Hi there,
I am new here and to the whole SMF (Gallery) thing, and I am having what seems to be a common problem understanding what is required to add a gallery button/link to my custome SMF theme. I am using the cs-dk115v1 theme. I did copy an existing button code in the index.template.php file and I did see the new button on the main menu. However when I changed the 'calendar' tags to 'gallery' the button disappeared from the menu bar. I then deleted the changes I had made and reverted back to the standard .php file.

Secondly, the permissions for the gallery do not show up in my permissions area. I have seen new space added in the area, but all lines are blank. The same problem has occured when I attempted to install 'arcade' onto the forum.

Do I add - http://mysite.com/forum/index.php?action=gallery - where the standard command line simply says 'action==[calendar]' etc??\

I seem to have worked this out EXCEPT: - I cant seemt o change the label/button text without making it disappear. I am assuming that this is the code I need to adjust $txt['calendar24'] - because it is the only code for this button that still refers to 'calendar'

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can change $txt['calendar24']  to 'Gallery' and that will make the Gallery tet appear instead. Each custom theme is a little different.

Hi - thanks for that but I did try this and the button disappeared from the menu bar. Left a blank button/space instead. I will give it another try and see what happens....

Yeah I tried this again and it removed the text and reduced the size of the button.

This is the code for the button, that I ahve entered..


// The [gallery]!
   if ($context['allow_calendar'])
      echo ($current_action == 'gallery' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '' : '' , '
            <div class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'gallery' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
               <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=gallery">' , $txt['Gallery'] , '</a>
            </div>' , $current_action == 'gallery' ? '<div class="seperator"><!--no content--></div>' : '<div class="seperator"><!--no content--></div>';

Just do

Code:

// The [gallery]!
   if ($context['allow_calendar'])
      echo ($current_action == 'gallery' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '' : '' , '
            <div class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'gallery' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
               <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=gallery">Gallery</a>
            </div>' , $current_action == 'gallery' ? '<div class="seperator"><!--no content--></div>' : '<div class="seperator"><!--no content--></div>';

Thanks I will give this a try...

Fantastic - this worked a treat - thankyou! Do you know why the permissions would not be showing up in the permissions section!? It seems to have created a space for them (like a table listing) but there are no permission options available at all.....

This following code was listed in the install.gallery.php file, and I am wondering if this is just standard text contained within the file, or if it is actually an error report telling me that the files were not installed correctly.....

I have checked my cpanel and there is no install.gallery.php file in the main root directory where index.php and ssi.php are located. The only place where this install.gallery.php file still resides is in the .zip package file in /packages....??

Here is the code..

//Install the Database tables for SMF Galleryif (file_exists(dirname(__FILE__) . '/SSI.php') && !defined('SMF'))  require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/SSI.php');// Hmm... no SSI.php and no SMF?elseif (!defined('SMF'))  die('<b>Error:</b> Cannot install - please verify you put this in the same place as SMF\'s index.php.');
