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.

I am having trouble getting my tab to highlight. My one tab that I have is like follows

Donate|/forum/content.php/138-Become-a-Supporter-and-Donate=>self;1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

what would i do to get this highlighted?

I must be missing something.

When I click on a tab, should the tab remain highlighted when I am on that page?

Edit: I guess it's because my gallery and classifieds are an index file.

Yo can't. The problem is that that file has a value in THIS_SCRIPT different then the file name content.php. The value for that file is vbcms and that doesn't match the filename.

If you have information for donations in that article, I recommend you do a custom page so you cant define THIS_SCRIPT with your own value. There are a few guides in the vb4 forums here in vb.org to make custom pages.

That's the problem. The way I made this mod doesn't allow to select any tab if the value for THIS_SCRIPT isn't the same as the file name. I will try to do it differently in the next update so you can highlight the tab even if the THIS_SCRIPT value is different than the filename.

Tab selected is to make your tab highlighted. You just need to add the file name you are linking to, this name also need to be in the THIS_SCRIPT constant value so your page get highlighted. Read the option description.
