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

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;

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.

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