[1.1] How to add tabs to Core (NDT)?

[Murdoc_LaCN]

ok well my themes that im using is the standard SMF themes the Dark black and that doesn't have a template.php in it :S

but the default has lots of them in if anyone could point me here is the screenshot

[JayBachatero]

Your theme must have an index.template.php file.  Sure you looking at the right directory?

[Murdoc_LaCN]

ok well this is the default theme on my forums




this is the theme

They're variations on the default, thus don't use their own index.template.php, just copy the defaults copy into that directory, or edit the defaults copy (but I'd personally recommend the former).

hi thanks for that but can you still point to me which 1 must i Edit and i think i would like to keep it that was as we have 5 types of skins

so pretty plz could you point it out :O and what must i edit ... i really need your help

[Gary]

Regardless of how many themes you have, the file you edit will always be index.template.php. But in your case, some of those five themes might have their own copy of it so you'd need to edit all copies of index.template.php.

The first post explains what you need to do get your links working.

Hello,

I administrate a forum for our World of Warcraft guild, and it uses SMF Gallery.  I have added a new tab called 'Characters' that links to a category within SMF Gallery.  I did this by copying and modifying the Gallery tab.

However, when a user clicks on the Characters tab the link works fine, but the Gallery tab highlights instead of the Characters tab.

Is there any way to get the Characters tab to highlight properly?

Here is the SMF Gallery code for the tab:

Code Select Expand

// Show the [gallery] button.
if ($context['allow_smfgallery_view'])
echo ($current_action=='gallery' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '<td class="maintab_off_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' , '
<td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'gallery' ? 'active_back' : 'off_back' , '">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=gallery">' , $txt['smfgallery_menu'] , '</a>
</td>' , $current_action == 'gallery' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '<td class="maintab_off_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>';

Here is the custom code for the Characters tab:

Code Select Expand

// Show the [characters] button.
if ($context['allow_smfgallery_view'])
echo ($current_action=='characters' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '<td class="maintab_off_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' , '
<td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'characters' ? 'active_back' : 'off_back' , '">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=gallery;cat=5">' , $txt['characters'] , '</a>
</td>' , $current_action == 'characters' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '<td class="maintab_off_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>';

Any help would be greatly appreciated

[Gary]

That's because SMF still thinks it's the Gallery since you have the action=gallery;cat=5.

EDIT***

I cant seem to get certain things to work using SSI unless the www. is in the URL, why is this?

Hello

Im a rookie to the net nevermind coding.  I want to add one tab which links to an outside site.  Ive read the topic all the way through but im still stuck!  Ive managed to complete the 1. first method  but i cannot find the code anywhere for step 2.
Nearest code to it is;
// Show the [home] button.
   echo '
         <td class="main-navigation"><a href="', $scripturl, '">' , $txt[103] , '</a></td>';

Which is obviously wrong!  My forum is snowforum.co.uk

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks 

[IchBin™]

Not all themes are the same, and to me it appears you are not using the default theme? $script = the base URL to your forum. So if your forum is snowforum.co.uk then the link you posted above would be translated to this.

Code Select Expand

<a href="http://snowforum.co.uk/index.php>Home</a>

If you want to point a link to somewhere else just change the code:

Code Select Expand

// Show the [home] button.
   echo '
         <td class="main-navigation"><a href="', $scripturl, '">' , $txt[103] , '</a></td>';

To something like this:

Code Select Expand

// Show the [Google] button.
   echo '
         <td class="main-navigation"><a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a></td>';

[snowforum]

Thanks for quick reply, ive done this and it worked.  My home tab is now the link for my outside site, i think i would prefer this to remain the forum home though.  Im still stuck on how to add an extra tab.
Thanks

[IchBin™]

Are you using the Core theme? Judging by the code you posted I'm thinking you are not.

[snowforum]

Im not even sure of whether im using the core theme sorry.

I think this may be it;  Theme Settings - SlickPro: Graphite

[IchBin™]

Well not having the theme download I would prefer that you seek help in the topic for that theme. Here's a link for you.

I found this tutorial and it seemed fairly easy as I am somewhat programmer literate.  However even after I made the changes nothing happened?  I uninstalled the gallery mod and reinstalled it.......with no luck.  Any Ideas about what I am doing wrong?

Thanks for any help you may be able to give me!

Hey, all, i just installed SMF links mod successfully.

Now i want to add a new tag " links " on my forum homepage.

I have an action "links".

Code Select Expand

$current_action = 'links'; after

Code Select Expand

But i still can't see there is a tag "links' display on my homepage.

Below is my template_menu code :

Code Select Expand

// Show the menu up top. Something like [home] [help] [profile] [logout]...

Any help would be greatly appreciate .

Another question :

How can i change the "arcade" tag to " games" ?

Thanks

[sasawawa]

Tried many times but failed .

Help me ,please

[Gary]

Is there a string $txt['smflinks_menu'] in Modifications.language.php file? If there isnt then add it in.

Code Select Expand

$txt['smflinks_menu'] = 'Links'; before the closing ?>

or just replace ' , $txt['smflinks_menu'] , ' with "Links" (without quites) and hard code it in.

For the arcade, you can pretty much do the same.
