NAVTAB Combo Drop-Menu with Sub-Items
I have seen several hack to add a NAVTAB menu item (we are talking about the main links). However, I had not ran across anything that would do exactly what I wanted. Here is what this does. Say you have a few pages you want a drop-down link (from the NAVTAB). For example, I have an add-on gallery. I wanted a single NAVTAB button called "GALLERY" but a drop-down to select the add on or VB Albums. There is documentation to cover that, however... Once the user clicks the drop-down menu, the NAVTAB "GALLERY" button is no longer "selected" and you do not have those nice sub-menu items. This little combo hack will do this. First, you must know the THIS_SCRIPT for the pages you will load with the drop-menu. Once you know this, you can add them to the THIS_SCRIPT area and do two comparisons. If you are not on one of the THIS_SCRIPT pages, the NAVTAB will be a drop-down. If you are on one of the THIS_SCRIPT pages, the NAVTAB will be a selected link with submenu items. Make a new plugin and add this code. Code:
global $template_hook; $tabselected = ''; $tablinks = ''; if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'DROP Page 1' || THIS_SCRIPT == 'Drop PAGE 2') { $vbulletin->options['selectednavtab']='droppage'; $tabselected = ' class="selected"'; $tablinks = ' <ul class="floatcontainer"> <li><a href="Sublink1.php">Sublink 1</a></li> <li><a href="Sublink2.php">Sublink 2</a></li> <li><a href="Sublink3.php">Sublink 3</a></li> <li><a href="Sublink4.php">Sublink 4</a></li>'; </ul>'; $template_hook['navtab_middle'] .= '<li'.$tabselected.'><a class="navtab" href="MainPage.php">Drop Links</a>'.$tablinks.'</li>'; } else { $template_hook['navtab_middle'] .= ' <li class="popupmenu"> <a href="javascript://" class="selected popupctrl navtab">Drop Links</a> <ul class="popupbody popuphover"> <li><a rel="album" href="droplink1.php">Drop Link 1</a></li> <li><a rel="gallery" href="droplink2.php">Drop Link 2</a></li> </ul></li>'; } |

This should be cleaner code no reason for an else in there.
Code:
$tabselected = ''; $tablinks = ''; if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'script1' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'script2') { $vbulletin->options['selectednavtab']='unique_name'; $tabselected = ' class="selected"'; $tablinks = '<ul class="floatcontainer"> <li><a href="link1.php">Link 1</a></li> <li><a href="link2.php">Link 2</a></li> </ul> '; } $template_hook['navtab_middle'] .= ' <li '.$tabselected.' class="popupmenu"> <a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl navtab">Members</a> <ul class="popupbody popuphover"> <li><a style="text-indent: 0px; color:#000000" href="link1.php">Link 1</a></li> <li><a style="color:#000000" href="link2.php">Link 2</a></li> </ul> '.$tablinks.'</li> '; |

I'd like to use this mod but I am very confused as to the definition of this_script.
does this_script refer to page name such as forum.php, forumdisplay.php, showthread.php, etc? is that what it means? I'd like to use the tabbed menu built into vb4 because I'm currently using a commercial product in my vb3.8 install. please help me understand. |
