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.

I downloaded this file. I am using 4.0.4.

How do I do this part? "Import the xml file from the product manager.."

[Ririal]

Amazing. Simple and easy to use, exactly what I was searching for.

Very nice mod. My members have been asking for this kind of thing for a while, and I'm impressed at how easy it was to use. Thanks!

The tab is working nicely but I can't figure out the THIS_SCRIPT business.

e.g. if I am linking to a CMS article, e.g.

http://cafesaxophone.com/content.php?198-Music-Store

what do I put in the VBH tab control panel, and do I edit any files?

I'm repeating this becouse I can't find the answer, and I'm also stuck here. I linked new tab to an article, but I have no clue what to do with THIS_SCRIPT. Any example, please? Do I need to insert some code to an article that would make tab selected?

EDIT: I did it like it was described here. Works fine for me.

I wanted a tab that would display my section 21, and also to be active when I click it. The link to this section is .../content.php?21.
So, I made a copy of content.php and named it novosti.php. I opened it and modify line with THIS_SCRIPT, replaced "vbcms" with "novosti". I made new tab with this tool and point it to novosti.php?21, and set the THIS_SCRIPT value to "novosti". Everithing is great, only I don't have sublinks, like I have them when I go to article 21 on regular way, but that is a minor issue.

Did you get this to work with your version 4.0.4?

Just wondering if this tabs mod will work with 4.0.4 yet or if there is a tab plugin on vBulletin.org that anyone knows about. Thanks

You could try my one - Tab and Link Manager Lite.
