Title: Tabs Help
Post by: Pixels on August 03, 2010, 09:38:43 AM: Is it possible to edit, add, or remove tabs on the navigation bar at the top of the forum?

e.g. Home | Forum | Help | Search..

How you do this depends on the theme you are using.
You don't need any SimplePortal knowledge to do this -- you can read about adding theme buttons at simplemachines.org, or you can have a look at SimplePortal's add-a-button tutorial at
http://simpleportal.net/index.php?topic=52.0 (http://simpleportal.net/index.php?topic=52.0)

This is for non-curve themes. For curve themes, you don't edit a theme file at all :nervous-happy:

Post by: deansmar on August 04, 2010, 03:00:31 AM: it does not really matter which theme your using, adding Tabs is done in the Subs.php

Adding tabs to SMF 2.0 (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=261880.0) try this tutorial, this will give you Tabs in SMF and SP

if you need more help then there are a few more pointers on the SMF website, that i have worked on.
