2 Home Buttons

[S.T.A.R.S]

Is there any possibility of two home buttons. Maybe one of "Website" and one of "Home or Forum"?

Thanks

You can do that (the easy way) by installing the 6 Custom Tabs mod. You can find it by going to the mod site.

It's a simple edit in /Sources/Subs.php.  Find the button array, copy the code to add a button, substitute your url and title.

I was also wondering this, but how would you substitue a hard link, where it usually says href=> scriptural?   in subs.php

[mashby]

So this would be the forum URL:

Code Select Expand

'href' => $scripturl,
I think you can hardcode your site URL something like this:

Code Select Expand

'href' => 'http://www.yoursite.com/',I think that will work out assuming you change the actual destination.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Ok, in /Sources/Subs.php, you find this:

Code Select Expand



// All the buttons we can possible want and then some, try pulling the final list of buttons from cache first.
if (($menu_buttons = cache_get_data('menu_buttons-' . implode('_', $user_info['groups']) . '-' . $user_info['language'], $cacheTime)) === null || time() - $cacheTime <= $modSettings['settings_updated'])
{
$buttons = array(
'home' => array(
'title' => $txt['home'],
'href' => $scripturl,
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
'is_last' => $context['right_to_left'],
),
'help' => array(
'title' => $txt['help'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=help',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),
'search' => array(
'title' => $txt['search'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=search',
'show' => $context['allow_search'],
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),




Copy this where you want the new button:

Code Select Expand



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




...and change it to this:

Code Select Expand



'google' => array(
'title' => 'Google',
'href' => 'http://www.google.com' . '?action=help',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),



If you don't see the new button, comment out this line until you're done:

Code Select Expand



// All the buttons we can possible want and then some, try pulling the final list of buttons from cache first.
// if (($menu_buttons = cache_get_data('menu_buttons-' . implode('_', $user_info['groups']) . '-' . $user_info['language'], $cacheTime)) === null || time() - $cacheTime <= $modSettings['settings_updated'])

So this would be the forum URL:

Code Select Expand

'href' => $scripturl,

I tried that before, but I forgot the comma on the end.  I suck lol

thanx for your help, bud.

I wrote a mod for this? Customizable Home Button. Exactly what you guys are looking for, with no edits necessary.

[S.T.A.R.S]

Mods do not work on my SMF, never have, never will.

Also, i edited the Subs.php but i get given an error within this code after inserting  a new link, but i cant seem to find the errors, anyone help?

$buttons = array(
'website' => array(
'title' => $txt['Website'],
'href' => http://www.mmogamer.co.uk . '?action=help',

'featuresettings' => array(
'title' => $txt['modSettings_title'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=admin;area=featuresettings',
'show' => allowedTo('admin_forum'),

[Illori]

'href' => http://www.mmogamer.co.uk . '?action=help',

should be
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=help',

or i think

'href' =>http://www.mmogamer.co.uk, might work although i did not test that one.

[S.T.A.R.S]

[Matthew K.]

The href for your website button needs to be in single quotes.

[S.T.A.R.S]

Sorry, what do you mean?

thanks

[Matthew K.]

Code (Find) Select Expand

'website' => array(
'title' => $txt['Website'],
'href' => http://www.mmogamer.co.uk, . '?action=help',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),

Code (Replace) Select Expand

'website' => array(
'title' => $txt['Website'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=help',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),

[S.T.A.R.S]

Ok thanks.

I've added it to my code. Overall it is :

Code Select Expand

// All the buttons we can possible want and then some, try pulling the final list of buttons from cache first.
if (($menu_buttons = cache_get_data('menu_buttons-' . implode('_', $user_info['groups']) . '-' . $user_info['language'], $cacheTime)) === null || time() - $cacheTime <= $modSettings['settings_updated'])
{
$buttons = array(
'website' => array(
'title' => $txt['Website'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=help',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),
'home' => array(
'title' => $txt['home'],
'href' => $scripturl,
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
'is_last' => $context['right_to_left'],
),
'help' => array(
'title' => $txt['help'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=help',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),

When i visit my site of www.mmogamer.co.uk/forum . No "website" button is on the navigation bar

thanks for ur help

[Matthew K.]

Did you add the text string $txt['Website'] to a language file? You can't just expect text to show up if you don't define it...

[S.T.A.R.S]

Ah right 

First time using these language files, which one is it which i edit? What code do i insert?

Thanks for ur help i appreciate it

[Matthew K.]

Well, it's probably best to put it in Modifications.english.php

Just add
$txt['Website'] = 'Website';

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Just copy the code for the Google button I posted above and change the name and url.  You can either use a variable without single quotes, or the actual url and name in quotes, but won't work if you mix them.

[Matthew K.]

Krash. - Addressing some flaws I see in your code...

First off, why in the world would you do this...

Code Select Expand

'href' => 'http://www.google.com' . '?action=help',
There is absolutely no need to have ' . '.

Furthermore, if they can't see the button, why comment out caching? That would also throw an error because you didn't comment out the closing if statement bracket, meaning there'll be a floating closing bracket that doesn't link to anything.

If they can't see the button? Use maintenance to clear the file cache, or just change the cache level to 1 or 2. As the menu is only cached on cache level 3.
