Tabs Add System for vBulletin 4 (sstab advanced)

[Jhonnyf]

Review:
This mod allows you to easily add and remove tabs on the navigation bar using the adminCP. Tabs can appear as "selected" after being clicked, automatically deselecting the other tabs.
You also have the option of indicating which groups are allowed and not allowed to see the tabs via usergroup id.
Tabs may operate as normal select tabs, as drop-down menus. or as links to external sites.

The Hack only use 1 SQL sentence to create All the Menu, no Template edition

This Hack allows you to create tabs at the bar of vBulletin 4.0

- Import the product 'product-evbs_sstab_advanced.xml'

[dieKetzer]

sorry guys, youre on your own with this mod.
i am off to greener pastures; xenforo.com (http://xenforo.com)
==================================

update (dec 2011) it appears another coder has made some changes to this mod and made them available (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2244685&postcount=1126). this may fix some issues you are having with this mod.

==================================
this mod is intended for vb4 and its default header navigation template set. if you try to use this on a third-party template set, youre on your own.

quickstart:

in the admin cp under the section 'Tabs vbSoporte' (in the left frame)...

-config - use to turn off/on the default vb tabs, such as forum, whats new, blogs, etc or to turn off the mod, or to change the number of allow/not allow columns to show.

-menu tabs - create a tab for the menu, and decide how it will function.
click 'add new tab' at the bottom and bring up the following
-----tab label - this is the name of the tab, and the text that will appear on the nav tab.
-----this tab is a menu- if you want the tab to activate a drop down list of links, select yes. if you want it to function as a link to a page, leave it set to no.
-----url- if you want this tab to link to a page, enter the url here. if this tab will activate a drop-down menu, leave this blank.
-----tab mode- there are 3 ways to decide how the tabs become 'highlighted', in a selected state:
---------this_script- the most reliable method is to enter the ''this_script' information and select this option. there are cases where tabs will interfere with one another and result in multiple tabs being selected at one time. this is a 'this_script conflict', so you may need to try a url option.
--------url- to instead use the url to enter a selected state, enter an absolute url (ie http://www.example.com/forum/memberlist.php). relative urls (ie /memberlist.php) will fail. do not enter anything into the 'this script' field. (currently bugged)
---------url_parameter- if your url contains parameters (somepage.php?action=1&etc), you will need to select this option. to enter a selected state, enter an absolute url (ie http://www.example.com/forum/memberlist.php?action=1&etc). relative urls (ie /memberlist.php) will fail. do not enter anything into the 'this script' field. (currently bugged)
-----set the this_script value- if youre using the 'this_script' method, enter the information here, ie arcade. if you are instead using the one of the url options, leave this blank.
-----target- determines if the link should open a new window or not. _self=same window, _blank=new window. if you are attempting to use javascript* to open a new window you may want to leave this set to _self if extra windows open.
-----allow/not allow- you can make tabs visible to admin-only, invisible for the unregistered, etc.
-----tab is active- you can turn off a tab if need be
-----tab position- use this to position a tabs location on the nav bar relative to the default vb tabs.
-----display order- within each tab position, in what order will these tabs appear in the navigation bar? enter a numeric value. lower numbers appear first, a tab with an order of 10 will appear before one with an order of 20.
*you can set multiple tabs' display orders in one shot on the main menu tab page. remember to click 'save changes' when youre finished.

-drop-down items- if you selected tab is a menu=yes when creating a tab. you can enter its menu items here. a drop-down menu tab and its menu items are not expected to select/highlight.
click 'add item' at the bottom and bring up the following
-----parent tab- which tab is this a menu item for? select it from the list. if the tab is not listed, check to make sure you set its 'tab is a menu' option to yes.
-----menu text- what you want the link to say on the menu.
-----url- the page you want to link to
-----target- determines if the link should open a new window or not. _self=same window, _blank=new window. if you are attempting to use javascript* to open a new window you may want to leave this set to _self if extra windows open.
-----allow/not allow- you can make tabs visible to admin-only, invisible for the unregistered, etc.
-----menu item active- you can turn off a menu item if need be
-----display order- in what order will these tabs appear in the drop down menu? enter a numeric value. lower numbers appear first, a tab with an order of 10 will appear before one with an order of 20.
*you can set multiple menu items' display orders in one shot on the main menu item page. remember to click 'save changes' when youre finished.

-nav sub-links- if you want a horizontal row of links to appear under the tabs when clicking a tab and navigating to a particular page, you may add them here. in order for sub-links to appear, the parent tab must be in a selected state. if you havent managed to get the tab to appear highlighted, your sub-links will not appear.
click 'add item' at the bottom and bring up the following
-----parent tab- which tab is this a sub-link item for? select it from the list. if the tab is not listed, check to make sure you set its 'tab is a menu' option to no.
-----menu text- what you want the link to say on the sub nav bar.
-----url- the page you want to link to
-----target- determines if the link should open a new window or not. _self=same window, _blank=new window. if you are attempting to use javascript* to open a new window you may want to leave this set to _self if extra windows open.
-----allow/not allow- you can make links visible to admin-only, invisible for the unregistered, etc.
-----menu item active- you can turn off a link item if need be
-----display order- in what order will these links appear in the sub nav bar? enter a numeric value. lower numbers appear first, a tab with an order of 10 will appear before one with an order of 20.
*you can set multiple menu items' display orders in one shot on the main nav sub-links item page. remember to click 'save changes' when youre finished.

*about launching javascript windows: RK1gaming found he could get a tab to launch a javascript window by using the following injection as the tab url:
'javascript:void(0)' onclick='window.open("http://www.example.com/somepage.html","","height=407,width=650,status=1")
leave 'target = _self'. this is an unsupported use, but it appears to work.

here are THIS_SCRIPT for things

vbadvanced home - adv_index
ispy - vaispy
vbcms 'content.php' - vbcms
PhotoPost - ppindex
links and downloads manager - local_links
ibProArcade - arcade

to find a this_script:
open the php file (locally, not the webpage!) youre trying to link to and look for this line in the code:

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'blahblahblah');

insert the blahblahblah into the 'this_script' field (without the quote marks).
although not chiselled in stone, generally this_script is is the same as the script file name.

[Jhonnyf]

these nav hacks are getting better and better :)
any plan to expand the functionality to include subnav links?
Examples? with Imagen please

[dieKetzer]

meaning to allow us to dictate the sub-links associated with each button.
for example, how 'forum' has these sublinks ' New Posts | Private Messages | FAQ | Calendar | Community'Examples? with Imagen please

[rbc]

thanks, works great - :)

[Jhonnyf]

I did not noticed that there are different links depending on tab, I will do that for the next version or for 500 installs

[Skyrider]

I hope next version, 500 might take a while. I also would like to see sub-tabs.

BUG REPORT:
I can't delete any tabs! Attempting to delete them brings me to an empty admincp page.

Thank you for report

[Muggz562]

Awesome! Definitely installed! I have been waiting for something like this for awhile. :)

[Skyrider]

Fixed. download again

Thank you for report
Thanks! Do you know how to remove the default tabs by vBulletin? (forum/whats new).

[princeedward]

great mod....this will be the easiest way and fantastic if we can also add sub links below...under each tab we create.... ;) thanks anyway...

[Hornstar]

Thanks, I hope you can update this without having to wait for the 500 installs tho...

tagged for when I upgrade to VB4

[texasteamplayer]

I did not noticed that there are different links depending on tab, I will do that for the next version or for 500 installs 500 installs? that will take months.

you also need to add the ability to add drops downs to the tab.

http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/9572/picture1ij.png

The "admin tools" came from MARCO1 Quick Admin Tools mod in this forum.

I'd rather have no "sub nav" links, and simply the drop downs. Eliminates the need for a sub nav bar.

And, if you can add drop downs, then even drop downs within dropdowns. Sections within sections. So complex menu's can be made.

[texasteamplayer]

Thanks! Do you know how to remove the default tabs by vBulletin? (forum/whats new).

that too. We need a full tab/nav bar manager, so we can choose what's going to be where. Not vB choosing for us.

[Jhonnyf]

Taken note for the next version (ok,ok, not 500 Installs)
* TABS with Drop menu (post #14)
* Sub link for new Tabs (delete all and create the news for the Tab)(post #3 and #14)

Somethings else?

[LoveStream]

Excellent idea Man :)

How about you add new Navbar menu with option underneath your NabTab?

Thanks.

[ascott]

Excellent, just what I was looking for, thank you.

[zbahadir]

nice work :up:

[DjEddie]

nice mod thanks .. chose this one over the others available.. seems nice n easy .. and sounds better with the added suggestions on the next update..

one more if is possible .. any way to be able to give the tab a color .. either just able to color the text or if possible to color the text and/or tab too?

thanks :)

[khuhner]

How do you REMOVE vb4 default tabs? I'm looking to remove "Blogs" and "What's New".

Kurt

[Sarcoth]

How do you REMOVE vb4 default tabs? I'm looking to remove "Blogs" and "What's New".

Kurt

If you plan to remove Blogs all together, just disabling the blogs plugin in the Products Manager will remove the tab. Otherwise, it's most likely a plugin under the Blogs area.

[madotds]

Hi thank you for this mod :) great job and voted mod of month.

Now can anyone tell me what the "THIS_SCRIPT" would be for vbadvanced please?

Mark :)

Edit: Sorry I found it "adv_index"

Great mod! cheers

[3DUInc]

OUTSTANDING!!! I have been waiting for just this!

I agree with posts #3 and #14 and I wish you much more then 500 installs :)

Thanks again! :)

[Juggernaut]

Thank you for this great addon.

[badawidollah]

this is great
thanks

i love it

[Leo Brazil]

I'm tagging this one. If we have dropdowns option for tabs would be perfect.

[Datenpapst]

Any possiblity to get a tab to be marked active if the link is to a section of the CMS?

Like: content.php?118

[Jhonnyf]

I have the DROP DOWN System complete (100%)

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

This is new option for the hack, the first menu (Manager) is the same

when I finish the Sub menu system I going to release a new Version

[viganothing]

for the ones who want to remove Whats New tab follow this steps:

AdminCP > Styles and templates > your style > Edit templates >
in the list double click on
navbar
search for the these lines and remove them

<vb:elseif condition="$show['member']" />
<li><a class="navtab" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getnew&amp;contenttype=vBForum_P ost">{vb:rawphrase getnew_tab}</a></li>
<vb:else />
<li><a class="navtab" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getdaily&amp;contenttype=vBForum _Post">{vb:rawphrase getnew_tab}</a></li>
Save and you're done

[choitz]

Great work!! Such speed on Drop Down too... going to install now and just hope it works as well as it looks/sounds!

[InfoNirvana]

OUTSTANDING!!! I have been waiting for just this!

Agreed.

:up: :up:

Subnavs are often annoying and vBulletin is way to subnav happy.

This is shaping up to be thee mandatory Tab System for vB 4.
Great addon.
+++ Tagged ... will install ASAP.

[TrailRecon]

This is a very nice mod. Thank you

However, before we keep it...Is there anyway with this mod to add a tab which points to a custom vb powered page and remain selected?

The page is rendered through a vb custom template and is calling some php code from outside vB. The vb powered page includes the tab bar at the top of it so it looks incorrect to see the tab for the page you are on but the forum tab is the one highlighted. I need to make that tab stay selected when on that page.

Oh and x2 on the ability to set the sub menu items based on the selected tab!

Thanks for the nice work!

[InfoNirvana]

However, before we keep it...Is there anyway with this mod to add a tab which points to a custom vb powered page and remain selected?

Anyone using this mod on their site ?
I would like to verify that when you click a Tab made by this mod ... that the Tab Appears Selected. Other TAB mods suffer from this problem.

Currently it does not

[TrailRecon]

Anyone using this mod on their site ?
I would like to verify that when you click a Tab made by this mod ... that the Tab Appears Selected. Other TAB mods suffer from this problem.

If it is an internal page it DOES stay selected. For example if you specify THIS_SCRIPT for a tab to the member list then it does stay selected.

Does not stay selected if it is and external link.

Seems there must be a way for a custom page that is powered by VB which is what my question was in reference to how to do...or if it is possible

[TrailRecon]

ok, figured it out. Forgot the .php on the name.

For those of you that have a vb powered page, all you have to do is DL your php file for that page and open it it wordpad. Towards the top you will find THIS_SCIPT. Right after it will be the name you use.

As long as you define any php file I imagine it will still show selected

Thank you and marking installed! I have used a few nav tab mods and this one is the best for sure. Once the sub menus are able to be changed based on the sleeted tab this will for sure be the definitive tab mod!

[joseduddy]

Great Mod.
I want to ad a blank between each tab so to space them out. Is there a code for this.
Thanks in advance

[Jhonnyf]

Option to create TABS DROP DOWN MENU 100%
Option to create Sublink for TABS 95%
Full Admin System 95%
Testing with my Betatesters (my friends) = 0% :P

When my friends testing the opcion I release this version

[War.Frog]

Great mod...can anyone touch up the language and re-issue a more English hack version?

[War.Frog]

I just noticed that when one of the new tabs is activated (added via this hack), the dropdown dialogs on my forum come up white. The links are actually still in there, but hidden. The dropdown arrows also change colour and blend with the background.

Yea there is definitely a glitch when you have multiple dropdowns. I had one drop down added successfully and everything was fine. I added a new one and my first one disappeared. My new one inherited the links of the old one. I can't seem to have two dropdowns at once.

I hope this is fixed because I am absolutely loving this hack! Thanks!

please, delete the tabs menu and child that you create witch version 2.0, the error do thaty the sublink became in Tabs Drop Down

You can Create many TABS and many MENU TABS with my hack

por obvious reason, only Internal Page (with THIS SCRIPT) can have Sublink

Look my TEST forum
http://www.vbsoporte.com/test/

[sdavis2702]

I'm sorry I didn't understand much of what you just said but I have realized that it works. It seems that I have to create them in the order that I want them. I tried to make a new menu item with a drop down, but then place it with a lower display order number and it messed everything up. If I make a new menu dropdown second, it must display second. So yea... it works but there is a small issue there.

On your test forum, move your 3rd menu (manager 4) to be position with a lower display number than the 1st one (miembros). Can you let me know if you have the same issue I do with that?

Thanks buddy

[khuhner]

I just upgraded to version 2.01 and I'm having some wierd stuff happen with adding sub-menus to tabs. I can add a tab, then when I add a sub-menu the tab disappears.

Great Mod, the best i've seen so far, simple easy to use.
Thanks:)

INSTALLED

[RDX1]

Yea there is definitely a glitch when you have multiple dropdowns. I had one drop down added successfully and everything was fine. I added a new one and my first one disappeared. My new one inherited the links of the old one. I can't seem to have two dropdowns at once.

I hope this is fixed because I am absolutely loving this hack! Thanks!

Same here. Just installed 2.01 and have the same issue.

[SweetSVT99]

Yes, I told that only work with Default NAVBAR template, only this way can do Automatic. sorry


Ok, I see the error that mix 2 menu when their are together
Fixing.....

Some Another Problem or bug?

So are you saying that this mod won't work with any non-default styles? Am I just missing something, because it works great for the default, but no others. :(

[SweetSVT99]

OK nevermind...it appears that I had some code in my navbar for my custom styles that was stopping it from working. THANK YOU for this mod!

[RDX1]

Doesn't work with default navbar either.

[dieKetzer]

i thought the sub menus were a future addition!

[Trek]

Just installed this, works very well! Thank you!

I haven't tried the multiple tabs with dropdowns yet, but the single tab I have with dropdowns so far is working great.

Nominated!

[GeorgeB85]

Looks good. Only real suggestion that I would make is to allow the admins to select multiple usergroups to add, instead of adding the usergroup id numbers. Other than that, good!

[redraider]

What would be the THIS_SCRIPT for the vbulletin CMS (content.php)

[kisanjong]

Doesn't work with default navbar either.

i agree i am using the default navbar, but just changed the color, editing nothing else and its not working. :)

[Rocket2009]

ok, figured it out. Forgot the .php on the name.

For those of you that have a vb powered page, all you have to do is DL your php file for that page and open it it wordpad. Towards the top you will find THIS_SCIPT. Right after it will be the name you use.

As long as you define any php file I imagine it will still show selected


Thank you and marking installed! I have used a few nav tab mods and this one is the best for sure. Once the sub menus are able to be changed based on the sleeted tab this will for sure be the definitive tab mod!

Excellent! I was trying to find this and it worked for me. Note the minor typo ... above is THIS_SCRIPT is what it shows for me.

For example, I wanted to replace Home with the word "Commentary" in the menu and put it to the right (still trying to figure out how to use the CMS system for my application). Now Commentary stays lit when I head to content.php and indicate the script is vbcms.

[Rocket2009]

As reported, I was able to get a new tab to highlight when selected:

I made a new tab and went to url: ../forum/content.php
I looked into the content.php and saw that THIS_SCRIPT was specified as vbcms in the file ... I used this in your THIS_SCRIPT box and it was highlighted!

Thank you. v2.01

[Rocket2009]

vbcms is THIS_SCRIPT for content.php

[Rocket2009]

This got me 90% to where I need to be. I look forward to future upgrades. I was actually thinking about to tossing out VB4 for my application or investing considerable effort to study the contextual menu system. This hack saved me loads of time and got me close.

I hope everyone will encourage the developer on this project. He is filling a great need! I just sent some money which is several times bigger than the requested amount, but represents a fraction of the time I would have spent hacking away on this.

My main request for the future is I'd like the ability to manage the subtabs under the cardinal tabs (Forum, Home, etc.) and possibly rename those tabs as well. Of course, I could over-write them and re-create them, but this might be faster.

I also did not get a chance to check out menus on the subtabs (like under Forum).

All-in-all the developer has found a sweet spot to add value.

[redraider]

Rocket ... thanks so much .. i agree this is a great hack, I have nominated it for MOTM

I just upgraded to 2.0.2 and it broke my tab system ...

[MrKramer]

Uber mod this, i like it verry much.

I got only one question:

I use for example "forumdisplay.php?333" as menu tabs but then i cant get it highlighted, does someone got a idea how to highlight that cause it has no THIS_SCRIPT.

Still its a verry good hack.

Thank you!

[dieKetzer]

i am experiencing a 'double-selected' issue that didnt exist prior to updating to 2.02 tonight.
both the default 'forum' tab and a custom tab linked to 'supscription.php' highlight when viewing the subscriptions page, despite this_script being correctly identified as 'subscription' in the custom tab.
it is perhaps noteworthy that the subscription tab also seems to have inherited the forum sub links as well.

i reckon this is related to changes in the sub nav code, because this bug was not present in the earlier release.
yes, subscription.php carries the this_script as 'subscription' in the nav tab options in adminCP.

attempting to add new sub links to the 'subscription' tab results in the new sublinks appearing superimposed over the 'forum-inherited' sub links.

[dgkrob]

fantastic mod! really well done.

one question that im sure someone can answer, How do i remove all the links under the tabs so all im using is the tabs, I.e new posts, private messages, faq, calendar etc?

Cheers

Rob

[aberg]

Thanks, install today but there is a bug in the script.
In the URL there is a %20 in it.
So a URL is display as:
www.test%20.com
This give a error 404

[Matais]

Thanks Jhonny this addon is working perfectly for me, and thanks for integrating it with vbadvanced <3

[SnitchSeeker]

This is looking great! Thanks for all the excellent support you seem to be giving too! It's nice to see somebody working so hard to give us the features we need with this new (shitty) tab system vb has forced upon us! :)

Any possiblity to get a tab to be marked active if the link is to a section of the CMS?

Like: content.php?118

I second this and am glad to give a donation to help you along if that works. Let me know how I can help.

Cheers! :)

EDIT: Donation sent and will send more once this fills my need 100%. So far, all that is lacking (I think) is ability to highlight tab for specific forum sections. Currently, any forum you are in will show "Forums" tab as active. I want some of my forums to have their own tab, and for that to override the default "Forums" tab. Problem is THIS_SCRIPT for all forums is the same, so I'm not sure how one would override it. Possibly writing condition will work, as Lynne says in this thread (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?337553-How-do-I-add-items-to-the-new-menu&p=1910433&viewfull=1#post1910433) (see also her post 2 down from that), but I don't code so I have no idea.

[skor]

If I create a tab called "Business" with url to a section (i.e. content.php/11-business) of the cms and then use vbcms as THIS_SCRIPT, both the Home and Business tabs are highlighted if I navigate to Home or Business.

Can you help me fix this? Really liking this mod but double highlight looks strange.

Thank you!

Ok, option to write a URL (THIS Disable THIS_SCRIPT) and highlight
Something else?? new Ideas? :D

[compuminus]

If I do not add any new links to the top menu (and only use the hack to disable some of them, such as the what's new link), then I get the following PHP error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/class_bootstrap.php(283) : eval()'d code on line 111

Just to make sure you know what I mean, take vb.org for example. vBulletin 4.0 Modifications (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=244) is a sub-forum to vBulletin Modifications (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=198). If I want to make "vb 4 Mods" it's own tab, then vBulletin 4.0 Modifications (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=244), and any post or thread or sub-forum (such as vBulletin 4.0 Add-ons (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=245), or vBulletin 4.0 Template Modifications (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=246)) to it should show that tab (vb 4 Mods) as highlighted, and NOT the "Forums" tab. However all other forums, threads and posts (that are not made to tabs) should show the "Forums" tab as highlighted.

Or... if I were to make the whole forum section vBulletin Modifications (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=198) into a tab called "vb Mods", then vBulletin Modifications (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=198), vBulletin 4.0 Modifications (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=244), as well as all threads, posts and other sub-forums should highlight the "vb Mods" tab and not the "Forums" tab. While all other forums (that are not tabs) would highlight the forums tab.

Comprende?

Yeah, I know it's complicated but I think several people are looking for exactly that. I hope you know what I mean. Sorry I suck at simplifications.

Good luck!! :D

EDIT: If it's easier, then for me it would be enough to limit it to allow only first-level forums as TABS (i.e. for vb.org, vBulletin 3 Discussion, vBulletin 4 Discussion, Community Discussion, etc). As long as all sub-forums, threads, posts, etc. under that forum would highlight the right tab, and not the Forums tab.

[Demo16]

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I want to add for example the "reviews" tab. But this tab most be linked to a section, when I click this tab, I'm directed to the right section but the HOME tab is still highlighted and not the review one.

Am I doing something wrong?

[Jhonnyf]

If I do not add any new links to the top menu (and only use the hack to disable some of them, such as the what's new link), then I get the following PHP error:

I'm going to check that.

Another bug: if the link title is longer than 20 characters it truncates the title at 20 characters.

Yes, I create the table with only 20 characters for tabs title... to little???

Only Tabs with THIS_SCRIPT field can be highlighted, in the next version with URL

[compuminus]

I'm going to check that.

Great, thanks! This is by far the best tab management addon. Very useful.

Yes, I create the table with only 20 characters for tabs title... to little???

well, just barely. I have one link that is 21 characters :)

Also, one other glitch I just noticed: when you have a drop-down menu, the styling of the mouseover appears incorrect. The tab link correctly changes color, but the background does not.

[Demo16]

Jhonny, the THIS_SCRIPT field you talk about an inside page. how can I do this? I mean the review page is a section of the CMS so is inside the website but what do I have to put in the url and in THIS_SCRIPT field in order to make it work?

tnx

Jhonnyf, nice update! Just wanted to share that I found a small issue..

When adding a new submenu, under "Groups NOT Allowed to see TAB" There is an empty table with "yes" / "no" as option in the right.

PS, how exactly does "THIS_SCRIPT" work?

[skor]

There seems to be an issue with tabs sub links as follows:

1. I have created a menu tab ("Business") pointing to a section on my cms. For THIS_SCRIPT I put vbcms.
2. I then created a sub link called "Business Discussions" under the "Business" menu tab. I have no other sub menus under the business section (i.e I unchecked all boxes under the Sections to Display in Navbar Sub-Menu).
3. I do have sub menus to sections under my homepage of cms.
4. If I go to the homepage of the cms, the "Business Discussions" tab sub link shows up on top of the other sub menu items on the cms homepage.

I think it's related to my putting vbcms as THIS_SCRIPT when I created the menu tab to the section "Business". Also, as noted in a previous post, if I click the "Business" menu tab, both homepage and business tabs are highlighted.

The first attachment is shot of cms homepage. Note the overflow of sub menu links and double highlight of tabs.
The second attachment is shot of cms business section menu tab with the tab sub link created using mod cp.

[SnitchSeeker]

Edit: On second thought, I want to wait until the bugs are confirmed ironed out and I can get confirmation that this does what I have asked. If so, it's well worth the $30 or $40 I plan to donate. Cheers! :)

[Skyrider]

Curious.. I see there is a limitation set on how many characters can be used in the menu name. Possible this can be increased to unlimited? It would be good so I can use HTML within the menu to make stuff bold and add color in it.

[Jhonnyf]

- Ok, Title to 100 characters to TABS a MENU (more????)
- Fix Error when not have TABs
- Working to use URL (content.php?118) or URL+Parameter (content.php?118&page=1)

Something else?

That use another kind of system, for example you should be set with forum do that the TAB be highlighted. you talk to hide categories too?

It's different to make highlighted when set a exactly URL (content.php?118) or URL+Parameter (content.php?118&page=1)

I can do that Opcion, but for the menor update (2.1) but I think that should be another hack (compatible with this mod) because I going to use extra fields in FORUM TABLE or Use another Own table

[Demo16]

Jhonny, the THIS_SCRIPT field you talk about an inside page. how can I do this? I mean the review page is a section of the CMS so is inside the website but what do I have to put in the url and in THIS_SCRIPT field in order to make it work?

[ComoEstaEso-com]

Excellent!

?Muchas gracias amigo, desde Puerto Rico! :)

[volarium]

Suggestion for a future release: Allow multiple entries in the THIS_SCRIPT field.

On my site, I use PhotoPost. The index.php of PhotoPost is THIS_SCRIPT = "ppindex". However, there are also sub-sections of PhotoPost. For example, showphoto.php is THIS_SCRIPT = "showphoto". So in this example, I would like to enter both "ppindex" and "showphoto" into the field THIS_SCRIPT so that the tab will be highlighted as I move around within PhotoPost.

Would this be a difficult feature to add?

[dieKetzer]

1. have your vb zip installation unzipped somewhere on your hard drive
2. what page are you linking to?;lets assume its calendar.php... open your local copy of that page and look for the 'this_script' line of code, ie define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'calendar');
its normally toward the top of the script.
3. enter calendar into the buttons 'this_script' info.

the button will appear selected whenever a page is loaded that declares define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'calendar');I still don't understand how to make the Tabs so they are highlighted to where you are.
When I click on a new Tab I have made, the 'Forum' tab is highlighted instead of the newly made Tab.

[New Joe]

Thanks dieKetzer

[Skyrider]

Yea, I'm curious myself how THIS_SCRIPT works exactly.

PS, found a bug:
It won't hide the main tab when I use "Groups Allowed to see TAB".. It hides the subcategories from users, but it doesn't hide the main menu tab. And yes, I've set the groups allowed in the main tab (not in the submenu) and it still refuses to hide it.

I read through every post to see if something was mentioned like this, and the VERY LAST post lol

Anyway, yes, I can second this one.
I have a special "Admin" tab with about 10 submenu links. I have both the tab and submenu links set so only "admin usergroup" can see and all other usergroups cannot see. The submenu links hide fine, but the main tab does not.

Thanks! Great mod!

You are great with support for this mod, well done:up:

[Fusion2]

Not sure if already addressed, but the sublinks arent showing on my side.

I created the tabs, added sublinks which show the correct tabs as parents. But, it displays the default CMS sublinks, even if i disable the CMS sublinks.

Also my tabs arent highlighting when clicks.

Otherwise the product works great. But, i am gonna leave disabled until those two items are resolved.

Don't know about the first one, but the second one is related to the SCRIPT tab when adding new menu's. Haven't figured out how they work yet. The menu's are working just fine for me, so I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work for you.

[Fusion2]

A few more wish items:

1. If you add enough tabs, the tabs overlap with the search field. Need a fix to prevent this.

2. If you add enough tabs, the tabs rollover to the second line, which overlaps with the navlinks. Need a fix to prevent this.

3. It would be nice if you could re-order and rename the default tabs (blog, home etc.) from this mod, as you are able to hide them.

4. For people with long tier-1 menus. It would be great if you could automatically create a second level to the tab menu, and decide which tabs appear on level 1 or level 2; rather then this overlap with the navlinks menu

[Fusion2]

the second one is related to the SCRIPT tab when adding new menu's. Haven't figured out how they work yet. The menu's are working just fine for me, so I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work for you.

Ahhh, see what I am doing is I created tabs for each of my CMS Section Categories, as a magazine or online news site would have.

When i click "Sports" or "Nightlife," it doesnt highlight the custom tab, it only highlights the Home Tab and the applicable menu item on the Section Menu widget. For SCRIPT, I am using the URL for the CMS Section.

[Sarcoth]

I'm not sure if this has been reported, but if you add a new tabs, the group permissions work great. Meaning, only the groups you set can see the tab. When you add drop-down items to that tab with permissions, the tab is now visible to other groups even if the drop-downs are not visible.

I also can't seem to be able to get the tab sub-links working. Can someone post a link to their site showing me how those are supposed to work?

[dieKetzer]

there are some bugs with the sublinks that Jhonnyf is working on.
as far as linking to multiple cms categories and so on, he is also adding the option to select tabs via URL in addition to the this_script method, which should solve that dilemma.

[Demo16]

for Example, open calendar.php and you see
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'calendar');

Open showthread.php
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'showthread');

Open Group.php
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'group');

That is a Identificator to know with php archive you are load

Ok so for example for an internal section this won't work. So if I create news section the Tab won't be highlighted. Is this corrrect?

[SnitchSeeker]

- Ok, Title to 100 characters to TABS a MENU (more????)
- Fix Error when not have TABs
- Working to use URL (content.php?118) or URL+Parameter (content.php?118&page=1)

Something else?

*********************


That use another kind of system, for example you should be set with forum do that the TAB be highlighted. you talk to hide categories too?

It's different to make highlighted when set a exactly URL (content.php?118) or URL+Parameter (content.php?118&page=1)

I can do that Opcion, but for the menor update (2.1) but I think that should be another hack (compatible with this mod) because I going to use extra fields in FORUM TABLE or Use another Own table

I don't understand anything you wrote (too technical for my peabrain) but I'll have to take your word for it. :)

Any idea how soon that could be done?

Thanks for all your work! :)

[volarium]

You are great with support for this mod, well done:up:

Agreed - it's not very often that a developer is this responsive to not only bugs, but also feature requests. It's refreshing!

I have installed your hack but when I delete the Home and blog page I get spanish tabs also. All I want is the "Forum" and "Whats New". I also do not see the "Tabs vbsoporte" on the ACP. Did I install something wrong? I have attached screen shots of the menu. The shot menu1 is how I would like the nav bar to look.
Thanks

[trilOByte]

Great mod, almost there but I have issues with THIS_SCRIPT and highlighting the wrong tabs too.

What I was trying to do, was create a tab linked to a search that shows only a certain number of forums using "do=getnew&include=X,Y,Z" - Where X,Y,Z are the forum numbers that I want to include (and thereby exclude everything else. Works fine except the What's New tab is highlighted. Because I'm using search.php in my link, I can set THIS_SCRIPT to search to keep the new tab highlighted, but if I do that, it kills the highlighting of What's New and the submenus dissapear. I'm thinking each tab must have a unique THIS_SCRIPT identifier? Aside from it highlighting the wrong tab, this mod is superb.

For clarity, I am using...
"do=getnew&exclude=X,Y,Z" on What's New and...
"do=getnew&include=X,Y,Z" on the new tab.

But as they both have THIS_SCRIPT = "search" I get the wrong tab highlighted. Any way round this?

[alexm]

Ok, multi-script field for the next version.


Excellent! :D

I'm using photopost too

[dieKetzer]

he is working on a way to use the url to trigger the select in addition to this_script for exactly this kind of dilemma.Great mod, almost there but I have issues with THIS_SCRIPT and highlighting the wrong tabs too...

Wouldn't you think that vB would have some kind of menu management system built in?

[flegul]

[arose58]

I am confused (sorry but I have only used vbulletin for 2 months) here is a screen shot of the option I am using to delete the tabs. Is this what you mean by "menu tabs"? Thanks for your help.

No, that's the global setup for the mod itself.

In your adminCP on the lefthand nav, you should have a new option (dropdown) for this mod. Click that, in there is where you configuring the tabs/subtabs, etc.

[dancop]

Is there any way to make this mod multilanguage capable? In such way that if the user change its language, the labels on the new tabs change accordingly?

Thanks I did do the install wrong. I did not copy the "admincp" and "includes" folders to merge with the current "Admincp" and "Merge" Folders. Now I get the menu on the side but when I activate it I get the following error:

"Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/class_bootstrap.php(283) : eval()'d code on line 109"
and my menu looks as per the attachment. I would like to thank all who have helped out.

[tazattitude]

Jhonny,
Hopefully this is in the new updated version.
You mentioned you were going to check it out...
Like to hide those tabs from usergroups

I have a special "Admin" tab with about 10 submenu links. I have both the tab and submenu links set so only "admin usergroup" can see and all other usergroups cannot see. The submenu links hide fine, but the main tab does not.
see orig post on "page 10"

Thanks!

[asuccar]

Hey Jhonny,

Hate to sound clueless, but when I create a new button with drop down, the usual backgound rollover colors dont appear like the other navbar buttons. Also, how can i change the background color for the dropdown buttons?

Cheers.

[khuhner]

I located this mod and really liked what it was coded to do. I have added several tabs to my home page (see tabs.bmp). One tab is for the Calendar (see calendar.bmp). See how only the Calendar tabs is colored properly? OK, now take a look at the Membership tab (see membership.bmp). Why is AND the FOrum tab colored and they both have the same sub menus? I figured if it worked for Calendar it should work for Membership.

Any thoughts, suggestions or ideas?

Jhonnyf:

Thanks for the quick turnaround! I upgraded and it ios now working properly.

This is a gret mod and honestly should be included in standard VB, rather than a mod. It's that good!

Kurt

[skor]

Thank you for the update!

I am still having some issues with sub links:

1) I created a menu tab with url to a cms section then used "URL" for tab mode. Now when I click the tab the correct tab stays highlighted.

Issues:

- All the default sub menu links disappeared for that section. Whether I use "use menu from homepage" or "use the sections I choose below", the links under the tabs do not show up.

- So I figured I would create tab sub links for the tab. But when I do this, it breaks the highlight feature so that if I click the tab, the Home tab highlights and not the selected tab.

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or I upgraded improperly? I uploaded the files from 2.0.3 and overwrote the previous versions. Then I imported the xml file with overwrite set to yes.

Thank you for the time you've spent on this great mod!

[GeorgeB85]

thanks for the update. Much appreciated!

[Jhonnyf]

- All the default sub menu links disappeared for that section. Whether I use "use menu from homepage" or "use the sections I choose below", the links under the tabs do not show up.


Yes, because Each Tab have their own sublink, if I activate the sublink of the CMS then the HOME TABS activate too

- So I figured I would create tab sub links for the tab. But when I do this, it breaks the highlight feature so that if I click the tab, the Home tab highlights and not the selected tab.

Not understand, check MP

No, maybe you it's a bug, only check and see



Thank you for the time you've spent on this great mod!
thank you

[trilOByte]

Thanks for the update.

Unfortunately, I am still having issues with the wrong tab highlighted.

I'm using a couple of additional tabs, no submenus, to point to filtered searches. Both the new tabs point to search.php as does "What's New". How do I configure the THIS_SCRIPT value so I get the correct tab highlighted?

Example of your URL that you set?

[trilOByte]

Example of your URL that you set?

I'm using these two....

search.php?do=getdaily&contenttype=vBForum_Post&exclude=27,35,59,76,84,85

search.php?do=getdaily&contenttype=vBForum_Post&include=27,35,59,76,84,85

What's New also calls search.php and as far as I can tell, all three use THIS_SCRIPT=search. So how do I get the correct tab to highlight?

[Sleeter]

Love this mod. Thank you very much.

I am having two issues.

1. None of my "Tab Sub Links" are showing up under the nav bar.
2. The border on the bottom of the tab nav bar disappears when selecting on one of the custom tabs I made. It is there for all other tabs.
3. The tab font changes when rolled over with the mouse but the color of the tab does not change.

[civil78]

Excellent Mod... it's something that missing from new VB4 :)...

One suggestion, can you make it to support Localization... for example to take the name of menu from Languages & Phrases with the vbphrase varname.

For example like this...
111280

[Jhonnyf]

search.php?do=getdaily&contenttype=vBForum_Post&exclude=27,35,59,76,84,85

What's New also calls search.php and as far as I can tell, all three use THIS_SCRIPT=search. So how do I get the correct tab to highlight?

It's because both URL are change to search.php?searchid=ID_SEARCH and if you use THIS_SCRIPT both are always the same value, and you can't use URL because this is lost when return the results.

I will make that for the next minor update, select forum to highlight by forum

Superb Mod. Some minor issue, not important is that when I select "Menu Tabs" I get the list of all my Menu Tabs but for two of them it displays 2 times.. tabid 4 and tabid 7.. Both tabs are menu tabs. Other than that it's perfect..

Thank you!

[dancop]

For the Next Version
Thanks. So I'm loking forward to see your new version of the mod supporting localization and vbphrase varname. It will be a great addition to any multilingual site :)

[RK1gaming]

quick question ..

I have a chatroom we use on my forum I want to give it a tab but I want it to open up in a new window

this is what I would use in the past on the old nav bar

<td class="vbmenu_control"><!-- FLASHERIZE CODE BEGIN -->
<a href='javascript:void(0)' onclick='window.open("http://www.xxxxxxxxx.net/ChatRoom/ChatRoom_fixed.html","","height=407,width=650,status=1")'>Forum Chat</a><div style='z-index:99;position:absolute;visibility:hidden;displ ay:none;left:0;top:0'><a href='http://www.flasherize.com'><font size='1'>Flash Chat</font></a></div>
<!-- FLASHERIZE CODE END -->

How can I get this to work with this mod

thanks in advanced

[dieKetzer]

somebody please verify:
when disabling the default 'forum' link,
the default sublinks still appear when browsing the forum.
forum tab reappears on vbadvanced index, ispy, subscription*

*note that vba index, ispy, and subscription are all present in the menu using 'this_script'
i suppose a useful test is whether the forum tab is reappearing on pages that are linked to the menu itself, perhaps the use of 'this_script' being a factor.

[dieKetzer]

while attempting to override the above anomalous behaviour by manually creating a new forum tab (failed) i encountered this curiosity... despite selecting 'url' and entering a full url, the 'this_script' data is being inherited by an earlier tab!

image a is the settings used in the actual tab
image b is the result in the overview

[hohleweg]

Hi
Great hack but i dont want the the menue tilt up
picture 1

Better i have the new menue in the underline
picture 2

how can i make this?
Greetings Jo

[dieKetzer]

picture 1 is 'drop down' links
picture 2 is sub nav links.
either are an option.

if you want to add links as in picture 2, first do not select 'This Tab is a Menu' for the button 'rund ums forum'. then add each sublink through 'sub nav links', be sure to associate each sub link with a parent tab, 'rund ums forum' in your case.Hi
Great hack but i dont want the the menue tilt up

Greetings Jo

[hohleweg]

Hi
The first is ok
but i dont see the sub menue?
Whats wrong?
Jo

[dieKetzer]

the problem is in the second image.
- you will need to specify a page for 'rund ums forum'. if you do not, default sub nav links will load.
- you will need to set a 'this_script' for 'rund ums forum', or else the tab will not 'select', and the sub nav links will not appear.

for an experiement, try to link your rund tab to /subscription.php, and set the 'this_script' to subscription. you should see your rund tab select and your sub links appear.
for this tab type to function properly you need to link it to a proper page.

any thoughts --

[Jhonnyf]

My Hack not do that, you should be do using HTML or use a hook,

Sorry

[cloferba]

can i insert a link using variables...for example:

myblog.php-userid ?

[Jhonnyf]

Not in this version, maybe in future

[Fusion2]

there are some bugs with the sublinks that Jhonnyf is working on.
as far as linking to multiple cms categories and so on, he is also adding the option to select tabs via URL in addition to the this_script method, which should solve that dilemma.

That will be awesome because i want to use these tabs for CMS sections, with sublinks being the sub-sections, rather then have a left-side menu widget.

Do you know if this was fixed with the last revision?

[WNYorker]

i can't find a tab system that will highlight "Arcade" for my arcade page. Why is this so hard to do? Vbulletin should have this stuff by default.

[Fusion2]

Am i doing something wrong? I installed latest version but sublinks still dont show on sublink menu when i click tabs. Also tabs dont highlight when clicked.

[RK1gaming]

My Hack not do that, you should be do using HTML or use a hook,

Sorry


Ok here it the straight HTML to use

ok so when i use the straight:

<!-- FLASHERIZE CODE BEGIN -->
<a href='javascript:void(0)' onclick='window.open("http://www.rk1gaming.net/ChatRoom/ChatRoom_fixed.html","","height=407,width=650,status=1")'>Open Chat</a><div style='z-index:99;position:absolute;visibility:hidden;displ ay:none;left:0;top:0'><a href='http://www.flasherize.com'><font size='1'>Flash Chat</font></a></div>
<!-- FLASHERIZE CODE END -->

It breaks the mod .. and gives me a database error - so I have been taking some of the code to get it to work


So I used this

<a href='javascript:void(0)' onclick='window.open("http://www.rk1gaming.net/ChatRoom/ChatRoom_fixed.html","","height=407,width=650,status=1")

like this ( see screenshot )

So the tab works and fires up the external pop up with no issues but it also fires up another page with this link http://www.rk1gaming.net/forum/href= which gets a 404 error

any thoughts ..

[dieKetzer]

open the php file youre trying to link to and look for this line in the code:

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'blahblahblah');

insert the blahblahblah into the 'this_script' field (without the quote marks).
although not chiselled in stone, generally this_script is is the same as the script file name, so maybe try 'arcade'
i can't find a tab system that will highlight "Arcade" for my arcade page. Why is this so hard to do? Vbulletin should have this stuff by default.

[dieKetzer]

yes, this functionality is included in 2.03, although i have been experiencing an issue with multiple tabs being selected on occasion when using url_parameter. if your links dont use parameters (seo friendly/rewrite links) use url instead. i think certain links will always use parameters, but i have no cms to test with.

so try:
use an absolute url (http://blahblah/page.php?action=blah). relative urls will fail.
select 'url_parameter'
leave 'this_script' blank.That will be awesome because i want to use these tabs for CMS sections, with sublinks being the sub-sections, rather then have a left-side menu widget.

Do you know if this was fixed with the last revision?

[dieKetzer]

sublinks will never appear if the tab is not selected. sub links are dependant upon the tab being in a selected state.
once you manage to get the tab to select the sub links will function.Am i doing something wrong? I installed latest version but sublinks still dont show on sublink menu when i click tabs. Also tabs dont highlight when clicked.

[dieKetzer]

in a few hours i will try to see what can be done.Ok here it the straight HTML to use

I disabled home, blogs, forum and still nothing. I disabled sublinks from homepage and still nothing. I tried every combination i could use and nothing seems to work at getting sublinks to show, or tabs to get highlighted.

Simply put, I created several tabs that link to CMS sections. When the user clicks on these tabs it loads that CMS section without error. But, it does not display the sublinks that i created and associated to those tabs. These sublinks are url's that point to CMS sub-sections.

For example, I have a tab called "Travel" which points to my CMS Section called "Travel". I also have several sublinks called "Florida Travel", "Travel Companions" etc. Each of these sublinks points to a CMS sub-section under the Travel Section.

The two problems are that the Tab doesnt highlight when clicked on. And the sublinks dont show at all. All that shows was the default CMS Home sublinks.

Good guess, and it worked for me when I installed the 2.0.2 version of this mod the other day to run with the ibProArcade.

URL - arcade.php
THIS_SCRIPT - arcade
Target - _self

Works brilliantly, and now with 2.0.3 I can link a tab direct to a particular article with correct tab staying highlighted! Thanks Jhnnyf :D

[dieKetzer]

good work!
you have _blank set, and that makes it launch the extra window.
i also changed the url a little and this worked perfectly:
'javascript:void(0)' onclick='window.open("http://www.rk1gaming.net/ChatRoom/ChatRoom_fixed.html","","height=407,width=650,status=1")

jhonnyf will be pleased as punch to see this worked!So I used this

i also changed the url a little and this worked perfectly:
'javascript:void(0)' onclick='window.open("http://www.rk1gaming.net/ChatRoom/ChatRoom_fixed.html","","height=407,width=650,status=1")

jhonnyf will be pleased as punch to see this worked!

I voted for you Johnny. Thanks! Much more useful than the mod thats currently in the lead. ( no offense to him. ) you deserve to win.

I look forward to your next update with sub-forum and thread support! :)

Hello,

Firstly - Very nice mod, Extremely useful.

I am having a problem with the sub menu - the default links are showing up on every tab, even over the top of custom sub links.

The "Home" tab is set to "http://MY_FORUM_URL/index.php" which is my vBAdvanced CMPS index page. It is not set to be a drop-down menu, Tab mode is THIS_SCRIPT, and THIS_SCRIPT is "adv_index".

I have created 3 sub links "Link 1", "Link 2", "Link 3", all set to "http://google.com/" to demonstrate the problem.
As you can see in the attached screenshot, the custom sub links are underneath the default sub links.

Help would be appreciated.

Hello, love the mod but I have having a small issue.

I have a tab: "Gallery", and it points to www.uscoininfo.com/gallery

It works fine, but the tab does not update correctly.

If I do URL_PARAM http://www.uscoininfo.com/gallery, no other tabs will highlight correct.

If I do URL HTTP://WWW.USCOININFO.COM/GALLERY it works fine, but if I go to a gallery like: http://www.uscoininfo.com/gallery/showmembers.php?cat=500 it shows the activate tab as 'forum'.

Anyone have any ideas?

This works, but then if I go to any other tabs (Home, Forum, Blogs, Whats New?) the active tab will not change.

Will not change as in it stays with the "active background"?

I'm currently experiencing that.
Ideas?

GREAT MOD!

I'm not sure if this has already been mentioned, but this product caused a serious problem with my vb cms...it limited the amount of words I could put in any given article! I submitted a support ticket with vbulletin and they discovered that this mod was the cause. They switched off and the problem was rectified.

Any ideas why or how to fix it?

Hi

I installed this on my new site www.247gamers.net. When clicking on everything it highlights the tab correctly except the home tab. It does not highlight it and the last tab that was highlighted remains highlighted, what have I done wrong?

Cheers

I hope those of you who remove the link will at least support the developer by donating via Paypal. After all, he does not get paid for this and there are in fact inferior products out there that do this same thing and CHARGE for it. I bumped into one that wanted $30 PLUS $15 to remove the link to their page.

I think anybody who uses this should feel like a loser if they don't donate at least $10. I have donated that and I don't even use it yet! When I do (once it does what I need, which I hope is coming in the next release) I plan to donate another $20 or more. Not tooting my own horn but rather trying to inspire people around here to pay their way so these types of mods keep coming. Otherwise we might end up having to pay a lot more and get stuck with "branding" links on the bottom like somebody said for 500 pixels high! :)

find this_script for the gallery hack and use that if possibleThis works, but then if I go to any other tabs (Home, Forum, Blogs, Whats New?) the active tab will not change.

[dieKetzer]

a tab cannot select if you have not set this_script/url/url_parameter.It shows that the 'GALLERY' tab is active, when I'm really at the 'FORUM' tab, or any other tab.

youre using 'url'
use url_parameter, as youre using parameters (?3-Hardware)

It's even worst all the tabs are highlighted
