    • Adding a Button

    Posted by arun_akb posts: 62

    Hi All,

    I have installed TikiWiki. Now, I want to know whether we can add a button to the top "Menu" item available on the Home page of the site. Clicking the button should display the Home page of the site.

    Any suggestions???

    Regards,

    Do you mean a button widget? Or do you mean another menu item that looks like all of the other menu items, but is the first and is a link to Home?

    If the latter, then yes. Just edit the menu (Admin -> Menus) and add a menu item.

    If the former, then you need to create a new module that has this functionality. And put it as the top module in the column. This would work for vertical menus but not horizontal menus. If you wanted to do it with horiz menus, you would have to modify the tpl to add the button wherever you wanted.

    Hi Gary,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I want a button named "Home", which is similar to the "login" button available in the "Login" box. I want the "Home" button to be placed in the top left corner of the site. Clicking the button should display my site's Home page.

    I have installed TikiWiki version 1.9.4. Does this version provides functionality to add a button to a new module?

    Waiting for your reply.

    There are several ways to do this (first though, I would upgrade to the current Tiki version.

    In addition to Gary's suggestion of simply adding a new menu item, you can:
