.htm link in navigation?

[ticketyboo72]

I successfully added a link to my website on my forum, and it works great, but when I try to add a link to my chat room, it doesn't show up.  Would it be because the link ends in .htm?  If so, is there some kind of a fix so I can get the link to work?

you'll need to be a little more specific.

Where/how are you trying to add a link?

This is what I'm trying to add in the Subs.php file: 

Code Select Expand

{
$buttons = array(
'chat' => array(
'title' => $txt['chat'],
'href' => 'http://minstrelsdream.110mb.com/chat.htm',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),

I'm just wondering if the .htm extension is what's causing the problem here with the link not showing up.

Hi ticketyboo72,

I am working on the same kind of thing over at:

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=234816.0

Mine works, I am just not an expert so I can't tell you if it works right.

Here is a side by side of what you have on the top and what I have on the bottom.

Code Select Expand


$buttons = array(
'chat' => array(
'title' => $txt['chat'],
'href' => 'http://minstrelsdream.110mb.com/chat.htm',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),

$buttons = array(
'northhigh' => array(
'title' => 'North High',
'href' => 'http://northhigh.info',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),
'home' => array(


I don't think it is a problem with your .htm extension because I had it working with .htm .html .php and even .txt!

My question is where do you define what is in the var $txt['chat']

As you can see in mine that I just used a literal.  What if you change the

Code Select Expand


'title' => $txt['chat'],


To just...

Code Select Expand


'title' => 'chat',


Give it a try if you want, maybe it will work for you like it is for me.
