XF 1.5 Add Link To Forum Tab

[Ariel Schnee]

How can I add a link to the forum tab? I know it's possible since so many addons add their own stuff under there. So I must be able to too.

What I mean by 'link' is that list that appears when you hover over the 'Forum' tab. What I want to do is add one to it called 'All' that, when clicked, will lead to a specific url. How do I do that right now?

Let me know. Thanks! Have a good night/day now!

You would need to edit the navigation template and manually add the relevant HTML code.

What is the 'Navigation Template'? Where is it? And exactly what do I do with it then?

Thanks for all your help!

Search your templates for navigation

There are dozens of those. How do I know which is the right one? And what do I do with it when I find it?

Are you talking about the sub-nav under the main tab?

It’s literally called navigation. Follow this guide for a general idea on adding items. https://xenforo.com/community/resources/add-a-recent-posts-link-to-the-navigation-bar.2141/

Yeah. The large list that appears when you hover over 'Forum'. I want to add one to it.

There are a lot of them called 'navigation'.

In acp, Setup >> Public navigation

At least in v2.

Not in 1.5

There is only one template called “navigation “

Gotcha

Oh. It was the one with 'Navigation' by itself. Why didn't you say so. There are many with 'navigation' somewhere in them there. I didn't know which one you were talking about.

I went to ACP > Appearance > Styles > FP Default Black Background >

FP Default Black Background: Templates

.

Ok. I used your link https://xenforo.com/community/resources/add-a-recent-posts-link-to-the-navigation-bar.2141/ . Then I searched for

'watched/threads'

until I found it.

Then I made this adjustment.

I changed

							<li><a href="{xen:link 'watched/forums'}">{xen:phrase watched_forums}</a></li>
							<li><a href="{xen:link 'watched/threads'}">{xen:phrase watched_threads}</a></li>
						</xen:if>

to

							<li><a href="{xen:link 'watched/forums'}">{xen:phrase watched_forums}</a></li>
							<li><a href="{xen:link 'watched/threads'}">{xen:phrase watched_threads}</a></li>
							<li><a href="https://www.fanficparadise.com/index.htm">Fanfic Paradise</a></li>
						</xen:if>

. It worked. Now I know where to add this.

Now for my next question... Is there a way to apply this to all the styles I have at once? Because I have a lot of styles. And I don't feel like manually editing each one.

Thanks for all your help!

Upgrade to v2 it's much easier.

You would have to do a template modification. See point 3 here on an idea how to do that, https://xenforo.com/community/resources/cta-featured-threads-user-preferences.2834/
