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.

Anyway around this?

Same here, but not too bothered as this is a great mod, far easier to use for links to arcade etc than the small navbar links.

Nice mod, saves me a lot of work

I have a questions though, I am using this to link to a page I made using this "how to" https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...hreadid=229194

Is there anyway that when they click the link to that page, the tab is selected, instead of the home tab being selected?

paulbhoy, there is no way to do that in the current versi?n. I'll be working in a minor update to include some suggestions, but I won't be including every suggestion. I'm just going to update the current version, I will include a variable, that if active you will be able to use it in your custom page and use it in some sort of conditional to highlight your tab.


For all the other users that keep asking why this addon doesn't change the tab color to white when clicked, this addon doesn't support it and provably wont, however I will try to make something in the future.
There is a paid addon out there that do everything you people want, however I know that would be better if this features were free, so I will try to implement them at some point.

This mod is great - thank you. I tried to write my own before I found this mod. Not terrifically difficult, but I'd still rather not have to do that again.

I am also seconding the requests for highlighting. My "new tab" was just a simple link to Advanced Search. The default tab "What's New" gets highlighted when the "Search" link is clicked (and if I link to "content.php" instead of "search.php," the "Home" button gets highlighted - evidently some links will trigger certain tab highlights? - argh).

Thanks again for the time-saver, Elmer!

Nice! Thanks!

I like this, but I would suggest that it allows you to choose which user groups get to see the tape from a multiple drop down list (meaning you can choose more than one usergroup. Other than that, good job!

Simple, yet very helpful and well-coded.
Thank you for this nice mod.

However, if you can not wait for that to happen, then check out my site, there is a product that does all of this, see my signature for the link.

I saw a website that was able to do that... was that with ur mod?
