Alright, so i know how to do the whole menu admin thing and make stories and topics and the like. But how would I make a Menu Item that links to a page that shows all the stories in a specific topic? And not just list them because I've figured that out, but I mean show them all as if they were on the index page.

The link itself is obvious, I guess - just take it from the Topics block. Then have a look at the function CUSTOM_menuEntries in system/lib-custom.php. It contains smaple code that adds two new entries to the menu bar. You need to enable that function (it's commented out) and you need to add an entry called 'custom' to the list of menu items in the Configuration.

I un-commented it out (you just remove the {}'s correct?) but now the page won't render. I don't know if it's because of this or if it's just being dumb for awhile. ill check again later.

aww man, now it's RIGHT *censored*ed up.. i put hours into this site and now it's just gone pretty much... here's the web address if you can help www.blurrypron.com/index1.php

so that section of lib-custom now looks like this:

function CUSTOM_menuEntries ()
{
global $_CONF, $_USER;

$myentries = array ();

// Sample link #1: Link to Gallery
$myentries[] = array ('url' => $_CONF['site_url'] . '/gallery/',
'label' => 'Gallery';


// Sample link #2: Link to the Personal Calendar - only visible for
// logged-in users
if (!empty ($_USER['uid']) && ($_USER['uid'] > 1)) {
$myentries[] = array ('url' => $_CONF['site_url']
. '/calendar/index.php?mode=personal',
'label' => 'My Calendar';
}

return $myentries;
}


I know i changed something and I obviously did something wrong, if anyone can help me either change it back or have it set so i can do the whole pages that show the stories under each the topic thing that would be awesome!

Okay.. i think I fixed it after tinkering around a bit because the site is back up. Now I just need to figure out how to un-comment it out..

Okay, I believe I have everything fixed, the only thing i"m not sure how to do is this part:

Did you mean Menu Elements? If so I have done that as of now, so now what do I do?

Yes, I meant the Menu Elements, sorry. So add an entry "custom" there.

What other problem(s) do you have at this point?

I don't know how to make the page with all the stories from the topic show up, like I don't really know what to link to.

As I said above: Take the link from the Topics block.

To link to all stories from the "Summer of Code" topic here on geeklog.net, you would use http://www.geeklog.net/index.php?topic=GSoC

Holy shit.. I think I love you... Thank you SO much dude! You're a god among men!
