Navbar: Mark new tab as selected?

[anarx]

Hello!

I just added an extra tab (Link to Forumrules "Regeln") to the navbar.
--> See attachment.

Everything works fine, but I don't know how to mark the tab as "selected" as soon as I visit the Link (Rules Tab).
I tried this but it did not work:

This is the interesting part which does not work:

		<vb:elseif condition="$post['threadid'] == 7830"/>
			<li class=selected"><a class="navtab" href="showthread.php?7830-Regeln">Regeln</a></li>

edited part of my navbar:

		{vb:raw template_hook.navtab_middle}
		<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" accesskey="2">{vb:rawphrase getnew_tab}</a>
				
				<ul class="floatcontainer">
					<li><a href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getnew&amp;contenttype=vBForum_Post">{vb:rawphrase new_posts_nav}</a></li>
					<li><a href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getnew&amp;contenttype=vBForum_SocialGroupMessage">{vb:rawphrase new_group_messages_nav}</a></li>
					<li><a href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getnew&amp;contenttype=vBForum_Event">{vb:rawphrase new_events_nav}</a></li>
					{vb:raw template_hook.navbar_getnew_menu}
					<li><a href="forumdisplay.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=markread">{vb:rawphrase mark_forums_read}</a></li>
				</ul>
			</li>

I hope you understand my problem. Is there any way to make it work?

Both the article that I wrote (plugin code only) and that Ragtek wrote (plugin and template code) which are in the vB4 Articles forum talk about the condition you need to add to make the tab active. You may want to read them and include that code in your template or plugin.
