How can I make my new tab appear first in the list? Using 'navtab_start' makes it the second tab but not the first.
Play with the Execution Order of the plugin.

The target="_blank" doesn't work to open a new browser window, at least not at my site:

Shout Street Click on 'Zip Code Maps'
From the source code of your page:
HTML Code:
<li><a class="navtab" href="http://www.usnaviguide.com/">Zip Codes Map</a></li>
The target="_blank" is not present.

If you are trying to make a tab that links to an already established page such as "content.php?139-blog", I found a solution:

First modify your plugin to include the end piece of your url in this case "/content.php?139-blog". This will enable your tab to be highlighted.
PHP Code:
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'vbcms' && $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/content.php?139-blog') 
Next you want to make it so the new tab is the only selected so go to plugin manager and edit "Navbar: Insert CMS Navbar Entry".

Change this:
PHP Code:
if (defined('CMS_SCRIPT') AND class_exists('vBCms_Navbar')) 
To This (except fill in your page name):
PHP Code:
if (defined('CMS_SCRIPT') AND class_exists('vBCms_Navbar') AND $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] != '/content.php?139-blog') 
Viola!

Of course both will highlight - the THIS_SCRIPT constant condition is true for the normal CMS tab, too. You need to edit the CMS tab condition to not highlight.

I was too lazy to do a view source.

Thank you for this writeup Lynne, I used a modified version of it to add a "Home" tab to my forum.

First let me say, great mod.

I have gotten the tab to work but I would like to resolve one issue if I can.

When I click on the tab it brings me to my gallery and the proper tab gets highlighted and stays highlighted. But when I click on the link under the tab "New in last day" then it opens in the gallery again like it is suppose to but it defaults to the "What's New" tab.

I would like it to stay in the Gallery Tab that I created and stay highlighted. Is there a way to do this?

Here is my code and the sample navbar image.

PHP Code:
$tabselected = ''; 
$tablinks = ''; 
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'ppindex') 
{ 
    $vbulletin->options['selectednavtab']='unique_name'; 
    $tabselected = ' class="selected"'; 
    $tablinks = '                <ul class="floatcontainer"> 
                    <li><a href="../gallery/search.php?when=1&whenterm=d&cat=all">New in last day</a></li> 
                    <li><a href="../gallery/search.php?when=1&whenterm=w&cat=all">New in last 7 days</a></li> 
                    <li><a href="../gallery/search.php?when=2&whenterm=w&cat=all">New in last 14 days</a></li>
                </ul> '; 

}  
$template_hook['navtab_end'] .= '<li'.$tabselected.'><a class="navtab" href="../gallery">Test Tab</a>'.$tablinks.'</li>' ;

New in Last Day is a search? So, the condition for highlighting the search page are being met. You will need to rewrite the condition to highlight the search page to say "but not when doing New in Last Day" and then rewrite the gallery one to include "when doing New in Last Day".

What you will be making is a plugin to create the Nav Link along with a submenu which Link 1, Link 2, Link 3, and Drop Down which then drops down and has SubLink 1, SubLink 2, and SubLink 3. This is shown below.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...3&d=1258146126


This article is NOT to be used just to add another link to a submenu. It is for creating the Nav Link tab along with all the submenus. Again, if all you want is to add submenus to an existing tab, then this article is NOT for you!!!

This article is also for use by users who understand the basics of conditions and can write them. The navbar is not really an easy thing to play with if you don't know what you are doing - I think even Wayne said it had issues - so don't try this if you don't understand how to write a condition.

OK, with that out of the way....

Here's the basic template for making your new tab:

Create a plugin (Plugins & Products) > Add New Plugin:
hook location - process_templates_complete *
Title - New Tab for Navbar
Execution Order - 5
(* I used to have this listed as global_state_check but then noticed vb themselves use the process_templates_complete hook location, so I changed it.)

PHP Code:
$tabselected = '';
$tablinks = '';
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'yourpage')
{
    $vbulletin->options['selectednavtab']='unique_name';
    $tabselected = ' class="selected"';
    $tablinks = '                <ul class="floatcontainer">
                        <li><a href="link1.php">Link 1</a></li>
                            <li class="popupmenu">
                                <a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl">Drop Down</a>
                                <ul class="popupbody popuphover">
                                        <li><a href="sublink1.php">SubLink 1</a></li>
                                        <li><a href="sublink2.php">SubLink 2</a></li>
                                        <li><a href="sublink3.php">SubLink 3</a></li>
                                </ul>
                            </li>
                        <li><a href="link2.php">Link 2</a></li>
                        <li><a href="link3.php">Link 3</a></li>
                </ul> ';

} 
$template_hook['navtab_end'] .= '<li'.$tabselected.'><a class="navtab" href="link.php">Nav Link</a>'.$tablinks.'</li>' ; 
Things to take note of:

PHP Code:
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'yourpage') 
Your condition MUST be unique! If you use a condition that is also going to evaluate to true for another tab, then they will both be highlighted and the wrong submenu may show up underneath.

PHP Code:
$vbulletin->options['selectednavtab']='unique_name'; 
The 'seletednavtab' must also be a unique name. Again, if you have two tabs with the same 'selectednavtab' name, then both tabs will be highlighted.

PHP Code:
$template_hook['navtab_end'] .= '<li'.$tabselected.'><a class="navtab" href="link.php">Nav Link</a>'.$tablinks.'</li>' ; 
You may use a different template_hook here - it just depends on where you want your tab to be - navtab_start and navtab_middle are also available.


ragtek also posted an article to do the same thing only using a template with the plugin - [HOW TO - vB4] Create a New Tab in the navbar (with template)
