XF 2.2 How to add a New Tab to my What's New Menu

[DigNap15]

Hello
I want to add a new Tab to my What's New Menu
I think I do this by setting up a new Navigation item in ACP Set Up Public Navigation
I want the new tab to take my members to a fourm node
Do I enter this as the link
Eg Link {{ link ('the-main-issues-3') }}

Where "the main issues-3" is the name of my category node

Go to Setup >> Navigation and you will see it.

Just do it and see. It won't crash your site. Trial and error is ok with this.

You can use a hyperlink

Thanks for that.
I was worried that it might crash the site.
And I always do a backup before doing major changes

Thanks
I'll try it in 12 hours time, when most of my users are asleep

I did it last night and its all OK.

But the Menu option to the Categories list appears in the top "Whats new Menu"
Which is great for desktop users.

But how can I get the link to the Categories List to appear when members click the Lightening Bolt (top right of screen) on mobile which takes them to annother Whats New Menu which also shows above the Forum list on desktop

Here is a screen dump

I'd like the new Categories option to appear in the yellow highlighted area.
How do I get access to this area?

Template edit for one of the Whats New templates perhaps?



Most likely the whats_new_wrapper where this code is?

<xf:macro name="links" arg-pageSelected="!" arg-baseClass="!" arg-selectedClass="!">
    <a class="{$baseClass} {{ $pageSelected == 'overview' ? {$selectedClass} : '' }}" href="{{ link('whats-new') }}">{{ phrase('whats_new') }}</a>
    <!--[XF:links:start]-->
    <a class="{$baseClass} {{ $pageSelected == 'new_thread' ? {$selectedClass} : '' }}" href="{{ link('whats-new/posts') }}" rel="nofollow">{{ phrase('new_posts') }}</a>
    <!--[XF:links:after_thread]-->
    <xf:if is="$xf.visitor.canViewProfilePosts()">
        <a class="{$baseClass} {{ $pageSelected == 'new_profile_post' ? {$selectedClass} : '' }}" href="{{ link('whats-new/profile-posts') }}" rel="nofollow">{{ phrase('new_profile_posts') }}</a>
    </xf:if>
    <!--[XF:links:after_profile_post]-->
    <xf:if is="$xf.options.enableNewsFeed">
        <xf:if is="$xf.visitor.user_id">
            <a class="{$baseClass} {{ $pageSelected == 'news_feed' ? {$selectedClass} : '' }}" href="{{ link('whats-new/news-feed') }}" rel="nofollow">{{ phrase('your_news_feed') }}</a>
        </xf:if>

        <a class="{$baseClass} {{ $pageSelected == 'latest_activity' ? {$selectedClass} : '' }}" href="{{ link('whats-new/latest-activity') }}" rel="nofollow">{{ phrase('latest_activity') }}</a>
    </xf:if>
