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.

Uninstalled the older version, installed the newer version and still get a page refresh instead of the log in screen Oh well it's not important just something I thought of a few days ago.

so you got the program working

[John Lester]

Yea forum leaders was blank because I was trying to get a different usergroup to show up Yes I can make other tabs, it's just the login tab that doesn't want to behave.

I had to back track a bunch of posts to find the link removal method. That indeed was most annoying.
Some little smart butt made the comment I hadn't update my mod version. I nabbed your file but before I install it what does it do better and does it have a link I need to kill?

[John Lester]

In the "tabs selected" box ... what/where is "THIS_SCRIPT" and where is it defined?

Here you may add values for THIS_SCRIPT as defined in your custom pages or vbulletin files. Exaple:
For calendar.php you may add calendar as this is the value defined for THIS_SCRIPT in calendar.php file.
