[HOW TO - vB4] Create a New Tab in the navbar (with template)

I know that lynne allready postet an article, but here's a other way:

This tutorial will show you, how to add own links to your navbar.
(In the tutorial i'll use the code for my news add-on)

1. create a template (ragtek_news_navbar)

HTML Code:

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

<li class="selected">

    <a class="navtab" href="news.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase ragtek_news}</a>

<ul class="floatcontainer">

<li><a href="#">#</a></li>

</ul>

</li>

<vb:else />

<li><a class="navtab" href="news.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase ragtek_news}</a></li>

</vb:if>

2. Create a plugin at the hook process_templates_complete

PHP Code:


		
			
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'xxx')  // also defined('ragteknews') possible

{

//set selected tab

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

}

// add the "subtemplate" to the navbartemplate

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

As you see, i've defined "ragteknews" on my news.php page.If ragteknews is defined, $vbulletion->options['selectednavtab'] will be set to ragteknews.
Thats important because where using a condition in the template:

HTML Code:

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

Can I ask where do you place the plugin?

In truth I am getting a bit lost with this, why can't the CMS simply place links where you want them, I like subdreamer's way of doing this I think!

Sorry, strange that it's gone away. I've edited my post;)

And the hook is process_templates_complete

Thank you. I hope it. :)

Man this is awesome. When I am displaying the page I created the forums tab is still highlighted....am I missing something or did I forget to change something.....

Thanks for the help!

Which code? The plugin code?

Plugin and template code

Very cool and simple, thanks for this.

Plug In Code:

Code:

$tabselected = '';

$tablinks = '';

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'member_ranks')

{

    $vbulletin->options['Ranks']='unique_name';

    $tabselected = ' class="selected"';



} 

$template_hook['navtab_end'] .= '<li'.$tabselected.'><a class="navtab" href="ranks.php">Ranks</a>'.$tablinks.'</li>' ;

Template Code:

Code:

{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}" id="vbulletin_html">

  <head>

    <title>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</title>

    {vb:raw headinclude}

  </head>

  <body>

    

    {vb:raw header}

    

    {vb:raw navbar}

    

    <div id="pagetitle">

      <h1>{vb:raw pagetitle}</h1>

    </div>

    

    <h2 class="blockhead">=MK= Member Ranks</h2>

    <div class="blockbody">

      <div class="blockrow">



<div>

MY CUSTOM CODE WENT HERE ( Removed to save some space)

</div>



      </div>

    </div>

    

    {vb:raw footer}

  </body>

</html>
