I found in the forum the following information - please explain to me if this correct in what i am trying to do

The following was found on the forums but is it really what i want to do?

edit your menubar template and on either side of the $menu or $menu2 variables add your new link via html tag.

How do i edit the below to add a new menu to the top of the page ?

default photopost - Home Search Register and Login

Change it to Home Mymenu Search Register and Login
<?php
echo <<<PPPRINT
<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: menubar.tmpl -->
$ppopen
<tr>
<td class="{$Style['menubar']}" width="100%" colspan="2">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td class="{$Style['menubarnb']}" width="50%" align="left" valign="middle">
&nbsp;$menu2
</td>
<td class="{$Style['menubarnb']}" width="50%" align="right"valign="middle">
$menu&nbsp;
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
$ppclose<br />
<!-- END TEMPLATE: menubar.tmpl -->
PPPRINT;

?>

<?php
echo <<<PPPRINT
<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: menubar.tmpl -->
$ppopen
<tr>
<td class="{$Style['menubar']}" width="100%" colspan="2">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td class="{$Style['menubarnb']}" width="50%" align="left" valign="middle">
&nbsp;$menu2&nbsp;· <span class="medium"><a href="http://www.snowmediazone.com/the_zone/rss.php?type=rss2">RSS Feed</a></span>&nbsp;
</td>
<td class="{$Style['menubarnb']}" width="50%" align="right"valign="middle">
$menu&nbsp;
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
$ppclose<br />
<!-- END TEMPLATE: menubar.tmpl -->
PPPRINT;

?>

Gives me an "RSS Feed" option at the end of menu2 (which is the left hand menu). Does that help?

[Frank Shaw]

where is the 4 reguler menus that come up on the right side - that what makes this all so confusing for me - the menus are the following :

Home Search Register and Login

How is the above handle in the first place - i do not see above in your responce the Home Search Regoster and logon menu options that are displayed before a person has logon to the system.

Why and how are they done ?

Lets take this one step at a time !

The right hand menu is menu, the left hand is menu2 in the template code shown above.

Hence adding

<span class="medium"><a href="http://www.snowmediazone.com/the_zone/rss.php?type=rss2">RSS Feed</a></span>&nbsp;

after menu2 puts an extra option on the menu line after the standard ones. Similar should work for menu on right hand side afaik.

[Frank Shaw]

Ok that was what i was missing - The right hand menu is menu, the left hand is menu2 in the template code shown above.

Home Search Register and Login

Is the right hand menu so - how in the templete menu is handled and how does it deal what the admin menu when the user login as admin - so it really is not just add a menu next to the other menu there needs to be some logic around this - but with out knpwing how it os done in the first place and what files are used to do it - i just aking the correct way to do it?

Hense why I had hinted to add an html link next to the $menu variable in your menubar template
