HELP WITH CODING NEEDED! need help with editing/adding navigation bars

[rspsloading]

how do you add or edit navigation bars ? i have pro hosting

[SSimple Team]

You should explain your question a little better. Not well understood.

[busterone]

I believe the "pro hosting" he is referring to is with smfnew.
@rspsloading
You will need to contact the support at smfnew.  Simplemachines.org does not offer any hosting.

well i asked for help there but they said this site supports with those kind of problems and helps me with the coding? but my question is how can i change the navigation bars at the top of the page like HOME,FORUM,ADMIN ect? any help?

[Illori]

who exactly is your host? do you have full access to all your files?

[rspsloading]

idk who my host is but i got pro hosting which you pay for so you have full access to all files so? i have full access..

[Illori]

pro hosting is not a host. what is the url to your forum? if it is at smfnew you need to use their support forum as smf does not support their install

[rspsloading]

my forums is rspsloading.com but smfnew but i asked for support but they said to come here to ask for support on coding with navigation bars

[rspsloading]

i have full access to FTP, SMF files, phpMyAdmin can anyone tell me how i can edit/add navigation bars im using smf2

[Illori]

well i edited the help bar and chaned it to donate through filezilla and it updated but i went on site and now it just disapeared and there is no help bar or donate :S? i removed cache

[MrGrumpy]

When you edited the help button to donate did you actually create a new text string for donate?

When you edit

Code Select Expand

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

To

Code Select Expand

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

You need to edit the themes language file and add the $txt['donate'] to it

If the theme doesn't have its own language file (BlackStorm/languages/ThemeStrings.english.php) you will need to create a languages folder in the theme and add the ThemeStrings.english.php in it with your custom language string like

Code Select Expand

$txt['donate'] = 'Donate';

Plus depending on how exactly you edited the code in subs.php depends on if the button will work.

[Illori]

actually i am not sure that would work, if the theme does not already call for that file i am not sure it can read it. you can put the text in index.english.php in the default/language folder or you might be able to put it in modifications.english.php.

[rspsloading]

erm i didt even understand what you said its really confusing erm can you pm me and can we figure a way you can help me out or not?

[MrGrumpy]

Illori ANY theme can call a custom language file

but i did forget 1 part

To call a custom language file you need to edit index.template.php too

Changing

Code Select Expand

/* Set the following variable to true if this theme requires the optional theme strings file to be loaded. */
$settings['require_theme_strings'] = false;

To

Code Select Expand

/* Set the following variable to true if this theme requires the optional theme strings file to be loaded. */
$settings['require_theme_strings'] = true;

[Illori]

right which most themes have that as false so your original suggestion would fail.

[MrGrumpy]

@Illori - Yes thats why I just said I forgot that bit, sorry I'll try to be more perfect in future.

@rspsloading - what was the code you used for the button, can you post it here please.
