[How-To] Add entries to AdminCP Navigation Menu

[Andreas]

What do you mean with "blank tab"?
Also, do you have a product emotions?

[waza]

Hey,
yes I have a product emotions, I also tried it with: product="vbulletin" but it didn't work either I always get a blank entry, like in the attached screen.

If I look to the src code I see this for the blank entry:

<div style="margin-bottom:12px"></div>
	<a name="grpemotions_0"></a>
		<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" class="navtitle" ondblclick="toggle_group('emotions_0'); return false;">
		<tr>
			<td><strong></strong></td>
			<td align="right">
				<a href="index.php?do=buildnavprefs&amp;nojs=0&amp;prefs=&amp;dowhat=expand&amp;id=emotions_0#grpemotions_0" target="_self"
					onclick="toggle_group('emotions_0'); return false;"
					oncontextmenu="toggle_group('emotions_0'); save_group_prefs('emotions_0'); return false"
				><img src="../cpstyles/vBulletin_3_Silver/cp_expand.gif" title="Expand Group" id="button_emotions_0" alt="" border="0" /></a>
			</td>

		</tr>
		</table>
		<div id="group_emotions_0" class="navgroup" style="display:none">
		<div class="navlink-normal" onclick="nav_goto('');" onmouseover="this.className='navlink-hover';" onmouseout="this.className='navlink-normal'"><a href=""></a></div>
		</div>

Your XML is invalid

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<navgroups product="emotions">
	<navgroup text="Moods" hr="true">
		<navoption>
			<text>Mood manager</text>
			<link>image.php?do=modify&amp;table=mood</link>
		</navoption>
		<navoption>
			<text>Add new mood</text>
			<link>image.php?do=add&amp;table=mood</link>
		</navoption>
		<navoption>
			<text>Upload mood</text>
			<link>image.php?do=upload&amp;table=mood</link>
		</navoption>
	</navgroup>
</navgroups>

Take a look at the permissions parameter within the navgroup tags.

I can see where it you would put 'permissions="canadminsettings"' but that doesn't allow you to choose which Admins have the accessibility.

If you go to Admin Permissions, you are able to choose which Admin has what permissions to access. How would one go about adding this functionality?

Thanks

Just for reference, the vBulletin manual has a section on this.
http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/cpnav_xml

Very handy. :squareeyed:

  It has one parameter product that should be set to vbulletin

Actually this should be set to the name of your product.

Before RC ... don't know which RC it was that introduced product management, this was correct.

If you want to add your own permissions, you need to use bitfields.
See http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/bitfield_xml

^ Granted this is for 3.5.2..... Not sure about Beta.

Have you done one for release? If not, you ought to. Your tutorials are very handy to have around. :glasses:

Andreas,

Thank you very much for taking the time to put this tutorial together! Tutorials like this one are a huge help to new vBulletin Hack developers.
Kudos to you! Hopefully you will be adding more to this.

Best wishes,
Jim
