How to add a new tab?

[sitewonders +]

Hi all,

I am not familiar with Smarty, what would be the easiest way to add a new tab to the top of my site? I simply want a tab that goes to my wordpress blog.

Many Thanks

Gary

Smarty has nothing to do with adding a new tab. Smarty is primarily used to pass variables from the underlying scripts to the user or to perform logic on variables.

The tabs are all handled via html and css. Often times a smarty variable is used to represent part of a link but since you are linking to something outside of 68C you would just create the link for the tab with standard html.

I have tweaked my code (its a little diferent as we discussed before as the invocation code messed up the tabs if you remember).

I have

<ul id="nav">
<li><a href="http://www.uk.magicfreeads.com/"><span>{$smarty.const.LANG_TPL_HOME}</span></a></li>
<li><a href="http://uk.magicfreeads.com"><span>UK MAGIC CLASSIFIEDS</span></a></li>
<li><a href="http://us.magicfreeads.com"><span>US MAGIC CLASSIFIEDS</span></a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.uk.magicfreeads.com/usercheckout.php"><span>{$smarty.const.LANG_TPL_PL ACE_AD}</span></a></li>
<li><a href="contactus.html"><span>{$smarty.const.LANG_TP L_CONTACT}</span></a></li>
</ul>

But it displays very badly...

Magic Classifieds - Magic Freeads - Buy and Sell Magic

Any suggestions?

Many Thanks

Just call them UK Magic and US Magic instead.
is the easiest way.

David might know a way to make the tabs have the ability to stretch wider but its a good fix for now.

Cant you just add the same code as the main site?
ie

<ul id="nav">
<li><a href="http://www.uk.magicfreeads.com/"><span>{$smarty.const.LANG_TPL_HOME}</span></a></li>
<li><a href="http://uk.magicfreeads.com"><span>UK MAGIC CLASSIFIEDS</span></a></li>
<li><a href="http://us.magicfreeads.com"><span>US MAGIC CLASSIFIEDS</span></a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.uk.magicfreeads.com/usercheckout.php"><span>{$smarty.const.LANG_TPL_PL ACE_AD}</span></a></li>
<li><a href="contactus.html"><span>{$smarty.const.LANG_TP L_CONTACT}</span></a></li>
</ul>

Does the same css file get loaded for the blog and the main site?
