Hi Lynne,

I am wondering if there is anyway for me to use this great tutorial.

I want to be able to use this even though I do not have a custom page, I have my forumhome split to keep style download forums out of my main forums. I have do this using a really old mod by amykhar.

My forums for style downloads are located on forum.php?page=2, there isn't a this script defined anywhere so I cannot use one to get the tab higlighted or the pop-up menus to appear.

This is how I have my plugin written:

Code:

$tabselected = '';
$tablinks = '';
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'forum.php?page=2')
{
    $vbulletin->options['selectednavtab']='style_forums';
    $tabselected = ' class="selected"';
    $tablinks = ' <ul class="floatcontainer">
                        <li class="popupmenu">
                            <a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl">The vB3 Styles</a>
                            <ul class="popupbody popuphover">
                                    <li><a href="forumdisplay.php?11-Download-vB3-Lighter-Styles">Download vB3 Lighter Styles</a></li>
                                    <li><a href="forumdisplay.php?16-Download-vB3-Dark-Styles">Download vB3 Dark Styles</a></li>
                                    <li><a href="project.php?projectid=2">Project vB Styles Version 3.8x</a></li>
                            </ul>
                        </li>
                        <li class="popupmenu">
                            <a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl">The vB4 Styles</a>
                            <ul class="popupbody popuphover">
                                    <li><a href="forumdisplay.php?10-Download-vB4-Styles">Download vB4 Styles</a></li>
                                    <li><a href="project.php?projectid=3">Project vB Styles Version 4</a></li>
                            </ul>
                        </li>
                        <li class="popupmenu">
                            <a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl">Loyal Member Styles</a>
                            <ul class="popupbody popuphover">
                                    <li><a href="forumdisplay.php?22-Loyal-Member-vB4-Styles">Loyal Member vB4 Styles</a></li>
                                    <li><a href="project.php?projectid=4">Project vB4 Styles Loyal Members</a></li>
                            </ul>
                        </li>
                </ul> ';

} 
$template_hook['navtab_end'] .= '<li'.$tabselected.'><a class="navtab" href="forum.php?page=2">Styles Forums</a>'.$tablinks.'</li>' ;

In use here:
http://www.styleorigin.com/vbstyles/forum.php

The link navigates to the page well enough but obviously the tab doesn't higlight and the pop-up menus do not appear. I know this is because of the incorrect use of the THIS_SCRIPT, but I don't know what to use instead.

Do you have any ideas please?

@Alice. Have you tried if(THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' AND $_REQUEST['page'] == 2) ?

Hi, great site! I need some help.

When I unselect "Sections to Display in the Navbar Sub-Menu" I end up losing the Home tab. Is there any way to keep the Home tab present? It remains on every other screen (ie. when I'm in the forums - screenshots attached). My site is: www.wonderfulwaterloo.com if you want to check out the error.

I imagine it has something to do with this, and I tried to play around with it but the forum stopped working.

Edit Plugin Navbar: Insert CMS Navbar Entry

Code:

if (defined('CMS_SCRIPT') AND class_exists('vBCms_Navbar'))
{
	$vbulletin->options['selectednavtab'] = 'vbcms';
	$template_hook['navtab_start'] .= vBCms_NavBar::renderView();
}
else
{
	$template_hook['navtab_start'] .= vB_Template::create('vbcms_navbar_link')->render();
        $template_hook['navbar_getnew_menu'] .= vB_Template::create('vbcms_navbar_whatsnew_link')->render();
}

If I follow your tutorial... should that not be the case? Apologies for all the questions...

Hi Lynne

Appreciate all of your help... and I have all working bar one last thing...

When a user lands on my home page (by clicking on the new 'HOME' button I created), the highlighted button remains as the 'FORUMS' button? If they are on the home page, I would like them to see the 'HOME' button (which is the one I created with your mod) to be highlighted.

Are you able to help me work out this last aspect pls?

Cheers
Wormy

Lynne · #**297** 07-01-2010, 03:19 PM

If your custom tab is not getting highlighted, then you probably don't have your condition for it written correctly. As I specified, that condition MUST be unique or it won't work.

Wormy! · #**298** 07-02-2010, 10:06 AM

Hi Lynne

It is unique... and that's what's puzzling me 8|

It ighlights when it mouse overs... no problem there... BUT when a user clicks on the 'Home' tab and is directed there... the 'Forums' tab still remains as the highlighted option?

Does that make sense?

Thanks in advance!!

Lynne · #**299** 07-02-2010, 02:24 PM

What is that unique condition?

Hi Lynne

Heres my code:

Code:

$tabselected = '';
$tablinks = '';
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'home_tab')
{
    $vbulletin->options['selectednavtab']='home_tab';
    $tabselected = ' class="selected"';
    $tablinks = '                <ul class="floatcontainer">
                        <li><a href="link1.php">Link 1</a></li>
                            <li class="popupmenu">
                                <a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl">Drop Down</a>
                                <ul class="popupbody popuphover">
                                        <li><a href="sublink1.php">SubLink 1</a></li>
                                        <li><a href="sublink2.php">SubLink 2</a></li>
                                        <li><a href="sublink3.php">SubLink 3</a></li>
                                </ul>
                            </li>
                        <li><a href="link2.php">Link 2</a></li>
                        <li><a href="link3.php">Link 3</a></li>
                </ul> ';

} 
$template_hook['navtab_start'] .= '<li'.$tabselected.'><a class="navtab" href="http://www.technologyatplay.com">Home</a>'.$tablinks.'</li>' ;

Appreciate your help!
