Impossible to use icon in menu

Hello,
I followed the wiki about how to create the menu but I cannot create an item with an icon to link to a page.
Here is what happen:

- Capture.PNG (83.22 KiB) Viewed 8775 times
How should I fix that?
Plus, how to link to that page in current tab and not in a blank one?
I could do that by hard coding but then, everything will be messed up when an update comes out.
Thanks.

salut Clement
mticon-contact is not a valid icon name. Use one out of the list!
In the menu setup page:
fill in the fields like this:

- Clipboard-2.jpg (83.04 KiB) Viewed 8764 times
click "add", and you can see the new icon for "contact" as an envelope in this example:

- Clipboard-3.jpg (48.77 KiB) Viewed 8764 times
good luck!

Big thanks Martin.
Any idea how to keep the link in the current tab?

Well, currently when I click the envelope,
https://www.meteomelin.be/template/indexDesktop.php the page is opened in a new tab.
Is is possible to open this link in the current tab?
If yes, how?
Again, this is to limit hard coding...

In MENU - MAIN TABS
click on the gear wheel in the "Contact" line, then add:
>>>
>>Contact
#plugin(contact)
This is how it works for me (meteo.dubler.com), menu tab Info !
cheers, Martin

Hi Clement,
look at this:
Code: Select all
<a href="https://www.meteomelin.be/template/plugins/contact/" target="_blank" class="digimeg-nav-item" style="padding-top:0.1em!important;padding-bottom:0.1em!important;padding-left:0.5em!important;padding-right:0.5em!important;font-size:2em">....
You should remove target="_blank" - then it does not open in a new tab or new window. Hope this helps.

Hello,
Yes I know this is due to the blank target.
How is it possible to fix that in meteotemplate configuration?
I ask that before hard coding this feature in the meteotemplate code which will make the update very difficult.
I have already modified some code in blocks so this makes scripts to update when an update comes out...
