Adding a Link @ the top pf my page

[Uhura!]

Second question - related to this because it is taking up space in the top menu & I would like to replace it with "Advertise."

How do I remove the facebook link. I don't see it in Subs.php...



I have the SA Facebook Mod. i suspect that's what did it & here are the files. Can you help?:

Uhura,

NO offense, but I don't think that you even bother to read what I write...

and, use the exact text that I listed, including the semicolon, otherwise you'll cause an error

every full line of code must end with a semicolon

As for the facebook...  yes, that is the SA facebook mod. It adds the button via the integration hooks.
For help with a specific mod, please ask in the support thread for that mod.

[Uhura!]

Interesting assumption.

Here's an alternative explanation: I don't know how to write this type of code (- which is why I had to ask for assistance) & I did not know (& still don't know) what a "parens" is.

[Kindred]

it's shorthand for parenthesis as in ( and ) (open parens and close parens)

I understand if you don't fully comprehend coding...   but I did specify that you needed the semicolon....

[Uhura!]

Can anyone help me with this?

I've installed the code which was previously given to me but I can't get the "Advertise" to work when I add the code below to the language file.

$txt['Advertise'] = 'Advertise'

Which part of this is wrong?~>

$txt['related_topics'] = 'Related Topics';
$txt['Advertise'] = 'Advertise'
$txt['ContactUs'] = 'Contact Us'
// END Added by Related Topics

[Kindred]

I already told you three times... YOU NEED A SEMICOLON AT THE END OF EACH LINE!!!!

$txt['Advertise'] = 'Advertise';
$txt['ContactUs'] = 'Contact Us';


So, my assumption seems to be correct. You are not reading what I am writing.

[Uhura!]

I followed all of the instructions you provided. My log out button is gone.

Can you help?

[Colin]

Let's all relax. It was an innocent mistake. As a newer person looking at code it is sometimes hard to pick out the bug. I completely understand where you are coming from, Uhura.

[Uhura!]

Thanks Colin.

I added logout to the lang file, but that did not seem to work.

$txt['related_topics'] = 'Related Topics';
$txt['Advertise'] = 'Advertise';
$txt['Logout'] = 'Logout';
$txt['ContactUs'] = 'Contact Us'

Can you tell me where I am going wrong?


Here's the associated Subs.php code I have

         'login' => array(
            'title' => $txt['login'],
            'href' => $scripturl . '?action=login',
            'show' => $user_info['is_guest'],
            'sub_buttons' => array(
            ),
         ),
                  'Advertise' => array(
            'title' => $txt['Advertise'],
            'href' => $scripturl . '?page=Advertise_at_Our_Mom_Spot',
            'show' => true,
            'sub_buttons' => array(
            ),
         ),
         'ContactUs' => array(
            'title' => $txt['ContactUs'],
            'href' => $scripturl . '?page=Contact_Us',
            'show' => true,
            'sub_buttons' => array(
             ),
         ),
         'register' => array(
            'title' => $txt['register'],
            'href' => $scripturl . '?action=register',
            'show' => $user_info['is_guest'],
            'sub_buttons' => array(
            ),
            'is_last' => !$context['right_to_left'],
         ),
         'logout' => array(
            'title' => $txt['logout'],
            'href' => $scripturl . '?action=logout;%1$s=%2$s',
            'show' => !$user_info['is_guest'],
            'sub_buttons' => array(
            ),
            'is_last' => !$context['right_to_left'],
         ),
     );


      // Allow editing menu buttons easily.
      call_integration_hook('integrate_menu_buttons', array(&$buttons));

[Kindred]

Attach your subs.php

[Uhura!]

Wait - I see it now... it fell off the menu due to spacing. ...Its a little hard to see because it;s white, but it's there...
This is a different matter entirely now.

[Uhura!]

And for non admins, the facebook falls away

[Kindred]

Because of your theme design, you have a limited space for the menu...   And nowou have too many buttons,

[Storman™]

Uhura! - because you have so many buttons the last one is now jumping to the next line as it's simply run out of room.

To get round this you could either:

1) Reduce the amount of padding between the text of each button so that they are more "bunched up". You can do this by reducing the value for the navigation padding in the index.css file

2) Reduce the size of the text in the buttons (probably not a good idea as they look about right as they are).

3) Consider adding an additional side menu in your portal for some of the buttons.

Also,don't forget you are looking at it as an "Admin" and you have extra buttons like "Admin" and "Moderate" which normal members don't have. Consequently, try looking viewing it as a normal member (make a test account) as it might actually be ok for them.

[Uhura!]

I think the answer is to remove one of the other buttons... The Facebook button is the obvious choice.

I asked for help in the topic for the SA Facebook mod. They say it's in "it is in sources/facebook/facebookHooks.php"

Any tips about safely removing the code? (I am SO not a coder )

[Storman™]

Try swapping it over with the one I've attached. Not sure if it will work as I've not tried it, nor do I use that mod, but it should do the trick.

Make sure you keep a backup copy of your existing file (rename it for now).

[Uhura!]

Hi,

Can you tell me if I can use this file with SMF 2.0.6?

After my forum was upgraded, this issue returned.

Thank you!

[NanoSector]

Hi Uhura,

Since mods made for 2.0.5 should still work with 2.0.6 it's probably safe to use that file in 2.0.6, yes

As a suggestion - What about adding the Facebook button as the FB logo somewhere above your menu?

[Uhura!]

Yoshi, I appreciate the reply. The file was used when I had 2.0.4

Question: Have you seen my site? I am asking because of your comment about placing a Facebook button. If not, please click here & then tell me if you have any more advice. Thanks!

[NanoSector]

It should still be fine in 2.0.6

I only looked at your site through the screenshots, I'll take a peek tomorrow to see what I can come up with.
