Geeklog and Gallery 1.4.4pl4
Hi all, I know this is a simple question but I have been hunting for the answer and haven't found it :-(
How do I add a link in GL to my gallery site? Ie I can get to the gallery fine by the url, but I would like a like in GL instead. User security etc seems to all be okay and integrated, its just the link I can't figure out.

I edit my Geeklog Config.php file and unremarked the 'custom' line around line 210 (in my Notepad+ editor)
// List of entries that you want to see in the site's menu bar (if you're using
// a theme that uses the {menu_elements} variable in its header.thtml).
// Choose any combination of the following (order here = order in the menu).
$_CONF['menu_elements'] = array
(
// 'home', // link to homepage
'contribute', // contribute / "submit a story" link
'links', // link to the links section (aka web resources)
'polls', // link to past polls
'calendar', // link to the site calendar
'search', // link to advanced search
'stats', // link to site stats
// 'prefs', // link to user's preferences
//'plugins' // links added by plugins, like {plg_menu_elements}
'custom' // for custom links (see lib-custom.php)
and then I edit the lib-custom.php found in the system folder with the following starting around line 348 (again in Notepad+) :
function CUSTOM_menuEntries ()
{
global $_CONF, $_USER;
$myentries = array ();
$myentries[] = array ('url' => $_CONF['site_url'] . '/gallery/',
'label' => 'Photos');
return $myentries;
}
Where as Photos now shows up as a link in my menu bar taking users to www.mywebsite.com/gallery.

I removed comments in both the config.php and lib-custom.php but no links appear. All that appears is a bullet symbol appearing at the end of the menu list when the web page displays. This shows that the function is executing.
I removed the sample code of adding the personal calendar. All that is left is the Gallery code and the return statement. I am using a Gallery setup.
Please help anyone. I'm running out of options.
btw, I'm testing 1.3.11 prior to roll-out.

Well, I figured it out. I was using the new "Contemporary" template and the header.thml file was using {allowed_menu_elements} instead of {menu_elements}.A quick change and it worked fine.

Work because you want to...
Not because you have to.
