Adding classname in Sysmenu and Submenu

[manchumahara]

I was trying to make new theme but got some lack of class name in Sysmenu and Submenu. Actually I wanted this type of class name in menu link
<a class="button_home" title="Go to the home page" href="index.php">Home</a>

Look if there was classname like "button_home"  in each menu link then it's easy to apply custom image or style using css.
Then I tried to make this happen and I did it. Here is what I have done .

Open file galleryroot\include\themes.inc.php find function assemble_template_buttons and then find

Code Select Expand

    foreach ($buttons as $button)  {
      if (isset($button[4])) {
         $spacer=$button[4];
      } else {
      $spacer='';
      }

After that just add

Code Select Expand

     if (isset($button[5])) {
         $classname=$button[5];
      } else {
      $classname='';
      }

Now find    '{SPACER}'     => $spacer, and add the bellow line before this
'{CLASSNAME}' =>$classname,   


Find  function addbutton  and change the function like bellow

Code Select Expand

// Creates an array of tokens to be used with function assemble_template_buttons
// this function is used in this file it needs to be declared before being called.
if (!function_exists('addbutton')) {  //{THEMES}
function addbutton(&$menu,$href_lnk,$href_title,$href_tgt,$block_id,$spacer[b],$classname[/b]) {
  $menu[]=array($href_lnk,$href_title,$href_tgt,$block_id,$spacer[b],$classname[/b]);
}
}  //{THEMES}

In the above code I have added the bold part to add a class name in menu link

Now find this line    "// HTML template for template sys_menu buttons"

and change code like bellow

Code Select Expand

  // HTML template for template sys_menu buttons
  if (!isset($template_sys_menu_button)) { //{THEMES}
  $template_sys_menu_button = <<<EOT
  <!-- BEGIN {BLOCK_ID} -->
        <a href="{HREF_TGT}" title="{HREF_TITLE}" [b]class="{CLASSNAME}"[/b]>{HREF_LNK}</a> {SPACER}
  <!-- END {BLOCK_ID} -->
EOT;
  } //{THEMES}

Here I have changed the bold part ]

Now find with keyword  addbutton and check all the matchings.
You will get this type of lines


// HTML template for template sys_menu buttons
if (!isset($sys_menu_buttons)) { //{THEMES}
  // {HREF_LNK}{HREF_TITLE}{HREF_TGT}{BLOCK_ID}{SPACER}
  addbutton($sys_menu_buttons,'{HOME_LNK}', '{HOME_TITLE}', '{HOME_TGT}', 'home', $template_sys_menu_spacer, 'button_home');
  addbutton($sys_menu_buttons,'{MY_GAL_LNK}', '{MY_GAL_TITLE}', '{MY_GAL_TGT}', 'my_gallery', $template_sys_menu_spacer,'button_mygallery');
  .
  .
  .
  addbutton($sys_menu_buttons, '{LOGIN_LNK}', '{LOGIN_TITLE}', '{LOGIN_TGT}', 'login','','button_login');
  addbutton($sys_menu_buttons, '{LOGOUT_LNK}', '{LOGOUT_TITLE}', '{LOGOUT_TGT}', 'logout', '','button_logout');
  // Login and Logout don't have a spacer as only one is shown, and either would be the last option.
} //{THEMES}


Here I have added the bold part for class name. Hope this will help you.

Don't hesitate to ask me if u are confued.

How can u add an image before a menu link
just add this type code in your style sheet. If class name of "Home" menu is "button_home" then
add new entry in css file like this
a.button_home{ background:url(images/icon_home.gif) left top no-repeat; padding-left:17px; padding-right:4px;}

Here icon_home.gif is image name that u have to put in "images" folder in the theme .

Thanks for your readiness to share. This is not related to the modpack in itself, but applies to a "standard" coppermine install as well.
I suggest using the bbcode button [ c o d e ] more often in your postings. I partially edited your posting accordingly, although you make use of the bold button, so I can hardly use it throughout your posting.

Thank you Joachim Müller . Actually I am habitual with phpbb forum and in it bbcode buttons are well iconed. Sorry, next time I will post correctly.

If u think that the post is in wrong place then pls take it to relevant section.

Thanks
