Insert same navigation on every page

Vishera

I have a custom navigation bar on the top of nearly every page. When I decide to change/add a link, I have to update every page and it gets tedious. Is there a better way to do this? I was thinking of inserting some sort of PHP or something on every page and link it to one location so it updates on every page.. is this possible?

 

The navigation HTML would look like:

<center><div class="ribbonTimeline"><span class="text-center interlink"><a href="/wikis/story">Story</a> | "Factions":/wikis/factions | "Rules":/wikis/rules | "Variant Rules":/wikis/variant-rules | "History":/wikis/history<br>"Regions":/wikis/regions | "Deities":/wikis/deities | "Character Creation":/wikis/character-creation | "Maps":/wikis/maps</span></div></center>

    Unfortunately, we as users aren't able to do anything reliant on server side (like PHP). I myself had a custom per-page menu bar, and I ended up giving it up after a while for exactly the same reason.

    The best thing I can say if are you planning on doing a per-page menu system, is plan very carefully in advance so it doesn't require changes. Unless/until OP gives add/edit capability on navigation tabs/pages, this is an issue that will always be a pain in the ass. I've been begging for customizable tabs for years now.

    All the best,

    I add the custom nav bar buttons on every page, every time, except on character or item pages. It's just a quick copy/paste job.
