Add link to navcattabs bar

[matchlock]

How do I add a link to the navCatTabs bar? Right now they are just categories but I'd like to put a link to another page within the site.

Thanks!

That depends on many things. Have you customized your site? Custom template? Mods?
Link to the site?

Now that we can see that you have not done any strange mods or bought any TM templates, we can point you to the tpl_modules_categories_tabs.php file. You'll probably not find it in the custom directory as you may not have moved it over. Look in includes/templates/template_default/templates, open the file on your computer, add the information before line 23 so you don't break the UL sequence, and save the file to includes/templates/mla/templates/tpl_categories_tabs.php.

i'm going to try this right now but i noticed that you reference the original file as tpl_modules_categories_tabs.php but state that i should save it as tpl_categories_tabs.php. Any particular reason for the name change?

actually it's really odd. i added one for login on the left side and it is blue. i added an additional one on the right side and it is black and not visible until you mouse over and then it turns red like the others??? i'm just not on my A game today. any help would be appreciated. and thank you for getting me this far.

OK disregard... I figured it out.. I added this to the tpl file


<style type="text/css">
a:link {
COLOR: #9a9a9a;
}
a:visited {
COLOR: #9a9a9a;
}
a:hover {
COLOR: #FF0000;
}
a:active {
COLOR: #00FF00;
}
</style>

it looks great.. exactly what i wanted.. thanks again for your help.
