I then use vb:each in the template to have it build the menu with the days links:

Posts for Last 7 Days
Posts for Last 14 Days
Posts for Last 30 Days
Posts for Last 120 Days
Posts for Last 180 Days

You can't do that in the Navigation Manager so I need to be able to add that sub-link where the New Posts link (below the navtabs) is now. Without the template hooks, I'm screwed.

Like this?



1) Add a menu to the forum tab.
2) Add links to the menu.

In the example shown I didn't disable the original New Posts link.. you might want to do that too.

You can do this manually, in the install file for your mod, in a php file, in a plugin using the database, or I'm pretty sure dynamically in a plugin.

I'm using the database method for items that don't change frequently. The best place I've found for something that comes from a settings page is to use the admin_options_processing hook and add/modify the navigation items in the database.
