Mark as installed, if you use it


If you like this modification please suport it in the mod of the moth poll

What does this plugin?
This plugin allows you to add new tabs in the navigation bar to link to any site you want.

Installation:
Import the xml file from the product manager..
Upload the files in the upload folder to your forums via ftp.

To add new tabs, go to:
vBulletin Options> VBH New Tabs Option


Configuration example:

AdminCP|/admincp/=>self;6
google|http://www.google.com=>self;1 2
vbulletin|http://www.vbulletin.com=>self;1 2
yahoo|http://www.yahoo.com=>self;1 2
vbulletin.org|http://www.vbulletin.org=>self;1 2

See screenshots.

To make tab selected:
This option only works if your tab links to internal files. You need to enter the THIS_SCRIPT value under the option Tabs Selected.

Also note that some areas of vBulletin already use the THIS_SCRIPT value in their code and because of this some tabs may not work correctly. A example of this would be the usercp.php file. If you make a tab linking to this file and then you enter the value 'usercp' to make it selected, the tab will be selected but also will be the forum tab. This is because vBulletin used this value in the navbar template.

You won't have problems when linking to custome pages.

Ok, heres how to remove the link at the bottom.

Go into Plugin Manager and look for Disable Tabs which is found under "Product: vBH - Add new tabs 1.2", select Edit, in the "Plugin PHP Code" box, scroll down and remove the following lines of code.

//copyright start here
if(!defined('VBH_CPR')) {
	$key = strpos($vbphrase['powered_by_vbulletin'], "vbhispano.com");
	if($key === false){
		$vbhcpr = '<br />Extra Tabs by <a href="http://www.vbhispano.com" title="Soporte vBulletin en Espa?ol">vBulletin Hispano</a>';
		define('VBH_CPR', $vbhcpr);
		$vbphrase['powered_by_vbulletin'] .= VBH_CPR;
	}
}

Hi gang,

I'm also trying to use this mod to have a top nav button link to an article. I can't get it to highlight as I'm not sure what the THIS_SCRIPT value would be.

You can see what I mean by going to our site, www.spacetimestudios.com and clicking on the "Classified" link. Any thoughts or suggestions would be great, thanks!

Thanks Longjohn. Im all for giving credit and everything & Im grateful for the mod, but the footer thing was just way too much. How about something a little more subtle.

[lazerguy_82]

Yup, great mod!
I do have a question though. I see you can remove the 'what's new' tab. How can I either move the 'forum' tab or remove it and then recreate it (so that I can place it in a different order).

Greatest mod ever seen. The "What's New?" tab is hidden in "Home" tab but when go to the "Forum" tab is show again.

Thanks

Nice Mod Elmer! Thanks for sharing!

I just recently ran into a problem, when trying to use this in conjunction with a picture and gallery mod here. The problem is in maintaining the "active" button state, for more than one file name.

In this case, I need the "Album" button to show active while the albumall.php, picall.php, and album.php are active. Since all three page types are under the parent Album category.

Is there a way to do this? Or can your product easily be modified to do this?

Thanks again for a GREAT mod!
Jeff

Nevermind Elmer. I uninstalled your mod and coded the extra tabs myself, creating plugins as Lynne describes how to do here. It was really very EASY, and allowed me to use multiple conditions.

I appreciate your mod though, it made it easier to create tabs for single condition circumstances, at least at first.

On a side note:

I really wish that programmers wouldn't demand visible copyright "credits" and a link on every single page of your site, simply for contributing relatively minor mods such as a navtab mod. I believe that really should be reserved for more significant contributions. That bothered me about your mod from the beginning. Anyhow, that's just my opinion.

Thanks for sharing!

How do you add links under the tab in the blue part next to New posts, Private messages, etc?
