ipb mods


Awhile back I myself was wondering how I could add tabs to one of my IPB installs that link to not an application, but forums on the site. You can even use this tutorial to link to completely different sites, or to add icons to all your menu items.







You can see I added menu entries for glitching, modding and gaming. You can add extra tabs between your existing ones set by applications or you can put them all before or after.



First you're going to need to modify your skin.

Go to edit your globalTemplate file and hit control F on your keyword. This will allow you to search through the code. Type showhomeurl and it will jump you to the beginning of where the menu starts.



Go ahead and add this code:

[CODE]

<li id='nav_custom'><a href='http://google.com/' title='Google' rel="custom">

<img src="http://ipbcore.net/public/style_images/core/_custom/icon_primary_home.png" /> Google</a></li>

[/CODE]



Just above the closing </if> tag. Like this.







Now you can see where I put my modding, glitching and gaming menu entries. Should you like to place it before all the other menu items simply put it just above the showhomeurl tag. If you would like to put it in between stock applications that's possible too, just look for where the code for each stops and starts.



Well that's it, feel free to leave comments or ask for support.
