Solved Renameing Navigation Links

Post by SummerRed June 18th 2013, 12:26 am

I was  trying to rename the 'Home' button in the Navigation bar. I know how to create a new link and how to hide certain parts of the Navigation. That is not what I want. I just want to rename 'Home' to Index.

Forum URL: http://forum.sims-pets.com/

Thanks in advance!

That is what I want. and I followed what he said to do and it doesnt work.
Did I do it correctly:
Code:
$(function() {
document.getElementById('i_icon_mini_home').nextSibling.nodeValue='Index';
});

You should be able to do this with CSS.

Add this to your CSS Stylesheet (found under Admin Panel -> Display -> Pictures and Colors -> Colors -> CSS Stylesheet).

Code:
a.mainmenu[href="/"] {
content: "Index";
}

Nope... Id don't understand what I am doing wrong.

I don't understand why you can't just modify the grayed out text. This is ridiculous. I am not illiterate in this sort of thing so I know I am doing it correctly.

Might be because he has no images set for the navigation bar...

Can you provide us access to a test account so I can have a look at what the forum looks like for a registered user, please, SummerRed?

As I thought, you haven't set any images for the navbar so the codes we provided did not work.

If you are using phpBB 2, you can edit templates and - assuming that you would be ready to do so - I could edit them for you if you don't know how to do so. That would require me to have access to the founder account, so if you really feel that you cannot do it alone, PM me the account details. Otherwise, if you know how to edit the templates, I can give you the necessary instructions, as second option.

Code:
<td align="{MENU_POSITION}"{MENU_NOWRAP}>{GENERATED_NAV_BAR}</td>

This line is what you need to replace.

If you don't know what to modify for your script to work, tell me.
