Title: Extra Nav Button - Edit Buddies
Post by: maximx86 on January 04, 2008, 11:19:46 AM

Hi,

How can I add a button with link to 'Edit Buddies'? I tried to edit index.template.php adding the following lines but received an error

Code Select

// Show the [main site] button.
		echo '<li><a href="http://mysite.com/index.php?action=profile;u=1;sa=editBuddies">Show Buddies</a></li>';

I am sure there is a more reasonable way of doing it...

Thanks

I am sorry for hassling you. Can you send me a link to the "Posting Guide"?
It's quite difficult to find it and I am new to this site. I found a link to 'Forum Rules'

http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?topic=2520.0

but it seems to be broken...

Thanks,

I am using the latest version (Powered by SMF 1.1.4 ) and TP TinyPortal v0.9.8. I am using the 'Outlline' theme designed by 'dzinerstudio

These are the mods I have insta;;ed
Ad Managment     2.3
SMF Gallery Lite     1.8.1.2
Enhanced Calendar     1.1

The error I get while adding the lines below into ndex.template.php is

Code Select

// Show the [main site] button.
		echo '<li><a href="http://mysite.com/index.php?action=profile;u=1;sa=editBuddies">Show Buddies</a></li>';

An Error Has Occurred!
You are not allowed to access this section

I am not using any other CMSs... The SMF is installed on a linux box which has access to the Internet yet so I cannot give you the url yet...I will be online next week...

I hope this is enough information for you to help me. Let me know please if you need anything else.

Thanks

Thank you

You are getting that error because the link is pointing to the u=1 account which is admin. If everyone tried to click that link then of course, they will get an error because they cannot edit the admins buddies.

Code Select

// Show the [main site] button.
		echo '<li><a href="http://mysite.com/index.php?action=profile;u=',$context['user']['id'],';sa=editBuddies">Show Buddies</a></li>';

Thanks IchBin

Works great ::).
There is one more thing. The button isn't displayed correctly and it is not underlined when mouseover.

Last time I was adding something in here (code below) to get the button look normal, but I do not know what to put in here now..

Code Select

	$current_action = 'admin';
	if (in_array($context['current_action'], array('search', 'admin', 'calendar', 'profile', 'mlist', 'register',

Many thanks
