Extra navbar links for the Smallbiz01 template

Robert Lender has published a short tutorial on adding an extra navbar link in the smallbiz01 template for users of Serendipity 1.1

For my English visitors, the gist of the tutorial is fairly simple to follow and involves editing the config.inc.php and index.tpl files from the template folder.

In config.inc.php add the following code, making sure to start adding additional links from number 6 since 5 is already used for one of the footer links.

array(
'var' => 'navlink6text',
'title' => 'Navlink #6 Text',
'description' => 'Enter the sixth navigation text',
'type' => 'string',
'default' => 'Downloads',
),
array(
'var' => 'navlink6url',
'title' => 'Navlink #6 URL',
'description' => 'Enter the sixth navigation URL eg \'http://www.somesite.url\'',
'type' => 'string',
'default' => '#',
),

Then, open index.tpl and add the following line after the existing list items within the second part of the navbar (these are the bits that have the smarty code which includes a reference to the $template_option's

<li><a href="{$template_option.navlink6url}" title="{$template_option.navlink6text}">
{$template_option.navlink6text}</a></li>

Robert's tutorial mentions that adding as many extra links as you need is possible by simply repeating the process described above, and incrementing the numbers in the variables navlink6text and navlink6url. Easily done and this will extend your template navbar to include as many links as you require.

Thanks to Robert for sharing his experiences.
