add a link at the top of my boards beside "my profile" , "register" etc as i need to add a membership link and i want a CP link , i know its something to do with ubb_lib.cgi

Go in ubb_lib.cgi

---

$vars_wordlets{forum_home_link}

---

#####
After this add: ( this is all on the same line )

quote:

---

| Membership | Control Panel

Not sure the Membership link will work but I know the cp does cause I just tried it . Don't forget to change the addresse "http://www.enter_addresse_here.com" in the code.

Make backup

Thanx alot

I just tried it and it works thanx alot

No probleme

I have a similar problem now that I upgraded to v 6.2 from 6.1. I had added two graphics below the “my profile | register | search | faq | forum home” line by modifying the $MainButtonsLine code in ubb_lib.cgi.

The original code was:

quote:

---

$MainButtons = qq!
$MyProfileLink $ifmyreg $RegisterLink $ifregsearch $SearchLink $ifsearchrest $vars_wordlets{faq_link} | $vars_wordlets{forum_home_link}

---

And I added this right below it:

quote:

---

---

But now the code in ubb_lib.cgi is completely different:

quote:

---

if ($vars_registration{DisplayRegistration} ne 'NO') {
# My Profile
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets{profile_link}));

if($vars_registration{SuspendRegister} ne "true") {
# Register
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets{register_link}));
} # end if
} # end if

if ($vars_search{AllowSearch} ne 'FALSE') {
# Search
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets{search_link}));
}

# FAQ
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets{faq_link}));
# Forum Home
push(@items, qq($vars_wordlets{forum_home_link}));

return join(" | ", @items)
} # end MainButtonOptions

---

I tried 20 different ways of adding my code to the end of this but it crashed my board every time. Anybody have any suggestions as to the proper way to add my buttons to this code?

FYI, don't get used to MainButtonLine being in ubb_lib, it moves to public_common in 6.2.2.

First things first - do you understand what the new code does? If not, please say so so I can whip up an explanation.

Only once you learn what the code is doing can you modify it safely.

Thats cool that its moving to public_common as I just don't like hacking ubb_lib for some reason as i always get some kind of error when hacking it.

I am afraid I do not know what that code does. I just assumed it is the code for the link bar, but I do not know how it works.
