It seems like the reason it's not working is the navtabs are linking to CMS pages/sections, any idea what to use to get them selected?

I have tried the plugin (with variables filled in of course)

if (intval($_GET['r']) == xx) $root = 'tab_this_yyy';

hook location: set_navigation_tab_vbview

And it works to select them however does not maintain the custom background colors and puts a colored block over the navbar underneath (see comparison attachment - red outline)

I should mention that appending the tabid to the url in the navigation manager has the same result of the coloured block on active cms tabs
