Thank you as well.

If I wanted to have the Sublink drop downs directly from the original tab, rather than Tab > Link > Sublink, would I simply delete the lists and leave the unordered lists?

Thanks

There is another article about how to make the navtabs dropdowns themselves. You should be able to find it in this forum.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=232579 only applies to the Sublink drop downs as does https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=232579

Just in case, if someone only wants to add a tab, here is the modified code:

PHP Code:

$tabselected = '';
$tablinks = '';
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'chat')
{
    $vbulletin->options['selectednavtab']='chat';
    $tabselected = ' class="selected"';
} 
$template_hook['navtab_end'] .= '<li'.$tabselected.'><a class="navtab" href="chat.php">Chat</a>'.$tablinks.'</li>' ; 


Replace:

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'chat') 


and

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->options['selectednavtab']='chat'; 


With some unique name.

If possible, could I get some personal assistance in getting this to work on my forum?

I would try some products, but I'm concerned about the developers bailing out, and figure it would be beneficial just to see how it's done "manually".

Hi, I have 2 questions please

1. If I need to create more than 1 tab, would I have to keep adding this blugin for each tab, if not so how can i use it for more than 1 tab?

2. I need to make 3 different forums ( already Exit), each will have own tab in the navbar, can I do that with this blugin, how?

I am new with coding and if you please give me a step by step instructions.


Thanks

1. You may add the plugin code several times into the same plugin and just change the condition for each.

2. Just add a unique condition for each.

Lynne & wowautoauctions: THANKS a LOT !!!

It works excelent for sub-forum with proper highlighting!

$tabselected = '';
$tablinks = '';
if ($GLOBALS['forumid'] == 222)
{
    $vbulletin->options['selectednavtab']='SOMETHING';
    $tabselected = ' class="selected"';
} 
$template_hook['navtab_middle'] .= '<li'.$tabselected.'><a class="navtab" href="http://yoursite/forumdisplay.php/222-Blablabla">SOMETHING</a>'.$tablinks.'</li>' ;

Anyway, one more thing...

Now i have navbar like this:

CMS_FORUM_BLOGS_AAA_BBB_CCC_WHATSNEW

and i would like to have it like this:

CMS_FORUM_AAA_BBB_CCC_BLOGS_WHATSNEW

How to "move" that "BLOG" to the right?

Thanks!

There are template_hooks in the navbar that are being used to place the navtabs. If you want to move a tab, then find the template hook you want to use and change the existing one (in this case it is a plugin in the blog product) to use the new one.
