Miscellaneous Hacks - vBH-Add new tabs

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.

Installed it fresh on our vB4.0.3 test forum and got the following error.

Warning: Unexpected character in input: ''' (ASCII=39) state=1 in /home/REDACTED/public_html/vb403test/includes/class_bootstrap.php(384) : eval()'d code on line 29

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/REDACTED/public_html/vb403test/includes/class_bootstrap.php(384) : eval()'d code on line 29

Hello Elmer!
Thanks for this great mod... I did run into one issue.

Unlike any of the other vBulletin forums I have seen, I have added links to forums in the main navbar.

I figured I could just copy the forumdisplay.php file over and over again (1-forumdisplay.php, 2-forumdisplay.php etc...) and change the THIS_SCRIPT assignment inside each page to match your "Tabs Selected" requirements in your mod. So I have several pages set up like this:
File name: 1-forumdisplay.php THIS_SCRIPT = 1-forumdisplay
File name: 2-forumdisplay.php THIS_SCRIPT = 2-forumdisplay
File name: 3-forumdisplay.php THIS_SCRIPT = 3-forumdisplay
etc...

and then in your mod settings:

Link Name|1-forumdisplay.php?1-forumdisplay=>self
Link Name|2-forumdisplay.php?2-forumdisplay=>self
Link Name|3-forumdisplay.php?3-forumdisplay=>self


The highlighting works great, however, the only problem now is that I get duplicate "Posting Permissions" blocks at the bottom. Have you ever seen this and do you possibly know of a quick fix?

Many thanks for any help or advice you could offer.

Confirmed here too, works fine under 4.0.3 (test board).
As quoted, make sure the product is installed AFTER the 4.0.3 upgrade.

Hey Trilogy... Do you have any idea how to link directly to forums from the navbar while using different "THIS_SCRIPT" assignments?

I have duplicated multiple forumdisplay.php files and hardcoded different values in to get the nav highlighting to work; however, it creates a duplicate "Posting Permissions" block at the bottom of these pages.

Thanks for any help you could offer.

No idea, sorry.
I just use the default set up with only one extra tab in use. Someone else may have some ideas.

Working perfectly for us with 4.0.3

Marked installed. Thanks Elmer!

I'm having troubles with linking to VBA CMPS Homepage...

My code is:

PHP Code:

Portal|http://www.emupt.com/index.php=>self 


Also, I've tried adding "adv_index" (as it is whats written on the index.php file) to the Tabs Selected box, but the tab still doesn't get selected.

I'm going nuts. Please help.

EDIT: no need. Used SSTAB, way easier and better.

[TeknoSounds]

Theres no need to use any tab modification for VBA CMPS, there is a builtin navbar tab in its options. See vbadvanced.com

[Dark_Wizard]

Any chance this mod can be made so that we get this?

I am trying to add a "Donate" tab to link to the mod "VSa - PayPal Donate". I added the following in the "add new tabs" box:

Donate|http://www.mysite.com/vbulletin/misc.php?do=donate

However, when clicking on the new tab, I get this link:

http://www.mysite.com/vbulletin/misc.php?do

The "=donate" phrase is truncated which causes the wrong script to run. Since others have reported successfully integrating both of these mods, I would appreciate if someone could point out what I am doing wrong.
