Still trying to learn these things. How do I add the Roster to the Header so it shows as a link in the header with the Home Forums etc?

You have to edit each theme header file located in themes/*THEME NAME*/template/header.html It starts around line 32 -33 and looks something like this

Code: Select all

    <tr>
      <td align="left">{S_WELCOME}</td>
      <td align="left" class="menubutton">
         <a href="{U_MAININDEX}">{S_HOME}</a>
         <!-- IF S_DOWNLOADS -->
            <img src="{THEME_PATH}/images/dot.gif" alt="" title="" /><a href="{U_DOWNLOADS}"> {S_DOWNLOADS}</a>
            <!-- ENDIF -->
            <img src="{THEME_PATH}/images/dot.gif" alt="" title="" /><a href="{U_FORUMS}"> {S_FORUMS}</a>
            <!-- IF S_GALLERY -->
            <img src="{THEME_PATH}/images/dot.gif" alt="" title="" /><a href="{U_GALLERY}"> {S_GALLERY}</a>
         <!-- ENDIF -->
         <img src="{THEME_PATH}/images/dot.gif" alt="" title="" /><a href="{U_MY_ACCOUNT}"> {S_MY_ACCOUNT}</a>
         <!-- IF S_IS_ADMIN -->
            <img src="{THEME_PATH}/images/dot.gif" alt="" title="" /><a href="{U_ADMININDEX}"> {S_ADMIN}</a>
            <!-- ENDIF -->      
      </td>
      <td align="right"><script language="javascript" src="{THEME_PATH}/systemclock.js"></script> </td>
   </tr>

you could add something like

Code: Select all

<a href="http://your_site.com/index.php?name=WoWRosterDF">Roster</a>


between the lilnes where you want it to appear

I would like to custom name 'Community Forums' which I have managed to do in the main menu, but the header:

Code: Select all

      <table>
         <tr>
            <td class="menubutton"><a href="{U_MAININDEX}">{S_HOME}</a></td>
    <!-- IF S_DOWNLOADS -->
               <td class="menubutton"><a href="{U_DOWNLOADS}">{S_DOWNLOADS}</a></td>
    <!-- ENDIF -->
               <td class="menubutton"><a href="{U_FORUMS}">{S_FORUMS}</a></td>
   <!-- IF S_GALLERY -->
               <td class="menubutton"><a href="{U_GALLERY}">{S_GALLERY}</a></td>
<!-- ENDIF -->
               <td class="menubutton"><a href="{U_MY_ACCOUNT}">{S_MY_ACCOUNT}</a></td>
    <!-- IF S_IS_ADMIN -->
               <td class="menubutton"><a href="{U_ADMININDEX}">{S_ADMIN}</a></td>
    <!-- ENDIF -->
          </tr>
      </table></td>

How do I redefine {S_FORUMS} to read as my custom title?

Thanks in advance.

In theme.php S_FORUMS => ForumsLANG. So you will want to edit the value for ForumsLang.

Open up /language/english/main.php

Code: Select all

    define('_ForumsLANG','Community Forums'); 

Change Community Forums to whatever you wish the link to say.

Post in the theme subfourm next time. =)

I just replied to an existing post I found when I did a forum search and had nothing at all to do with the original thread post. It suited my question so I replied to it.

However, being the clueless sort I prolly would have bungles it if I HAD posted the original question anyhow

Thanks for the reply, the answer fixed several issues I was having.

Glad to hear you got it all worked out.
