Im trying to do the following:

 

1) Add my phone number and "email me" on the header as part of the navigation and have them both in a different color so it would stand up.

 

 

2) Have the phone number as a title, in other words, so it would not open up a page, or be linkable.

 

3) Be able to click on the "email me"  and open up the email program for the user.

 

 

I added my "phone number" and "e-mail me" as pages as I could not find any other way to add as just titles.

 

An example of the above can be found on this site >

Hi,

 

For something like this, you will need to use a hook, I recommend you either use the Action Map plugin to find the correct hook location or use the Hooker plugin.

Danny,

So I installed the action map which I activated. However, cannot find it on the header.  I also looked for information about "hook" as I have no clue what the "hook" and the "action map" does but unable to find it on the support area. Can you tell me in layman terms exactly what "hooks" do and how to make it work? or perhaps the link for video or documentation about this. Thanks.

Ok. So I found the "actionmap" on the header which I turned on. Now, I have no clue what to do or how this works.

The ActionMap plugin provides you with all hooks available on your page, which you can use in your hook.

 

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide you the custom code needed to achieve your layout. If you're not comfortable with custom CSS or code. I recommend you contact one of our Pros for assistance.

Im not asking you to provide me with a custom code..... I'm asking for information about hooks. It is obvious from other members that information about this is very limited. Pagelines needs to understand that many of the members are not developers or hardcore website builders. The impression that I had before I purchased pageline products (platform pro and pagelines frameworks) was that this was very user friendly. Now, it is beyond me that I would need custom CSS or code to simply add my email info or phone number on the navigation bar. Very frustrating!!!

[Danny]

I understand that some of our users are not web developers and information regarding hooks will be added to our documentation soon. Also, PageLines Framework is very user friendly however, what you wish to achieve with the navigation bar, isn't something that is standard for a navigation bar. Therefore, it will require a custom code.

 

The Navigation bar is a Navigation bar and the main purpose of any navigation bar is to house menu links, if you wish to add your email address and other contact details, you will need to use hook. You can add these details as menu items and remove the link but that is not what you want.

 

So if you wish to add plain text and an email link, you will require a hook. There is no other way around it.

 

For more information about hooks, please review the Wordpress

Use the above information in conjunction with the Action Map plugin. You can also use the store product Hooker.

You can make the email address open up the users email program by creating a custom link for the menu and in the url field put mailto:joe@email.com (put the actual email address) and in the label put the email address or whatever you want (Email Me, i.e.).  For the phone number create a custom link and in the url field put # and then put the phone number in the label.

 

It's not perfect but makes it so you don't have to mess with hooks.
