random hack

1 Feb 06, 2009 07:57    

hi, i have a request for a random hack. i want to place a link somewhere that can only be viewed by writers of my blog. the link would be to a forum for the writers that i wouldn't want readers to have access to. i was thinking that the best place to put it would be under the 'write' tab in the back office next to the text 'new post in blog: blog name'. even if it's not possible to put a hyperlink there, it was still be great to put the address. any ideas?

Hi bobzarzal,

I can't fimd the location you are referring to. What version of b1evolution are you using? Can you provide a (small) screenshot?
The link itself should be easy.

Good luck

I thought so ;)
I don't maintain a 1.10 setup, so I won't help you with this one.
Easiest is to add a link with jQuery. You remember the name of the div where the text is and do

<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  // Load jQuery
  google.load("jquery", "1");
  
  jQuery('<a href="http://forums.b2evolution.net">Forums</a>').insertAfter(".yourDiv"); 
</script>


and add it to /skins_adm/_html_header.inc.php between <head> and </head>. I didn't test the code and I'm pretty sure you want to tweak it.

Good luck

*EDIT* correct jQ syntax

i don't have a file '_html_header.inc.php' the only php file in the skins adm folder is _adminUI_general.class.php'

inside this file i found:

/**
* Display doctype + <head>...</head> section
*/
function disp_html_head()
{
global $view_path;

require $view_path.'_menutop.php';

should i paste it in there?

See if you can find a file called _menutop.php and see if that has the headers.

*EDIT*
/inc/VIEW/_menutop.php

The correct syntax is

jQuery('<a href="http://forums.b2evolution.net">Forums</a>').insertAfter(".yourDiv");

Pls reread, I edited the code.
You can PM me URL plus login/password and I'll have a closer look. Really I'm not going to set up an 1.10 install just for your question.

sorry, i'm still new to this all... you said before "You remember the name of the div where the text is" what is the "div"?

View the page source of the page. You will find the text "New post in blog" plus the three buttons. These are wrapped in a div. Foe example:

<div id="buttons"><p>New post in blog ...


In a line that's bound to be very different from this example you are looking for an id. Remember that.

In the code replace '.yourDiv' by '#buttons" or whatever name the id has. The . would denote a class, the # an id.

I found a 1.10 blog. Thanks ¥åßßå.
In the code replace '.yourDiv' with '#TitleArea h1'
If it has loaded the jQuery library properly I think this will work.

The line is now:

jQuery('<a href="http://forums.b2evolution.net">Forums</a>').insertAfter("#TitleArea h1");


If it *does* appear but it appears on all pages, try:

if( document.location.indexOf( "ctrl=edit" ) != -1 ) jQuery('<a href="http://forums.b2evolution.net">Forums</a>').insertAfter("#TitleArea h1");

Good luck

very very close to getting this. i really appreciate all the help! so the link is showing up (on every page, which is fine) but it's not showing up exactly where i wanted it to go... and it's displaying some of the code... which leads me to believe the jquery is not working? here are some screen grabs:

http://shitledger.com/screengrab2.jpg

http://shitledger.com/screengrab3.jpg

the second is just a grab of the page source... looks like the div is right...
same results when i put in the second version of the code you wrote... and when i put in the <script> tag from your first post, it goes away all together...

I recently upgraded from 1.10.2 to 2.4.6 and lost the link at the tops of every page in the back office. i have tried adding this code

jQuery('<a href="http://forums.b2evolution.net">Forums</a>').insertAfter("#TitleArea h1");

to _html_header.inc.php but it still doesn't show up... any ideas?

I've got some new hack for you. Open /skins/_toolbar.inc.php and add the new line on 201:

					echo '</li>';
				}
			}
  	?>
	<li><a href="http://forums.b2evolution.net" target="_blank">Forum</a></li> <!-- Add this line -->
</ul>

</div>

</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
	function evo_menu_show( elt )


In this snippet I show you some of the surroundings.

The toolbar now has a link to your forum like this:

Have fun
