[SOLVED] Nav links in transmogrified

[jana]

I know you can hide links from the navigation link bar with css, but how can you actually remove a link (in the theme layer)? I'd like to replace a link with a link to an external website, so my second question is how you can add a(n external) link to your nav links. Any help is much appreciated.

I've always used S2 code to do it:

function print_module_navlinks() {

  var Page p = get_page();
  var string[] navlinks_order = [];
  var string{} navlinks_urls = {};
  var string{} navlinks_text = {};

  $navlinks_order =
    [
        "recent",
        "archive",
        "read",
        "network",
        "tags",
        "memories",
        "custom1",
        "custom2",
        "userinfo",
    ];

 $navlinks_urls =
    {
        "recent" => "$p.base_url/",
        "archive" => "$p.base_url/calendar",
        "read" => "$p.base_url/read",
        "network" => "$p.base_url/network",
        "tags" => "$p.base_url/tag",
        "memories" => "$*SITEROOT/tools/memories?user=$p.journal.username",
        "custom1" => "http://URL",
        "custom2" => "http://URL",
        "userinfo" => "$p.base_url/profile",
    };

 $navlinks_text =
    {
        "recent" => "$*text_view_recent",
        "archive" => "$*text_view_archive",
        "read" => "$*text_view_friends",
        "network" => "$*text_view_network",
        "tags" => "$*text_view_tags",
        "archive" => "$*text_view_memories",
        "custom1" => "Custom Text",
        "custom2" => "Custom Text",
        "userinfo" => "$*text_view_userinfo",
    };

    open_module("navlinks", "", "");
    var string[] links = [];
    foreach var string k ($navlinks_order) {
        if ($navlinks_urls{$k} != "") {
            var string css = """ class="$k" """;
            if ($p.view == $k) { $css = """ class="current $k" """; }
            $links[size $links] = """<a href="$navlinks_urls{$k}"$css>$navlinks_text{$k}</a>""";
        }
    }
    print_module_list($links);
    close_module();
}

Note: this is template code for paid, personal accounts.

Thank you, it worked :)

Ooooh can I take this code and make an article for it in the S2 Cookbook?

[ninetydegrees]

Sure! If I'm not mistaken, non-paid and communities shouldn't add the network link and communities should use text_view_friends_comm for the read link text.

And of course, this code is also useful to re-order links and remove ones. You know who taught me that (and by that I mean arrays)? Kunzite. Good ole days...

[foxfirefey]

Tada! Your advice is the first entry in the modules section of the Cookbook.

Aw, Kunzite! He's doing pretty good nowadays last I heard from him, just doesn't do style stuff anymore.
