XF 1.2 move tab before forums

[Adam Howard]

So I learned that if I go in debug mode, I can change the order of my tabs by changing the process order for the navigation.

What I can't seem to figure out is how to put something before the "forums" tab.

Home | Blogs | Forums | Media | Members

Is how I would prefer it to be.

In the Listener for the add-on, there will be a function that creates the navigation tab. You should be able to ascertain which PHP file handles that by looking at the callback of the aforementioned code event listener, where you changed the process order.

Quite simply there will be a PHP array that defines the tab, title, link etc. also its position. Its position is currently "middle". Change it to "home". That should sit between Home and Forums.

FWIW another valid position is "end" which would sit it after the Members tab.

I do not think I can change it to "home" as the portal I am using is already home.

Or am I wrong?

You are wrong.

"home" is just a position. It doesn't mean to refer to any specific tab of the same name. Think of it more as "Start" in the context of the positions below.

There are three positions.

Home: Between Home and Forums.
Middle: Between Forums and Members.
End: After Members.

You can have as many navigation tabs as you like at each position (you can then fine tune the order of those tabs at each position with the execution order of the listener).

It should work.

The position in the listener won't replace the home tab

It did end up above home, which I didn't want it to do.... But then I just changed the process order in debug mode and that solved it.

Thank you @Chris Deeming

Solution:

For those who may want to do the same

library/XfAddOns/Blogs/Template/Navigation.php

look for

      self::addLinkToBlogsHomePage($extraTabs, $selectedTabId, 'middle');

change to

      self::addLinkToBlogsHomePage($extraTabs, $selectedTabId, 'home');

Don't thank me... Thank Chris

Want to correct myself....

Look for

    {
       self::addLinkToBlogsHomePage($extraTabs, $selectedTabId, 'middle');
     }
     else
     {
       self::addLinkToMyBlog($extraTabs, $selectedTabId, 'middle');
     }

And replace "middle" (which is there 2x) with "home" so when done it will look like this

    {
       self::addLinkToBlogsHomePage($extraTabs, $selectedTabId, 'home');
     }
     else
     {
       self::addLinkToMyBlog($extraTabs, $selectedTabId, 'home');
     }
