Can I change a cpnav group phrase by php ?

Typically you'd use a "Manage Contests" link, rather than having dynamic navigation (vBulletin wasn't really built for that).

Updating the phrase works (ideally as a translation*) as well.

If you want to do it dynamically, create a new plugin at the admin_index_navigation hook with something like this:

PHP Code:

$newnavigation = array();

foreach ($navigation as $grouporder => $groups)
{
   foreach ($groups as $groupname => $contents)
   {
       $newnavigation[$grouporder][$groupname] = array(
           'group'   => $contents['group'],
           'options' => array()
       );
       foreach ($contents['options'] as $linkorder => $linkinfo)
       {
           list($text, $link) = each($linkinfo);
           if ($groupname == 'Group Name' and $text == 'Old Text')
           {
               $text = 'New Title';
               $link['text'] = $text;
           }
           $newnavigation[$grouporder][$groupname]['options'][$linkorder][$text] = $link;
       }
   }
}

$navigation = $newnavigation; 


I've used "Your Group", "Old Text" and "New Title" as placeholders... you should edit them accordingly. You could also use this method to dynamically add to the navigation depending on what exists in the database.
