Menu change

[ekles]

Hi

On the top menu with Home,LogIn, etc etc how do I add an extra link.

Reason

We run the shop in a sub domain and of course the home button is actually the shop home page. What we intend to do is rename the current "home" link to "Shop home" and the sites homepage to "home"

Search has not led us to an answer at this time on how to add this in.

Thanks folks

You will want to change the define for HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG from 'Home' to 'Shop Home':
/includes/languages/english/your_template/header.php

Line #15 : define('HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG', 'Home');

and probably add a define for site home:
/includes/languages/english/your_template/header.php

define('HEADER_TITLE_SITE', 'Home');

Then you can modify the link code in /includes/templates/your_template/common/tpl_header.php.

You can hard-code the url, or use an ez-page external link to lead to it.
Find this:

<!--bof-navigation display-->
<div id="navMainWrapper">
<div id="navMain">
    <ul class="back">
    <li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'; ?><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a></li>

and add a line similar to this

<!--bof-navigation display-->
<div id="navMainWrapper">
<div id="navMain">
    <ul class="back">
    <li><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_ez_pages_link(23) . '">'; ?><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_SITE; ?></a></li>
    <li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'; ?><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a></li>

Perfect thank you

Got a little lost somewhere in here...

I also added a link to the top nav bar (tpl_header), but this link is echoed in the footer and I don't want it to be.

<div id="navMain">
    <ul class="back">
    <li><a href="http://MYSITE.com/">Home</a></li>
    <li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'; ?><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a></li>

But I don't want this same link in the footer (tpl_footer). If I comment out the code below this works except I get a leading "::" in the footer which indicates to me I clearly did something wrong. I don't have any EZPage enabled for this link in the footer. I think it's also likely this is the result of something I did earlier but can't recall.

<!--bof-navigation display -->
<div id="navSuppWrapper">
<div id="navSupp">
<ul>
<!--comment out link to home -->
<!-- <li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG. '">'; ?>//<?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a></li> --->

I'm still not an expert at this, but hopefully my questions/posts are getting more intelligent! Thanks for the great forum support.

Anyone able to get me pointed on the right direction with the extra :: in my footer?

    <li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'; ?><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a></li>

Followed this info..

Now the home page leads me to "index.php?main_page=index"

Trying to figure out where i go to revise the main_page to be my primary website as opposed to the index of proshop.

Did you set up an ez-page external link pointing to your site home?

[gjh42]

Tools > EZ-Pages > "new file" button >
at the bottom, enter your url in "External Link URL:"
