Any buttons you add via Settings > Forum Settings > Navigation can also be replaced with images. My plugin is not restricted to the default buttons.

Hm, I tried that but it always came up as the image link and not the image itself.

I will try to get back to that later when the site is fixed.

(Oh, and the second link does go to the V5 site, I just didn't update the hyperlink text itself that is displayed.)

Your forum should be back up now.

I tried replacing the remaining menu links myself temporarily with dummy buttons and did it successfully. It should work when you do it.

[Tohsaka Rin]

Okay~ Got that done since the site is back up. For whatever reason, when I had been working on it, the images sort of refused to work and had been putting the hyperlink text in instead. It might have just been some strange error. Seems to be working fine now.

Thanks.

[Brian]

Good to know it's working now.

[Tohsaka Rin]

Oh, actually, "New" no longer wants to show up now. Was that hook taken out of proboards? I just shoved "Bookmarks" in there for now to help space it out correctly.

[Brian]

New Topics is no longer a default button. If you want to add it in yourself, make a custom button that links to this:
/threads/recent


This link is now at the bottom of the home page in your forum information & statistics along with recent posts.

[Tohsaka Rin]

Aha~ Thanks. That solves that! We can change the way that the buttons are arranged by messing with the template, right? "Logout" should come before "Item Shop" for spacing reasons.

So close to finishing the last of this stuff before we play the waiting game on some plugins. Running out of things to work on.

Thanks much, it is always appreciated.

If you disable the login buttons in the plugin and add them into the template yourself you can achieve the desired effect. I don't think rearranging the buttons is an easy fix in my plugin since it's done via Javascript.

[Tohsaka Rin]

Hm, yeah I see what you mean, aside from it wanting to not allow "Login" or "Register" to work any more.

If you make a customized Logout, then the ability to log in (and vice versus) no longer appears. I will look into this more to see what my friend can come up with.

When disabling "login buttons" in the plugin, "Login, Logout, and Register" no longer will appear because you obviously removed them. So I went to make it in Settings>Navigation with the correct links. Basically, just typing in Login  /Login over in Settings>Navigation then having the plugin allow a button for that "custom button".

But, well, you loose the ability of Login turning into Logout, or for Register to show up. Or so it seems.

I will see what we can think of though. We might swap the entire Login/Logout/Register thing to a whole different area (like the side bars.) All in all it isn't a bad issue, just one I will think on for a while.

Tohsaka Rin: If you go to Structure > Layout Templates > Forum Wrapper, you should see a line that says:

{foreach $[navigation.menu]}

Place this code on the line right after it.

                        {if $[navigation.menu.name] == "Item Shop"}
                            {if $[current_user.is_member]}
                                <li>
                                    $[logout_link]
                                </li>
                            {else}
                                <li>
                                    $[login_link]
                                </li>
                                <li>
                                    $[register_link]
                                </li>
                            {/if}
                        {/if}

Change the text in red to the text of whatever button you want the login/logout/register buttons to come before.

After that, ensure that login buttons and the welcome message are off in the plugin settings. This should do what you want.

[Tohsaka Rin]

Wonderful.

(Please don't stick your wonderfully long, coder, fingers up my nose violently!)

My log in, log out, and register buttons were available in the settings/navigation area. I had to add them though.

There's no way to set any of those to guests-only though, which the plugin or the template mod can do.

[Willing Sniper]

Oh, sorry. I bow to you yet again. Carry on.

The plugin should inherit the same settings you have for your regular buttons. If your buttons change background color when you hover your cursor over them, these ones should too. The current page highlight is inherited as well.

All it does is change the content inside the buttons from text to images. Nothing should be different.
