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.

Using 4.1.4 pl 3 trying to add a log in button. Instead of actually going to the login page it just refreshes. Using the code below.

Log In | login.php?do=login => blank

I want it to open the same page that opens when you make a mistake logging in.

I want to add two new tabs. One called Discussions and the other Repair tips.

How do I do this and allow the tabs to be highlighted.
The two new tabs are just links to parts of the forum.
I understand the .php bit bit does a sub forum have a .php page to itself?

Same qustion. I would like to add 2 tabs to link sub-forums, so the link looks like

http://xxxxxxxxxx/forumdisplay.php/111-blabla

Any way how to make this TAB as "selected" when selected ?


EDIT: Ha! No MOD like this needed. It can be simply done via custom plugin!


Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: process_templates_complete
Title: <whatever you want>
Plugin PHP Code:

$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>' ;

I run the plugin on vB 4.1.5 Patch Level 1.

Everything work fine... except the "Disable Default Tabs" function. Even though I checked these tabs to be disable, there are still showing. How can I solve this?

I was so happy I finally found a pluging that did this job, but it seems like I have to keep on looking. :-(

Does this allow you to add sub-links?
