How to make a new link in "Site Navigation"

porcupinepc · Posted: Sat Nov 01, 2003 9:10 am

I would like to add a link to my site under "Navigation". I want it called "Prices" or something like that. Once the user click it, they go to a forum on my site that has the requested pricing. How is this done.?

Example of Adding HTML Links to Main Menu

Find the following line of code in the block-Modules.php file found in the subfolder called blocks:

Code:

$content .= "<strong><big> </big></strong>\ <a href=\"index.php\">"._HOME."</a><br>\n";

And add this line after it:

Code:

$content .= "<strong><big> </big></strong> <a href=\"LINK\">LINK NAME</a><br>\n";

Of course modify the "LINK" to the URL you wish, and the "LINK NAME" to the name of the hyperlink.

If you are using a Site Navigation mod, you might use this line

Code:

$content .= "<OPTION VALUE=\"index.php\"><big>·</big> "._HOME."</OPTION>";

I gave the code for the standard mod that comes with Nuke.

porcupinepc · Posted: Sat Nov 01, 2003 11:39 am

On my block-Modules, do you know exactly where this line should be inserted?

Raven · Posted: Sat Nov 01, 2003 11:42 am

Right after the line I referenced in my previous post. I took that right out of your example.

porcupinepc · Posted: Sat Nov 01, 2003 12:03 pm

Very weird. Nothing shows up under Site Navigation.

Find this code

Code:

/* Now we make the Modules block with the correspondent links */
$content .= "<script language=\"JavaScript\">function gotoURL(dropDown) { URL=dropDown.options[dropDown.selectedIndex].value; if(URL.length>0) { top.location.href = URL; } } </script>";
$content .= "<SELECT NAME=\"name\" SIZE=\"8\" onChange=\"gotoURL(this)\">";
$content .= "<OPTION VALUE=\"index.php\"><big>·</big> "._HOME."</OPTION>";

and modify it to this, substituting your own links

Code:

/* Now we make the Modules block with the correspondent links */
$content .= "<script language=\"JavaScript\">function gotoURL(dropDown) { URL=dropDown.options[dropDown.selectedIndex].value; if(URL.length>0) { top.location.href = URL; } } </script>";
$content .= "<SELECT NAME=\"name\" SIZE=\"8\" onChange=\"gotoURL(this)\">";
$content .= "<OPTION VALUE=\"index.php\"><big>·</big> "._HOME."</OPTION>";
$content .= "<OPTION VALUE=\"forums.html&file=viewtopic&p=439#439\"><big>·</big> "."YOUR POST"."</OPTION>";

Note that your link to your forums may/will be different than mine.

BUMP

Raven can you tell us where to place this line (BTW, I corrected it to show the mid-dot):

Code:

$content .= "<strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"LINK\">LINK NAME</a><br>\n";

in your site navigation block so it shows up in the drop-down list please?
Site nav block code (as I have it):

Make it an <option></option>.

One place would be after this line $content .= "<option>Select</option>";

Another would be before this line $content .= "</select><br /><br>";

mercman · Regular Joined: Nov 29, 2006 Posts: 64 Location: TN, USA

Hmm..
I've placed this:

Code:

$content .= "<option><strong><big>·</big></strong> <a href=\"http://gallery.merc-man.net\">Gallery</a><br>\n</option>";

after the line $content .= "<option>Select</option>";

It shows up nicely, but the hyperlink doesn't do anything.
What did I miss?

Raven · Posted: Fri Dec 28, 2007 10:52 pm

You missed making it an option statement like the other ones. Here is the format $content .= "<option value=\"modules.php?name=$m_title\">· $m_title2</option>";

So, yours would need to look something like $content .= "<option value=\"LINK\">· LINK NAME</option>";
