[HOW TO - vB4] Create a New Tab in the navbar

[JointRolla420]

i only needed the links in the main navbar so for me this worked...

$tabselected = '';
$tablinks = '';
$template_hook['navtab_end'] .= '<li'.$tabselected.'><a class="navtab" href="http://xxxxxxxxxx/payments.php">Buy VIP!</a>'.$tablinks.'</li>' ;

$template_hook['navtab_end'] .= '<li'.$tabselected.'><a class="navtab" href="http://xxxxxxxxxx/" target="_new">xxxxxxxx</a>'.$tablinks.'</li>' ;

but im still trying to figure out how to put a gap after the nav buttons end and then another one near the other side, connected to the search bar

yea i tryed but i still cant figure out how to make one link stay at the far right instead of beside each other, a space and it shows at the very end of the bar...

i tried <ul style='float:right'> but even if that worked its probably not the best coding so some help would be appreciated

About the only thing I've come up with is to remove all class="selected" for vbcms then write a plugin to specify what to select based on section id. Has to be an easier way though

Excellent mod, works great. Has anyone figured out an easy way to use templates to pupulate the pages upon sub menu link clicks or does it have to be external or new page links?

I tried the 48-What-is-RideHub suggestions but my home tab always stays selected and it was very buggy for me.

The site I am working to complete is http://deathcompanygaming.net/epeenery/

On my roster page I would like to use the dropdown menu to populate our roster for each game. I haven't been able to get jquery to be very stable and play nice with vB4 yet so is there an onclick event that will load templates into a particular div tag that can be used in the link?

Hey Lynne!! I have used this code, but I can't seem to get it to work, or part of it to work. I have modified the code and it is shown below.

PHP Code:

$tabselected = '';
$tablinks = '';
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'status')
{
    $vbulletin->options['selectednavtab']='radio_tab_001';
    $tabselected = ' class="selected"';
    $tablinks = '     <ul class="floatcontainer">
                        <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
                        <li><a href="schedule.php">Schedule</a></li>
                        <li><a href="status.php">Status</a></li>
                      </ul> ';
} 
$template_hook['navtab_end'] .= '<li'.$tabselected.'><a class="navtab" href="status.php">Radio</a>'.$tablinks.'</li>' ; 


I have made two pages, schedule and status. The about page has not been made yet but it in the process of being made using your HOW-TO (thanks for that one!!). When I click the "Radio" section on the biggest bar, it selects itself and highlights as it should, but then when I go to the schedule.php link it goes back to the Forum tab.

You can see it in action if you wish at http://forum.pukkaradio.net

Cheers for any help that may come of this!!

You need to make your condition cover *all* the pages you wish it to stay highlighted for. If your schedule.php page has THIS_SCRIPT defined as 'schedule', then change the condition to this:

PHP Code:

if (in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('status', 'schedule')))

Hi All.
Browsed through this entire thread and I am still no wiser to my predicament. what I would like to do is simply add an extra standard Navbar Tab which will redirect the user to my other external website.

Example
"www.myadvertising-program.com"



Thanks.

To keep the tab highlighted for my sublinks I just added the or statement to the beginning and used multiple php files.

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'recruitment.php' || THIS_SCRIPT == 'recruitment_status.php' || THIS_SCRIPT == 'epeen_application.php')

If that is all you want to do, there is a MOD for that.

Lynne,

How would I construct the if condition for a link like so:

misc.php?do=rules
