modding the navbar
 

can someone tell me how i make changes to the navbar?

i have a customised style and have removed all other styles including all the default ones.
now the navbar links should look like this

User CP / FAQ / members list / calendar / new posts / search / quick links / log out

all the links are there and are working correctly but the text saying

'members list'
'new posts'
'quicklinks'

is not there. These links do work, its just that there it no text saying what the link is to.
Can someone tell me how i make changes to the navbar as i am new to making forums. I am sure i have to edit the navbar template code in someway but im not sure how.
I thought i would search the navbar tenplate for calendar as that link text shows up fine and maybe i could see where that was and work it out from there. But I could'nt find it.

So i am now stuck.

Look for the phrases that should be connected to those.

sorry what do you mean? the php filenames that they link to?

Look in your navbar template. Do you have a line like this:
<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/memberlist.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[members_list]</a>

That is the link to the memberlist page and the text is from a phrase called "members_list". So, go into Admin CP > Language & Phrases > Search in Phrases > put in "members_list" and click next to Phrase Variable Name Only and hit find. See what is in there.

Thank you, Lynne. I should have explained it better, sorry.

Sometimes you never know exactly what to say that will ring the bell for someone. Who knows if I clarified it better, or just confused him more! :eek:

ahh i see there is a seperate template called phrases that i need to edit.

yes that is clarified better lol.

thanks for your help both of you i will go and try that now

Yes, but you do it with such style and grace. Not like my clumsy attempts. ;)

i went to the navbar template and i cant even find members.php when i search it.

any other suggestions?

Then it's probably not even there, so add it. Something like this for memberlist:
