Adding link to menu
« on: January 25, 2011, 06:34:37 pm »

Hi,  I have ver 1.5, using the electro theme, and need to know how to add a link to the main menu that will link me back to my website?
I have searched and found a few entries on this but they are for versions 1.3 and/or 1.4

Tks for any assist,
Marv

You can use the 'custom link' config entry in Coppermine's config. If you need more than one link you have to edit your theme as described in the docs and asked many times in the board (use the search function). By the way, this works exactly as it worked in earlier Coppermine versions.

How I did mine

Config / General settings / URL of your home page.  I added the link to my home page here.  This will take you to your home page when clicking the home page icon.

Then also, as I have a forum, I used the custom link method Andre mentioned above.  Config / Themes settings

Custom menu link name.  put a name for your link here.  (in my case it was Forum).
Custom menu link URL.  add your link here.  (again, in my case it was a link to my forum)

This will give you two links without editing anything. ;)

My thanks to the both of you. I was going nuts looking in the themes files and finding nothing?
