Topic: unable to create forum button in extreme6 theme

[Ciler]

I am not able to create a forum button in simple portal to access the forum. I tried several times to follow the tutorial with no success so I hope somebody can solve my problem. My theme is extreme6!!

Here is my index.template.php:

// Show the menu up top.  Something like [home] [help] [pm] [logout] [login] ...
function template_menu()
{
        global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt;


   echo '
   <div id="kwick">
   <ul class="kwicks">';

        // Show the [home] button.
                  echo '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '" class="kwick opt1">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/home.png" alt="' . $txt[103] . '" style="margin: 0px 0;" border="0" /><span>' : $txt[103]), '</span></a></li>';

        // Show the [help] button.
                  echo '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=help" class="kwick opt2" >', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/help.png" alt="' . $txt[119] . '" style="margin: 0px 0;" border="0" /><span>' : $txt[119]), '</span></a></li>';

        // How about the [search] button?
        if ($context['allow_search'])
                echo '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=search" class="kwick opt3">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] .

        // Is the user allowed to administrate at all? ([admin])
        if ($context['allow_admin']){
                echo '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=admin" class="kwick opt4">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] .

         }

        if ($context['user']['is_guest'])       
                echo '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=login" class="kwick opt9">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] .

    echo '</ul></div>';

If you are using images then you will need to create a 'Themes/default/images/{language}/forum.png' image for your button.

I had this same problem, but i just changed the css for help text into forum and made it redirect to the forums instead of the help page.
