add links to nav menu

Midways

It would be helpful if you explained how you did this for anyone wanting to do the same in the future.

Midways

Thanks for the reply and no need to apologise.

Scriptfarm

create links like this "site_url()"

<li><a href="<?php echo site_url(); ?>"><?php echo lang('lang_link_home'); ?></a></li>   // Index

<li><a href="<?php echo site_url('menu'); ?>"><?php echo lang('lang_link_menu'); ?></a></li>   // Menu

not so :

<li><a href="home">Home</a></li>

Please note that the individual codes will be overwritten in the software update process.

Create your own Template.. Look at this simple demo : http://account.peacock.uberspace.de/

../main/views/themes/my_own_template/....

This avoids the situation where an update of the script overwrites your changes

Scriptfarm

Create a new design in admin

copy all files and directorys from the main Design : main/views/themes/tastyigniter-orange/... in your new Design directory : main/views/themes/my_new_theme/.

Edit all Theme Directoy Links (tastyigniter-orange) in main/views/themes/my_new_theme/theme_config.php

Example:

from array(theme_url('tastyigniter-orange/css/bootstrap.min.css'), 'bootstrap-css', '10'),

in array(theme_url('my_new_theme/css/bootstrap.min.css'), 'bootstrap-css', '10'), . . etc

I have looked round on Google and in the forum and can't see how to add a link to the nav menu next to login or register, do I need to code it in or can it be done from the admin side?

Thank you in advance

Hi Midways

Sorry I apologise, do want to help others if I can and if it helps others, below is what I did

I amended the file main\views\themes\tastyigniter-orange\partials\header.php and added in the following code

BEFORE THE FOLLOWING BLOCK OF CODE

<?php if (!empty($pages)) { ?> <?php foreach ($pages as $page) { ?> <?php if (is_array($page['navigation']) AND in_array('header', $page['navigation'])) { ?> <li><a href="<?php echo site_url('pages?page_id='.$page['page_id']); ?>"><?php echo $page['name']; ?></a></li> <?php } ?> <?php } ?> <?php } ?>

I ADDED THE FOLLOWING <li><a href="home">Home</a></li> <li><a href="menus">Menu</a></li>

SO LOOKS LIKE THE FOLLOWING

Hope that helps others

I have just found out though that if need to update the script, the coding changes are overwritten, is there a way to add links to the nav menu next to Login and Register without needing to modify the header.php file?

ianhaney

I really like that theme design, I think I will create my own theme and I take it the coding is not overwritten because it's not the default theme?

I have copied the theme tastyigniter and renamed it and activated it in the admin side but in the source code it looks like it is still using the default theme as a line of code is the following

sorry sussed it, I changed the theme-config.php file to the new theme name I created

Sorry I am struggling with the links in the nav menu to the format you said, I have put the following in but no text is appearing

ianhaney

Sorry yeah solved that bit about copying the files etc. and changing theme_config.php in the new theme folder

Actually a much simpler method than that can be used, just make most of imperfection of code by creating a new page in admin panel, specify the slug to menus , and allow it showing in header,and footer maybe, then it is done.
