[HOW TO - vB4] Remove the vB Default Navtabs

[HOW TO - vB4] Remove the vB Default Navtabs

Here is a quick article on how to remove some of the default vbulletin navtabs from the navbar template.

Removing the What's New navtab:

Find (near the top of the template):

Code:

<vb:if condition="!$vboptions['selectednavtab'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'search'">

Change to:

Code:

<vb:if condition="!$vboptions['selectednavtab']">

Find and Remove (about 2/3 down):

Code:

        <vb:if condition="!$vboptions['selectednavtab'] AND THIS_SCRIPT == 'search'">

            <vb:if condition="$show['member']">

            <li  class="selected"><a class="navtab" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getnew&amp;contenttype=vBForum_Post">{vb:rawphrase getnew_tab}</a>

...

a bunch more stuff inbetween to remove

...

            </li>

            </vb:if>

        <vb:elseif condition="$show['member']" />

            <li><a class="navtab" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getnew&amp;contenttype=vBForum_Post">{vb:rawphrase getnew_tab}</a></li>

        <vb:else />

            <li><a class="navtab" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getdaily&amp;contenttype=vBForum_Post">{vb:rawphrase getnew_tab}</a></li>

        </vb:if>

SAVE

In a default navbar template, after removing the chunk of code above, you should end up with this in the template where the code used to be:

Code:

        {vb:raw template_hook.navtab_middle}



        {vb:raw template_hook.navtab_end}

Removing the Home navtab:
Go to Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager > Product: vBulletin CMS > Navbar: Insert CMS Navbar Entry
Plugin is Active: NO
SAVE

Removing the Blogs navtab:
Go to Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager > Product: vBulletin Blog > Navbar: Eval Blog Link Template and Validate Styleid
Find and Remove (or comment out):

Code:

if (defined('VBBLOG_CACHED_TEMPLATES'))

{

    if (defined('VBBLOG_SCRIPT'))

    {

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

    }

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

        $template_hook['navbar_getnew_menu'] .= vB_Template::create('blog_navbar_whatsnew_link')->render();

    if ($show['blog_search'])

    {

        $template_hook['navbar_search_menu'] .= vB_Template::create('blog_navbar_search')->render();

    }

}

SAVE

Removing the Forum navtab:

Find and remove (starts near the very top):

Code:

        <vb:if condition="!$vboptions['selectednavtab'] AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'search'">

  ...

a bunch more stuff inbetween to remove

...

        <vb:else />

            <li><a class="navtab" href="{vb:link forumhome}">{vb:rawphrase forum}</a></li>

        </vb:if>

SAVE

Thanks Lynne. Can you tell me how to add Groups and Albums on the main nav bar?
:confused:

Help - it is not clear to me - which template I should be looking in to get rid of the What's new button.

As to my previous question - I got information from another article. Thanks.

Sorry, I didn't realize I had not put that in there! It is the navbar template you need to edit.

Is it possible to only show certain Navtabs to certain usergroups? for example I have Downloads Tab but only want UG 8 to be able to see the tab, by default right now my navbar is getting cluttered but not all groups need to be seeing all options.

Thanks in advance.

That is not present int he default style. So, you've changed some stylevar somewhere. You should use firebug to figure out what. It's not really the scope of this article though.

Sure you can put conditions around the tabs. There are articles here on how to write conditions for only certain usergroups and then you can apply that condition to your tab.

I don't see any product called "vBulletin CMS" either. I am not using Suite, just the Forum version if that makes any difference.

I'm sorry, but if you aren't using the Suite, you won't have a Home tab and therefore you don't need to remove it. So I don't understand why you guys are wondering about how to remove a tab that doesn't exist for you?

The Home and Blog tabs are only going to show if you have the Suite.

Is there a way I can deactivate the Forum?
Thanks...

Um, I have no idea. Remove the tab? Remove the pages? Create no forums? Experiment with it on your test site.

How would I remove the "Projects" tab from the Navbar? I want that only available through the User CP and on in the main navigation.

I believe that was already asked and answered in the forum specifically for questions regarding Open Source product.

OH.. I assure you I did do a search before posting the question.... just did another and nothing came up.. I will add some tags when I find it.

It's going to be hard to tag since there is no tagging in 3.6. :)

how to disable the link on the navbar?

This may be beyond the scope of this topic, but I'm searching for a way to completely remove the new "navtap" bar that contains the "Forum" and What's New" tabs and also the Search box.

I wish to completely eliminate the entire bar including its content. What would be a simple way to achieve it? Any ideas? Any links?

I'd like to remove my Forum tab and instead place a link to it in a drop down Forums tab. But...without a hand hold I don't know how to do so.

Hi, Lynne:

Great info! I hope you can help me take the programming changes to the navbar template one step further, by eliminating the entire second row of the navbar altogether.

That is, I want to turn this:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

into this:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

We already have an extensive website that the forum needs to fit into, so the second row just adds confusion to the site given the site's existing headers, search features, and so on.

Many thanks,
James

I would post this question in the main forums. You'll need to figure out what to do about the search box also which isn't showing in your mockup.

Tried this in 4.03, didn't like the replacement vb:if statement, some error about it being malformed :o.

I just did the second part with commenting out the large block of code, that did the trick, so now it's outta sight, outta mind ;).

Thanks for the tips Lynne :)

Trying this in vB 4.0.5 and I get this message at the end when trying to save.

adding child to non-existent node!

And it doesn't save. I did everything to the key but got that message.

If you got that message, then that means you removed the beginning <if> and not the ending </if> or vice versa.

Lynne, I get this message:

Quote:

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:
Could not find phrase 'else_not_child_of_if'.
This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

As i said I followed your instructions to the key. I am making no mistakes here.

Search for that at .com I think it is a bug. I came across it also. Just can't remember what I did to fix it. I think I had to stop saving css as files.

I just tested this again on my totally default vB4.0.5 navbar template and it was just fine for me.

FYI, on my test site, I have Store CSS Stylesheets as Files set to No.

Ok i see my error, when i saw this: "a bunch more stuff" I was thinking you meant to skip that stuff and move to the next bit.
