How do you keep a Tab active when you click on a link under that Tab?
Example I have a Tab called HUB and under that Tab I have a menu i made for Private Messages. When you go to the Inbox link in my menu the Forum Tab becomes active instead of my HUB tab.

So How can I tell the Tab I make to remain active?

Private Messages has a THIS_SCRIPT of private, so using the code we discussed yesterday, make a new plugin and put THIS_SCRIPT == 'private' and $root = your tab

Oh I see! So my logical next question is... Is there a list of vBulletin functions that use "THIS_SCRIPT"?

I also have the same problem with the forum Tab becoming active when I make my own menu for Settings (edit profile, edit avatar, etc...)

I hope my question is clear...

At the very bottom of your "footer" template, add this code:

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6) AND $this_script = THIS_SCRIPT">
	<div style="margin-left: 15px; font-weight: bold">
		<h2 class="blockhead"><b>Administrative Script/URI Information</b></h2>
		<div style="margin-bottom: 1em; border: 1px solid #CCCCCC; padding: 5px">
			<table>
				<tr>
					<td align="right">
						Script Name:&nbsp
					</td>
					<td>
						{vb:raw this_script}
					</td>
				</tr>
				<tr>
					<td align="right">
						Uniform Request Identifier:&nbsp
					</td>
					<td>
						{vb:raw $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']}
					</td>
				</tr>
			</table>
		</div>
	</div>
</vb:if>

The you and your administrators will see the value for THIS_SCRIPT and the URI data for every page.

Thanks I will give this a try. However, making a menu should not have to be so complicated...

You can make this into mod, or template modification, this is very useful code.

When viewing some cms pages I am seeing this:

[imported_polygrinder]

Is there any update on this nav system. I had it installed on my forum and I loved it. Just updated to 4.2.5 and now my complete nav sytem is hosed. I cannot create headings.

On the beta's. How do you install them. I don't understand what to do with the files in the "upload" folder.

Any help would be appreciated.
