-   -   [HOW TO - vB4] Create a New Tab in the navbar (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=226914)

I don't know if it would be easier to manage. On my site, I only want to add one or two more tabs and so it's no problem for me to do it the way everything is currently set up. I find it pretty simple the way it is, so I've never looked into an 'easier' method.

Now that I've gone through all of the work, I hope this helps someone on here. A while back, I created two new tabs (Home and Groups) over at http://www.drzforums.com, and just replicated the navlinks from the Forums navtab. The result was a set of broken links for visitors, since some of the navlinks require registration.

Today, I converted the navlinks conditional statements from the vB-specific HTML found in navheader, into the PHP required for a plug-in. Here is the plug-in code for my Groups tab:

PHP Code:

$tabselected '';
$tablinks '';
if (
THIS_SCRIPT == 'group')
{
    
$vbulletin->options['selectednavtab']='navtablabel_groups';
    
$tabselected ' class="selected"';
    
$tablinks '<ul class="floatcontainer">'.$template_hook['navbar_start'];

    if (
$show['searchbuttons']) {
        if (
$show['member'])
            
$tablinks .= '<li><a href="search.php?'.$session['sessionurl'].'do=getnew&amp;contenttype=vBForum_Post">'.$vbphrase['new_posts_nav'].'</a></li>';
        else
            
$tablinks .= '<li><a href="search.php?'.$session['sessionurl'].'do=getdaily&amp;contenttype=vBForum_Post">'.$vbphrase['todays_posts'].'</a></li>';
    }

    
$tablinks .= $template_hook['navbar_after_getnew'];

    if (
$show['pmmainlink'])
        
$tablinks .= '<li><a href="private.php'.$session['sessionurl_q'].'" rel="nofollow">'.$vbphrase['private_messages'].'</a></li>';

    
$tablinks .= $template_hook['navbar_after_pm'].'<li><a rel="help" href="faq.php'.$session['sessionurl_q'].'" accesskey="5">'.$vbphrase['faq'].'</a></li>'.$template_hook['navbar_after_faq'].'<li><a href="calendar.php'.$session['sessionurl_q'].'">'.$vbphrase['calendar'].'</a></li>'.$template_hook['navbar_after_calendar'].'<li class="popupmenu"><a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl" accesskey="6">'.$vbphrase['community'].'</a><ul class="popupbody popuphover">'.$template_hook['navbar_community_menu_start'];

    if (
$show['quick_links_groups'])
        
$tablinks .= '<li><a href="group.php'.$session['sessionurl_q'].'">'.$vbphrase['social_groups'].'</a></li>';

    if (
$show['quick_links_albums'])
        
$tablinks .= '<li><a href="album.php'.$session['sessionurl_q'].'">'.$vbphrase['pictures_and_albums'].'</a></li>';

    if (
$bbuserinfo['userid']) {
        
$tablinks .= '<li><a href="profile.php?'.$session['sessionurl'].'do=buddylist">';

        if (
$show['friends_and_contacts'])
            
$tablinks .= $vbphrase['contacts_and_friends'];
        else
            
$tablinks .= $vbphrase['contacts'];

        
$tablinks .= '</a></li>';
    }

    if (
$show['memberslist'])
        
$tablinks .= '<li><a href="memberlist.php'.$session['sessionurl_q'].'">'.$vbphrase['members_list'].'</a></li>';

    
$tablinks .= $template_hook['navbar_community_menu_end'].'</ul></li>'.$template_hook['navbar_after_community'].'<li class="popupmenu"><a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl">'.$vbphrase['forum_actions'].'</a><ul class="popupbody popuphover"><li><a href="forumdisplay.php?'.$session['sessionurl'].'do=markread">'.$vbphrase['mark_forums_read'].'</a></li>';

    if (
$show['member'])
        
$tablinks .= '<li><a href="profile.php?'.$session['sessionurl'].'do=editoptions">'.$vbphrase['edit_options'].'</a></li><li><a href="profile.php?'.$session['sessionurl'].'do=editprofile">'.$vbphrase['edit_your_details'].'</a></li>';

    
$tablinks .= '</ul></li><li class="popupmenu"><a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl" accesskey="3">'.$vbphrase['quick_links'].'</a><ul class="popupbody popuphover">';

    if (
$show['member']) {

        if (
$show['member'])
            
$tablinks .= '<li><a href="subscription.php'.$session['sessionurl_q'].'" rel="nofollow">'.$vbphrase['subscribed_threads'].'</a></li>';

        
$tablinks .= '<li><a href="javascript://" onclick="window.open(getBaseUrl() + \'misc.php?'.$session['sessionurl'].'do=buddylist&amp;focus=1\',\'buddylist\',\'statusbar=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=250,height=300\'); return false;">'.$vbphrase['open_contacts'].'</a></li>';

        if (
$vboptions['forumleaders']) {
            
$tablinks .= '<li><a href="showgroups.php'.$session['sessionurl_q'].'" rel="nofollow">';

            if (
$vb_suite_installed)
                
$tablinks .= $vbphrase['view_site_leaders'];
            else
                
$tablinks .= $vbphrase['view_forum_leaders'];

            
$tablinks .= '</a></li>';

        }

    }

    
$tablinks .= $template_hook['navbar_quick_links_menu_pos1'].$template_hook['navbar_quick_links_menu_pos2'].$template_hook['navbar_quick_links_menu_pos3'];

    if (
$show['wollink'])
        
$tablinks .= '<li><a href="online.php'.$session['sessionurl_q'].'">'.$vbphrase['whos_online'].'</a></li>';

    
$tablinks .= $template_hook['navbar_quick_links_menu_pos4'].'</ul></li>'.$template_hook['navbar_end'].'</ul></li>';


$template_hook['navtab_middle'] .= '<li'.$tabselected.'><a class="navtab" href="group.php">Groups</a>'.$tablinks.'</li>' 

Enjoy! :cool:

how do you check permissions at that hook?

$cando = $permissions['myproduct'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['myproduct']['cando'] ? true : false;

is not doing anything.

edit ... found answer in blogs

Thanks. Using this for one of my subforums (kind of like the tabs here at vB.org). However, instead of forumdisplay.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}2-Main-Forum I would like to generate 2-Main-Forum using the vBulletin link generator so it takes the current rewrite rules into consideration. Any ideas how I would do that?

Lynne can this be used to make a simple navtab with out the drop down and sub links in the lower navbar ?

thanks

I would guess you could leave the submenu (and thus dropdown) out of it.

I cannot seem to get the plugin to accept a userid in the menu. I'm probably overlooking something obvious, but here's my code:

Code:

$tablinks .= '<li><a href="tracker.php?'. $session['sessionurl'] . '&do=search&userid=' .
$bbuserinfo['userid'] . '">

In the page defined in the plugin (tracker), I do have the line to include the vB stuff:

Code:

require_once('./global.php');
I tried putting an if ($bbuserinfo[userid]) block around the statement above, but that doesn't show any links. I even tried adding a $vbulletin->bbuserinfo in front of it, but again, no luck.

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong or overlooking?

Thanks :)

Lynne 06-04-2010 05:12 PM

Try

Code:

$tablinks .= '<li><a href="tracker.php?'. $session['sessionurl'] . '&do=search&userid=' .$vbulletin->userinfo[userid]. '">

You are wise in the ways of plugins, Lynne :D Much obliged :hattip:
