Hi peeps :)
Can anyone code savvy person tell me where the snippet of code is, so i can join up (no spaces) my top munu buttons please.
Most themes have the template_menu function located at the bottom. You'll find all the links there. Sometimes they have styles applied to them from the style.css file too.
Is it just a case of spacing/padding then?
Depends on the theme. But yes, it's mostly just how its padding and margins are set.
Just a varient of the default. But for some reason i can`t get the gaps closed :(
Change the template_menu function at the bottom of the index.template.php file to this:
// Show the menu up top. Something like [home] [help] [profile] [logout]...
function template_menu()
{
global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt;
// 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 0px;" border="0" />' : $txt[103]), '</a>';
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 0px;" border="0" />' : 'Forum Index'), '</a>';
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 0px;" border="0" />' : $txt[119]), '</a>';
// How about the [search] button?
if ($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" />' : $txt[182]), '</a>';
// Is the user allowed to administrate at all? ([admin])
if ($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>';
echo '<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=tpadmin">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/tpadmin.gif" alt="Tiny Portal Admin" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : 'TPadmin'), '</a>';
}
// Edit Profile... [profile]
if ($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>';

// 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>

}

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>';
}
Just tried and got this:
Template Parse Error!
There was a problem loading the /Themes/test-theme/index.template.php template or language file. Please check the syntax and try again - remember, single quotes (') often have to be escaped with a slash (\). To see more specific error information from PHP, try accessing the file directly.
You may want to try to refresh this page or use the default theme.
It works fine for me.
Mind posting your index.template file? or email me.
No worries. Here ya go: I just copied and pasted.

Yeah, sorry lol forgot that bit.
