Changing the topmenu link names?

[avatarlab]

Help needed!

Where in the files can I change the actual link names?

For example: the current links are Album list | My profile |  FAQ
Logout [avatarlab] |  Last uploads | Last comments | Most viewed | Top rated | My Favorites | Search

I'd like to change a few of them to cut down on space and to get rid of the nasty capitals.
I'd like to have up there:
home  :: avatars :: profile :: faq :: logout :: new avs :: comments :: ratings :: faves :: search ::
I have already sussed out how to add extra links, now I need to know how to change the existing ones.

Cheers,
Fey~

this is in your language file, e.g. /lang/english.php.

this is in your language file, e.g. /lang/english.php.

Would you have to update your english-utf-8.php file along with the english.php?

and is it okay to empty the quotes:
'alb_list_title' => 'Go to the album list', changed to this 'alb_list_title' => '',

I know there's one question per thread, but I thought this would all be relative.  Sorry if that's not cool.

Would you have to update your english-utf-8.php file along with the english.php?

only if you have set " Character encoding" to "Unicode (utf-8)" in coppermine config (then the utf-8 file is the only one that needs to be edited). If you have not set coppermine up to use utf-8, you can savely delete all file ending with "utf-8.php" in your lang folder (and all languages you don't use anyway if you want to save space).

and is it okay to empty the quotes:
'alb_list_title' => 'Go to the album list', changed to this 'alb_list_title' => '',

yes, go ahead - but it's not recommended though. If you want to get rid of the album list link, edit themes/yourtheme/theme.php, find

Code Select Expand

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

Code Select Expand

<!-- BEGIN album_list -->
                        <!--<a href="{ALB_LIST_TGT}" title="{ALB_LIST_TITLE}">{ALB_LIST_LNK}</a> ::-->
<!-- END album_list -->instead. Remember to enable breadcrumb navigation in this case to give your visitors a chance to go back/up.

I'm using the OS theme and My Profile shows as "@". I can't seem to change it. How do I do this?

[Joachim Müller]

don't try hijacking threads with unrelated requests. Edit themes/mac_ox_x/theme.php, find

Code Select Expand

                                                <a href="javascript:;" onMouseOver="MM_showHideLayers('Menu1','','show')">@</a>and edit accordingly.

Sorry.

I tried doing that, it says:


Fatal error: Call to undefined function: theme_display_album_list_cat() in /home/soong/public_html/wow/index.php on line 647

[kegobeer]

Post the original code snippet and the modified code snippet.

[Soong]

Original:

Code Select Expand

<a href="javascript:;" onMouseOver="MM_showHideLayers('Menu1','','show')">@</a>

Modified:

Code Select Expand

<a href="javascript:;" onMouseOver="MM_showHideLayers('Menu1','','show')">Profile</a>

[kegobeer]

And you didn't accidentally delete anything from your theme.php file, like the theme_display_album_list_cat function?

[Soong]

Nope. Tried it a few times now and I still get the same. It's weird cos I did it before (about 6 months ago) and it worked fine. No idea what's going on.

[kegobeer]

Restore the theme.php to it's original state, then post a link to your site with a test user/password.
