Icy Phoenix :: View topic - Adding Forum Rules In Top Menu Block

This is a Quick MOD I put together Last night.

I figured I post this for it worked out very well for me, and was simple.

I wanted to add a Link to my Forums Rules on the top Menu Bar, and I tried a MOD on the phpBB board, that gave me errors.
The Mod was also Very Bulky for such a simple task. So I removed it.

Here's a Simple Fix, I came up with.

1) Create a Post with your Forum Rules (Then Lock it) You can also Sticky it, if you Like.

2) File Edit

File to Edit: /template/menu_block.html

FIND

Code: [Hide] [Select]

<!-- ENDIF -->

		<!-- IF U_RESTORE_PERMISSIONS --><a href="{U_RESTORE_PERMISSIONS}">{L_RESTORE_PERMISSIONS}</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="{T_THEME_PATH}/images/menu_sep.png" alt="" />&nbsp;<!-- ENDIF -->

		<a href="{U_INDEX}">{L_FORUM}</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="{T_THEME_PATH}/images/menu_sep.png" alt="" />&nbsp;

		<!-- IF not S_IS_BOT -->

REPLACE With

Code: [Hide] [Select]

<!-- ENDIF -->

		<!-- IF U_RESTORE_PERMISSIONS --><a href="{U_RESTORE_PERMISSIONS}">{L_RESTORE_PERMISSIONS}</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="{T_THEME_PATH}/images/menu_sep.png" alt="" />&nbsp;<!-- ENDIF -->

		<a href="{U_INDEX}">{L_FORUM}</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="{T_THEME_PATH}/images/menu_sep.png" alt="" />&nbsp;<a href="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx">Forum Rules</a>&nbsp;<img src="{T_THEME_PATH}/images/menu_sep.png" alt="" />&nbsp;

		<!-- IF not S_IS_BOT -->

3) Change the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx to the Actual Link (URL) to your Rules Post (that you created in step 1 above).

You can Change the Linked Text to whatever you want (can be Just) "Rules" instead of "Forum Rules"

4) Also Remember to Refresh your templates for this to take.

This is what you will get:
