As I study the code in the template/xhtml_slimt.pt document, I'm stumped as to how the syntax relates to how the files are named for the end user.

The file [[Main_Page]] for the end user, in the wiki, points to the home page of the wiki.

But in the xhtml_slimt.pt file, that page is defined as follows:

   <li id="n-mainpage"><a href="${nav_urls/mainpage/href}"

i18n:translate="string:mainpage">Main Page</a></li>

What I want to do is add more links in the navigation box to the main departments at peswiki.com

This takes data from an array set in SkinPHPTal.php. Search for "nav_urls".

I studied the slimt_pt file where the left border is defined; and I studied the SkinPJPTal_php file, where the "$nav_urls" are defined.

I can see how slimt_pt calls for information in the SkinPJPTal_php file.

It seems there is a third document (a table?) I need to know about that equates the nav_url names in SkinPJPTal_php with the names as they appear in the browser by the end user.

For example, the following code in the SkinPJPTal_php file: $nav_urls['help'] = array('href' => htmlspecialchars( $this->makeI18nUrl('helppage')));

corresponds to http://peswiki.com/index.php/Help:Contents

Where is that defined?

Another question. In the slimt_pt file there is a i18n:translate="string:xyz" code for each of the links. I presume that each language file will need to define a translation for each string I assign for a given new link in the navigation, but that not doing so will not effect the function of the slimt_pt file.

Thanks,

Sterling

(pertinent excerpts attached in txt)

Brion,

Okay, I've found SkinPHPTal.php and have found a set of lines that begin "nav_urls" that correspond with the names of the files.

How to I generate a new nav_url line to correspond to a file I want?

Where are files I create, such as [[OS]] kept in the file structure? How do I call for them in the SkinPHPTal.php code?

Thanks

Sterling
