This mod allows you to easily add and remove 10 custom pages with their tabs on the navigation bar. The Tab is "selected" when it is clicked and automatically deselecting the other tabs. For custom pages you just need to enter their titles and content. A tutorial on how to create a custom page with navtab is included at the bottom of this thread.

[singh9211]

[almannai]

can you please upgrade it to allow multiple custom pages..........

It has already multiple custom pages!!! Why you don't install it and try it??

Or do you mean you need more than 3 custom pages? It can be updated to any number but I thought 3 custom pages are more than enough..

[whitedd]

Every site may need different amounts!

If you mean browser title it is same as custom page title option
If you mean multi_custom_page.php it will not change only its parametars

[Keysailor]

This is great, thanks! Is it possible to have these tabs placed where I want them (all the way to the left) so that they come first, before the vB Home, Forum, Blogs & What's New navtabs?

Rating this 5 stars and thanks!

Nice Mod!:)

Hello :)

After creating a Custom Page with a NavTab...........

Is there a way to manually change the URL of the NavTab, so it points to somewhere else?

I'm trying to make one of the Tabs go to a CMS section, instead of a Custom Page.

I figure it can't be that difficult.. if I could find where this mod hard codes the links :confused:

Anyway, I'd just need to swap out /custompage.php for /content.php?1-News (for example).

Any help appreciated!

Thanks

----------------------

P.S. After I add a tab and click it.. it auto logs me out =(

Only happens with multi_custom_page.php? tabs

you could do it from by editing multi_custom_page.php

find
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'multi_custom_page'.$scrpt);

after it add
if($scrpt==10)
header('Location: http://www.example.com/forum/content.php?1-News');Now custom page 10 will point to that url


Hello :)

That was fixed in 1.0.1 but if you didb't replace old multi_custom_page.php with new one this will happen.Best to un-install old version and instaal new one and replace multi_custom_page.php

[timm525]

Excellent Mod Thanks!!!

A few questions.

1. I entered in the "First Custom Page Title" What will be shown on top of your browser. However I edited it so that the font would show up larger in the title page. See here:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/08/93.png

Larger font in the title.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/08/94.png

Question: How do I get the html code off the tab that is shown in the browser and just have it show up as the page title?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/08/95.png

Next question:

How do I get these navi tabs to be all on one line instead of two? Just like Forum, Blogs, Donate, Glossary (all on one line)?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/08/96.png

Last question:

How would I make this a stand alone page so that my members go to this page first (when clicking on my url) then click on the "enter forum" html button I have at the bottom of the page that redirect them to my forum after reading my welcome message? I would also want to remove all the other navi bar links so that they have to click on the "enter forum" html button I have at the bottom without being able to go anywheres else?

Thanks,

Love the mod! :up:

Sorry for the response delay

1. You can't put html tags there

2. I think that should not happen in the default settings/style

3.You need a custom mod for that

[Mirr0r]

Hi,

Great Mod!!

Any chance for a future update you could make it so only certain usergroups could access certain custom pages?

Cheers.

There must be something wrong with your browser cache.

Well, I just thought the explanation is clear enough. I've attached a screenshot. It shows the right link, but the location is listed as unknown. Is there a way to change the location to show a Page title or Navbar title instead?

It's not a big deal, the mod is really great, this would just make it more complete. :)

It is not as simple as you think it needs re-coding

[Ichigo88]

ok thanks then I still try:)

Thanks for this one, it made my day a better day :)

[danhaga]

Is there a way to make these pages usergroup restricted. Or at least only make the buttons visible to certain usergroups?

[marccap]

maybe simple for some but how do I add an external webiste link for one of the tabs - eg you press the tab and you go to another website.

Ive tried something like <a href="www.examplewebsite.apx"></a> I didnt think that would work lol

Any clues?

[Konsolenheld]

If i change to a Auto build multi custom page in the navigation, the selected background (blue background) for Tabs is on community Tab and on multi custom page. I use 4.2.0. It?s confuse. If i click on community Tab, it?s all right. Can you fix it? Sorry for my bad english!

Sample:
normal Tab:

Addon Tab:

[Konsolenheld]

Mh, no idea? I want to launch my community on August 30th. :(

[fxdigi-cash]

Thanks for this great mod! works great on vb.4.2.1

I believe it is not necessary to add navtab title button in the mod options. you can activate that first time to know the link url the disable the title and create your own... :)

Thanks

[craigvm]

just installed but dont do anything for me as there is no settings showing:confused:

[Morrus]

Hmm. HTML not fully enabled? Lists and bullet points don't work.

[mort2412]

Works perfect on 4.2.2

[DemOnstar]

Seems to work and hold the style also...
Only one thing that bothers me...

http://www.mysite.com/multi_custom_page.php?ab_s=1

How is this link changed to reflect the name of the page?
In the settings we have this option - What will be shown on top of your browser.

I filled it in with what should be on the top of the browser but still gets the multi_custom_page.php?ab_s=1

Otherwise, it appears to be flawless....

Thanks all...

[codysterling]

Almannai,

I just downloaded your Auto Multi Custom Pages mod, which is great by the way. But before I purchase the license free version I need help with one problem. When I select the newly created Nav tab the previously selected nav tab remains selected... can you help me with this.

I have the same issue too...
I am sure it is a small problem to tackle...

The mod is a very good addition for those of us that know very little on the subject of PHP or HTML.
Great idea..........

EDIT: It isn't the previously selected tab, it just defaults to highlighting the forums tab and the new page tab simultaneously.
