[SOLVED] cb language edit / manage connections issue was created by onlinesince79

Hi guys,

I am using the CB Content module to display CB profile operations, for example view profile, update profile, send a message (via uddeim) etc.

I have edited default_language.php to add styling and a .gif next to send a message, to add emphasis to the link, when a logged in user is viewing another users profile and wants to send them a message.

This is the edit i carried out:

//DEFINE('_UE_PM_USER','Send a message');

DEFINE('_UE_PM_USER','<center><img src="images/compose.gif"/> Send a message</center>');

This works fine in when displayed in the cb content module (see attached image), however, when a user views their connections, the html code added in default_language.php is revealed and the result is messy (attached).

I need to be able to keep the image and styling for send a message, but keep manage connections the same.

Many thanks

You shouldn't add HTML directly to the menu links as it's not supported in most cases. You should style them with CSS. Example CSS as follows.

.module ul.cbMenuULlist li a {
    display: block;
    padding: 3px 0 5px 25px;
    text-decoration: none;
}

.module ul.cbMenuULlist li.cbMenu_UE_PM_USER a {
    background: url( "../../../images/compose.gif" ) repeat-y scroll 0 0 transparent;
    display: block;
}

The above still displays text, but with an icon to the left of it. It could of course be adjusted to display just an image for example by cutting it into a specific height/width and hiding any overflow.

Hi Krileon,

Could you please tell me exactly where to put this code, and also how to make sure the send a message link is in red (cc3333).

Many thanks

The above is just an example. You'll need to tweak it to meet your needs. It's designed to restyle the CB Menu when displayed in the CB Content module and you'll need to edit CB Menu from Plugin Management and set "Menu display type:" to li spans. The CSS should be placed at the bottom of your Joomla or CB template CSS file. CB templates can be found below.

Hi Krileon,

Many thanks for this info, I have settled on simply reenabling menu icons via CB Menu settings in Plugin Management and setting "Menu display type:" to li span.

One problem i have now is that the icons next to the links disappear if a user clicks any component/module links, e.g. compose in UddeIM.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

It's because their styling is in CBs template and when you navigate away from CBs pages then its template is no longer rendered. You'll need to review CBs template CSS files then copy the menu icon CSS to your Joomla template. I think also having your login module on the same pages as CB Content may also do the trick if plugins integrations is set to yes in the modules parameters.
