- How to add links

To add Links in navbar you should first know some information about navbar and navtabs

some phrase like :

{vb:raw template_hook.navtab_start}
{vb:raw template_hook.navtab_middle}{vb:raw template_hook.navtab_end}

Q:What does this phrases mean?

A: First Phrase {vb:raw template_hook.navtab_start}, is the start of navtabs. Befor This Phrase means that you link would appear always the first one and the ones you put after this phrase due to how you put the links in order would be sortet in navtabs .
Any Links you put in order after {vb:raw template_hook.navtab_start} untill this phrase would be shown as you did : {vb:raw template_hook.navtab_middle} , And after this phrase like the start any links after this would be sorted as middle of navtabs, so you can have separator between items you want to add betweens.
And if you want to add a link at the end of navtabs you should find this phrase {vb:raw template_hook.navtab_end} and add you link before this phrase.

e.g :
-For Navbar menu - Sub Menu

Each Navtab link can contains submenu which calles navbar and popup menu

for navbar (under navtabs) items you should use this :

Notice : to add this in navtabs sub menu, you should add this before <vb:else> Please follow the example


and for navbar child menu you can use this as popup menu :


e.g :

Navtab + Navbar + Popup menu
-For Image Navtabs :

First of all you need to edit your css file and Stylevar (navbar) to set your desired setting and then You should replace text with this tag in navbar template:
<img src="link">

like :

Code:

---

 
  <vb:if condition="!$vboptions['selectednavtab'] AND THIS_SCRIPT !=  'search'">
              <li class="selected"><a class="navtab" href=" Link

---

thanksssssssssss

This should be in Template Modifications...

Thanks for the nice mod. I wish there was a way all the edits could run automatically.

I think we have moderators who meant to tell us that ...

Sry i've not got mastered enough to make it as a Hack. But i will try my best.

Hi SoltanWorld, thanks for this great mod. I'm trying to do almost exactly what you're doing, so this is a great start. A question I have for you is, how do you customize the navbar below the navtab? For example, in your website:

http://www.soltanworld.com/forum/forum.php has "Today's Posts", "FAQ", "Calendar", etc. under the navtab images.
http://www.soltanworld.com/forum/xperience.php has nothing under the navtab images.
http://www.soltanworld.com/forum/local_links.php has "Categories", "Show" & "Search" under the navtab images.

How do I do this? I was looking at another similar thread but so far haven't been able to figure out a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks dear,I think this would works :

but when i check the original code of navbar template, it contains some raw like

{vb:raw template_hook.navbar_after_faq}
{vb:raw template_hook.navbar_after_pm}

and i think for popup menu it would work too

This is nice, but how do I get the navbar to display "selected" when I'm actually on that page.

For example, I added a navbar link "Gallery" that links to my photopost. When I click on the link it takes me to /photopost but the Forum link in the navbar is the one still selected.

you can use this code
