Look at this mess, just to add a bit of navigation.

Actually, all of this is unnecessary in vB4.2 (as I state in the first post) because there is now the Navigation Manager.

I'm using the plugin method to add tabs to specific forums. I would like to apply the SELECTED class when displaying that class, but I'm not sure what criteria to use. Isn't THIS_SCRIPT always going to forum for those pages?
We're sticking with 4.1 since we've got a lot of modifications to the navigation and we will have to rebuild for 4.2.
With any luck, we can skip 4.2 and go straight to 5 when it's stable. :)

For forums, you can probably use $GLOBALS['forumid'] in the condition.

is there a way to create a tab (that stays in the same forum) just so that it can be used for navigation purposes to links, the reason for this is because i have static pages on the same domain and i don't want to add all the links to them under the forum tab,( by creating a sub menu) instead i want the tabs to act like sub menu's

to elaborate more, i tried creating a tab, (lets call it my links). and in this tab i want a sub menu with links to pointed pages lets say a link is pointing to mydomain.com/mypage.htm

the problem i have here is when i create a tab and have it pointing to (nothing) and click on it the page gets redirected to forum tab again... i dont want this to happen i want the tab to act like a navagation menu while at the same time staying in the forum... and all the sub menus and links show up under this tab

This article is about PROFILE tabs, not navigation tabs.

I'm sure there is a way to do what you want, but this is not an article about doing it that way. You would need to play with the plugin code and modify it to get what you want.

OK, now I'm the idiot :) Why exactly was I absolutely sure I was in my profile tab article? :D

Sorry ;)

Thank you

Quick question. I know the userinfo and options variables are present and usuable in the link portion of the navigation manager and can define other variables there.

Is there a way define a dynamic variable that can be used in the title portion of the vb navigation manager.

I am assuming I will have to ditch the straight xml navigation links I do now and use this method of it being in a plugin.

I would guess you could? It's hard to get more specific when I don't have a more concrete example of what you want to do.

what I meant by design was say I want to have a dynamic link title. Right now I use straight navigation links in an xml file. I can define options through plugins to plug into urls for the navigation.

What I am needing is a dynamic title.

Say for instance take the PM indicator no messages 1 message 2 messages. I am looking to do a title like that on a submenu item.

It is no big deal.

Based on what I know I am going to have to ditch the straight way of doing links and do more like this thread plugin way that way I have total control over the variables and can define a variable title on a sublink title. ;)

I do have one question though on your way of doing things. How to you set show permissions doing a navbar your way.

If you want a dynamic title, then yes, you will need to use a plugin.

As for $show permissions, just do a search on this thread because that has been covered a few times.

Can I create a Quick Link to go to a specified custom usergroup? v 4.1.3

How do you create a link to a usergroup? I don't understand exactly what you want at all. If you are talking about a link showing for only a certain usergroup, then that has been covered many times in this thread.

See posts below.

What version of vB are you running?

Ah sorry, 4.1.10

In order to make more than one tab, I'm assuming I have to make separate plugins. If so, how do I go about ordering them if they're all placed at the end? Is it just automatically ordered alphabetically according to the slot they're placed in (i.e. _start, _middle, _end)?

Also, how do I define the subnav I want showing when I navigate to a separate page? For example, I have created the 'Members' tab and one of the subnav items is 'Competitive Rosters - Dota 2' -- if I click that page, the subnav links change to show the Forum subnav (e.g. New Posts, Calendar, Community, Private Messages). See www.parallaxgaming.com.

Running 4.1.10 -- not looking to update to newer version.

You can add all the tabs to the same plugin and put them in the order you want.

As for making them highlight when you click on them, that is done in the plugin (the $tabselected part - unless you have modified the CSS on your site, then it may not work).

how do i add fb group in navbar

If you are running 4.2.2, the you would use Settings > Navigation Manager to add any tabs. You would not use the plugin method in this article.

navtab_middle isn't working for me. Nothing shows up when I change from navtab_end to navtab_middle. navtab_end works though. I want to add this link in the middle of the nav menu next to the Forum link.

What do I need to do to troubleshoot this?

Thanks.

Did you disable all mods, then test it? I have a mod that disables mine from working properly.

Do you have the same issue in the vb default style?
