Current_action help anyone?

[żεχเ๏ภ]

Hi, I installed several mods, SMF groups, blogs, staff page, tags... Each of these had their on button on the navigation bar, but I merged most of them in my new button group called "Social Centre" (as sub buttons).

Unfortunately, I don't know how to change the current action so that when someone goes to SMF groups, it points to social centre... So for the moment it'll get point to the homepage..

And advice? Thanks, Jason.

Look for "$current_action" in Subs.php, and how it is determined.

./Sources/Subs.php

Code (Lines 4122 -> 4137) Select Expand

// Figure out which action we are doing so we can set the active tab.
// Default to home.
$current_action = 'home';

if (isset($context['menu_buttons'][$context['current_action']]))
$current_action = $context['current_action'];
elseif ($context['current_action'] == 'search2')
$current_action = 'search';
elseif ($context['current_action'] == 'theme')
$current_action = isset($_REQUEST['sa']) && $_REQUEST['sa'] == 'pick' ? 'profile' : 'admin';
elseif ($context['current_action'] == 'register2')
$current_action = 'register';
elseif ($context['current_action'] == 'login2' || ($user_info['is_guest'] && $context['current_action'] == 'reminder'))
$current_action = 'login';
elseif ($context['current_action'] == 'groups' && $context['allow_moderation_center'])
$current_action = 'moderate';
Basically, you add your own condition, if it's true, you set $current_action = 'button_title'; which a couple lines down, makes that button active.

I did so... What exactly do I modify? 

Code Select Expand

// Figure out which action we are doing so we can set the active tab.
// Default to home.
$current_action = $modSettings['sp_portal_mode'] == 3 && empty($context['standalone']) && empty($context['disable_sp']) ? 'forum' : 'home';

//Blog Button - Adk Portal Customizers
$current_action = isset($_REQUEST['blog']) ? 'blogs' : 'home';

if (isset($context['menu_buttons'][$context['current_action']]))
$current_action = $context['current_action'];
elseif ($context['current_action'] == 'search2')
$current_action = 'search';
elseif ($context['current_action'] == 'theme')
$current_action = isset($_REQUEST['sa']) && $_REQUEST['sa'] == 'pick' ? 'profile' : 'admin';
elseif(empty($context['disable_sp']) && ((isset($_GET['board']) || isset($_GET['topic']) || in_array($context['current_action'], array('unread', 'unreadreplies', 'recent', 'stats', 'who'))) && in_array($modSettings['sp_portal_mode'], array(1, 3))))
$current_action = 'forum';
elseif ($context['current_action'] == 'register2')
$current_action = 'register';
elseif ($context['current_action'] == 'login2' || ($user_info['is_guest'] && $context['current_action'] == 'reminder'))
$current_action = 'login';
elseif ($context['current_action'] == 'groups' && $context['allow_moderation_center'])
$current_action = 'moderate';

$context['menu_buttons'][$current_action]['active_button'] = true;

if (!$user_info['is_guest'] && $context['user']['unread_messages'] > 0 && isset($context['menu_buttons']['pm']))
{
$context['menu_buttons']['pm']['alttitle'] = $context['menu_buttons']['pm']['title'] . ' [' . $context['user']['unread_messages'] . ']';
$context['menu_buttons']['pm']['title'] .= ' [<strong>' . $context['user']['unread_messages'] . '</strong>]';
}
}

Unfortunately, you didn't give me enough information. If you'd like to attach your Subs.php, I can try and do it for you, on a tight time schedule right now.

Note: pm, mlist, sgroups, blogs all need to point to social centre. It's id is "social".

Sorry for the late reply, I had to run out of the house.
