Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

How do I make one custom link in the Pages Menu?

Hi guys!

I searched previous threads and found an answer to this question (with the same title) from Flynn. However, I am getting an error message.

Flynn said: Add this to the bottom of Atahualpa's functions.php

<?php function replace_menu_link($string) {
return str_replace('http://www.yoursite.com/link/to/dummypage/',
'http://www.othersite.com/link.html', $string);
}
add_filter('wp_list_pages', 'replace_menu_link');
?>

Now, to be clear on what I did, I literally did what he said and added this as an additional <? ?> section after the last ?> of the original function.php code. My specific code is:

<?php function replace_menu_link($string) {
return str_replace('http://bestbiztips.com/quickmedquote/web-conference/',
'http://wc.iboomerang.com/skin-iboomerang/join.jsp?p=7711106', $string);
}
add_filter('wp_list_pages', 'replace_menu_link');
?>

Doing this, I get the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/content/a/b/x/abxnetwork/html/quickmedquote/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/functions.php on line 1059

The website I am working on is for a client: http://www.bestbiztips.com/quickmedquote. I want the Web Conference page to go to an outside URL.

I am not conversant in PHP, so this is pretty Greek to me.

What am I missing?

Thanks so much!

What version of Atahualpa and WP?

check your code and make sure there are no invisible characters in it. When I copied the code from the other post, it shows several non-printable characteres which will cause errors when being parsed by php.

LOL! That would help!

The latest of both: WP 2.8.5 and Atahualpa 3.4.1

Thanks!

Hi Juggledad -

Okay, I upgraded and inserted the suggested code as I previously described.

Now I am getting this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/content/a/b/x/abxnetwork/html/quickmedquote/wp-content/themes/atahualpa344/functions.php on line 657

I have left the site with the error showing.

So I am still doing something wrong!

Thanks!

please send me a copy of your functions.php I can't reproduce this adding your code in. Must be something else.

If you can't figure out how to send a copy, you can create me an id (send it in a PM) so I can look at your backend (Dashboard->Apearances->Editor) to look at the code.

yup, non printable characters, a bunch of them!
delete the code and then type it in including all the spaces and try it again.

In case you are interested, I'm on a mac and there is a program called TextWrangler. One of it's features is you can 'view invisables' and it shows spaces, tabs, returns and any other non printable character.

Okay, I know what caused this.

I created an html file for my notes on how to do this. I copied from the Design view of Dreamweaver instead of the Code view. So the Design view added all of the garbage.

YAY! It worked! Thanks so much!

Now, I realize there is one tweak not included in the original code. How would I code this PHP to open the link in a new window?

Thanks!

you could try using
<?php function replace_menu_link($string) {
return str_replace('http://bestbiztips.com/quickmedquote/web-conference/',
'http://wc.iboomerang.com/skin-iboomerang/join.jsp?p=7711106 target="_blank"', $string);

Hi Juggledad -

Well, I thought about that and wasn't sure how to code it inside the PHP code.

So I tried your suggestions with double quotes, single quotes, and no quotes - and none worked.....

Any other thoughts?

Thanks!

hmmm, not off hand. that was a sot in the dark. I'd have to try this and take a look in the code to figure out what to do. Maybe when things calm down...and I get the yard raked...and the computer at church fixed and....

If you put that code at the bottom of functions.php after the last closing ?> then use the code as is.

?>
<?php function replace_menu_link($string) {
return str_replace('http://www.yoursite.com/link/to/dummypage/',
'http://www.othersite.com/link.html', $string);
}
add_filter('wp_list_pages', 'replace_menu_link');
?>


If you put that code before the last closing ?> then don't use the opening <?php and closing ?> PHP tags of that code snippet:

<?php function replace_menu_link($string) {
return str_replace('http://www.yoursite.com/link/to/dummypage/',
'http://www.othersite.com/link.html', $string);
}
add_filter('wp_list_pages', 'replace_menu_link');
?>
?>

Hi Guys!

I have a new issue with this old situation.

There is a new site I am working on:

http://www.bestbiztips.com/biggamestudio

The homepage is straight HTML because the client wants this type of opening page and then link into the blog site.

When you enter the blog site, I want the HOME link to go back to the straight HTML home page. However, when I use the functions.php coding suggested here in this thread, the redirect is not working.

Any suggestions?

Thanks bunches in advance!

Why don't you make a splash page and use it as the home page
There are directions in the gold forum tutorials

Hi Juggledad -

Well, the concept for a splash page is good but not working with this particular site. I have 2 issues:

1. I am using an image map menu with the main graphic, and the image map does not work.
2. I am using Cincopa photo slide show, and it won't center.

You can see this at http://www.bestbiztips.com/biggamestudio/site/

So back to my original question: When you enter the blog site, I want the HOME link to go back to the straight HTML home page. However, when I use the functions.php coding suggested here in this thread, the redirect is not working.

Thanks!

Hi All,

I wanted to reply to this thread:
http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=3513

But it was closed, so I found this one. I am also adding a link in the page menu, and added the code flynn suggested at the end of functions.php. I am, however, getting these errors:

No Dice! I checked again, added the code and saved, and went back to the site and edited for a little while but then got this:

THEN I took out the offending bit of code, made sure no spaces were there, and re-saved. Now when I attempt to log in I get this:

Also, a maybe helpful update:

Whenever I copy over the functions PHP from my backup unedited atahualpa theme files all the errors go away, so something is going on. I just don't know what, because I checked the encoding and everything. I am editing in TextWrangler on a mac, btw.
