Hey,

I downloaded the neoblue theme, it has links like newbb, contact, links in the top section.
Howto remove some of these and make the correct links inthere for the rest? So for instance linking the "contactbutton" not to /contact but to /archcontact.
Also it says "http://www.timebrokers.be" in the top, I want to remove the http// bit and only leave "TIMEBROKERS" without changing the rest.
the website is ofcourse like stated above http://www.timebrokers.be

thx in advance,

Filip

Ok the website name that appears at the top can be changed in 2 ways:

1. Go to Admin, General Settings and change the site name to TIMEBROKERS (Or TIMEBROKERS.be)

2. edit the theme.html file and 'hard code' the TIMEBROKERS name.

To change the links, again you need to edit the theme.html file, just open the file with your favourite web publishing package (for example: Frontpage) you can then make the changes in a GUI environment, alternatively you can open the file with a text editor and make then changes in something like Notepad.

PS: I think I just blurted that lot out so if you need more info please ask.

Hey,

Apparently I cannot insert php into the code, only news and contact work, but when I try to for instance insert http://web457.hercules.sprintweb.de/modules/myalbum/viewcat.php?cid=33 as a link .... no go.
Are the $ in php predefined somewhere else or so ?

Thx,

Filip

As far as I can see the provided link works. It is a main category which shows the subcategories. So I don't understand the problem.

Hi,

I changed the links to appropriate paths but somehow I wasn't able to do this on all the links that where in the original design, like 'portfolio', 'forums' etc., only on 'news' and 'contact'.
When I tried inserting a php line it didn't appear on the site.
My php knowledge doesn't go any further then $ :).

Ok inserting links to php pages is fine.

You should see something like this in the theme.html file:

<div id="navsections">
<
ul>
<
li><a href="<{$xoops_url}>"><{$smarty.const._MA_MENU_HOME}>a>li>
...
...
...

This part: is the link.
This part: {$smarty.const._MA_MENU_HOME} is what the link will be called on your site.

Using Smarty values should mean that the site will work with multiple laguages (For example you may have an option somewhere to display everything in French?). So is your site aimed at more than one language or is all of your content English?
Basically the smarty value calls a constant and if the language is English I will see Home, News, Contact, where as a French could for example click on a French flag on your site and would see the French alternatives as long as they have been declared in the French Language files...

If your site is aimed at an English audience then you can just pull those smarty values out and make the links look like this instead:

<div id="navsections">
<
ul>
<
li><a href="<{$xoops_url}>">HOMEa>li>

So lets try a couple more of your links:

<div id="navsections">
<
ul>
<
li><a href="<{$xoops_url}>">Homea>li>
<
li><a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/myalbum">ArtAntiquesa>li>
<
li><a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/myalbum/viewcat.php?cid=33">Clocksa>li>
<
li><a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/myalbum/viewcat.php?cid=17">Pocket Watchesa>li>
<
li><a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/myalbum/viewcat.php?cid=18">Wrist Watchesa>li>
<
li><a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/archcontact">Contact Usa>li>
<
li><a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/myguestbook">Guest booka>li>
ul>div>

Hope this helps you a little further.

Dave
