How to Add new links to PHPBB forum navigation
bar on prosilver theme
I own a phpbb forum which uses the prosilver phpbb theme and I
wanted to add a link to external website in the navigation header
of the forum.
Here is how I did it:
On phpbb forum installation on Debian Linux the file which needs to
be changed is called
overall_header.html
The overall_header file name is found on 4 times on my install, as
follows:
/usr/share/phpbb3/styles/prosilver/template/overall_header.html
/usr/share/phpbb3/www/adm/style/overall_header.html
/var/cache/phpbb3/cache/ctpl_admin_overall_header.html.php
/var/cache/phpbb3/cache/tpl_prosilver_overall_header.html.php
The files which I had to modify to add my external link to the
forum navigation bar were:
/usr/share/phpbb3/styles/prosilver/template/overall_header.html
/var/cache/phpbb3/cache/tpl_prosilver_overall_header.html.php
Therefore to add the external link to the forum edit the two files
overall_header.html and
tpl_prosilver_overall_header.html.php
In each of the files look up for the code:
<ul class="linklist navlinks">
After the end of this code section which ends up with
>/ul< add the following html code:
<ul class="linklist navlinks2"> <li><a
href="http://newurladdr.com"> newurladdr </a>
•</li>
<a href="http://newurl.com"> newurl </a>
</ul>
Now save the files and go to your forum, the newly added links will
show up. Enjoy
