Default add a navigation button

What folder are the navigation buttons in and how do I add a new button that takes you back to my main website next to the home button?

Once again you have to give more specific info if your looking for help. For starters what template are you using? And specifically what buttons are you referring to?

I think he means the buttons at the top on the default template for example.

Go into the layout.tpl file. Locate the code

{* Tab navigation with the search bar *}
<ul>
<li><a href="{$smarty.const.URL}/index.php">{$smarty.const.LANG_TPL_HOME}</a></li>
<li><a href="{$smarty.const.URL}/search.php">{$smarty.const.LANG_TPL_SEARCH}</a></li>
<li><a href="{$smarty.const.URL}/category.php">{$smarty.const.LANG_TPL_BROWSE}</a></li>
<li><a href="{$smarty.const.URL}/toplistings.php?pg=featured">{$smarty.const.LANG_T PL_FEATURED}</a></li>
<li><a href="{$smarty.const.URLS}/usercheckout.php">{$smarty.const.LANG_TPL_PLACE_AD }</a></li>
<li><a href="{$smarty.const.URL}/contactus.php">{$smarty.const.LANG_TPL_CONTACT}</a></li>
</ul>


You can then add or delete buttons by adding or deleting to the code.

Personally I consider those "tabs" and why I ask for more details. Many people in various areas of study get frustrated when their questions go unanswered but what they fail to realize is that their questions are so poorly worded or they lack sufficient detail for anyone to really offer any help.

Since a good portion of support here on he forum comes from users, failing to supply details means that you are now asking people to spend their time asking questions. In the end the time wasted to get the details which should have been initially furnished often adds up to a lot more time than answering the question itself.

So a word of advice for anyone looking for help. Put your exact version in your forum profile as well as if its designer or developer and if possible a link to your site. Help us to help you.

Put the link you want into the code hat I gave you where you want. e.g. you have in your layout.tpl file sitting in your template folder/default

<li><a href="http://getwetclassifieds.com/index.php">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="http://getwetclassifieds.com/search.php">Search</a></li>
<li><a href="http://getwetclassifieds.com/category.php">Browse</a></li>
<li><a href="http://getwetclassifieds.com/toplistings.php?pg=featured">Featured</a></li>
<li><a href="http://getwetclassifieds.com/usercheckout.php">Place An Ad</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.getwetgazette.com/">Get Wet</a></li>
<li><a href="http://getwetclassifieds.com/contactus.php">Contact</a></li>
</ul>

I presume this is what you mean? If it is not then you need to explain carefully exactly what you are looking for.

Default Thanks

David, Thanks a lot. Did exactly what I needed. My site is looking better today because of you and 68 classifieds. I still have a long way to go. I want to take my whole site over to 68 classifieds so I have zip code search on all my destinations, activities and information. I understand someone is working on a google maps plug in too. That will be great. Do you ever do any page templates? I want to add my destinations the same way you place classifieds but I don't want the classifieds look.
Thanks again....Eric
