How do i add an extra item to yymenu in Subs.php?

[ken124578]

I want to add a few extra things, like a link to the rules page (rules)

And in the future a link to a FAQ.

What do i have to edit/type and where should i put it?

[Spaceman-Spiff]

just put the html code, but u'll need to escape the quote signs if u're using double quotes for the string
example, if u wanna add a link to rules.php using YaBBImages/rules.gif for the button:
search for

Code Select Expand

   $yymenu = "<a href=\"$scripturl\">$img[home]</a>$menusep<a href=\"$helpfile\" target=\"_blank\">$img[help]</a>$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=search\">$img[search]</a>";add after:

Code Select Expand

   $yymenu .= "$menusep<a href=\"rules.php\"><img src=\"$imagesdir/rules.gif\" alt=\"Rules\" border=\"0\" /></a>";

But what if it's rules.html?

should it then be

Code Select Expand

  $yymenu .= "$menusep<a href=\"rules.html\"><img src=\"$imagesdir/rules.gif\" alt=\"Rules\" border=\"0\" /></a>";



Or should i save it as .php?

as i said before, it's just html code + escaping the quotes
if your file is .html then just change the code to .html, also with the image

How do i create a link to my site's home?

Code Select Expand

     $yymenu .= "$menusep<a href=\"index.php\">Site Home<a>";


Code Select Expand

     $yymenu .= "$menusep<a href=\"\">Site Home<a>";


I tried those and they both don't work.

The first one you type will work, but...  your HTML code is wrong. The <a> is supposed to be </a>

I get this error when i try to do that:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/emperor/public_html/Forum/Sources/Subs.php on line 168

Ok, start over with your original Subs.php.

Search for this:

Code Select Expand

  $yymenu = "<a href=\"$scripturl\">$img[home]</a>$menusep<a href=\"$helpfile\" target=\"_blank\">$img[help]</a>$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=search\">$img[search]</a>";
Now insert this after it:

Code Select Expand

     $yymenu .= "$menusep<a href=\"index.php\">Site Home</a>";

That's the EXACT code if your index.php is in your webserver's root directory.  That will NOT open and index.php in the yabbse installation directory or any other directory on your site.

If by chance you're looking to make a link to the main yabb index.php, that is already in the menu.

ok, but what if i want to have it on the right? (where the logout button is)

[CrazyC]

Insert the line into the group of $yymenu variables where you want it to display.  Each of the other menu lines look very similar to what you are adding and the one you were searching for.  Each $yymenu= line is for each button on your menu, the top of that section being the button all the way on the left and the bottom of the section being on the right.
