Customizable Home Button


Author: Labradoodle-360
Latest Version: 1.0
Compatible With SMF: 2.0 RC3, 2.0 RC4





Summary

I have seen quite a few requests around lately to add a home button - Which links to their ACTUAL website outside of their forum, so I decided to write up a quick and easy way to do that with no coding necessary. In addition, it is coded fully Source side, so it should work with ALL themes right out of the package!

Simply go to Admin > Management > Modification Settings > Miscellaneous > And enter a URL in "Home Button URL"

By entering a home button URL, you still don't lose a button to your main forum!

Only by request will I make update this mod.

I hate to quibble, but when I installed this on a new site recently (forums for a link directory site I run), I would get an error referring to line 373 in Subs/ManageSettings.php when I tried accessing Core Features, Features and Options, or Modification Settings.

I was running 2.0 RC5 (with it set to emulate RC4) with only 3 other mods - FB Connect, Ad Manager, and I forget the last one. All were installing without errors.

Attach your ManageSettings.php.

I have attached it to this post:


The exact error is:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/foodrati/public_html/leetlink.com/forums/Sources/ManageSettings.phpon line 373


Mods installed: FB Connect, Facebook Like, Ad Management, and Customizable Home Button

It's not a problem with the Customizable Home Button mod.

Take a peak at lines 372-380, it's an issue I've seen before with the Arcade.

But, I went ahead and fixed it for you anyways, use the attached file.

WhiteEagle

Thanks, but I don't have no arcade installed. Must be one of the other mods then.

No...look at the lines I told you to, of your old file.

The code was
// Anyone who would like to add a core feature?
call_integration_hook('integrate_core_features', array(&$core_features)

// arcade = arcade (makes sense, right?)
'arcade' => array(
'url' => 'action=admin;area=arcade',
'settings' => array(
'arcadeEnabled' => 1,
),
),

);

That arcade array piece should have been in the $core_features array ABOVE the integration hook, it's an edit that breaks due to installing the Arcade using Version Emulate for SMF 2.0 RC5.

It also breaks the integration hook.

WhiteEagle

Thanks again.

I might point this out to Niko and Sckilled so they can fix it in their latest version. ;)

I'm sure they'll fix it. It's just a version compatibility issue.

As long as they check their edits from RC3 to RC5 (which I'm sure they will), they'll see it.

But there's no harm in pointing it out, for sure.

Thank you for the wonderful mod!  I thought I'd let everybody know that when I updated my forum from 2.0 RC5 to 2.0 Gold, I had to reinstall all my mods.  This mod installed without issues and using 2.0 RC4 emulation.  Hope this info helps someone!

added this to the arcades issue tracker so I remember to check out which arcade versions it affects.

Can anyone tell me how to make this mod work on 2.02?  Thank you!

Matthew K.

Go to Package Manager -> Advanced and enter "SMF 2.0 RC4" and then try to install the modification, it should work.

I need exactly this, but its not compatible with 2.0.2

U say go to package manager and then...? There is no Advanced tab...

Matthew K.

It is compatible with SMF 2.0.2 using Version Emulate. There isn't an Advanced TAB, it's a link at the bottom of the page. Use "Ctrl F." for "Advanced" if you can't locate it.

Matthew K.

You posted in the wrong topic dude, this is the Customizable Home Button support topic.

Jed C

Great mod but just one question. would it be possible to stop it opening a new tab in the browser ?

Matthew K.

Open Subs.php change "'target' => '_blank'," to "'target' => '_self',". For the 'home' menu item.

Jed C

worked like a charm  8) thank you  ;D

What happened when you tried to install? Did you get errors?

http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Error_in_mod_installation

This is the error I'm getting:
"The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF."
I'm new to SMF and this would be a really useful mod so please update it if you can.
