PHPBB links with variable in the menu

Hi,

I have seen this kind of fixed in version 3, but I cannot figure it out for version 5.
In my overall_header.tpl, I currently have this code below.

Code:

<a href="{U_MYWEBLOG}" class="mainmenu"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/icon_mini_members.gif" width="12" height="13" border="0" alt="{L_MYWEBLOG}" hspace="3" />{L_MYWEBLOG}</a>

How do I get DHTML version 5 to use the variable {U_MYWEBLOG} so I can use that and not the full url to the page? As that variable changes depending on which user is logged on..

Cheers

Hi,

The templates for phpBB have to be parsed in order to change the values contained inside them.

My guess is that you will have to parse the menu_data.js file through the phpBB template parser in order to update its values.

Unfortunately, that is the only advice I can give as I'm not too familiar with the internals of phpBB
