How do we modify the navigation links? "Home, Blog, Forums, What's New"

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Edit Templates -> Navigation/Breadcrumb Templates -> navbar

Where in the code should I add more links?

Ex. Gallery, Store, Events

Thank you,

There are a few mods and a couple of articles on adding tabs to the navbar. They are all slightly different but I'm sure one of them is what you want, just try a search.

I am learning the terms so I can search correctly

Search .org or com?
"navbar tab" title search?

If you have any recommended links then please let me know.

Thank you!!!!!

vB4 articles are here - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=242 You can easily spot a couple about the tabs in there.

Do a search on "tab*" or "navbar" in "4.0 Mods" "titles only" to find a bunch of mods regarding the navtab.

thank you,



I found 2, is there anyway to add links without a plug-in?

Can you just code the navbar template?
I think correct term is that I want to "add another link to a submenu"

I am used to just dropping in HTML so this is new to me.

thanks for the help

If you just want to add to the submenu, then use this article - [HOW TO - vB4] How add sub-menu drop down to the navbar (tab Forum) (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=232579) It shows how to do it via a plugin or template mod. If you do it via plugin, then you don't need to worry about updating your navbar template every time you do an upgrade.

very sorry, I need to add a menu, NOT a sub-menu.

Can this be hard coded in the navbar?

I go this to work

I was checking the INDEX.php file, not the FORUM.php file.
not sure why the changes did not apply there

They made it WAY too difficult to add links to the navbar. Whoever coded the navbar template / header structure did not do it the most efficient / flexible way. It's very poorly done.

I go this to work for FORUM.php, not INDEX.php without a plugin, I dont even know how to use plug-ins. I know HTML and come CSS but this is still pretty annoying
