It is possible to open a link in a new browser ( popup ) ? I've tried to add this code but didnt work:

$tabselected = '';
$tablinks = '';

function trackPopup(href, target)
{
target = target || "_blank";
window.open(href, target,'width=300,height=500,resizable=0,scrollbars=no,menubar=no,status=no');
pageTracker._link(href);
}

if (PP_SCRIPT == 'PP_Classifieds' )
{
    $vbulletin->options['selectednavtab']='pp_market';
    $tabselected = ' class="selected"';
} 
$template_hook['navtab_end'] .= '<li'.$tabselected.'><a class="navtab" href="/page.html" target="popupWindow" onclick="trackPopup(this.href, this.target); return false;" onmousedown="top.status='Insert Message';" onmouseover="top.status='Insert Message';">Chat</a>'.$tablinks.'</li>' ;

I've also tried to put the javascript function in separate .js file and link it in header with <script> without success

Sorry, but I don't help with javascript issues.

meanwhile I've solved it by myself

maybe it should be useful for somebody else in the future :

$tabselected = '';
$tablinks = '';

if (PP_SCRIPT == 'PP_CHAT' )
{
    $vbulletin->options['selectednavtab']='pp_chat';
    $tabselected = ' class="selected"';
} 
$template_hook['navtab_end'] .= '<script language="JavaScript1.2">function openwindow()
{	mywindow=window.open("chatrooms/index.php","mywindow","location=0,status=0,menubar=0,resizable=1,width=650,height=500");
mywindow.moveTo(screen.width/2-300,screen.height/2-250);
}
</script><li'.$tabselected.'><a title="Chat" class="navtab" href="javascript: openwindow()">Chatroom</a>'.$tablinks.'</li>' ;

This is answered in the article itself:

You may use a different template_hook here - it just depends on where you want your tab to be - navtab_start and navtab_middle are also available.

In the Navbar- I want to created a Navtab (that doesn't link to anything/go anywhere/ stays on the same page no matter what page you're on when you click it) but that creates a Navigation submenu bar with multiple drop down boxes containing links.



I want it to do this (as pictured above)- except that link 1 is a drop down, link 2 is a drop down, etc (all of the submenus are dropdowns. When you click on "Nav Link" in the navbar tabs- it doesn't actually GO anywhere- the page stays the same with the navigation menus all showing.

I got all of submenu dropdowns to show but cant get the 'Nav Link" to remain the same on every single page.

I tried using:

PHP Code:

$template_hook['navtab_end'] .= '<li'.$tabselected.'><a class="navtab" >Nav Link</a>'.$tablinks.'</li>' ; 


is there a way to remove the actual "Linking" of the tab and still have the drop down menu appear when someone clicks on it?

I tried using 'index' in THIS_SCRIPT and removing the link in the bottom line 'link.php' but than it overwrote the links in the forum tab (so when you click on the forum tab, the links from the new tab showed).


I just want a tab that when clicked on- displays the sections that are available on my site.

No Answer, Really????????????????????????

I don't know how you would do that. You would need to come up with that "unique" condition, and I'm not sure what that would be. Figure that out, and it will work.

hi lynne, im a fan of your work..

so how do you remove the "forum" tab if you dont own the CMS forum suite version?

I managed to remove the "whats new" just cant manage to find where to remove the "forum" tab
