How do I add custom meny links

[Chael]

First of all, sorry if this is in the wrong place but I am not to sure were to put it.

I have phpBB running on my site, PCLobby - A place for computer people at version 2.0.21, the newest... What I want to do is to create a php based chat room on a web page and then have a link to it on one of my forum links as is at the top of phpbb forums on the default template.

How do I customize those links so as I could have like:

log on member list FAQ Search
Live chat usergroups

[VodaHost]

moving to forum section.

Edit the over_header.tpl file in your templates folder of phpbb

[Chael]

I can only find overall_header and in that I can only find the styling for the links nt the actual text of them and were they lead to...

Hi the bit you need to find is ,

<td align="center" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"><span class="mainmenu">&nbsp;<a href="{U_FAQ}" class="mainmenu"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_mini_faq.gif" width="12" height="13" border="0" alt="{L_FAQ}" hspace="3" />{L_FAQ}</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="{U_SEARCH}" class="mainmenu"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_mini_search.gif" width="12" height="13" border="0" alt="{L_SEARCH}" hspace="3" />{L_SEARCH}</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="{U_MEMBERLIST}" class="mainmenu"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_mini_members.gif" width="12" height="13" border="0" alt="{L_MEMBERLIST}" hspace="3" />{L_MEMBERLIST}</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="{U_GROUP_CP}" class="mainmenu"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_mini_groups.gif" width="12" height="13" border="0" alt="{L_USERGROUPS}" hspace="3" />{L_USERGROUPS}</a>&nbsp;

you will need to add the new link

sorry i am not very good with php or the likes, could you show me how to edit that block if the link was to http://pclobby.net/chat and the text was "live chat"

[Chael]

anyone?

[racefan20]

Who is going to host your chat room? You can't host it here. I'd recommend using sigmachat and this MOD to add it to your forum.

The end result would look like the header on this forum.

i'll wait before i post .
thanks race for reminding me.

[Chael]

I can not register now because sigmachats register page is down...

[racefan20]

Maybe a server hiccup, it opened for me just now.

[racefan20]

Incidentally, I just installed the chat mod for someone else and still have the edited files. Let me know if you want them.

[Chael]

[Chael]

[racefan20]

Sure, I'll zip 'em up and if you want them I'll tell you where to get them.
