Forum Menu

[nathan89]

My forum is located in a sub folder "community".  I have created a Homepage with SSI, what changes do I need to make so that menu has a home and forum tab correctly?

[Tyrsson]

You will need to code that into the subs file. What would you like the tab to say (what label)?

[nathan89]

I would like the homepage to be called "Home" and the Forum to be called "Community".

maybe 
in subs.php

find

Code Select Expand


$buttons = array(
   'home' => array(
    'title' => $txt['home'],
    'href' => $scripturl,
    'show' => true,
    'sub_buttons' => array(
    ),
   ),


add after

Code Select Expand


'Community' => array(
'title' => $txt['community'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=forums',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),


u must edit,ı don't know     =>  'href' => $scripturl . '?action=forums',


and lang file .
$txt['community'] ='Community'

Easiest way to do this is find code below from Subs.php

Code Select Expand


'home' => array(
    'title' => $txt['home'],
    'href' => $scripturl,
    'show' => true,
    'sub_buttons' => array(
    ),
   ),


replace with

Code Select Expand


'frontpage' => array(
    'title' => $txt['home'],
    'href' => 'http://www.url.to.your/frontpage.html',
    'show' => true,
    'sub_buttons' => array(
    ),
   ),
'home' => array(
    'title' => 'Community',
    'href' => $scripturl,
    'show' => true,
    'sub_buttons' => array(
    ),
   ),


This works in case when your forum has only one language.

Always remember to back up the file before making any changes.
