[RC3]Active tab on custom page

[zamg0d1]

Hello,

I've made my own newsletter system (very basic) and I included the header of the forums using SSI but now it shows Home as active. But is it possible to make the Newsletter button as active? That would make it more nice to see where you really are.

And of course if it's possible to edit the navigation so it will show My Forums >> Newsletters of something?

I hope it's possible

Scroll near the bottom, and you'll see if (blah blah) current_action = 'this'

Create one by copying one of them, and setting the correct action name.

/e Should have stated, this is in ./Sources/Subs.php

Well, the problem is I made a whole page by myself in another folder so I don't know if that solution will work? But I will look

Did you integrate it into the site using an action to locate the page?

[zamg0d1]

I just made the page and integrated stuff of SMF into my own page and added a link to my system, not integrated in SMF itself. So it's not action= but just in another folder...

Forums are:
http://mh.gaming-freak.nl/forum/

And my system is
http://mh.gaming-freak.nl/news/

I guess you could still do it, but it'll cause you to add something extra to the page to trigger off the action for tabs.  You're better off just adding an action and a page to the sources folder though.

/e There's a MOD for it if you don't wanna do it yourself.

[zamg0d1]

Ah you mean the Custom Page + Tab mod? But will it accept PHP? Because I use PHP in the system...

[IceXaos]

Probably, though I cannot answer for sure.  I create all of my extra pages manually.

Okay, I'll be nice and make a small tutorial for it.  Give me about 10-15 mins and I'll post back with a link.

Ah thank you, really I'll appreciate it! I ow you this one.

It's a two step process.

On your page you need to define $context['current_action'] so SMF knows which page you are viewing.

Code Select Expand


$context['current_action'] = 'newsletter';


Then in Subs.php that value needs to be set as $current_action

Find:

Code Select Expand


elseif ($context['current_action'] == 'groups' && $context['allow_moderation_center'])
$current_action = 'moderate';


and add after:

Code Select Expand


elseif ($context['current_action'] == 'newsletter';
$current_action = 'newsletter';


Note: the name of the button array in this case should be "newsletter" for it to work

Here's how you can set it up inside the forum itself, and use your PHP.

Hopefully not flamed for sticking it there.  I couldn't post it where it belonged.

If you're good now, please tick this solved.
