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.

if you dont have <!-- / nav buttons bar --> (only one older versions then) then put it some where else this is why in post 822 I told you to test it but the best thing you can do is move some tabs to your footer as you dont need some of them on the header

Great Mod but it lacks a few features which would make it perfect.

Here's my situation. I use this mod to add links to 3 of my main cms sections ... problem is, I can keep the tab selected on the section page itself but not on the individual articles in the section. Is this something that could "easely" be added as functionality?

Also, my forum has only 1 thread (don't ask ) and I used this mod to add a "forum" tab which directly links to my thread (I used the mod to disable to standard forum tab). I would also like to keep the tab "forum" active when people are browsing this one thread.

update:

About the thread ... this mod works if I set the tab to URL_parameter to http://localhost/showthread.php?t=539 which is the URL of the thread, but the tab doesn't remain selected when using a "new post" link like http://localhost/showthread.php??goto=newpost&t=539
