Topic: Standalone Portal

[shadow47]

SMF 2.05
SP 2.3.5


When I select Standalone Portal in General Settings, A new Button "Home" appears next to the "Forum" button on the Menu Bar. Is there a way to give the "Home" button a different Name?  If so, where do I change it?

Is there a special reason that my question is not being answered?

You can edit this fairly easy BUT it will cause issues down the line so this is why I guess no one has given you any insight to this.

You need to edit a file so please make a backup before you edit this file.

The file you are looking to edit is located in the Sources Directory and it is named Subs.php.

You will then search for 'home' it will look something like this:

Code: [Select]

// All the buttons we can possible want and then some, try pulling the final list of buttons from cache first.
if (($menu_buttons = cache_get_data('menu_buttons-' . implode('_', $user_info['groups']) . '-' . $user_info['language'] . '-' . empty($context['disable_sp']), $cacheTime)) === null || time() - $cacheTime <= $modSettings['settings_updated'])
{
$buttons = array(
'home' => array(
'title' => '[Home]',
'href' => $scripturl,
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons' => array(
),
'is_last' => $context['right_to_left'],
),you want to edit the 'title' => 'THISPART',

to your desired text.

Good luck

No. That is the wrong way.

Look for a file in the Themes/default/languages folder called: index.english.php

Find:

Code: [Select]

$txt['home'] = 'Home';
Replace with:

Code: [Select]

$txt['home'] = 'NAME';
Do note, there may be other places that use this.

I had already tried the subs.php method. It makes the button completely disappear after renaming.

I also attempted the second solution. renaming the text in index.english.php had no affect at all on the "HOME" button. At least not while in "Standalone" Portal.



Any other possibilities?

[Burke Knight]

After re-naming in index.english.php make sure that you clear the SMF file cache.
Admin -> Forum Maintenance

Then, clear your browser cache.

A link to your site would be good.

Clearing the cache worked for I.E., the Home button now shows up as "Blog" but it is only temporary. As soon as you select any other buttons, it turns back into "Home and stays that way until next login. 

Chrome, still displays as Home all the time. I will keep playing with it. More ideas are welcome.

Link to my new site. http://our-republic.us/index.php?

Maybe someday in a new version, users will be able to rename the Home button in SP configuration.

Welcome to SimplePortal!

I apologize for the delayed response. This is one of the busiest times of the year for me.

The method offered by BurkeKnight should be working fine. Is the change applied at the link you've given above? Do you have any mods that offer the ability to customize the menu? Can you attach the index.template.php file of your custom theme at Themes/{your_theme}/ directory?

[shadow47]

Yes the change supplied  by BurkeKnight was applied at the link above.

It is unclear what you mean by "Can you attach the index.template.php file of your custom theme at Themes/{your_theme}/ directory?"

I am using Whitebox by Crip

[Burke Knight]

He means to reply here attaching a copy of the index.template.php file, so he can take a look.

[shadow47]

Gotcha....

[Burke Knight]

Not that way. As an attachment.
When posting, click the Attachments and other options link under posting text box, and there will be for adding attachment.

The way you have it now, can cause errors, and may not be complete.

Please modify the post, deleting the text, and attach the file as instructed.

Thank you for attaching that file.
I can see that this index.template.php contains a function template_menu which , in fact, uses
$context['menu-buttons'] for the $button['title']. 

That looks right.  The next step would be to see how $context['menu_buttons'][$act]['target'] gets set.
That should be in Subs.php.
Please attach Subs.php.  I am going to guess that function setupMenuContext will have nothing at all surprising in it, but it is worth checking, just to make sure.

Assuming there is nothing at all surprising in function setupMenuContext, the next step is to ask:
What mods do you have installed? Because any mod that allows you to customize that home button is, of course, going to affect what appears on that button.

It could take a little while to track this all down...
