vBH-Add new tabs

[Elmer]

vBH-Add new tabs 1.2 with no querys
Mark as installed, if you use it :)


If you like this modification please suport it in the mod of the moth poll (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=234672) :)


What does this plugin?
This plugin allows you to add new tabs in the navigation bar to link to any site you want.

Installation:
Import the xml file from the product manager..
Upload the files in the upload folder to your forums via ftp.

To add new tabs, go to:
vBulletin Options> VBH New Tabs Option


Configuration example:
AdminCP|/admincp/=>self;6
google|http://www.google.com=>self;1 2
vbulletin|http://www.vbulletin.com=>self;1 2
yahoo|http://www.yahoo.com=>self;1 2
vbulletin.org|http://www.vbulletin.org=>self;1 2
See screenshots.

To make tab selected:
This option only works if your tab links to internal files. You need to enter the THIS_SCRIPT value under the option Tabs Selected.

Also note that some areas of vBulletin already use the THIS_SCRIPT value in their code and because of this some tabs may not work correctly. A example of this would be the usercp.php file. If you make a tab linking to this file and then you enter the value 'usercp' to make it selected, the tab will be selected but also will be the forum tab. This is because vBulletin used this value in the navbar template.

You won't have problems when linking to custome pages.

This has potential.
Tagging for future reference

[nureeves]

Wow, I'm gonna love this :)
Thanks

[mokujin]

good idea. thanks

[Elmer]

I have updated the file, please download it again. I was cahing the wrong template so if you installed it before this post you may be getting a new query in your forums :(

[JVCode]

Tagged, nice mod!

[SİMAR]

Thanks

[maximutt]

Love it! Great job!

[syrus.xl]

Good idea... easier than editing the darn templates! lol

Is it possible to have Tabs with Navbar links and dropdown menu as well?

[mitch84]

good job, thx!

[messengermatt]

Great mod but i am wanting to make the tabs so they open in a new window, is this possible at all?

[Elmer]

Great mod but i am wanting to make the tabs so they open in a new window, is this possible at all?
You can do that by editing the template "vbh_newtabs" and add the url target. I can add a new option to choose whether the link opens in a new window or current, but that would make all links open in a new window if selected.

[messengermatt]

Can you PM me how to do that and where please? as im a bit stuck

[Elmer]

Edit template vbh_newtabs and replace all the code inside with this:

<li><a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw url}" target="_blank">{vb:raw titulo}</a>

I will update the plugin soon to add that option anyway.

[halkum]

Marked as installed and vote for motm

[elwachiman]

very good thanks elmer this option and the excellent facilities

[wtsnake]

I'm very new to vB and I cant find where to add the option. I dont have a tabs option.

edit* nevermind I got it. Thanks!

[Itworx4me]

This would be the perfect mod if you could add the dropdown list. Make it seperate from each tab.

Thanks,
Itworx4me

[rinunez]

Excelent Elmer, Excelent!

[nomoreturn]

Very easy To make new tab Installed Thanks

[crazyace]

This mod is really great but how ever, with my tabs I control which ones show up depending on what user group the user has. Can this mod do that as well? At the moment I'm adding them by hand which isn't really hard.

[mondiuk]

best and easy mode for vb4.

thank's

[abdobasha2004]

thanks

[wtsnake]

Is there a way to move them in front of the "forums" tab?

also, if its possible to have sub-tabs under them, please let me know. that would be very helpful

You can not, but I think it's a good idea and I will be working on it for next update.

That's not possible, just by editing the plugin and changing the hook for the center or left. I will add an option in the next update, so it can be activated from the options.
For now, submenus can't not be added, I don't know how they work so far but I will give a try and we'll see.

[rinunez]

I support the dropdown menu tabs, It will be great for my downloads.
The source code Its very interesting.

Excellent Mod....Thanks for the great work!

Any way to make it so that a tab is only visible to non-logged in users? I am going to be using my forum integrated with another program where the login takes place. I am going to turn off registrations and remove the code for the login from vbulletin. I would like to have two tabs for login and register which will be used to direct to the other programs register and login pages. Once a user is logged in I would not want them to see the tabs:erm:

You would need to add in an if statment. Something like this

if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 5, 6, 7))
{ some code in here
}

Very simple and strong.

Done.. you just need to select where to arrange the tabs, based on the navtab_start, navtab_middle and navtab_end hooks.

I'm holding off on installing new version as I'd like to know if you can update it to have a "show to all user groups" option as, well, my forum has a lot of user groups.

You can, if you don't insert any usergroup id to the line, that tab will be visible to all your users.

I am getting this error after the upgrade...

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/class_bootstrap.php(386) : eval()'d code on line 40

Try uninstalling the old one, and then install the new one. I didn't test it upgrading. :(

Simple and works fine! Thanks again.

Great idea for sure. Installed.

Any chances to add some dropdowns on new tabs ? I know this may "sound" strange but as I use to have tons of links in triple navbar bar on 3.8.4 and with new design of 4.0 I've got 100% orphan of it as if I add new navbars like I used to, design would be kind of odd.

Has anyone created tab(s) with menus and submenus like the Forum tab works rather than a drop down box off of a tab or just one tab with no menus?

That's what we really want. I'd like to convert all my drop down tabs you see here (http://biblocality.com/forums/forum.php) into menus.

Nobody it seems has been able to figure this out yet.

How to make the tab highlight on a new page?

I'm wondering the same. Currently the home tab will stay highlighted even though your on a different page.

[Elmer]

This addon doesn't integrate with custom pages, or existing ones. The purpose of this addon was to add tabs that links to external sites, and doing it in an easy way. However, I do agree that a feature like that should be added. I will be working into this, but I can't promise anything at this moment.

That would be great.

It would be nice too if you could the ability for drop downs on some tabs.

[Hoagie]

I would be happy with the sub menus but I would be extatic with the navtab to be highlighted when on that page....like for instance my screenshot ;)

Is it possible in future version to have a Tab (i.e Arcade) highlighted when open and with its own sub-menu links? that is exactly what I need.

[milsirhc]

Thanks for the mod!

I agree! If the tab get highlighted when selected, that will be awesome!

[Eric Anderson]

You can do this manually if you want to do a little manual editing.

Elmer adding the left(_start) right (_end)center(_middle) would be great also if you could possible add the ability for loading order for exact tab location.

d/l will install on RC1 on release and setup. Thanks for making life so simple!

[thunderclap82]

I want to be able to access other CMS pages I create but the plugin cuts my links off after the 'content.php?r'. It won't take anything after the 'r='.

[Charlie98902]

No rush but when enabled this is causing database errors in vb4 rc 2.

[Delilahs]

The only problem I have with this now since upgrading to RC2 is that the tabs are not highlighted at all untill you move your mouse over the blocks.

Is this a fault in the tabs, or the template itself?

[Datenpapst]

Best mod!

[Matt Slick]

Can you add a feature to allow 2 (or more) rows or tabs? That'd be great if possible.

Thanks very much for this.

I had a request from one of my members to have tabs which, when clicked, will take him to a listing of his posts with another tab taking him to his threads. Obviously he could achieve the same by going through the 'my profile' link in the header but it would be nice to get to the posts and threads with just one click. The problem is that I don't know which url to point the buttons at to achieve this. I'd appreciate any help.

Hi.

I have installed this mod. Thanks for the contribution it's great.

New posts are tagged by default in Vb 4 but should end with
search.php?do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post

For today's posts (Also in Navbar) should end with

search.php?do=getdaily
All the above after the correct path to your forum

[bbcentral]

Very nice! I may have to use this, I don't have the CMS installed so I only have 2 tabs, "Forum" and "What's New".
I'll be installing ibProArcade, so I can use this mod to add a tab for "Arcade". I might also have to add one for "Social Groups" and "Albums".

Nicely done! :D

What about this link?
search.php?do=finduser&userid={USERID}&contenttype=vBForum_Post&showposts=1
(Replace {USERID} with whatever the phrase is to display their user ID)
That will show all his posts.

I'm not exactly sure how you can show the threads, I get different results when I change "showposts=1" to "showthreads=1", but I'm not sure what the difference is exactly.

[ageurtse]

are you planning on adding dropdown button's

that would be great for us

[balkanboy]

[gyaronn]

So simple and to the point wow :-). Thanks allot man i was looking for this for ages :-)

[janaf]

Great mod! *****

One typo in the code in the settings text:

This one will open in a new window, visible only to administrators.
vBulletin.org|http://www.vbulletin.org=>blank
If you don't specify a usergroup, that means that will be visible to all users.

A live list of usergroup (IDs) on the settings page would be nice.

[radmoose]

Nice..

The only problem I have had (using the vB4 default template in RC4) is when the screen size is small, the added tabs wrap down to a second line, and therefore mess us the layout.

It seems to be due to the design of the template itself, however, is there a way to fix this within this plug in or do I need to modify the template to keep the fixed with? (and if I do, it kind of defeats the purpose)

[Mosh]

Thanks very much for this.

You could just use my View Your Threads Or Posts From The Navbar hack, as it does exactly what your members want.

[Mosh]

What about this link?
search.php?do=finduser&userid={USERID}&contenttype=vBForum_Post&showposts=1
(Replace {USERID} with whatever the phrase is to display their user ID)
That will show all his posts.

I'm not exactly sure how you can show the threads, I get different results when I change "showposts=1" to "showthreads=1", but I'm not sure what the difference is exactly.
"showposts=1" shows the search results as posts, so if you have say 4 posts in 1 thread, then you will 4 posts in the search results.

"showthreads=1" shows the search results as threads, so if you have say 4 posts in 1 thread, then you will only have the one thread in the search results.

I made a custom tab that links to a custom template via: http://xxxxx.com/forum/misc.php?do=page&template=xxxxx

Is it possible for the tab to be "selected", because currently if I click on it, it leads me to the page alright but the "Forum" tab remains the default selected tab.

Not with this hack unfortunately, as all it does at the moment is take you to external sites only, which is why you had to put the full url and which is why it does not highlight the tab.

If you look at my signature, I have a product that does the lot.

Works great. Will probably be dysfunctional in vB5 when they offer customers to add their own tabs.

Amazing that this isn't part of vB out-of-the-box. They are selling a CMS without a simple method of modifying menu navigation? World class!

vBulletin CMS isn't really a CMS. It's no where near what a CMS should be.

Edit the XML file and remove the "maxversion=" setting. The addon still works.

I deleted that but still not showing up in my admin options.

Can you just add a file for download to be compatible, thanks

Disregard my last, fix it!

[HondaATC]

Removing that line worked for me in vb gold too, thank you!

[SledgeHead]

Is there a way to add your own sub links?

Like...
" * New Posts
* Private Messages
* FAQ
* Calendar"

etc.?

[fayax]

FYI Works in vBcms 4 pl1 also. After upgrade didnt even have to reinstall. Good work!

[sapgaurav]

its not working with 4.0 gold, it should be upgrade, if its upgradde kinly mail me at sapgaurav@yahoo.com, i need this for http://forums.indianfresher.com

i would suggest editing it to say minversion="4.0.0" maxversion="4.2.0" in order to get it work until the OP can update themselves.

That's what I did and then it worked on Gold.

[Alibass]

Good mod, installed.

Maybe in your next update you keep the tab highlighted when it's used to redirect inside your website.

[Alex@Mk3OC]

How did you get it installed?

I edited the xml file to change the maxversion

[gillaraz]

Change the original to minversion="4.0" maxversion="4.2" It works !!

[Charlie98902]

Yep works just fine now. When you update form a previous VB I didn't get it but upon a new install you have to edit the xml.

Updated to work with vB4 Gold..

For the users that are asking to get tabs highlighted in custom pages, at this time it's not possible for me to do it. I haven't added any new feature, but I'm working in a new version that will make tabs more easily to add. However it will include 1 query, I think, I don´t know how many yet.

I will update this thread when this happen, but don't expect it to be released soon.

Cheers.

Dear Elmer,

First of all, great mod! Does its job and does it pretty easy. One thing though:

I've added some new tabs using your mod. However, when I'm on the Forums and I click on one of the new tabs, the Forum tab stays highlighted. Also, the page of the new tab doesn't have a title. Is this a known problem and do you know how to fix this?

Thank you in advance Elmer!

[Gnoll]

The page title has nothing to do with the new tab, if you have a custom page then you should add your page title into your custom template or page. This addon doesn't support tab highlighting at this moment, but I'm trying to implement it, however I can't tell when will be done.

adding facebook link groups doesnt work like Facebook|http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=125972630124 if you dont set =>blank or self....

[grahamsmythe]

This is beautiful.

How comes vBulletin didn't include something as simple as this in the base software?

[Zaiaku]

Was working on beta but since I upgraded to Gold PL1 no l onger working.

[kf4eok]

workes great with 4.0 gold
installed thanks

[abroad]

Selected functions not work
Forum is selected always

yes have the same problem....it always shows "Forum" as selected tab

[RDX1]

Can you include dropdown support? Hover over a tab to be able to have multiple links below? I'm not sure why separate threads and stickies is above you for hack of the month, but this feature would make you win. :P


http://www.wowhead.com/?items

Hover over community. It drops down to list links, with options for sublinks.

[Zaiaku]

Working on gold pl1 for me
there was a few pages bacc that posted the edit that fixes everything.

[valendono]

I have 40++ group.. its annoying if adding 1 by 1.. any clue to use groupping for every groups ?

hello
how to modify it to open to a new tab when it click?

[radmoose]

how to modify it to open to a new tab when it click?

Talking about a brower tab or a vBulletin navigation tab?

For browser tab, the "self" or "blank" setting as documents is what targets what window or browser tab will be used. put blank for it to spawn a new window or tab (it uses the syntax as used in the target field for a A HREF.

For a vBulletin navigation tab, you just use that URL.

Thanks, by the way how can i turn off the "what's news" tab :)

[Gleedo]

Thanks for a great mod - used it to make the 'Albums' more obvious :)

[Kat00]

Yes, that is a good call, I can't work it out either.

Awesome mod, I mainly want it for todays posts........If I can figure out how to remove that annoying "Wha's New" Tab, I'll install it for sure.

[frogster]

This addon doesn't support tab highlighting at this moment, but I'm trying to implement it, however I can't tell when will be done.

Great Mod...waiting on this too.

Voted!

Thanks!!!

[smooth-c]

Please add support for navbar tabs :)

[DDIG]

Can't believe it is not standard VB functionality. These are the small things that make life easier. Thanks a lot :)

This mod will be perfect if it could display active tab... I hope this can be accomplished somehow.

[ARadarDetector]

Can anyone recommend how I do this? I have this mod where it creates new tabs, however the page I link it to is a custom coded page, I want to keep the same header and navbar...background....logo...etc. as my site has. How would I just create a mirror basic page with same header and navbar but allow me to just have custom code in between the header and navbar? Please list DETAILED instructions on how to do this.

[wIrEs]

any ideas if it could be possible to add the possibility to modify the default tabs ?

[Silencer Groans]

Very nice

The installation was

Annex in Arabic

[Longjohn]

Installed it on vB4 Gold, works fine but using vBulletin.org|http://www.vbulletin.org=>blank
for example allows all usergroups to view the tab, when its supposed to be Admin only.

I could not get it to work for registered users and admins by using vBulletin|http://www.vbulletin.com=>blank;6 1, instead I had to use vBulletin.org|http://www.vbulletin.org=>blank.

Not sure if its a bug or if I am doing something wrong.

[Longjohn]

My apologies, I had been using a moderator user to do testing.

Everything is working as suggested. Good work :)

You can not with that with this hack, although Elmer says that he will try to add that functionality at some point, but there is no ETA atm.

However, if you can not wait for that to happen, then check out my site, there is a product that does all of this, see my signature for the link.

[Bacon Butty]

Shocking that such a feature isn't standard.

Good mod and thanks for doing what vBulletin should have already done. Needs custom nav bar sub links though.

[wheres me jumpa]

Installed. Thank you.

[albibak]

Elmer,

Thanks for the mod
Please, find in attachment the french translation
You can find the french topic for this mod here: http://forum.vbulletin-fr.org/modifications.php?do=showmod&modid=1080

P.S : For the next update, could you please include the phrase concerning the tab position (left, center, right), to have a fully phrased mod :)

P.S 2 : In your example, we notice a mistake. When you write : "Opens in a new window an is visible to the administrator and registered users. <br />
<b>vBulletin|http://www.vbulletin.com=&gt;blank;6 1<br />"
The usergroup ID for registered users is 2, and not 1 :)

[Hornstar]

such a useful mod that makes life that little easier. Why can't things like this be added as default is past me. Maybe 4.1 will include some useful features like this.

[WILFMAN]

Thanks for this very useful tool.

I would love to see it developed to include the standard tabs, Home Forums Blogs What's New, so they can be removed if required.

Thanks again

WILFMAN

[steven s]

When I click an an added tab, Forum is still highlighted.
Anyway around this?

[ryacine]

Thank you, thank you for this awesome mod. I simply love it.

[Sworm]

Hi,
why when i click on a tab, the button don't change in white like all the other default vbulletin 4 buttons?

For example if i go in the forum, the forum button will be changed in white, if i go in the blog, the blog button change in white..... Why using this mod , the new tab are not contorned and not been white?

[hassshasss]

in this way would be if we plug the link easy_pages.php?p=1 the following link button easy_pages.php?p in this way is that your pages for broken links will not open and how we can solve?

[glen290]

When I click an an added tab, Forum is still highlighted.
Anyway around this?

Same here, but not too bothered as this is a great mod, far easier to use for links to arcade etc than the small navbar links.

[paulbhoy]

Nice mod, saves me a lot of work

I have a questions though, I am using this to link to a page I made using this "how to" https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?threadid=229194

Is there anyway that when they click the link to that page, the tab is selected, instead of the home tab being selected?

paulbhoy, there is no way to do that in the current versi?n. I'll be working in a minor update to include some suggestions, but I won't be including every suggestion. I'm just going to update the current version, I will include a variable, that if active you will be able to use it in your custom page and use it in some sort of conditional to highlight your tab.


For all the other users that keep asking why this addon doesn't change the tab color to white when clicked, this addon doesn't support it and provably wont, however I will try to make something in the future.
There is a paid addon out there that do everything you people want, however I know that would be better if this features were free, so I will try to implement them at some point.

[Mary303]

This mod is great - thank you. I tried to write my own before I found this mod. Not terrifically difficult, but I'd still rather not have to do that again. ;)

I am also seconding the requests for highlighting. My "new tab" was just a simple link to Advanced Search. The default tab "What's New" gets highlighted when the "Search" link is clicked (and if I link to "content.php" instead of "search.php," the "Home" button gets highlighted - evidently some links will trigger certain tab highlights? - argh).

Thanks again for the time-saver, Elmer!

[childfun]

Nice! Thanks!

[GeorgeB85]

I like this, but I would suggest that it allows you to choose which user groups get to see the tape from a multiple drop down list (meaning you can choose more than one usergroup. Other than that, good job!

[alfanni]

Simple, yet very helpful and well-coded.
Thank you for this nice mod.

[Datenpapst]

Is it possible to place the new tabs after the Home tab for the CMS but before the Forum tab?

[tonmo]

Works great, but I think it's incredibly important to have the tab you create be highlighted when selected. Otherwise it seems broken to the end-user.

[ddrake]

Thanks!

[sveinung]

Installed, thanks :)

[OcR Envy]

Would really love to see a selected tab option added to this. Meaning the css changes when you are on the current tab page :)

[meissenation]

Installed. My only pet peeve is that I find myself having to list a crap load of usergroups just to get it to display for everyone. Can there not be, say, "all" that can be used to display the tab to everyone? Just to get one tab to show I'm having to add like 6 usergroups... :( I'd honestly prefer that leaving the usergroup part blank would default to everyone rather than defaulting to admins only... I'd rather have to specify the Admin usergroup ID and be able to leave it blank to display to everyone than having to list out all these usergroups...

[jaffaman]

I left mine blank and it shows to everyone (didnt notice it was a bug lol)

My code looks like.
Arcade|./arcade.php

[meissenation]

Haha well thanks for the info. The description in AdminCP says that if it's left off that it will be shown to only the Administrators usergroup. But hey if that works - then that's perfect for my needs! :)

[Sador]

Nice mod, thank you.

[MooseMoney]

Nice! :) Thank you.

[w1z8it]

Not working properly for me:

Wiki|http://www.<link removed>.org/wiki=>blank;6 1

Only shows for admin and unregistered users where it says in the settings:

Link Name|URL=>target;usergroup id
Example:
Opens in a new window an is visible to the administrator and registered users.
vBulletin|http://www.vbulletin.com=>blank;6 1

So how do I allow ALL users to see the button, registered, unregistered, admin, and mods?

I have tried:


Wiki|http://www.<link removed>.org/wiki=>blank;6 1 2

Same shit, not showing for registered users (who are in fact usergroup ID 2 :/)

[vcruiser]

VB needs to hire you. Works like a charm. Thanks

[Grimace]

Really awesome. Works like a charm.

[remember]

Works great, but I think it's incredibly important to have the tab you create be highlighted when selected. Otherwise it seems broken to the end-user.

I agree with this - it really needs to highlight the currently viewed tab. Very confusing at the moment with the wrong tab highlighted. Great work on the plug-in though! Thanks

[cherylferraro]

This is a great idea for a modification. I think that this type of functionality should be included in the default software. The selected tab really needs to be highlighted before I'd install this mod on my live forums.

I really appreciate your work on this. Thank you.

[Scan Cape Cod]

A most excellent plugin; can't get much easier than that. Many thanks, one excellent rating from here.

[pranaysanghavi]

excellent
just one thing.. reverse the logic of showing for selected users.. leaving the number blank, or 0, means that everyone can see the damn links.. i'd prefer that logic at least.. wat say/

otherwise, very good..
sometimes i dont know how the VB coding is done by those developers..

[Datenpapst]

Any idea when the current tab will be highlighted?

[ti07shadow]

Is there a way to add two separate tab groups, for example, one group on the left and one on the right? I tried adding a second plugin, but that didn't work. I just see one "vbh New Tabs Options" instance in Edit Settings.

[athlon64bit]

New posts are tagged by default in Vb 4 but should end with
search.php?do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post

For today's posts (Also in Navbar) should end with

search.php?do=getdaily
All the above after the correct path to your forum

The url you suggested displays the results as threads. Do you know how you can list todays posts as posts. I would be grateful if you could provide the url to display todays posts as posts. :)

[mikem164]

Any idea on how to change the color of the text? I've been looking and can't seem to come up with anytning. Thanks and keep up the good work!

[DHewes]

Great mod - easy to do, MUCH better than the template mod crap. As MANY people have said, three things:

1) This should be part of the default install - like any other CMS/Forum script (not your problem)

2) The selected tab really needs to be the one highlighted

3) Need a way to change the sub-navbar links along with the new tab, like the default links

Changing order of the new links and the default links is a fine idea, but I can live without it.

Great work, thanks!

[jimfries]

I take it this does not work with 4.0.1, because I have installed it and cannot get it to work

Edit.
I take this back, I got it to work in 4.0.1 I was putting in the wrong usergroup id LOL

I even tried using the link below instead but it still didn't show the text after the equals sign.

monthid.php?flightID=January

Can you help?

[Juggernaut]

One of the best mods available :D
Nominated.

[Muggz562]

waiting on the new version, hopefully theres a tab highlight option.

[Fusion2]

This is simple and easy to use. I love it!

But, how can i use with navbar links or dropdowns?

I am guessing i can do this on the page template, so that certain sub-categories appear on navbar as links. But, lots of extra work.

[Fusion2]

waiting on the new version, hopefully theres a tab highlight option.

OMG, your right. The tab doesnt have hover or highlight options. This totally doesnt work for me then as it will confuse my visitors as to where they are.

[Neptun]

is there a possibility to have this tabs with a drop down function ?! this would be great if Elmer can integrate this to the hack - then this hack is the best
