phpBB help

i've searched on phpBB.com forum but its so cluttered over there i couldnt find what i was looking for..... anyways, i am running a new fourm, and i want to add a link back to the main site in the nav menu at top... i however cannot for the life of me find the code for this menu to add a new link... any ideas?


this is the menu i am talking about. i want to add HOME somewhere in the top row.

any ideas?


the site is my buddy's new custom fab work website. if your in the portland area he does great work. and does ship some of the smaller parts.

www.fabnstuff.com (dont judge the metal work based on the website, thats my fault.. lol. i need to do some major work on it still. :big2: )

if you look in the templates directory and then find the name of the theme you are using, the file you need to edit should be something to the effect of overall_header.tpl

Then look for the following lines of code

Code:
	<td align="center" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"><span class="mainmenu">&nbsp;<a href="{U_FAQ}" class="mainmenu"><img src="templates/Acid/images/icon_mini_faq.gif" width="12" height="13" border="0" alt="{L_FAQ}" hspace="3" />{L_FAQ}</a></span><span class="mainmenu">&nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="{U_SEARCH}" class="mainmenu"><img src="templates/Acid/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/Acid/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/Acid/images/icon_mini_groups.gif" width="12" height="13" border="0" alt="{L_USERGROUPS}" hspace="3" />{L_USERGROUPS}</a>&nbsp;
You might be able to add it right there, but I think there is another file to edit so that you can create the proper U_linkname alias.

However, that should get ya started in the right direction. Remember to make backup's of any file you edit just in case.

with phpBB, dont forget to sign up for the mailing list notification in case a major hack occurs....

phpbb and sourceforge has links for it... BTDT... sigh...
