I have vB 4.2.0 BETA 1 running in my test system.

Products that use templates/hooks to integrate with the navbar will need the following changes to work with the Navigation Manager.

Please post code snips and hints in this thread, we are all on a learning curve.

1. Remove old style navigation hooks/templates etc.

2. Create a new <navigation> section in the product XML file
(You can create the navigation in the navigation manager, linked to a product then export the product file as a skeleton)

3. Set any conditionals in a hook or in your main code
Eg. $show['apmgtug'] = true; is set for one of the menu items in my example
My example relies on $show['member'] = true; as well.
Leave the <show> tag empty for 'public' tabs/links

4. If you have multiple scripts, leave <scripts> blank and set $root at the new hooks set_navigation_tab_fallaback or set_navigation_tab_vbview

Code:
if (<some condition>) $root= '<name of tab>';
I hope that helps you get a quick leg up for this change.

I would probably have a new vB4.2 code base because of the differences, you could have the same code base with some sort of version check.

In the end the new navigation integration is better and easier.

Here are sample <navigation> from one of my own plugins...

Code:
	<navigation>
		<tab name="aptab_competition" date="1337135420" username="APcompetition" version="3.0.0">
			<active>1</active>
			<show>member</show>
			<scripts>apcompetition</scripts>
			<displayorder>30</displayorder>
			<url><![CDATA[apcompetition.php{session.sessionurl_q}]]></url>
		</tab>
		<link name="aplink_enter" date="1337135420" username="APcompetition" version="3.0.0">
			<active>1</active>
			<show>member</show>
			<parent>aptab_competition</parent>
			<displayorder>20</displayorder>
			<url><![CDATA[apcompetition.php{session.sessionurl_q}]]></url>
		</link>
		<link name="aplink_search" date="1337135420" username="APcompetition" version="3.0.0">
			<active>1</active>
			<show>member</show>
			<parent>aptab_competition</parent>
			<displayorder>40</displayorder>
			<url><![CDATA[apcompetition.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=search&apmycomps=1]]></url>
		</link>
		<link name="aplink_performance" date="1337135420" username="APcompetition" version="3.0.0">
			<active>1</active>
			<show>member</show>
			<parent>aptab_competition</parent>
			<displayorder>60</displayorder>
			<url><![CDATA[apcompetition.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=performance]]></url>
		</link>
		<link name="aplink_fame" date="1337135420" username="APcompetition" version="3.0.0">
			<active>1</active>
			<show>apmgtug</show>
			<parent>aptab_competition</parent>
			<displayorder>80</displayorder>
			<url><![CDATA[apcompetition.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=finalvotereport]]></url>
		</link>
	</navigation>
Sample phrases the give the text of the navigation items.
Code:
		<phrasetype name="GLOBAL" fieldname="global">
			<phrase name="vb_navigation_tab_aptab_competition_text" date="1336964077" username="APcompetition" version="3.0.0"><![CDATA[Competitions]]></phrase>
			<phrase name="vb_navigation_link_aplink_enter_text" date="1336964077" username="APcompetition" version="3.0.0"><![CDATA[Enter a Competition]]></phrase>
			<phrase name="vb_navigation_link_aplink_search_text" date="1336964077" username="APcompetition" version="3.0.0"><![CDATA[Search Competitions]]></phrase>
			<phrase name="vb_navigation_link_aplink_performance_text" date="1336964077" username="APcompetition" version="3.0.0"><![CDATA[My Performance]]></phrase>
			<phrase name="vb_navigation_link_aplink_fame_text" date="1336964077" username="APcompetition" version="3.0.0"><![CDATA[Hall of Fame]]></phrase>
		</phrasetype>

Pull down menu's can also be coded.
Have a look at the vB source for examples.
Specifically "./install/vbulletin-navigation.xml"

I see... This mod says it allows for drop down menus from Navtabs.

That is not a default feature in the new Navigation Manager.

I didnt say anything about a drop down menu, there is no such option as that.

Yeah, I saw that a couple of days ago. I was hoping that maybe some of that got incorporated in the new system.

But, for now creating a tab using the old navtab_end hook and template still works for those type of tabs.

However, bear in mind that no link will mean the system redirects you to your site default, so you may want to direct it (the tab) to something like forum.php.
OK, here is what I'd like to do (see attachment)

I added forum.php to a Special Access tab, but it still highlights the forum tab.

In Navigation Manager after you add the Tab "Paid Mods" you go to the drop down menu for "Paid Mods" and choose "Add Link" from the menu.

Each one of those options (Free Mods, Styles, etc...) is a Link I added via "Add Link."

You will need to turn on the append tabid option for that tab.

Or add to Tab Script(s) setting. That was all I have to do to get the tab to highlight.

Nope, with Andreas' add-on you can now do drop-down links with tabs.

Please see:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=283146
and
https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/show...t-Tab-in-4-2-0

The way I'm ding it is via a <navigation> section of my product files and only setting $show variables to control their display.
