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.
