Hello,

Since the new SMF, the index.template.php file of my theme changed.
I would like to remove the help button from my menu and add custom buttons.
I searched google and the forums but i can't seem to find a good tutorial. Can anybody help me with removing/adding new buttons to the menus in the php file. (so i can choose which place the button has in the menu?

This is my index.template.php
<?php
// Version: 2.0 RC5; index

/* This template is, perhaps, the most important template in the theme. It
contains the main template layer that displays the header and footer of
the forum, namely with main_above and main_below. It also contains the
menu sub template, which appropriately displays the menu; the init sub
template, which is there to set the theme up; (init can be missing.) and
the linktree sub template, which sorts out the link tree.

The init sub template should load any data and set any hardcoded options.

The main_above sub template is what is shown above the main content, and
should contain anything that should be shown up there.

The main_below sub template, conversely, is shown after the main content.
It should probably contain the copyright statement and some other things.

The linktree sub template should display the link tree, using the data
in the $context['linktree'] variable.

The menu sub template should display all the relevant buttons the user
wants and or needs.

For more information on the templating system, please see the site at:
http://www.simplemachines.org/

Backup the file, in case of cock-ups.

Find this:

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


remove it and hope your members don't want to use it. ;)

Thank you for the replies, 1 more thing

Now the logo is place underneath my menu, But i would like to place the menu underneath the logo and center the menu. How do i do that?

margarett

That is more theme-dependent and you need to check with the author ;)

Rather than removing the code for the button, which is not really a good practice. ::)

Change the value of "show" to false.


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

If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer. If that fails, read the manual.

Why's that, out of curiosity?

[/thread-drift warning]

Kays

Well, if one decides to replace that button in the future and if one forgets what was done to remove it. There will be a bit off head scratching involved to re-add it. Also, by leaving the code intact, there's less chance of an error if it needs to be re-added.

Also, if "show" is a bit more complex, I would recommend that the original line be commented out and a new line be added under it just so there's a place marker in case one wants to revert to how it was originally.


'search' => array(
'title' => $txt['search'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=search',
//'show' => $context['allow_search'],
'show' => false,
'sub_buttons' => array(


But that's just me. ::)

I'm trying to add buttons that link to a custom action in my subs.php, but when i upload it to my ftp, it doesnt show up on the page :|

My action is ?action=donate

If you put the code you're using it's easier for us to check ;)

I can see your logic. :)

I always think "The original's always available. So, why worry".

Good point, though, ta! :)

well i just copy the help one and change everything to my action of donate

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

margarett

Is $txt['donate'] defined in index.english.php?

I tested here and the menu button immediately shows up.

Also, you might need to empty your forum cache since the menu buttons are also cached

@ TheBliveon

Did you add the $txt string to your language files for the string $txt['donate'] ?

Or just use the following if your language is English. Translate it if not.


'donate' => array(
'title' => 'Donate',
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=donate',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
),


@ K@ The average admin doesn't always have the original install package available to dig through. ;)

If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer. If that fails, read the manual.

Easy enough to download, though. ;)

However, I defferably see your point. :)
