Andreas, Will this tool support product import export <navigation> with the extended features?

That would be really cool!

Kym

Edit: Or its own standalone import/export navigation function :up:

I knew someone would ask

It's a bit tricky, but certainly doable!

I'll try to include this in Beta 4.

@Andreas... your mod breaks javascript URLs...

			<url><![CDATA[javascript://window.open(getBaseUrl() + 'misc.php?{session.sessionurl}do=buddylist&focus=1','buddylist','statusbar=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=250,height=300'); return false;]]></url>

Eg. The Buddy pop up

@Andreas

I have the gameroom mod
on a few sites I manage

the button has a active users [3] in the button <example
here is the code from the plugin

$lastGameroomTime = time() - 30; 
$result = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT COUNT(userID) AS c FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session WHERE lastactivity > $lastGameroomTime AND location LIKE '%gameroom%'");
 $row = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($result); 

$playersInGameroom = $row['c']; 

$tabselected = ''; 
$tablinks = ''; 
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'gameroom') 
{ 
    $vbulletin->options['selectednavtab']='gameroom_tab'; 
    $tabselected = ' class="selected"'; 
    $tablinks = '                <ul class="floatcontainer"> 
                        <li><a href="Gameroom.php">Casino [' . $playersInGameroom . ']</a></li>
                 </ul> '; 

}  
$template_hook['navtab_end'] .= '<li'.$tabselected.'><a class="navtab" href="gameroom.php">Casino [' . $playersInGameroom . ']</a></li>' ;

How would I go about adding this

will your mod do this?

here is a screen shot


thanks for any help with this

@hippy I modify the text of the Tab on the fly for our photo competition system.

@hook: parse_templates (just convenient for me)

$vbphrase['vb_navigation_tab_YOURTABNAME_text'] = "New text";

Easy!

[Hippy]

snoopytas thanks for the reply
but I am confused ..

[AusPhotography]

To alter the text of a tab you need to change the relevant $vbphrase
In my example YOURTABNAME will need to be the name of the tab which is displayed in the Navigation manager.

"New Text" can be anything you need.

a small problem with the Append parent tab id if the link already has var in it (such as page.php?id=2) then the tab id breaks the page (ie: page.php?id=2?tabid=30) in this case it should append a & in place of a ? (ie: page.php?id=2&tabid=30)

awesome improvements to the nav manager!!

Could you add the ability to show the Nav Bits on a per forum basis.

For example I host 2 forums. 1 for company X and the other for company Y. Company X would like some links added for their members but these links have nothing to do with company Y thus theoretically should not be shown.

Thanx for the consideration
