Geeklog Forums

I've tried everything including going into the config, lib, faq and nothing works to add nor amend menus!!!! what can I do?

Which menues? Up top? Contribute, support, etc. I do believe you can edit the wording in the language file which is usually outside of the root directory (not in the publice directory). As for adding links to the nav, I believe that can be done in the header.thtml which is in the layout directory under the theme you oare using (like professional stock theme).

May want to be more specific. The menus in geek log for the most part easy to customize.

As for what jordydme says, those are the places to look. Examples:

/home/yourlogin/language/english.php - for the langauge file
/home/yourlogin/geeksite/layout/professional

You will need to understand some HTML to edit the header.thtml file. A lot of the menus in top bar (assuming professional theme) are based on the variable {menu_elements} and {plg_menu_elements}. Do a search on those on this site.

As for best practice, you shoudl make a copy of the professional directory and modify from that so you always have backup to copy the original thtml files from easily. For instance, I'm doing a new design, I called the directory 2006 and copied the professional theme files into that and modify there.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply. Heres the problem: when I go into header.thtml and as I do see {menu_elements} What should I do from there? Where do I put my links in the brackets? I read where I was to replace the {menu_elements} with my links well I did this and nothing happened. I'm trying to replace the side menu Not the top So in essence I'd like to monitor the topic and menu items. Can you give me a line code example? Thanks again!!!
