vBH-Add new tabs 1.2 with no querys
Mark as installed, if you use it


If you like this modification please suport it in the mod of the moth poll

What does this plugin?
This plugin allows you to add new tabs in the navigation bar to link to any site you want.

Installation:
Import the xml file from the product manager..
Upload the files in the upload folder to your forums via ftp.

To add new tabs, go to:
vBulletin Options> VBH New Tabs Option


Configuration example:

AdminCP|/admincp/=>self;6
google|http://www.google.com=>self;1 2
vbulletin|http://www.vbulletin.com=>self;1 2
yahoo|http://www.yahoo.com=>self;1 2
vbulletin.org|http://www.vbulletin.org=>self;1 2

See screenshots.

To make tab selected:
This option only works if your tab links to internal files. You need to enter the THIS_SCRIPT value under the option Tabs Selected.

Also note that some areas of vBulletin already use the THIS_SCRIPT value in their code and because of this some tabs may not work correctly. A example of this would be the usercp.php file. If you make a tab linking to this file and then you enter the value 'usercp' to make it selected, the tab will be selected but also will be the forum tab. This is because vBulletin used this value in the navbar template.

You won't have problems when linking to custome pages.

Obviously he could achieve the same by going through the 'my profile' link in the header but it would be nice to get to the posts and threads with just one click. The problem is that I don't know which url to point the buttons at to achieve this. I'd appreciate any help.

You could just use my View Your Threads Or Posts From The Navbar hack, as it does exactly what your members want.

That will show all his posts.

I'm not exactly sure how you can show the threads, I get different results when I change "showposts=1" to "showthreads=1", but I'm not sure what the difference is exactly.

"showposts=1" shows the search results as posts, so if you have say 4 posts in 1 thread, then you will 4 posts in the search results.

"showthreads=1" shows the search results as threads, so if you have say 4 posts in 1 thread, then you will only have the one thread in the search results.

I made a custom tab that links to a custom template via: http://xxxxx.com/forum/misc.php?do=page&template=xxxxx

Is it possible for the tab to be "selected", because currently if I click on it, it leads me to the page alright but the "Forum" tab remains the default selected tab.

Not with this hack unfortunately, as all it does at the moment is take you to external sites only, which is why you had to put the full url and which is why it does not highlight the tab.

If you look at my signature, I have a product that does the lot.

When they are updated to vb 4.0.0 gold ?

[Edrondol]

Not compatible with v4 Gold.

Error:

1. This product is not compatible with version 4.0.0 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 4.0.0 Beta / Incompatible with 4.0.0 and greater)

Edit the XML file and remove the "maxversion=" setting. The addon still works.

Cool. Thanks, man.

Works great. Will probably be dysfunctional in vB5 when they offer customers to add their own tabs.

Amazing that this isn't part of vB out-of-the-box. They are selling a CMS without a simple method of modifying menu navigation? World class!
