How do I do a DOCS area like here on the site?

Its only a theme. Give the wiki theme a try.

[tick]

You can install the wiki theme and set up a board to use that theme.  The wiki theme gives it that appearance.  The one that Bloc uses here if I am not mistaken is just for this site.  But you can accomplish the same layout of it with that theme.

Very cool
So it's just the them on a specific board.

That is correct.  Click on the link you put up above and check out the linktree and it will show you exactly where its located from the forum view.

Here is another variation of the usage of WIKI theme.
On this site i have just used the SMF wiki theme as it have the options to add fast links to the side with in the index.template.php

I'm trying to do the same thing.  I've created my boards, selected the wiki (smf only) theme (just for those boards) but it still shows up as the forum default theme (mesh tp).

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

You can set the boards to use a theme individually. Admin > Boards > Modify > Choose the theme you want to use.

I've done this.  WikiStyle has already been selected.  For some reason, it doesn't show up.  I didn't know if there was something that would block it.

Can you show us where this is at?

Well it works fine for me as a guest. If you'd like to PM me an account to test it with I'll take a look.

Done deal.  Please check your PM.

I do find it interesting that guests can see it but users can't.  I wonder if I set some of the settings wrong.  It wouldn't surprise me.

[IchBin]

For the record, I just viewed as a user just fine as well.

Maybe..as a admin you can override any theme set, maybe you have set yourself up for another theme?

You gave me an idea when you mentioned that.  I set up a new board and chose "override member theme".  That seemed to do it.  I'll have to check the admin account and see if I checked that for some unknown reason.

Now for a most likely stupid question, what's the best way to add the button "Docs" in the navigation? 

[G6Cad]

You add the button in your index.template.php
Copy the forum button and change the forum to docs and then change the url to where the button should point to

I want to make sure I get this right. 

This is where the docs is located: index.php?board=39.0

Forum button code is:

Code Select Expand

// Show the [forum] button.
   echo ($current_action=='forum' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_first"> </td>' : '' , '
            <td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action=='forum' ? 'active_back' : 'back2' , '">
               <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=forum">'.$txt['tp-forum'].'</a>
            </td>' , $current_action=='forum' ? '<td class="maintab_active_last"> </td>' : '';


change to:

Code Select Expand

// Show the [docs] button.
   echo ($current_action=='docs' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_first"> </td>' : '' , '
            <td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action=='docs' ? 'active_back' : 'back2' , '">
               <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=docs">'.$txt['tp-forum'].'</a>
            </td>' , $current_action=='docs' ? '<td class="maintab_active_last"> </td>' : '';

I don't know how to put the url in there and do I replace 'tp-forum' with 'docs'?

[tick]

Code Select Expand

// Show the [docs] button.
   echo ($current_action=='docs' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_first"> </td>' : '' , '
            <td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action=='docs' ? 'active_back' : 'back2' , '">
               <a href="http://a link to your board">Docs</a>
            </td>' , $current_action=='docs' ? '<td class="maintab_active_last"> </td>' : '';

Try this one.  Just replace the "http://a link to your board" with yours.

Almost Bud!

               <a href="', $scripturl, '?board=39">Docs</a>
            </td>' , $current_action=='docs' ? '<td class="maintab_active_last"> </td>' : '';

You also need to add this above to make it so that the button will highlight when in the forum section. Add it shortly after the others where $current_action is set.

Code Select Expand


if (isset($_GET['board']) && $_GET['board'] == 39)
$current_action = 'docs';

Thanks.  I don't know if I did it right but it's there.

I'd like to thank everybody for their help!
