Icy Phoenix

Can anyone tell me if there is an easy way to add a category and kinks to the menu block on the portal?

Thank you

You mean easiest than modifying nav_quick_links.tpl? :D

Thank but i know nothing about php and thought there may have been a control in the admin that i had missed, i wouldnt like to start altering/adding code to templates.

Notyet anyway :)

The language into the template files is HTML and not PHP ;). What do you not understand?

Well I don't know if in Icy there is the possibility to modify it through ACP, sincerely I don't think.


Anyway even knowing nothing about php (me neither know nothing at all about php :D ) you can start to modify something... all templates are written in HTML and some javascript... if you have a little knowledge about HTML you can quite easily start make some tests...

I suggest you to do that ;)


Menu block is all tables and scripts. First of all remember to do a backup every time you want to try some change and then... try till you succeed :D


Let me give you (the little I am able to... ) some suggestion to start with.


For example, let's assume you want to add a "CREDITS" (just an example) page link in your menu block just below the "Forum" link, it's very simple:


You just need to open nav_quick_links.tpl and find the table wich contains the main section links.


The main section links is this:



As you can easily notice (if you have a little knowledge of HTML) it's only a div with a table... just create the <tr> section with the link you want to add (you can just copy the ones you find in it and modify them... :D )






And than insert it just under the "Forum" <tr> section (like we wanted in the example) and you obtain






All's done ;)



If you have the good habit to do backups every change you make, you will be able to learn a lot of things... just trying and losing time finding where you are mistaking :D




I hope this could help...

Many thanks Vortex,

I will attempt this when i have time and report back.

Notyet though :)
