MyBB Community Forums

Hey MyBB community.

I recently started a new forum. I did not know about the release of MyBB 1.8 but I decided I would keep up with the times and use it.

Everything is working fine so far, all the plugins work etc..

I have 1 problem right now though. Recently I added a ticket system plugin: http://community.mybb.com/mods.php?action=view&pid=213 The ticket system shows at the top of the default theme but not on any of the other themes as you will see in the screen shots below:

Default theme:


Other themes:






I am guessing I will have to manually add it to each theme but I have no idea how to or what file I need to edit.

Is there anybody willing to give me some instructions how to do this? or at least tell me what file I will need to edit and I can try and work it from there.

I look forward to some responses.

Hi MJay,

if the templates modifications cannot be done automatically by the plugin, please add the following code to your header template:

<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/tickets.php" style="background-position: 0 20px;"><img src="images/toplinks/tickets.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_tickets}</a></li>

Add this between the <ul class="menu top_links"> part of the header template. For expample like this:

<ul class="menu top_links">
	<li>
		<a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/tickets.php" style="background-position: 0 20px;"><img src="images/toplinks/tickets.gif" alt="" title="" />{$lang->toplinks_tickets}</a>
	</li>
	{$menu_portal} 
    {$menu_search} 
    {$menu_memberlist} 
    {$menu_calendar}
	<li>
		<a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/misc.php?action=help" class="help">{$lang->toplinks_help}</a>
	</li>
</ul>

Thank you for the reply. I only just read this message, I should have come back earlier after I figured it out.

I now have 2 fully working themes, all plugin's work. Even the 1.6 plugins fully work now I have changed the compatibility. Full steam ahead!
