddir/Themes/defaut/languages and open up file index.english.php (or index.yourlanguage.php) and find

Code Select Expand


$txt['websiteButton_txt'] = 'Website';
$txt['websiteButtonAlt_txt'] = 'Website';


from near end of file. Change 'Website' on both to what you want it to say..

And if you use classic or babylon, go to boarddir/Themes and then babylon or classic(which one you use) and there images and english(or what is chosen language). There you find file websiteButton.gif, edit this image or replace it with button image of your choice (you need to keep same name and picture must be in GIF format)

4) I want to add more buttons
Try my chatroom button MOD. It adds another button and gives even more settings (you can hide it from guests and you can make link to open into new window) and can be manipulated like this button, when you edit language texts, just find chatroom instead of website to change settings of chatroom button

5) I want my website button to open to new window
Open index.template.php in your theme's directory and find function show_websitebutton()
from there and edit text where it creates the link (looks similar to this <a href="'..).
Before > in section starting with <a href add this:

Code Select Expand


target="_blank"


Okay, and before anyone edits their files: take backup, if you mess it, it's a lot easier to return backups instead of fixing a mess..

And someone sayed that people should change texts in modSettings.english.php to change text "Website", changing texts there will change titles used in "Features and settings", the look of button will not change..

Amazing Mod, works for me. Would work on the "Website" & change the name of it, may be "Home"

Looks just like what I want to do, thanks!

Now if I can get it to work.
I did download it and then tried to install it.
Then I got this message.
I am running SMF 1.1.3 is that why?

Are you using possibly german language on your forum? You can safely apply mod even with this error, but I'll check my mod back later, it seems that test is failed with german translation that should be optional, but I might have been sloppy with it

it installed fine on 1.1.4 but i cannot see the website tab
i set up the link right...but it doesnt show.

ive scoured my admin panel and cant find anything that says "allow website button" or the like lol
im aware that its for 1.1.3 but there really cant be so much coding difference as to stop the mod without showing an error message.
anything i can do? lol

EDIT: works now...kinda weird...lol

Delete the repeating code in index.template.php  that file starting with show_websitebutton() or post the file here..

How do I modify files?

[eleven0]

Thank you, already fixed it.

[romuba]

Worked first time and perfectly for me - thank you very much.

[romuba]

is there a way that instead of it saying "website" can I make it say something else?

Try this...
look for file boarddir/Themes/default/languages/ModSettings.english.php
then look for $txt['websiteButton_title'] = 'Website';
and chnage the word Website to suit your needs.

I also tried it and nothing changed. Is there something that I am missing? I changed it to read: $txt['websiteButton_title'] = 'St Matthew's Website';

[Jade Elizabeth]

try 'St Matthew/'s Website'

[romuba]

I made the change as you, Alundra, suggested but still the button shows as Website.

hold on lemme see where i changed mine

[Jade Elizabeth]

$txt['websiteButton_txt'] = 'Jades-World';  <found it

/Themes/default/languages/index.english.php

[romuba]

Correct, that's where I changed it too, as mentioned above; "I changed it to read: $txt['websiteButton_title'] = 'St Matthew's Website';" but the tab on the forum didn't change, even after I added the / .

[Jade Elizabeth]

$txt['websiteButton_txt'] = 'Jades-World';
$txt['websiteButton_title'] = 'St Matthew's Website';

well now i see the difference
you edited the wrong part darls lol

[romuba]

Thanks, I will see if I can fix it...

[romuba]

Alundra, there is no $txt['websiteButton_txt'] in my index.english.php file, must I add it in, and if so exactly where?
