Add link to navcattabs bar

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 :censored: 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

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

sorry to keep posting like a mad man here.. i just realized an adverse affect to the code i added to the tpl. it caused my product list font colors to grey like the links... any way to isolate this to just the navcattabs section?

I figured you'd see the error of your way by changing EVERY a tag in the entire cart.:smartalec:

Most items are in a wrapper or div. Use something like navCatTabs ul li a VERSUS just plain a.

At least you've learned how to change every link if you want to.:P

i must be doing something wrong here.. after i did as you suggested (i think i did it right) everything seems to revert back to before i added it therefore i see login in blue, etc. here's the code i added

First of all take a chill pill, drink a margarita, or something. Whatever it takes to get off that horse you've jumped on and rode madly off in all directions!

1. The css styles go (amazingly enough) in the stylesheet.css NOT the file.:no:
2. You cannot just throw a link in an unordered list without surrounding that link with <li></li>:( It certainly won't do what you tell it in the css if it isn't laid out that way.
   Move the css to the stylesheet and surround those orphan a tags with their proper tag.:yes:
