Changing Navigation-link names with Javascript question for phpbb2

by TonnyKamper Sun 20 Aug - 1:31

Hi dear Forumotioners,

I am trying to rename navigationlinks, because in my language the translation made them too long/wide after a thorough search I found a script and was able to figure out how to make it work for my navbar, it helped me rename the "Je hebt geen nieuwe berichten" (You have no new messages) to a simple "Mailbox" see below code:

Code:: $(function(){ $('.bodylinewidth .bodyline > table:nth-child(2) a.mainmenu[href*="/privmsg?folder=inbox"]').html('Mailbox'); });

I want a few more links changed, so I tried to add a second JS with another link, but nothing happened, tried several other links but still nothing..
It seems like I can only add that script one time, so my question is can I add more links into that one script? And if so how can I do that?

Try adding a coma before the semicolon and add the links you want. Just make sure to add a coma between each link code, but not the last one.

Thank you @SLGray On the risk of sounding foolish what's a semicolon exactly? is it : or ; ? because I'm not sure where to put that coma.. Embarassed

Semicolon = ;

Ah thank you very much @SLGray would it look something like this then?

Code:: $(function(){ $('.bodylinewidth .bodyline > table:nth-child(2) a.mainmenu[href*="/privmsg?folder=inbox"]').html('Mailbox'),; a.mainmenu[href*="/memberlist"]').html('Leden'),; a.mainmenu[href*="/groups"]').html('Groepen'); });

Code:: $(function(){ $('.bodylinewidth .bodyline > table:nth-child(2) a.mainmenu[href*="/privmsg?folder=inbox"]').html('Mailbox'), [href*="/memberlist"]').html('Leden'), [href*="/groups"]').html('Groepen'); });

Thank you very much @SLGray but it did nothing, it even changed the first link back to what it was before.. blackeye
