in news.php i have

PHP Code:

define(ragteknews, true); 


what is very important but i think that it could be solves without
template:

PHP Code:

<template name="ragtek_news_navbar" templatetype="template" date="1258595041" username="ragtek" version="1.0.0">
- <![CDATA[ <vb:if condition="$vboptions['selectednavtab'] == 'ragteknews'">
<li class="selected">
    <a class="navtab" href="news.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase ragtek_news}</a>
<ul class="floatcontainer">
<li><a href="#">#</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<vb:else />
<li><a class="navtab" href="news.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase ragtek_news}</a></li>
</vb:if>
  ]]> 
  </template> 


plugin at hook process_templates_complete

PHP Code:

if (defined('ragteknews'))
{
    $vbulletin->options['selectednavtab'] = 'ragteknews';
}
$template_hook['navtab_middle'] .= vB_Template::create('ragtek_news_navbar')->render();

Still tinkering around with this. Is it possible to define the selectednavtab for a CMS page to use with this method? For example if my news.php page was part of the CMS such as http://www.mydomain.com/content.php?5-news where would I define define(news, true); ?

<vb:if condition="$vboptions['selectednavtab'] == 'news'">

or is there a different condition I could use based on the "5-news" perhaps...

atm i don't know this, sorry.

i wish this would be possible with vB4 ( http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...07#post1852507 )^^

Your template works like a charm for my non-CMS pages - thanks for that! I will have to leave News down in the submenu bar for now and hope that they improve the ability to manage the navbar in upcoming releases.

Fantastic! Thank you for sharing. It was the only missing to finish microSUPPORT for vB4. Works like a charm and I don't have wrong highlight problems.
