Geeklog Forums

Okay, I need to remove and modify some of the menu items...the built in ones. Instead of saying say "Calendar" I need it to say something else. After researching this on the site, I have seen instructions to modify the header.thtml since this is where the varialble is called. BUT where is the variable {menu_elements} defined? I have looked for 3 hours now. Help

If you want to change the name of the menu item - the label - then you can change that in the language file. For core Geeklog components each language file is is under the geeklog_dir/language directory. Plugins typically have their own language file.

What if I wanted to add a new item to the menu?

you'll need to edit the header.thtml file in your theme. public_html/layout/XSilver/header.thtml assuming XSilver is your theme.

You will have to hardcode the new links in rather then using the {menu_elements} variable. Just add them in the header.thtml. Example: Remove {menu_elements} and add <a href="http://www.yourpage.com/something/">Menu Item</a> for each one of the menu items you wish to have. The {menu_elements} variable is not currently setup to easily redefine the menu links. If you want to just change the text then use the language file, other wise you will have to code them in. Hope that helps!

That did the trick. Thanks all!
