Well, tried it and tho I did the echo stuff right, it was making tables under the menu bar..lol

I am guessing I am not editing the correct spot.

Code Select Expand

// Show the menu up top.  Something like [home] [help] [profile] [logout]...
function template_menu()
{



Does that go into another file just for the menu? If so, I havnt found it.

Then this is underneath it

Code Select Expand

// Show the [home] and [help] buttons.
echo '
  <a href="', $scripturl, '">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/home.gif" alt="' . $txt[103] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[103]), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'];
if($settings['TPortal_front_type']!='boardindex')

echo '   <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=forum">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/forum.gif" alt="Forum Index" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : 'Forum Index'), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'];

echo '   <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=help" target="_blank">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/help.gif" alt="' . $txt[119] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[119]), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'];

// How about the [search] button?
if ($context['allow_search'])
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=search">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/search.gif" alt="' . $txt[182] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[182]), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'];

// Is the user allowed to administrate at all? ([admin])
if ($context['allow_admin'])
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=admin">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/admin.gif" alt="' . $txt[2] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[2]), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'];

// Edit Profile... [profile]
if ($context['allow_edit_profile'])
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=profile">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/profile.gif" alt="' . $txt[79] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[467]), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'];

// The [calendar]!
if ($context['allow_calendar'])
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=calendar">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/calendar.gif" alt="' . $txt['calendar24'] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt['calendar24']), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'];

// If the user is a guest, show [login] and [register] buttons.
if ($context['user']['is_guest'])
{
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=login">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/login.gif" alt="' . $txt[34] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[34]), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'], '

}
// Otherwise, they might want to [logout]...
else
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=logout;sesc=', $context['session_id'], '">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/logout.gif" alt="' . $txt[108] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[108]), '</a>';
}


That to me looks like the code that makes the menu bar, correct?  I tried to echo the table center around that, but it didnt work, it was making a table under it..

[sooner]

I also found template_menu   

tried putting table tags around that, but it all it does it shift things around..

[sooner]

well, i will try some more tomorrow... at least I have learned all about echo  hehe

[tick]

Find

Code Select Expand

// Show the start of the tab section.
echo '
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="margin-left: 10px;">


And replace with

Code Select Expand

// Show the start of the tab section.
echo '
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="margin-center: 10px;">

You'll notice towards the top of the index.template file a place where the actual menu is called. Not the function code that you posted. Edit the table that its already sitting in.

Tick:  I searched for that code, but it did not find it in the index.template.php file.

Tick,
It's Babylon Theme, meaning it's different than smf Default..

[sooner]
