custom menu entries: Parse error
Jack
Anonymous
Hi all
Bit of a newb to PHP, so this may be missing somthing obvious.
I'm trying to add custom menu entries, but if I uncomment 'custom' in config.php I just get a parse error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting '
' in /home/fhlinux209/s/staumc.co.uk/user/config.php on line 210
the appropriate section of config.php is
$_CONF['menu_elements'] = array
(
'home', // link to homepage
//'contribute', // contribute "submit a story" link
//'plugins', // links added by plugins, like {plg_menu_elements}
'custom' // for custom links (see lib-custom.php)
'calendar', // link to the site calendar
'search', // link to advanced search
'prefs', // link to user's preferences
);
(line 210 is 'calendar'
This appears to happen irrespective of what I have in system/lib-custom.php
I started with:
function CUSTOM_menuEntries ()
{
global $_CONF, $_USER;
$myentries[] = array ('url' => $_CONF['site_url'] . '/mediagallery/index.php',
'label' => 'Gallery');
$myentries[] = array ('url' => $_CONF['site_url'] . '/forum/index.php/forum=1',
'label' => 'Forum');
$myentries[] = array ('url' => $_CONF['site_url'] . '/staticpages/index.php/IntrotoClub',
'label' => 'About Us');
$myentries[] = array ('url' => $_CONF['site_url'] . '/staticpages/index.php/Meets',
'label' => 'Meets');
$myentries[] = array ('url' => $_CONF['site_url'] . '/staticpages/index.php/KitList',
'label' => 'Kit List');
$myentries[] = array ('url' => $_CONF['site_url'] . '/staticpages/index.php/Socials',
'label' => 'Socials');
$myentries[] = array ('url' => $_CONF['site_url'] . '/staticpages/index.php/commitee',
'label' => 'Commitee');
$myentries[] = array ('url' => $_CONF['site_url'] . '/staticpages/index.php/docs',
'label' => 'Documents');
$myentries[] = array ('url' => $_CONF['site_url'] . '/links/',
'label' => 'Links');
return $myentries;
}
I think that's the right syntax, though there were no explicit examples of how to do multiple entries, so in case I'd got it wrong I commented out most of them:
function CUSTOM_menuEntries ()
{
global $_CONF, $_USER;
$myentries[] = array ('url' => $_CONF['site_url'] . '/mediagallery/index.php',
'label' => 'Gallery');
/*
[snip]
*/
return $myentries;
}
still no luck.
any help much appreciated.

Like a comma missing from the end of the line 'custom' :doh:
As a side note, there is no comma on the line end in the stock custom.php.
This is not a problem as it is the last line in the array, but if someone without a good knowledge of php (i.e. me) reorders the entries then it causes problems. Perhaps a note to this effect could be added? or perhaps this would count as too much spoonfeeding, it is possible to have too many comments in a file after all.
