Adding a button before the TOC button in a WebHelp Pro navigation bar

Question

My client wnats to add a "Home " button to the left of the TOC button in the navigation bar. I can ad buttons to the right of the "standard buttons": TOC, Search, Print, and Glossary, but even if I go and edit the skn file and add the "Home" botton before the TOC one, it still displays to the right. Is there anything I am missing?
Thanks.
Using RoboHelp 9 and Robohelp Server.

Hi,
I don't have RH Server, so this is a bit of a guess but I think one method will work.
Modify the toolbar order in whstart.js.
1. In whstart.js, go to line 184 (RH10), it has the text else if (nMsgId == WH_MSG_TOOLBARORDER).
2. Below the opening bracket add the following code:
oMsg.oParam = "CUSTOM|toc|glo|idx|fts|blackblock|searchform|banner";
return false;
3. Open whskin_tbars.htm and go to the bottom of the file to find a few calls starting with addButton.
4. Copyt the id of the button (customxxxx) and replace the text CUSTOM in whstart.js.
Modify whskin_tbars.htm
1. Open whskin_tbars.htm
2. Go to the bottom of the file and find a few calls starting with addButton.
3. Set the lines in the order you want the buttons to appear. (Don't forget the 'blankblock' button to push certain content to the right of the toolbar.
4. Remove the call to the function ReSortToolbarButtons() from the file whskin_tbars.js.
If WebHelp does still resort the buttons, try adding return false; as the first code in the function ReSortToolbarButtons() in the file whtbar.js
Hope this helps,
