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.

please update for vb 4.0 gold

i would suggest editing it to say minversion="4.0.0" maxversion="4.2.0" in order to get it work until the OP can update themselves.

That's what I did and then it worked on Gold.

Good mod, installed.

Maybe in your next update you keep the tab highlighted when it's used to redirect inside your website.

I edited the xml file to change the maxversion

[gillaraz]

Change the original to minversion="4.0" maxversion="4.2" It works !!

[Charlie98902]

Yep works just fine now. When you update form a previous VB I didn't get it but upon a new install you have to edit the xml.

Updated to work with vB4 Gold..

For the users that are asking to get tabs highlighted in custom pages, at this time it's not possible for me to do it. I haven't added any new feature, but I'm working in a new version that will make tabs more easily to add. However it will include 1 query, I think, I don´t know how many yet.

I will update this thread when this happen, but don't expect it to be released soon.

Cheers.

Dear Elmer,

First of all, great mod! Does its job and does it pretty easy. One thing though:

I've added some new tabs using your mod. However, when I'm on the Forums and I click on one of the new tabs, the Forum tab stays highlighted. Also, the page of the new tab doesn't have a title. Is this a known problem and do you know how to fix this?

Thank you in advance Elmer!
