Miscellaneous Hacks - vBH-Add new tabs

vBH-Add new tabs 1.2 with no querys
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.

What the developer does NOT say is that he adds a spam notice on the bottom of EVERY PAGE of your forum!! If I had the same notice for every mod on my site, I would have a copyright notice 30 lines high!! AND if you disable the mod, his SPAM NOTICE still remains!

Worst kind of shilling I have seen on a vBulletin mod ever.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. I'm talking about THIS MOD and the following 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;
	}

To say nothing about that fact that this developer should NOT be hacking the vBulletin copyright notice (which is what is happening when he redefines 'powered_by_vbulletin').

Ok wait a second... I misunderstood you. You are saying the updated version 1.3 doesn't have that code any longer...

Let me check it out - sorry if I misunderstood.

[EDIT]Thanks - it works fine now. They need to replace the default 1.2 version on the site.[/EDIT]
