Edited subs.php, everything looks great except for ghost link

That is one of many examples... notice that the link to this, which is within my newly modified menu, is also found at the very right of the menu in a link without text... see the red spot to the right of the navigation menu.  How could this be happening?

If you told us how you put that menu there, I guess we'd have a chance.

Maybe even attach the file that you've edited?

Without those, we're working blind, I think.

I attached subs.php for your convenience... thanks.

[kat]

I'm no coder, sadly.

However, 'is_last' => !$context['right_to_left'], says, to me, that the button that that appears at the end of, needs to be the... er... last one.

So, what I've done, is remove that from the previous button, "Register", and added it after the one that's not showing, "Logout".

I also removed "'show' => !$user_info['is_guest']," as you can't log out, if you're a guest.

Keep a copy of the original file, as a backup, in case I've cocked this up.

Didn't work... also, that 'guest' link is needed or the 'Logout' will disappear.

[kat]

It'll only disappear for guests, won't it?

When you say "Didn't work", can you elucidate, please?

1) The 'Logout' disappeared for me, hence members.
2) The ghost link was still there.  It has something to do with my custom menus for sure as it only appears on any of the sub-menu links for the four sports menus.

Editing that file should affect ALL themes, I believe.

How's it looking on others?

That ghost button seems to have disappeared, now.

But, as I'm a guest, I wouldn't see it, anyway.

no the "ghost" link i think is still there, it seems to be that "red" image/thing in the menu bar at the end. looks like the menu item is missing its text and the string is not in the language file.

Well, you see that I have four sports with sub-menus.  Whenever you click on a link in the sub-menu, the mysterious red image shows at the right with a link to the page that you clicked within that sub-menu. 

K@, you can register for free (obviously) to view the issues as a member.

Poo. I just noticed that I put a line one line lower than I'd meant to.

Try this one.

If it's still silly, I'm out of ideas, I'm afraid.

[colby2152]

Actually, it has nothing to do with the sub-menus as other pages will have such an effect...

When I hover over the "Ghost", it's showing this URL:

http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?board=9.0

So, heaven knows what that's about...

[kat]

Just had a thought...

What if you changed this:

'is_last' => !$context['right_to_left'],

to this:

'is_last' => true,

Line 4441.

Sorry. My mistake.

Yeah, the ghost link just shows the url of the page that you are currently at... that's at least if it shows...

what do you want this "link" to show? I am a bit confused as to why you have this item in your menu and what you are trying to achieve by having it there.

It's not in my menu... this mysterious link changed per what page you are on.  I don't want it there at all.

BTW, on a related note, I would rather use the very top navigation menu only.  For example, this SimpleMachines.org forum has two nav bars... a top one and a forum one... I would like to use the top nav bar that has the following links...

you can comment out the menu in subs.php or just remove it totally. make sure you back it up first. I dont know why that "ghost" link is showing up, did you do any changes to your site before it showed up?

Nope.... just edit subs.php.  How do I utilize the top menu instead?

[Illori]

you would have to custom code that type of menu, same idea as what you have done to your forum menu.
