New Navigation Menu Image w/direction

[aRMY83]

Is it possible to add a new image w/direction to the Navigation Menu and not by custom pages?

Hi aRMY83,

I'm not sure I understand fully; would you be able to clarify what you're looking to do further please? If you have any existing examples that you can link to, that would be of help too

Hello CheatAreZee

An example would be a image (button) of a arrow and when clicking on it, it would take that person to the bottom of page.

You can see at the upper right corner a down arrow and when clicking on it, it takes you to the bottom. What I would like to do, is place the same thing within the nav menu and remove it from where it is now.

Hello again CheatAreZee

I know it has not been 24 hours, but thought maybe you could again take a look at this pertaining to my input above.

I don't know if this is the kind of solution you're looking for exactly, but there exists a nifty plugin by the name of "Back to Top" that will place a floating button on the side of your page that can be used to jump to either the top or bottom - and it disappears when you don't need it.

That plugin can be found here.

It's not a problem, looks like your previous post was created after I had left last night so I wasn't able to see this until now. If David's suggestion doesn't work for you, you can do something like the following:

- Visit your admin panel, then navigate to Themes > Layout Templates. On the next page, click the "Forum Wrapper" template.

- Once viewing the forum wrapper template, find the following around line 66:

$[content]
$[shoutbox]

In between those two tags, add in the following: <a id="bottom"></a>

so it should look like:
$[content]
<a id="bottom"></a>
$[shoutbox]

---

With that added, return to the main page of your admin panel then navigate to Settings > Forum Settings. Once there, click on the "Navigation" tab. On this page, click the "Add Custom" button and in the new fields that appear, paste in ? for the Name, and then for the URL type in #bottom. When this is added, return to your forum and you should see a button in your navigation bar with a down arrow, and when clicked should take you to the bottom of the page

Thanks David Clark for the input, but not quire what I was looking for.

Got it! CheatAreZee and will give that a go.

Thanks much for the info.

Hello again CheatAreZee

Works like a charm but have one question. Is it possible to add my own image arrow?

[CheatAreZee]

You can try the plugin found here, as this is said to work with custom navigation buttons

[aRMY83]

Will give that a try and let you know what happens. In the meantime, I gotta get and once again, thanks millions!

Hello CheatAreZee

After importing Classic ProBoards Menu and inputing the Setting fields and Images (one) I get this:



It's the small image to the upper left. Just to note, no matter how large of a image I input, it still shows small.

[CheatAreZee]

Would you be able to link to the forum that you have it installed on please?

[aRMY83]

Sure can CheatAreZee

Thanks for checking back. I looked at the plugin settings and I think part of the issue is that you have the "Menu Height" option set to 16px, so this is making your image appear at the super small size. Change this option to 41px as that is the native height of the image you're wanting to use. See how that works out

[aRMY83]

Just did the 41px and it really messed up things.
