How Do I Get Other Tabs?

On my forum I have the Home, Forums, Members, Rules, Help, & Contact Us tabs. I would like to at least have the "Contact Us" tab for the mobile skin so how do I add that in as all that shows presently is the Home and Forums tab?

Thanks, Gene

Hmm, do you have a link to where the contact form is on ipb? (apart from the one that shows up in profiles)

Do you mean the link when you click on the "Contact Us" tab? If so http://www.myforum.com/forums/index.php?/contact/

Why don't the other standard IPB tabs (members, calandar etc) show up?

A few reasons. You have very limited horizontal space on a mobile device. Plus most of those sections aren't really needed on a mobile device.

I can't get that link to work (/contact/) I assume this isn't part of ipb?

Anyway if you want to add a tab you'll need to edit the globalTemplate template.

Look for

<li class="{parse variable="forumActive"}"><a href="../../unavailable.html">Forums</a></li>

Then add your link after or before it

<li><a href="../../unavailable.html">Contact</a></li>

OK, that worked fine, only problem is that the "Contact Us" tab is not active when clicked on and it does go to an internal IPB page. How do I make it active?

Thanks

Do you have a link to your forum? Thats why I was asking about what the contact us link was :P. If its not part of ipb, i don't have control over if its set to active.

Add this

			{parse variable="contactActive" default="" oncondition="IPS_APP_COMPONENT == 'contact'" value="active"}
<li class="{parse variable="contactActive"}"><a href="../../unavailable.html"app=contact" seotitle="false" base="public"}">Contact Us</a></li>

That should do the trick.

If you tell me what modification that is, I might be able to clean it up for you (on mobile).

I have removed all the tabs and placed the "Contact Us" link at the bottom in line after the "View Desktop Version", works just fine that way.
