I need to add custom links. I know how to using
<!-- Add a static menu entry -->
<a class="menuMain" href="http://www.mylink">name that shows up</a>

but i want to be able to move them up or down. People use custom ones that they made but I want to make sure that the submenu's still come up. How do I do this. I have Tinycontent. Thanks.

Any Help????

I found this little bit of code that allows you to create modules of static content. These are installed as modules and therefore show up in the main menu. You can also have submenu entries of static content... ALL VERY MANUAL CONFIG OUTSIDE XOOPS ADMIN!

I will see if I can find the module template for you if you want.

Hello jad2000

(Pasted from my post in a previous topic)

To add html links to your main menu (no sub-menus included)

You edit main menu in System Admin and "Templates"

If you are using the default XOOPS template you need to click on "Clone" and then set up the "Clone" as your default template in "General Settings". Call it anything you want. (The default template cant be edited without cloning)

If you are using another theme apart from XOOPS default, it it will normally be based on the XOOPS "default template",--if not, the theme you downloaded would have a "Tar" file to upload into templates (to create its own template)

You may need to click on "Generate" for some modules (in red) to create the files.

After you have set up your default template in general settings, go back to System Admin and "Templates"--your default template will have a tick against it. Now look for the "System" set of files and click on "List"

In there you will find a file called system_block_mainmenu.html

Click on "Edit"

The file should look like this:

(depending on which template you are using)

<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}>"><{$sublink.name}></a>
<{/foreach}>
<{/foreach}>
<!-- end module menu loop -->
<a class="menuMain" href="<{$xoops_url}>/aboutbournemouth.html">Bournemouth</a>
<a class="menuMain" href="https://xoops.org">Xoops CMS</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>


Notice after the <!-- end module menu loop --> I have added a couple of lines i.e.

<a class="menuMain" href="<{$xoops_url}>/aboutbournemouth.html">Bournemouth</a>
<a class="menuMain" href="https://xoops.org">Xoops CMS</a>

(remember to use the "classes" your template is using)

The first line provides a link to a file on my server

The second provides a link to another site, no need for target_blank, but to open in new window add target="_blank" i.e

<a class="menuMain" href="https://xoops.org" target="_blank">Xoops CMS</a>

These lines need to be outside the "module menu loop" You could have the links before "<!-- start module menu loop -->" which means they would appear at the top.
