[SOLVED] No Shop Link On My Site...

[Dark_Zero]

Hello, i installed SMF Shop the other day only to see that there was no shop link (like where it says Home, Help, Admin, Profile, Search, and Logout). I am logged in as the Admin (Webmaster), and when i type in to the address bar: http://psp_blackout.phpnet.us/SMF/index.php?action=shop the shop works fine; there's just no link to it! I'm wondering if there's just no shop picture in the icons that came with the template i downloaded... how can i get the link there?

you need make a "link" in your forum, in the template with you use....

generally is in the index.template.php on the line 687 (see the buttons)

i have in my forum...

Code: [Select]

   //Shop
echo'
            <td align="center" class="menubg' , $current_action == 'shop' ? '2' : '' , '">
                  <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=shop">RulzStore</a>           
            </td>';
sorry my english XD

it only goes to line 486 (when i click "View" in cpanel) so what should i do? (note i have a premade shop button that i can upload via ftp if i need it) anyways here is the code that i have in index.template.php: (in a custom template that i downloaded through simplemachines.org)

Edited by Daniel15: Snipped long bit of code. File is attached in a below post

u have no idea how to edit do you...

ok so, take a copy of index.template.php and put it on your desktop.

edit it with ... notepad, or something like that.... find

Code: [Select]

  // Otherwise, they might want to [logout]...
before that add his code there... or if u figure out how to make buttons... put it where u want...

save it and upload it back to ur site... done...

okay i did exactly what you told me and there is still no link.. btw i used the online editor cuz notepad doesn't recognize some symbols.

[feildmaster]

umm... take a copy of the index.template into a zip and put it into an attachment and i will fix if i get the time.... *yawns*

[Dark_Zero]

there ya go.  thanks for helpin.

[Dark_Zero]

can someone  please help me? i really need this link...

In that file, find:

Code: [Select]

// The [calendar]!
if ($context['allow_calendar'])
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=calendar">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/calendar.gif" alt="' . $txt['calendar24'] . '" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt['calendar24']), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'];
Add after:

Code: [Select]

// SMFShop
echo '
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=shop">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/shop.gif" alt="Shop" style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : 'Shop'), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'];
You'll need a file called "shop.gif" to use as the shop button .
