1: Navbar ambitions
Posted by Richard Hamilton on 03/19/04 03:35 AM
I have been studying the dizzying complexity of the .LRN templates and in particular the construction of the navbar.

I have got as far as studying the procs in /dotlrn/tcl/navigation_procs.tcl
and I can see that the answer probably lies somewhere in dotlrn-master.tcl but it is not entirely clear in my mind to say the least.

If I wanted to add a fifth link to the navbar, where and how whould I do it without breaking things?

Look and see how the control panel is added ... it's somewhere  in there (this is actually the My Account page for users).  Also go to a class, click on "control panel", find the file you land in (not control panel - something like one community admin!) and see where it's added to the navbar.  Grep should find this for you.

BTW those procs really suck... :)  I hope to replace them with proper templates at some point (the rewritten portals package does in its OpenACS integration code so it should be possible eventually).
