chances are very less, because all the links inside menu generated through navigation manager has id in range of (20 - 50 +), so one can use any id between 1-20 for links inside menu. (per menu).

A higher number will be much better (ex: 1001)

OR

Get the last navid of link in menu.

PHP Code:

$lastnavid = array_pop(array_keys($result['vbtab_forum']['links']['vbmenu_qlinks']['links']));
$lastnavid = $result['vbtab_forum']['links']['vbmenu_qlinks']['links'][$lastnavid]['navid']; 


So, last code which i gave to one of the user will be like this

PHP Code:

if (vB::$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])  
{ 
$userid = vB::$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']; 
$lastnavid = array_pop(array_keys($result['vbtab_forum']['links']['vbmenu_qlinks']['links']));
$lastnavid = $result['vbtab_forum']['links']['vbmenu_qlinks']['links'][$lastnavid]['navid'];

$lien_messujets = array(   
        'name' => 'rescue_messujets',   
        'navtype' => 'link',   
        'url' => '{options.toppath}search.php?do=finduser&userid='.$userid.'&starteronly=1&contenttype=vBForum_Thread',  
        'active' => 1,   
        'text' => 'Mes sujets', 
        'productid' => 'vbulletin',
        'navid' => $lastnavid++   
    );   
$lien_mesmessages = array(  
    'name' => 'rescue_mesmessages',  
    'navtype' => 'link',  
    'url' => '{options.toppath}search.php?do=finduser&userid='.$userid.'&starteronly=1&contenttype=vBForum_Post&showposts=1',
    'active' => 1,  
    'productid' => 'vbulletin',  
    'text' => 'Mes messages',
    'navid' => $lastnavid++ 
);  
$lien_mesannonces = array(  
    'name' => 'rescue_commu_annonces',  
    'navtype' => 'link',  
    'url' => '{options.toppath}member.php?u='.$userid.'&tab=afficher_annonces', 
    'active' => 1,  
    'productid' => 'vbulletin',  
    'text' => 'Mes annonces',
    'navid' => $lastnavid++  
);  
     
$result['vbtab_forum']['links']['vbmenu_qlinks']['links']['rescue_messujets'] = $lien_messujets; 
$result['vbtab_forum']['links']['vbmenu_qlinks']['links']['rescue_commu_annonces'] = $lien_mesannonces; 
$result['vbtab_forum']['links']['vbmenu_qlinks']['links']['rescue_mesmessages'] = $lien_mesmessages; 
unset($userid); 
}

What I need to know is how to use the $vbulletin options in a url in the navigation manager

[Paul M]

{options.optionname}

I know of...

• {options.__}
• {session.__}
• {userinfo.__}

What else is available?
Can we have custom objects?

Thanks!

Kym

Edit: Found the answer in the code.
See: function process_navigation_linkvars($url) in ./includes/functions.php
Anything in $GLOBALS or in $vbulletin->object where object is options, userinfo etc.

1- I want add a new Tab, what shoup i put in Tab Script(s) ?

2- I want add a menu and link only for Users Awaiting Moderation, what shoud i put in Show Permission Name ?

[AusPhotography]

We use Photopost vBgallery and it runs in a different root path to the forum...
eg: ./forurm vs ./gallery
As a result any relative paths in the Tabs fail when in the Gallery unless you do some edits in the Navigation Manager.

I've built an interim product file for vBgallery 3.01 that has support for the new vB4.2.0 navigation. (I can't post it due to (c) reasons).

Chuck @ Photopost has my code and will release an update for vBgallery (soon-ish I hope)

The name of the php script that makes the tab the active tab. The script must supply it's name with this code...

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'thenameofthescript');

I don't think there's a standard $show variable for that usergroup so you would need to create a custom one in a plugin. Call it something like... uamod ...and put that in the Show Permission Name. The create a plugin with this code...

if(is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo,3))
{
	$show['uamod'] = true;
}

That code can be used in either the 'parse_templates' or the 'process_templates_complete' hook.

Hey guys. I am having an issue with some Show Permissions. I have successfully gotten some working, creating the hook for each special usergroup, however when I add them together, so say I want usergroups X, Y, and Z to see a link, each having a separate $show variable in the hook I have created, when I combine them such as "showx.showy.showz" this seems to make the link appear only if a user is in ALL groups. Is there a character I am supposed to use aside from the dot to create an "or" combination versus and "and" combination? Thanks!
