[joh87swe]

I fixed it, it is an article.

[Mannie_Fine]

I am trying to add a link befor the home button.

but nothing changes, i have this now

Code Select Expand

// Show the [Start] button...
      echo ($current_action == 'start' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '
            <td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'start' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
               <a href="http://www.jakobskruiskruid.com/index.html">Start</a>
            </td>' , $current_action == 'start' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';

Does your site actually have a link that goes to action=start

Could someone here tell me where:

Code Select Expand

$context['current_action'] is defined? Which file?

The reason I'd like to know is because I'd need to add something like:

Code Select Expand

if (in_array($context['current_type'], array('featured', 'categories', 'recent')))
    $current_action = 'library';
to my index.template.php file, so that I can get the right tab to become active when using a non smf part of my site.

[redlightblack]

Never mind. I found it in Load.php, unless I'm wrong...

[IchBin™]

You don't need to add anything to load.php for that. If you already have the action built you can just add library to the current_action array in the index.template.

[redlightblack]

I did do that, but the other script also has several different actions such 'type' which shows in the url as: http://www.mysite.com/?type=categories

By defining type in Load.php the correct tab stays active when in that part of the site. This works with most of the others too. The only ones I haven't gotten just yet are the ones where the array would be numbers. I don't know how to add them with have to add each and every one, which is bad since there are over a thousand and they constantly increasing.

Assuming you're talking about this post.

Yup, that's the one...

EDIT: Never mind.

Its a shame that there isn't a standard file to inherit menus from easily.

I have 15 themes, and have to modify 30 files to add 2 links to the main navbar

[Dragooon]

There will be a better way
But 15 themes and 30 files? Are you sure you counted it correctly?

[chovy]

well, no - that was an exaggeration. it is more like 6 themes (and two files for each theme).

[Dragooon]

How can it be 2 files each theme? All you need to edit is Index.template.

And Yes I am being Sarcastic

[britmovie]

In the beta looking for

if ($context['current_action'] == 'search2')
      $current_action = 'search';

to add a button as in thread but cant find it in index.template.php?

is it in it or has it been changed?

In 2.0 it got re-located to one of the source files, off the top of my head, I forget which one, I'd have to look into it for you when I get the chance later tonight.
