Adding a new link to header

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi Rafael,

We want to add a new link to the header in the top of JForum. I have figured out how to activate the right method (by putting an entry into urlPattern.properties and modulesMapping.properties), however I get a templateNotFoundException. I have put an entry in templatesMapping.properties also for the navigation to go to forum_list.htm when the user clicks on this link..but it still gives this exception. Is there something else that needs to be set? Also, how can I perform an action upon a link in the header being clicked and stay in the same page? Thanks!

How did you do the code?

About the " how can I perform an action upon a link in the header being clicked and stay in the same page", I quite didn't understand the question - what you mean by "click on a link and stay in the same page"?

Rafael,

Thanks for the quick reply. I added a method to UserAction.java(called setLastVisitTime). I added an entry in urlPattern.properties -> user.setLastVisitTime.0 = In header.htm, I added a link with the encode url statement as /user/setLastVisitTime. In templatesMapping.properties, I added an entry -> user.setLastVisitTime = forum_list.htm
So, when this link is clicked on in header.htm, the method does trigger in UserAction.java, however after that it throws a templateNotFoundException, I want it to go to forum_list.htm

Please let me know if you have any other questions, thanks.
