2. How do I add shoutout to my forum page?

Here is an example

thanks

step by step intruction would be greatly appreciated.

You can edit menupal.php to modify the menu links.

Allen placed an <iframe> in a table column next to his forum to create that. He probably could explain that one better.

There are 2 or 3 threads around here that discuss creating a column layout. I'll search and see if I can find them. You can use the same <iframe> tag code that the shoutboxpal.php script uses.

great

I did search myself But it was too hard for me to understand.
I even tried to change the menu but failed for lack of language in php.

If you can explain in simple language I would appreciate that.

To add things to the list of items in the menu, open menupal.php and find this:

}
echo "$tableEnd{$wrapper[$wrapnum]['table_footer']}";

?>

ABOVE it, add your URL's like this:

echo "$rowStart<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/whatever/page.html">My Links</a>$rowEnd2";
echo "$rowStart<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/whatever/another.html">Another Page</a>$rowEnd2";
echo "$rowStart<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/whatever/lastone.html">Last One</a>$rowEnd2";

Hope that helps.

great

That worked now how do I place it so shout out is place in every forum?

It seems there has been a minor code change. What is the best way to add items to the menu? Still put it in menupal.php above ?> ?
How about removing them? For instance,File Attachments and Polls are not needed features. There presence on the Menu just creates minor confusion. Is it ok to just mark them out in languagepal.php?

For the two you stated delete this code

if ($paction == "polls") {
echo "$rowStart<strong>{$pal_Menu[2]}</strong>$palResize$rowEnd";
}
else {
echo "$rowStart<a href="$palurl?Cat=$Cat&paction=polls$insertSize">{$pal_Menu[2]}</a>$rowEnd";
}
if ($paction == "attachments") {
echo "$rowStart<strong>{$pal_Menu[3]}</strong>$palResize$rowEnd";
}
else {
echo "$rowStart<a href="$palurl?Cat=$Cat&paction=attachments$insertSize">{$pal_Menu[3]}</a>$rowEnd";
}

The to add something do this down the bottom after

echo "$rowStart<a href="$palurl?Cat=$Cat&paction=recommend">{$pal_Menu[11]}</a>$rowEnd2";
}

add something like this

echo "$rowStartYOURHTMLHERE$rowEnd2";
