Change page selected tabs

[Shamil.]

Hi,

How do I change which tab is given the selected attribute in the navbar on a specific page?

Usually there is a condition written around it in the code. So, you'd have to modify the condition.

I can't seem to find the condition. I've used this to create a custom page:

That's the code to create a page. There is no code in that to make a tab to go along with it.

Is there a code to set the selected tab to Home instead of Forum?

You would have to edit the plugin that creates the Home tab and include the condition for that page in there.

Thanks Lynne, I can image that list getting slightly long :/

For custom pages? It doesn't have to be. Just define a variable (like they do THIS_SCRIPT) to be the same on each of your custom pages and use that for the condition.

I'm currently restructuring the navbar. I'm ending up with things like:

<vb:if condition="!$vboptions['selectednavtab'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'search' AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'usercp' AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'member' AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'showgroups' AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'memberlist'">

to start with.

Instead of:
<vb:if condition="!$vboptions['selectednavtab'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'search' AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'usercp' AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'member' AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'showgroups' AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'memberlist'">
use:
<vb:if condition="!$vboptions['selectednavtab'] AND !in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('search', 'usercp', 'member', 'showgroups', 'memberlist'))">
