Add Icons to the Navigation Bar Tabs
Developer Last Online: Oct 2022
Hi there, everyone!
Prior to the vBulletin 4.0 upgrade, I had these neat little icons in the navigation bar of my v 3.8 forum's theme. Since I upgraded the forums, I wanted to put these icons back once again. However, with the rewrite of the whole code, I was at a complete loss as to where to make these changes. After a lot of searching and hit and trial, however, I did manage to come up with something that suited my needs. So I thought I'd write an article myself, with the hope that it would help others trying to do something similar. These template modifications allow you to add icons to the tabs in the Navigation Bar, right below the logo, as shown in the image below: I'll stick with the default Navigation Bar tabs, i.e. Home, Forum, Blogs and What's New. Although you may use images of any size, but since I did not want to meddle too much with the default design / layout, I resized all the images to 24px ? 24px. Note: I have colour coded all code edits / additions in red to make it easier to see what has been added. Note: You may find instructions for vB 4.1.2 over here. ------------------------------ "Home" Tab: (2 modifications needed in only 1 template) In your Admin Control Panel (ACP), go to: ACP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Double arrows on the right of the style you want to edit (Expand Templates) > vBulletin CMS Templates > vbcms_navbar_link Here, look for the following code: Code:
<vb:if condition="$vboptions['selectednavtab'] == 'vbcms'"> <li class="selected"> <a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw vboptions.site_tab_url}{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase site}</a> Code:
<vb:if condition="$vboptions['selectednavtab'] == 'vbcms'"> <li class="selected"> <a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw vboptions.site_tab_url}{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}"><img src="path_of_image" border="0" align="top" alt="" /> {vb:rawphrase site}</a> Code:

I cant find in the navbar template this code...
I have vBulletin Version 4.1.2 Code:
<vb:elseif condition="$vboptions['selectednavtab']=='usercp'" /> <li class="selected"><a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw vboptions.forumhome}.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase forum}</a> |

I find some bugs. If not logged in site the tabs Home-Forum-Whats New no show any icon. If logged show all icons but if go to the Forum Tab not show Forum and Home Tab icon

That is probably because you have not inserted the image code in all places required in the template. Please note that the instructions say:
In this template, look for the text {vb:rawphrase site} and insert the code given below BEFORE this text, wherever and as many times as you find it. I would suggest you redoing the changes outlined in the article. |
