Add Link In Header For Black_pearl
-----------------------------------
We have been setting up a new phpBB 3.0 forum at [url=http://www.cavetronics.com/forum]Çavetroniçs &#302;nformatiçs Açademi&#261;™ which uses the black_pearl theme. We would like to add a link in the header for our Ajax 'Chat'

The menu_block.html has been edited with the {L_CHAT} added.

Specifically we have questions how the new link should be attributed in the functions.php.

Here is some of the code:

'U_LOGIN_LOGOUT' => $u_login_logout,
'U_INDEX' => append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}index.$phpEx"),
'U_SEARCH' => append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}search.$phpEx"),
'U_REGISTER' => append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}ucp.$phpEx", 'mode=register'),
'U_PROFILE' => append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}ucp.$phpEx"),
'U_MODCP' => append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}mcp.$phpEx", false, true, $user->session_id),
'U_FAQ' => append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}faq.$phpEx"),

There needs to be an addition for the U_CHAT . How should the U_CHAT on the function.php appear?

Are there other areas that may also be tricky through this procedure?

Any and all help will be most appreciated.

Maybe something like this:
[codeblock]'U_CHAT' => append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}chat.$phpEx"), [/codeblock]

You need to use the real file name... I have used "chat.php" but I don't know the real address of your file.

Re: Add Link In Header For Black_pearl

Thank you, as you can tell from the header ([url=http://www.cavetronics.com/forum/]at link), a location has been made for the Chat.

The link it needs to go to is either http://www.cavetronics.com/forum/chat/ or http://www.cavetronics.com/forum/chat/index.php.  It is Ajax chat, which integrates into the phpBB 3 folder (which is named 'forum' in this case).  

The file 'index.php' is located here: forum/chat/index.php

I'm somewhat unsure of how that is supposed be written to include the folders.

if you want to use {L_CHAT} you need to add to the language directory...

'CHAT'  =>  'Chat',

Re: Add Link In Header For Black_pearl
-----------------------------------
Yes, I'm aware of changing the language file.  However, do I not have to assign the function first?  

My biggest hangup is that I do not know how to code a sub directory.  It appears from the code that all links in the header are located in the root folder (called 'forum').  The problem is that AJAX chat is located in: forum/chat/index.php

How should that appear in the code?

If you´re not using L_  Vars when yes . full root path to chat/index.php

Should the script be:

'U_CHAT' => append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}chat/index.$phpEx"),


???  

:shock:

Re: Add Link In Header For Black_pearl
-----------------------------------
I figured it out...how to add a "Chat" link in the header.

For users of phpBB 3.0.5, using the black_pearl template, and AJAX chat, this is the code I was so nicely offered from strahd1970 on another forum.  It worked for him; and it works on my site too.


Open menu_block.html

After the search, insert the code below on a new line afterwards.

<a href="http://www.cavetronics.com/forum/chat/">Chatrooms</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="{T_THEME_PATH}/images/menu_sep.png" alt="" />&nbsp;
