Do a search in this thread for "is_member_of" because that is what you would use in the condition and I know this has been covered before in this thread.

Can somebody tell me what is wrong with my code? I keep getting a syntax error and cannot seem to see where I made an error..

Code:

if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1))

{

$tabselected = '';

$tablinks = '';

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'spyikereg')

{

    $vbulletin->options['selectednavtab']='spyreg';

    $tabselected = ' class="selected"';

} 

$template_hook['navtab_middle'] .= '<li'.$tabselected.'><a class="navtab" href="http://spyike.org/register.php">Register</a>'.$tablinks.'</li>' ;

You forgot the ending } to your is_member_of condition. :)

1. Why don't you give the exact error message instead if making us search & guess?
2. Use indenting to make your code more readable.
3. You're missing a closing curly bracket at the end, that's for sure.

// Edit: Lynne beat me to it :D

Your code should look like:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1))
{
    $tabselected = '';
    $tablinks = '';

    if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'spyikereg')
    {
        $vbulletin->options['selectednavtab']='spyreg';
        $tabselected = ' class="selected"';
    } 

    $template_hook['navtab_middle'] .= '<li'.$tabselected.'><a class="navtab" href="http://spyike.org/register.php">Register</a>'.$tablinks.'</li>' ;
}

It belongs at the very, very end. It should be your last line in the plugin.

If I wanted to have the Sublink drop downs directly from the original tab, rather than Tab > Link > Sublink, would I simply delete the lists and leave the unordered lists?

Thanks

There is another article about how to make the navtabs dropdowns themselves. You should be able to find it in this forum.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=232579 only applies to the Sublink drop downs as does https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=232579

Just in case, if someone only wants to add a tab, here is the modified code:

PHP Code:


		
			
$tabselected = '';
$tablinks = '';
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'chat')
{
    $vbulletin->options['selectednavtab']='chat';
    $tabselected = ' class="selected"';
} 
$template_hook['navtab_end'] .= '<li'.$tabselected.'><a class="navtab" href="chat.php">Chat</a>'.$tablinks.'</li>' ;

Replace:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'chat')

and

PHP Code:


		
			
$vbulletin->options['selectednavtab']='chat';

With some unique name.

If possible, could I get some personal assistance in getting this to work on my forum?

I would try some products, but I'm concerned about the developers bailing out, and figure it would be beneficial just to see how it's done "manually".

Hi, I have 2 questions please

1. If I need to create more than 1 tab, would I have to keep adding this blugin for each tab, if not so how can i use it for more than 1 tab?

2. I need to make 3 different forums ( already Exit), each will have own tab in the navbar, can I do that with this blugin, how?

I am new with coding and if you please give me a step by step instructions.

Thanks:confused:

Lynne

08-15-2011 11:33 PM

1. You may add the plugin code several times into the same plugin and just change the condition for each.

2. Just add a unique condition for each.

Lynne & wowautoauctions: THANKS a LOT !!!

It works excelent for sub-forum with proper highlighting!

Code:

$tabselected = '';

$tablinks = '';

if ($GLOBALS['forumid'] == 222)

{

    $vbulletin->options['selectednavtab']='SOMETHING';

    $tabselected = ' class="selected"';

} 

$template_hook['navtab_middle'] .= '<li'.$tabselected.'><a class="navtab" href="http://yoursite/forumdisplay.php/222-Blablabla">SOMETHING</a>'.$tablinks.'</li>' ;

Anyway, one more thing...

Now i have navbar like this:

CMS_FORUM_BLOGS_AAA_BBB_CCC_WHATSNEW

and i would like to have it like this:

CMS_FORUM_AAA_BBB_CCC_BLOGS_WHATSNEW

How to "move" that "BLOG" to the right?

Thanks!

There are template_hooks in the navbar that are being used to place the navtabs. If you want to move a tab, then find the template hook you want to use and change the existing one (in this case it is a plugin in the blog product) to use the new one.

HolyKiller

08-17-2011 11:12 PM

Ha, i found it under "Navbar: Eval Blog Link Template and Validate Styleid" so i changed:

$template_hook['navtab_middle'] .= vB_Template::create('blog_navbar_link')->render();
to
$template_hook['navtab_end'] .= vB_Template::create('blog_navbar_link')->render();

But now it is like

CMS_FORUM_AAA_BBB_CCC_WHATSNEW_BLOGS

so i would like to change BLOG<->WHATSNEW ... like this

CMS_FORUM_AAA_BBB_CCC_BLOGS_WHATSNEW
(My previouws post was wrong, i already fixed it)

And i cant see any hook for WhatsNew ... i guess, i need to digg it somewhere else :D

EDIT: WoW Lynne you so fast, i did not saw your reply, thanks!

EDIT2: Solved! My script had "Execution Order" set to "15" and that Blog one was "6", so i set "5" for my script and set Blog back to "middle", which isi "Execution Order: 6" ... and VOALA :)

It is possible to change order? Standard order is at the end.. but I want to have it before Home link, blog link and forum link.. It is possible?

As I stated in the first post, there are other template_hooks you can use - navtab_start, navtab_middle, and navtab_end. And then you could change the execution order also if two navtabs use the same template_hook and you want them in a different order.

Quick question Lynn,

my site: www.droid-tech.com.

I want to add a tab,"Friends of Droid Tech", with a submenu of our friends links. What would I need to add in the if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'yourpage').

Would it be "Droid Tech Friends"? or my forums page?

Can you add a submenu with that? I thought you said I couldn't?

All I am looking to do is add a tab in the navbar, labeled "friends" with sub links to friends sites.

Can anyone give me a quick hand here?

Lynne

11-02-2011 04:25 PM

The "Friends" tab needs to link to a page. When someone clicks on it, what page does it take them to? I can't help until you answer that question.

So, the actual tab needs to link somewhere first? Even if I just want the tab with a submenu with links?

Yes. There is another article on making the navtab an actual dropdown. Perhaps that would be better for you. (it's an article in this same forum, I'm sure you can find it.)

Thank you Lynne, it really helped me, i created an "ibproarcade" tab using (THIS_SCRIPT == 'arcade') as it's mensioned in arcade.php file, and i created 2 other tabs with no "if" for non VB pages

Here is what I have:

PHP Code:


		
			
$tabselected = '';
$tablinks = '';
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'home')
{
    $vbulletin->options['selectednavtab']='home';
    $tabselected = ' class="selected"';
} 
$template_hook['navtab_start'] .= '<li'.$tabselected.'><a class="navtab" href="http://www.egcglobal.com">Home</a>'.$tablinks.'</li>' ;

The tab itself shows up on all my pages, even my vBa main page, but I still cannot for the life of me figure out how to have the "Home" button be highlighted when it is selected.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/11/60.jpg

If I click on it, it takes me to my main vBa portal page (www.egcglobal.com) but it is the "Forum" button that stays highlighted.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

[SOLUTION BELOW]

Ok, so for anyone else who may be having the same issue as I was, if you are running vBa and want a "home" button, your plugin should look like below. Just remember to change the URL to your main page.

PHP Code:


		
			
$tabselected = '';
$tablinks = '';
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'adv_index')
{
    $vbulletin->options['selectednavtab']='Home';
    $tabselected = ' class="selected"';

} 
$template_hook['navtab_start'] .= '<li'.$tabselected.'><a class="navtab" href="http://www.egcglobal.com">Home</a>'.$tablinks.'</li>' ;

Thanks again to both Hippy & PankajKumar for helping me out and to Lynn for starting me on this quest : )

Hippy

11-06-2011 12:48 PM

loook in the file and search for THIS_SCRIPT
and see what it says then add it to the admincp option where you added the new tab

if it's vbadvanced it should look like this
THIS_SCRIPT == 'adv_index'

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'adv_index');

I did that and it worked smooth. And I figured it out why it was happening. Just in case someone else is facing this problem, its defined in the vbadvanced php file, similar things can happen if used with other php files. Just a Tip.

Thanks again.

You Rock. Thanks. This fixed my problem with the "Forum" button staying highlighted.:D

Please help. This worked very well and I got the new tab set up but for some reason it will only let me have six links. When I add the seventh link the page goes haywire! Any ideas?

Thanks

Lynne

11-19-2011 03:01 PM

Sure, don't have more than six tabs! There is just not that much room to have a ton of tabs there. Consider a dropdown tab instead (different article).

All times are GMT. The time now is 06:14 PM.
