☩ Walking in Light with Christ – Faith, Computing, Diary

I own a phpbb forum which uses the prosilver phpbb theme and I wanted to add a link to external website in the navigation header of the forum.
Here is how I did it:

On phpbb forum installation on Debian Linux the file which needs to be changed is called overall_header.html
The overall_header file name is found on 4 times on my install, as follows:

/usr/share/phpbb3/styles/prosilver/template/overall_header.html
/usr/share/phpbb3/www/adm/style/overall_header.html
/var/cache/phpbb3/cache/ctpl_admin_overall_header.html.php
/var/cache/phpbb3/cache/tpl_prosilver_overall_header.html.php

The files which I had to modify to add my external link to the forum navigation bar were:

/usr/share/phpbb3/styles/prosilver/template/overall_header.html
/var/cache/phpbb3/cache/tpl_prosilver_overall_header.html.php
Therefore to add the external link to the forum edit the two files overall_header.html and tpl_prosilver_overall_header.html.php

In each of the files look up for the code:

<ul class="linklist navlinks">

After the end of this code section which ends up with >/ul< add the following html code:

<ul class="linklist navlinks2"><li><a href="http://newurladdr.com"> newurladdr </a> •</li>
<a href="http://newurl.com"> newurl </a>

</ul>

Now save the files and go to your forum, the newly added links will show up. Enjoy
