Add a link to the main menu by editing modules/system/templates/blocks/system_block_mainmenu.html

<table cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td id="mainmenu">
      <a class="menuTop" href="<{$xoops_url}>/"><{$block.lang_home}>a>
      
      <{foreach item=module from=$block.modules}>
      <a class="menuMain" href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/<{$module.directory}>/" title="<{$module.name}>"><{$module.name}>a>
        <{foreach item=sublink from=$module.sublinks}>
          <a class="menuSub" href="<{$sublink.url}>" title="<{$sublink.name}>"><{$sublink.name}>a>
        <{/foreach}>
      <{/foreach}>
      
<a class="menuMain" href="yoururl" title="yourlinkname">My Linka>
    td>
  tr>
table>


Go to system admin - modules and update the system module to set the changes.

Yes, sadly a number of FAQs are broken. We hope to get it sorted in the up-coming site rebuild.

OK, this has been finally fixed.

I spent a lot of time looking in the wrong area. Somehow, the answer has been deleted, and when SmartFAQ doesn't find one, it creates a blank screen. I've added the answer from tcnet, and now it's working fine. I've check all answers, and all of them seem to be working now.

If you experience again any blank pages at XOOPS FAQ, please let us know and we'll fix it.

Fantastic news! So all FAQs now display and their comments are readable? (have looked through and not found any missing yet!!)

As far as I know, all FAQs should be OK, but if I missed any, let me know and we'll try to fix it.

Now, we'll need to stark working on fixing and updating them

I have this code in my mainmenu:







So the purpose is to get the menuitem "Submit your work" just below the Home item.
However, since 2.4.2 I can not get that anymore. I have tried this as well as putting it up in the themes/mytheme/modules/system/blocks directory without any luck. I did update the system module after modifying as well as emptying the cache.
Any suggestions?

Is there any HTML generated?
If you add after the <{/if}>, does it show in the HTML source?

Nope, nothing. Looking at the source the line isn't there. Did empty cache and updated system module

Is website / module caching on (see at the end of general preferences)?
Maybe you are working on the wrong theme?
You can also edit it directly in the database: admin - templateset manager, list of system of the templateset and then edit (not for the original set, it must be on a second or cloned set)
