Go to admin->system->templates

select the system list for your default template set

scroll down to system_block_mainmenu.html and edit

should look something like:

Quote:
<table cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td id="mainmenu">
<a class="menuTop" href="<{$xoops_url}>/"><{$block.lang_home}></a>
<!-- start module menu loop -->
<{foreach item=module from=$block.modules}>
<a class="menuMain" href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/<{$module.directory}>/"><{$module.name}></a>
<{foreach item=sublink from=$module.sublinks}>
<a class="menuSub" href="<{$sublink.url}>"><{$sublink.name}></a>
<{/foreach}>
<{/foreach}>
<!-- end module menu loop -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>



Change it by adding bold type:

Quote:
<table cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td id="mainmenu">
<a class="menuTop" href="<{$xoops_url}>/"><{$block.lang_home}></a>

<a class="menuTop" href="YOUR FORUM URL">YOUR FORUM TITLE</a>

<!-- start module menu loop -->
<{foreach item=module from=$block.modules}>
<a class="menuMain" href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/<{$module.directory}>/"><{$module.name}></a>
<{foreach item=sublink from=$module.sublinks}>
<a class="menuSub" href="<{$sublink.url}>"><{$sublink.name}></a>
<{/foreach}>
<{/foreach}>
<!-- end module menu loop -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>


Them go to admin->system->modules

and set the weight of Newbb to 0.


See if that works.

I can't help you much with the ftp as I need to be looking at it.

I think it would be a lot easier to do it through the administration menu of your XOOPS site instead of ftp.

Leastwise now you can just copy and paste.

By default temeplate I mean the one you are useing, not the one titled default. If you are using the one titled default you will need to clone it, and then make your changes to the new template set and set it as default.

Let me know.
