Subject: Editing, "Top Menu" In The Header Using, "overall_header_bl.tpl"

I am trying to edit this menu.

What I want to do is change, "New" to "News Feed" which is a link to "newsfeed.php".

I also want this to be visible/available to all users.

I have tried changing this:

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

		
<!-- BEGIN switch_upi2db_off -->

		<a href="{FULL_SITE_PATH}{U_SEARCH_NEW}">{L_NEW2}</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="{FULL_SITE_PATH}{IMG_MENU_SEP}" alt="" />&nbsp;

		<!-- END switch_upi2db_off -->

To this but, it did not work:

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

		
		<a href="http://www.appaf.org/forum/newsfeed.php">News Feed</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="{FULL_SITE_PATH}{IMG_MENU_SEP}" alt="" />&nbsp;

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

David

As per your instructions this is what I did:

Code: [Download] [Hide] [Select]

	<td class="forum-buttons" colspan="3" width="100%">

		<a href="{FULL_SITE_PATH}{U_PORTAL}">{L_HOME}</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="{FULL_SITE_PATH}{IMG_MENU_SEP}" alt="" />&nbsp;

		<a href="{FULL_SITE_PATH}{U_INDEX}">{L_INDEX}</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="{FULL_SITE_PATH}{IMG_MENU_SEP}" alt="" />&nbsp;

		 <a href="http://www.appaf.org/forum/newsfeed.php">News Feed</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="{FULL_SITE_PATH}{IMG_MENU_SEP}" alt="" />&nbsp;

        <!-- BEGIN switch_upi2db_off -->

		<a href="{FULL_SITE_PATH}{U_SEARCH_NEW}">{L_NEW2}</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="{FULL_SITE_PATH}{IMG_MENU_SEP}" alt="" />&nbsp;

		<!-- END switch_upi2db_off -->

		<!-- BEGIN switch_upi2db_on -->

		<span style="vertical-align:top;">{L_POSTS}:&nbsp;</span><a href="{FULL_SITE_PATH}{U_SEARCH_NEW}">{L_NEW2}</a><span style="vertical-align:top;">&nbsp;•&nbsp;</span>{L_DISPLAY_U}<span style="vertical-align:top;">&nbsp;•&nbsp;</span>{L_DISPLAY_M}<span style="vertical-align:top;">&nbsp;•&nbsp;</span>{L_DISPLAY_P}&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="{FULL_SITE_PATH}{IMG_MENU_SEP}" alt="" />&nbsp;

		<!-- END switch_upi2db_on -->

It (News Feed) is not displaying for all and (New) is still displaying for "Users".

There has not been any change. It is still showing up as New when a user is logged in and does not show anything when a guest is viewing. I even went to a different computer that has not been at the website and it is the same.

Here is my complete file:

man...i see style icy phoenix on your site
to display it on current template (icy phoenix) you need to edit overall_header.tpl

overall_header_bl.tpl is for blue and black pearl style .....

That is always a problem when you edit ONE template to try to affect what should be done Globally by editing the Lang File: lang_main_upi2db.php

Then you wouldn't need to edit any templates. Apart from changing permissions as you require. ;)

I suggest that you put back the Lang Var and make your changes to the appropriate lang file - otherwise you will have edit every theme overall_header*.tpl that you use now and in the future. :(
