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.

For example, if I want the Contact tab to be selected,

Contact|http://www.website.com/forum/sendmessage.php=>self

I would put sendmessage at the Tabs Selected.

What if I want tab selected for the URL below which is a folder and not a file?

One issue I've found though, not sure if it's my system or not. I'm running 4.1.10, when I disable the "What's New?" Tab, and I click on the "New Posts" subnav link, the page comes up with the subnav links missing, and the borders missing on the bottom of the tabs.

This is what it looks like with the tab disabled:



And this is what it should look like:

anyway

under Disable Tabs
replace the code with this

foreach ($vbulletin->bf_misc_vbhdistabs AS $tabname => $valor)
{
	if ($vbulletin->options['vbhdistabs'] & $valor){
switch($tabname){

			case 'vbh_cms':
			$vbulletin->templatecache['vbcms_navbar_link'] = str_replace('<li','<li style="display:none"',$vbulletin->templatecache['vbcms_navbar_link']);
break;
		break;

		case 'vbh_blogs':
			$vbulletin->templatecache['blog_navbar_link'] = str_replace('<li','<li style="display:none"',$vbulletin->templatecache['blog_navbar_link']);
		break;

		case 'vbh_whats_new':
			$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar']= preg_replace(
		'#(<li>|<li\s*class="selected">)*<a\s*class="navtab"\s*href="search\.php\?\'\s*\.\s*\$session\[\'sessionurl\'\]\s*\.\s*\'do=\w+&amp;contenttype=\w+"\s*accesskey="\d">\'\s*\.\s*vB_Template_Runtime::parsePhrase\("\w*"\)\s*\.\s*\'</a>(</li>)*#i',
		'',$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar']);
		break;

			}

	}
		
	
}

this mod is in good need of a update..

this will get you by with disabling the what's new and lossing the subnav

example

your adding content.php for your tab / button .. in the options on this mod under Tabs Selected
add vbcms
example
in Add new tabs URL and Text it would look like this
Calendar|calendar.php=>self
FAQ|faq.php=>self
Albums|album.php=>self
Groups|group.php=>self
Home|content.php=>self here add content.php and the rest that follows home can be what ever you like as long as the articles are using the content.php and you add the vbcms to tabs selected you golden

under Tabs Selected
it will look like this

calendar,faq,album,group,vbcms

thanks, hippy's fix added also added some of my own fixes

[gpinjason]

example

your adding content.php for your tab / button .. in the options on this mod under Tabs Selected
add vbcms
example
in Add new tabs URL and Text it would look like this
Calendar|calendar.php=>self
FAQ|faq.php=>self
Albums|album.php=>self
Groups|group.php=>self
Home|content.php=>self here add content.php and the rest that follows home can be what ever you like as long as the articles are using the content.php and you add the vbcms to tabs selected you golden

under Tabs Selected
it will look like this

calendar,faq,album,group,vbcms

I tried adding the vbcms to the selected list and it didn't work.. I think it's because I'm linking to 3 different content pages + the "Home" Tab links to the main CMS page. Each time I click the content page link, it just shows the "Home" tab selected.

I will try it again. Thanks for the help!!!

If you want to link your home tab copy the full url and in the Tabs Selected box put home not vbcms. What you see in Add new tabs URL and Text box is only a guide read what it says to the left of that box. You can delete all default text in both boxes and add your own things
