Adding a link to the top menu
ithcy
New
So this should be a functioning plugin:
It looks to me like I'm using the API correctly, and it works great with the default vanilla theme. It does not work with other (approved) themes like Vanilla MEGA or Joie, which seem to be using a smarty template with a {custom_menu} tag. I can't tell whether the core is broken or whether the themes just need updating. Either way something ain't right here. Those themes should not be approved if they don't follow the API rules.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
