XF 1.4 Change Order of Navbar and submenu entries?

[Nelson T.]

I am sorry to ask this, but I have looked around and cannot find the answer.

I have modified the names of some of the tabs on our site: www.hobby-machinist.com.
But I would like to change the order of the tabs.

How would I do this?

Please be explicit.
Thank you in advance for your help.

You can edit the navigation template and move the links around as desired.

Here is the template. Do you mean that I literally move the code for the home tab, members, etc?

There are "extra tabs".

Can I specify an exact order (eg 1,2,3)? If so, how?

Correct. For example, if you want to change the order of the sub-navigation links of the Forums tab, look for <!-- forums --> and then move whatever link you want to the desired place.

So if you want Watched Threads to come before Watched Forums, move this code above the Watched Forums code:

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