adding something to the main menu

Hi,

I want to the modules main menu (my site's main menu) a direct link.

I mean, let's say I want to add a link to http://www.google.com in my modules menu.

How do I do that ?

Thank you !

Open block-Modules.php

find

Code:

$content .= "<big>&</big>&<a href=\"modules.php?name=$m_title\">$m_title2</a> \n";
}
}
}

Add after

Code:

$content .= "<big>&</big>&<a href=\"www.google.com\">Google Search</a> \n";

If you have trouble finding the first code snippet search for:

Code:

/* If you're Admin you and only you can see Inactive modules and test it */

and add the 2nd snippet right before that.

This will add a link at the end of all your modules called Google Search. If you want it to be called something else just modify the link that I told you to add.

Hope that helps.

FYI - This had previously been discussed in this thread but I don't think they did a great job explaining it perhaps, hence why I reposted for you.

Thank you .

However, I have the Modules tweak installed (from this site) ..
When I add the suggested code, the groups no longer appears...

any ideas?

Hmm, I tested it in the normal block-modules.php and it worked. Looking at the code for the tweaked block I don't see why it would mess it up, but I don't use that tweak myself, actually I don't even use block-modules I have all my links hardcoded into a modified block-phpbb_mainmenu.

Maybe try removing the inserted code and add it instead to the very bottom on the line right before

Code:

>?

So your final code would look like:

Code:

if ($a == 1 AND $dummy != 1) {
$content .= "<big>&</big>&"._NONE." \n";
}
}

$content .= "<big>&</big>&<a href=\"www.google.com\">Google Search</a> \n";

?>

This might look funny when logged in as admin because it would make the link appear after the admin only modules and the hidden modules, but to a normal user it should make a link to Google at the bottom of the block?

Sorry i couldn't be more help Sad
