Forum links (help, search, members etc) on front page

[katoona]

Is there any way I can place the forum links on the frontpage?

Any help will be appreciated.

What theme are you using?

[katoona]

Oops, sorry, I am using TPstyle design by Bloc.

Well, Yes, You can add links to the frontpage on tiny portal.

You always can add them in a Menu Manager and have it on the right or left.  Of if you are using a frontblock you can put links on there too

On the Novelty theme the links underneath the logo to the left are there on every page, but in the TP Style theme they are not present on the frontpage, and I have tried every possible setting.

Find  in you index template.php   

Code Select Expand

// check if the no-forum general variable is set
   if(isset($context['TPortal']['not_forum']) && $context['TPortal']['not_forum'])
      $is_forum=false;


and change to

Code Select Expand

// check if the no-forum general variable is set
   if(isset($context['TPortal']['not_forum']) && $context['TPortal']['not_forum'])
      $is_forum=true;


I did just a quick test on this and it seemed fine.    Make a backup first.

It worked - thank you very much.

Sure thing.  Glad to have helped you .

one more thing - when I enter the forum the forum button lights up (current action), but I also want the forum button to light up when I enter an article. Is is possible to create an action for this?

[katoona]

// Work out where we currently are.
   $current_action = 'home';
   $is_forum=true;
   if (in_array($context['current_action'], array('admin', 'ban', 'boardrecount', 'cleanperms', 'detailedversion', 'dumpdb', 'featuresettings', 'featuresettings2', 'findmember', 'maintain', 'manageattachments', 'manageboards', 'managecalendar', 'managesearch', 'membergroups', 'modlog', 'news', 'optimizetables', 'packageget', 'packages', 'permissions', 'pgdownload', 'postsettings', 'regcenter', 'repairboards', 'reports', 'serversettings', 'serversettings2', 'smileys', 'viewErrorLog', 'viewmembers'))){
      $current_action = 'admin';
   }
   if (in_array($context['current_action'], array('bugtracker','search', 'admin', 'calendar', 'profile', 'mlist', 'register', 'login', 'help', 'pm', 'forum', 'tpadmin'))){
      $current_action = $context['current_action'];
   }
   if ($context['current_action'] == 'search2'){
      $current_action = 'search';
   }   

Somewhere in this code? (Current action= article) if possible?
