Navigation Menu items

[digevoc]

Hello,

How does one change the names of the items in the navigation menu?  I'm having difficulty locating them...

All I want really is to change the name "Album List" to something like "Gallery"..

Thanks very much for any help as I continue to search these forums for an answer...

Edit the appropriate language file in the /lang folder.

Hi digevoc,
are you aware the 'Album List' link takes you to the category page of the cat you are in, not back to the main page.

If you want a link directly back to the index.php, which is what I did, just add a new link, in your theme.php, like this;

Find code

Code Select Expand

<!-- BEGIN album_list -->
                        <a href="{ALB_LIST_TGT}" title="{ALB_LIST_TITLE}">{ALB_LIST_LNK}</a> ::
<!-- END album_list -->

Note, depending on the theme, there may be some formating.


Copy all between the BEGIN and END notes.

Paste it above the album list code.

Now change the {ALB_LIST_TGT} to 'your index.php url'.
Change the {ALB_LIST_TITLE}  and the {ALB_LIST_LNK} to 'Gallery'

Upload and away you go.

Hi, i wanted to know how to add extra links to the gallery and was directed to this post.
Where do i start and where do i edit to add the links to other parts of my site.

Did you actually read the post above yours.

It says where to do it, and how to do it.

But just to make it clear;

1. Open themes/your_theme/theme.php.

2.  Find the code

Code Select Expand

<!-- BEGIN album_list -->
                        <a href="{ALB_LIST_TGT}" title="{ALB_LIST_TITLE}">{ALB_LIST_LNK}</a> ::
<!-- END album_list -->

Now copy everything except the <!-- BEGIN album_list --> and <!-- END album_list -->

3.  Paste it immediately above the code you copied, and change the {ALB_LIST_TGT} to 'your link url'.
Change the {ALB_LIST_TITLE} and the {ALB_LIST_LNK} to 'your_link_name'.

You have now created a new link which will show on your main menu.
