Have you tried Everwars yet?

Thanks. I did that. I was also NOW wondering, how can I break it to the next line. I added a bunch of links and the menu is way too long.

Hey...I saw this and gave it a try. I figured out how to add a new link...but I can't figure out how to change the displayed text?

If I'm adding a link like "dctalksolo Home" how do I get it to actually say "dctalksolo Home?" I have the link working.

Here is my current community:

Anyone? Help please?

You should just edit the text directly in the template, as described by Ron M. I believe it's fairly plain HTML there.

Thanks for the response...but this is not "simple HTML."

Here is the line...and it's not all showing up correctly do to friendly smilie code:

# Forum Home
push(@items, qq(<a href="$ULTIMATEBB" title="$vars_wordlets{forum_acronym}">$vars_wordlets{forum_home_link}</a>));

And here's the line I copied/added:

# dctalksolo Home
push(@items, qq(<a href="http://www.dctalksolo.com" title="$vars_wordlets{forum_acronym}">$vars_wordlets{forum_home_link}</a>));

I tried a number of things, and got errors all over the place. I have the link working, now I need to change "Forum Home" to "dctalksolo Home."

Any help?

Change title="$vars_wordlets{forum_acronym}" in your own code to title="dctalksolo Home".

Thanks for the additional help...but it's still not working.

I did exactly what you said...and I'm not seeing any errors, but it still says "Forum Home" and not "dctalksolo Home."

Here is my line of code...

# dctalksolo Home
push(@items, qq(<a href="http://www.dctalksolo.com" title="dctalksolo Home">$vars_wordlets{forum_home_link}</a>));

Young Tae Byun, add a <br> where you want a break.

mcneesek, create a test login if you want me to check. Or better yet, just clear your cache and check again.

I think if you just replace the $vars_wordlets{forum_home_link} with dctalksolo Home as shown below, you will be all set.

<pre># dctalksolo Home

push(@items, qq(<a href="http://www.dctalksolo.com" title="dctalksolo Home">dctalksolo Home</a>)); </pre>

Duh, I didn't even notice he hasn't changed the actual link TEXT yet. LOL.

Try putting <br> right after the </a> of of the link where you want to have a break.
