I got a question, I got the button to work, it's an upload script, so now I link that button to an Upload.php page in Sources.
But that's not the upload page I want to use, so what code should I use to link to that page?
I was thinking about an <iframe> html code, but than the layout get's all messed up, I need it to appear where the other pages appear, center of my forum...

[deziner]

Hi I would like to put links above everything at the top of the page. The site is http://www.amputee-center.com/forum/ [nofollow]  The links would be for the reat of the site likecontact us pg1 pg2 etc. They will all be external links what file do I modify and where do I modify it?

[Gary]

Just change the <a href=" tag to contain the external URL.

// That says corn Bart
echo'
<td valign="top" class="maintab_back">
<a href="http://babysimpson.co.uk">The Cutest Baby</a>
</td>'';


Should to the trick.

Thanks for all the info! 

I have only one question. I made a new menu item "Hall of Fame" and when i go on that page, the "Home" and "Hall of Fame" button are selected, which should only be the "Hall of Fame" button.

Any idea what is wrong? Hope someone can help me!

in the index.template i have this:

Code Select Expand

//Hall of fame menu button
if ($context['current_action'] == 'halloffame')
$current_action = 'halloffame';
echo ($current_action=='halloffame' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '
<td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'halloffame' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=halloffame">Hall of Fame</a>
</td>' , $current_action == 'halloffame' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';

in the halloffame.php file i have this:

Code Select Expand

<?php
if (!defined('SMF'))
die('Hacking attempt...');

function halloffame() {
// This is gonna be needed...
loadTemplate('halloffame');
}

in the halloffame.template i have this:

Where to add those files ??

[Gary]

There was no need to quote that. Are you trying to add a gallery to your forum, because you can just install one of the many galleries on the Mod Site.

[shumar]

I need hall of fame, not gallery...

[Gary]

Drop halloffame.php into the Sources directory and halloffame.template.php into the Default theme's folder.

[shumar]

hm...
Does someone try this hall of fame every time I click it send me to index.php

[Gary]

You'll need to add the action call to it in index.php of your forum's root.

[Kolya]

I want to call up a certain SMF thread from a custom core tab.
I got it working so far that the thread is loaded but the tab is not being activated.
Or when I add a custom action after the threads URL the tab gets activated but the thread is not being loaded.

I need a bit of help here.

index.template.php

Code Select Expand


echo '
<td class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'welcome' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
<a href="', $boardurl, '/index.php/topic,109.0.html', '">' , $txt[119] , '</a>
</td>';


[IchBin™]

You'll have to add some custom PHP to detect your location.
Change the number 5 to the number of your topic.

Code Select Expand

if (isset($_GET['topic']) && $_GET['topic'] == 5)
$current_action = 'topic';

In your button code put the action as topic.

[Kolya]

Thanks a lot, that worked great.  :)

[IchBin™]

If your topic isn't for core we would appreciate if you'd make your own topic thanks.

[shumar]

I need little more help.

Code Select Expand

//Hall of fame menu button
if ($context['current_action'] == 'halloffame')
$current_action = 'halloffame';
echo ($current_action=='halloffame' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '
<td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'halloffame' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
<a href="./hall_of_fame-p8.html">Hall of Fame</a>
</td>' , $current_action == 'halloffame' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';

Only Home button is highlighted not Hall of Fame. What I need to change ??

[IchBin™]

Its because in your actual URL it has to say http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?action=halloffame for it to highlight. Since your link is external to SMF (./hall_of_fame-p8.html) it will not highlight when you are on that page.
