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.

Yes. Just select "left" under "tab position" in the options page. It will put all of your custom tabs to the right of the "home" tab but to the left of "blog" and "what's new."

Noob here, but learning. I can walk you through it.

• After downloading the .zip file, extract all of the files in the folder "vbh add new tabs 1.2."
• Then you need to put the files in their particular folders on your server. In the case of this particular hack, it's super-easy, because there's just one file.
• So, you get the file "bitfield_vbhtabs" where it belongs on your server. It needs to go into the [your site's root]/includes/xml folder on your server. You can do this with an FTP, but if your site has a plesk, you can just import it that way, probably more quickly.
• After getting the file into your server in the right place, go to the Admin CP and go to down to the bottom of the left-hand menu. Select "Plugins & Products," then "product manager" from that drop-down menu.
• Once the product manager opens, click on "add/import product." then you'll be taken to a screen where you choose whether to import from your computer or from your server. In this case, you're importing from your computer.
• Click on "browse" in the first option and locate the un-zipped file for "vbh add new tabs 1.2." at the root menu of this file is the XML file "product-vbh_newtabs10." Double-click this to select the file. Then click "yes" to "allow overwrite," then click "import."
• You'll get a screen confirming the upload, but the file is so small that it may be a mere flash.
• You're done! Just double-check this in the ACP fo your permissions, etc.

Hi there I am having some trouble (maybe basic) installing this Mod.

Basically I upload the files to my webserver, but when I go to import the XML File (products-VBH_Newtabs-10 or whatever) I get this error message:

"Please upload the file bitfield_vbhtabs.xml to /includes/xml/ before installing or upgrading!
Por favor subre el archivo bitfield_vbhtabs.xml a /includes/xml/ y luego instalar o actualizar este addon"

So then I go back and I find the bitfield_vbhtabs to upload in the product manager and then I get this error:

"Invalid File Specified"

Anybody know why this is happening? Any help would be appreciated.

You need to FIRST upload the bitfield_vbhtabs.xml via FTP (into the appropriate directory = forum root > includes > xml). THEN you need to upload the product-vbh_newtabs10.xml via the Product Manager.

That should fix your problems.

Best of luck!

Ok got it! Thank you for your help.

Ok got it set-up. Some quick questions though. Bear with me I'm a newb!

1.) Are we only allowed to move our Newly Created Tabs either to the left or right of the "Forum, Whats New, Blog" tabs? Say I wanted to add a Profile and Calendar tab. Are my only options pretty much:

A. Profile/Calendar/Forum/Whats New/Blog
B. Forum/Whats New/Blog/ Profile/Calendar

or is there anyway to "mix" the tabs up in the Nav Bar such as

C. Profile/Forum/Calendar/Blog/Whats New

Or are we stuck with either left or right of the default tabs?

2.) I wanted to add a "My Profile" tab to the Navbar. So I used the config: "My Profile|member.php=>self" in the Options panel.

I am able to create the Tab perfectly, however when I click on it I get this message:

"This user has not registered and therefore does not have a profile to view"

I don't get how the user (me or any other) could not be registered as I am logged in to my account. Any ideas why this might be? Did I do something wrong?

Basically I want it so that when users click "My Profile" in the new tab its just like clicking "My Profile" in the default upper right corner of the Vbulletin Page.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I don't know, but in another thread you said you wanted subscriptions? A link to the member's subscription page would be easier since it doesn't use a custom url like My Profile does.

Hi yes Videx I was able to create a Tab for the subscriptions page which works great. I was wondering if there was a way to do one for the "My Profile" feature as well.
