I have upgraded to 3.0 and my skin that I have been using is working ok except for one thing. My custom page link isn't showing up in the menu at the top of the page on each page. It shows up in the menu block list of links and on the page links page. How do I get it to show up on the pages themselves though in the menu array? Do I change something in the variables or is there something else I need to do.
Go back and read "READ THIS BEFORE POSTING!" again. (#3)
sorry about that. Here is the link. http://ltaurfanfics.awardspace.com/index.php
The links page link doesn't show up on any of the pages on the site on the main menu at the top of the page.
From the custom page admin panel:
The name you assign to your custom page will be the {NAME_link} variable for you to use in your skins. The script will append "_link" to the name to help prevent naming conflicts with other variables. The title will be the title of the page. For the URL of your custom page, you may use either viewpage.php?id=ID or viewpage.php?page=NAME where ID is the ID number of the page or NAME is the name of the page.
You have {links} in your header.tpl. It should be {links_link}.
ok changed it to what you said it should be but it hasn't made a difference.
http://ltaurfanfics.awardspace.com/index.htm I changed it in the variables page as well in case I needed to do that but that didn't help either.
Go to your Admin->Page Links panel and make sure the Links page is listed there.
it is listed there. I checked that several days ago and I think it was one of the first things I checked.
Okay I see that you added the CSSZen skin. I now see your problem. It's case sensitive. You need to use {Links_link} in your .tpl.
unfortunately its still not working. I noticed when I had the elegance skin on my archive that it did show up which makes me inclined to think that it is the skin that is the issue as its a 2.0 skin. Other things such as the shoutbox and other links I had ticked in the menu block options don't show either and I think thats because the links aren't there on the tpls for the skin. So I think I'm going to have to lose my current skin and use one of the 3.0 ones that comes with the download and edit that to use.
Check to see if you have a variables.php file in your skin, and make sure nothing is set in there that may prevent them from showing up.
My old skin did have a variables and it seemed to be set correctly. In the end I gave it up and I"ve edited the elegance skin and created a new Starry skin from that.
