Title: Adding a "Gallery Button on the Main SMF Window
Post by: MatthewSchenker on June 04, 2007, 06:23:02 PM
Hi,
I installed Coppermine on my test forum, and it is running great.  The features are terrific.  I also successfully integrated Coppermine with my forum.

But I would like to have a "Gallery" button on the main menu.  When my members click on the button, it would open the URL for Coppermine in a separate window.

Is there a plug-in that does this?

If not, can someone tell me how to add it manually?

Thanks!

Ask at SMF. It's their software you are asking about.

OK, thanks.  I did check on the SMF forum, but the method seems kind of complicated.

I thought since this is a board on bridging, maybe someone here knew of a way to do this more easily from Coppermine.  The other bridging functions from Coppermine work so well, I was hoping Coppermine had a feature for this.

Coppermine does not modify your forum in any way, so you can't accomplish this 'from Coppermine'.

Adding a link to the SMF menu is dead easy. However, as Nibbler suggested: it is none of our business - you should ask this on the SMF board. This is one of the threads I found on the SMF community that explains how to add menu items: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=63203.0

You might also try "[How To] Coppermine within SMF (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=25877.0)"

If you have further questions on adding a menu, please do as suggested and look up the SMF board.
