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 would suggest uninstalling the product and re-installing it to see if that fixes it. Sounds like to made an edit somewhere.

un-installed and reinstalled it same thing happens

The you must have another plugin messing with it. Try disabling the other plugins and see if that fixes that one.

I have to agree here. Giving the author credit is part of the deal of using one of thier mods. I would suggest making the hyperlink static. That way the author gets due credit but the link is not active. Either way it wouldn't hurt to make contact with the author and get permission.

all plugins off and it still does it

Hey, Boofo, good to see you out and about.

If you have this mod installed open that template vbh_newtabs and then save it not changing anything. Not sure how many people have actually tried to edit this template but it cannot be saved without removing the second argument. Also, I'm not sure how another plugin can have any issues with saving a template.

This template has an issue in it, no doubt. If you remove the 2nd and save it, it will save, and you can revert as well. But simply opening and saving does not work. It's a coding issue with the datatype in this template.

[Boofo]

Well, I just did as you suggested and the template saved fine just like it was before I saved it. The hack is working fine after saving the template. As I said before, something else is affecting it somewhere.

[Infopro]

Impossible. I've just installed this to my newly installed testvb and simply opened and saved it, it will not save.

I had earlier tested this on the live site before I posted here. I've got better things to do than to waste yours and my time.

[Boofo]

No, it is not impossible. Why would I make that up? It saved fine for me and I do not get any errors on saving the template. What is impossible is that you did it on a fresh install and it didn't save properly.
