Editing Main Navigation Bar

Permalink
Ok....So I want to add a button on my navigation(right under the header) that leads me to another site that isn't on the same site...
(also...Where can I edit the .html docs?)
How can I Do this?

BTW

I want to add news feed on my site from every page added on the home page, I've got the blog-feed mod but it won't show thumbnails, how can I add the thumbnails too?

Hello, for the outside link, all you need to do is go to the Dashboard Sitemap, and click on your Home page, and then click on "Add External Link".

For thumbnails on the blog feed mod, I am not familiar with it, so I dunno. If you don't have an option in there for it, you will probably have to edit the block itself.

However, there is a free pagelist template in the marketplace that has thumbnails already.
For Demo:

For Block:

Hope I could help!

Also, I assume what you meant when you asked about .html docs, is the actual template HTML?

If so, to edit your theme, you would go into your themes directory which is off the root of your website, and edit the .php files. It looks like this:

themes/
     your_theme_name/
          description.txt
          thumbnail.png
          default.php
          left_sidebar(or right_sidebar).php
          view.php
          full.php
          etc.php
          main.css
          typography.css
          images/
               themeimages.jpg
          elements/
               header.php
Viewing 15 lines of 16 lines. View entire code block.

This is only an example file layout, and it largely depends on your theme developer, but in general, you'd edit the .php files. There aren't any .html files in a theme (normally).

I hope I explained it well enough, lol.
NOTE: If you are editing a core theme, rather than a third party theme, it will be inside the concrete directory, ie
concrete/
     themes/
          core/
          dark_chocolate/
          default/
          greensalad/


I would recommend moving any core themes you are editing out of the concrete/themes/ directory, and into your themes/ directory (there are two themes directories, core themes, and user themes which is in the root of your site)

Hope I helped. :-)
