Easy Navbar Links

Installation: Less than 3 minutes!

Installation instructions:

Go to your navbar template:

Styles and Templates > Style Manager > vB4 > Navigation Breadcrumb Templates > Navbar:

Find this code near the top:

<ul class="floatcontainer">
{vb:raw template_hook.navbar_start}

Above it add:

<!-- Navbar Links -->
<li class="non-selected"><a class="navtab" href="sample.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}">Sample</a></li>
<li class="non-selected"><a class="navtab" href="sample.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}">Sample</a></li>
<li class="non-selected"><a class="navtab" href="sample.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}">Sample</a></li>
<li class="non-selected"><a class="navtab" href="sample.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}">Sample</a></li>
<!-- / Navbar Links -->

Save and Reload.

OR...
You can use it this way and add links to the navbar with new posts and pm's, etc. in the sub-navbar!!

Find in the navbar template:

{vb:raw template_hook.navbar_start}
<vb:if condition="$show['searchbuttons']">

Add below:

<li><a href="sample.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}">Sample</a></li>
<li><a href="sample.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}">Sample</a></li>
<li><a href="sample.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}">Sample</a></li>
<li><a href="sample.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}">Sample</a></li>

Good point. I will update them when I get the chance.

Hi there,

Great article!

This is along the lines of a similar topic and I was wondering if you are able to give me some advice on the best way to replace the existing vBulletin Navbar tabs with the ddtabmenu style that I found at the Dynamic Drive website.

My questions are probably VERY basic so apologies up front.

1. Do I just make the changes outlined in the article at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/ddtabmenu.htm to the existing vBulletin template in Admin cp/Style Manager/Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates/navbar? In effect overwriting the original vBulletin templates?

2. Is the Admin cp/Style Manager/Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates/navbar the correct place to make such changes

3. Or do I make the changes to the downloaded files, and then upload these to the appropriate directory on my vBulletin website. Once this is done do I go to the Admin cp/Download Upload Styles/Import Style XML File and import the file? In effect creating a new template??

3. If I do 3 then is it a matter of setting this as the new default template?


Hope this all makes sense....


Thanks in advance,

[SuperTaz]

Let me update them first and then I will get back with you, KeithRichards. It will be a few days because of working a lot of hours.

Updated with new code for vB 4.0.x.

[GONUMBER6]

This did not work for me. It put the new navbar tabs mixed in with my regular ones. It did not create a separate tab bar. See picture.

Try this...

In Navbar After..

 <li><a href="search.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" accesskey="4">{vb:rawphrase advanced_search}</a></li>
        </ul>
</div>

ADD

<ul id="navtabs" class="navtabs floatcontainer">
<br />br /><br />
<!-- Navbar Links -->
<li class="non-selected"><a class="navtab" href="sample.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}">Sample</a></li>
<li class="non-selected"><a class="navtab" href="sample.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}">Sample</a></li>
<li class="non-selected"><a class="navtab" href="sample.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}">Sample</a></li>
<li class="non-selected"><a class="navtab" href="sample.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}">Sample</a></li>
<!-- / Navbar Links -->
</ul>

Seemed to do the trick for me!

[GONUMBER6]

I could not find that code you listed....

It does not create a separate tab bar only adds to the current one.

[GONUMBER6]

I see.... but it shows a separate tab bar in the screenshot.

Or am I missing something?

Where it says server stats, server slots, arcade, downloads, ect. ect.

This is what I was installing this mod for

[SuperTaz]

That is not for this mod. That is something I was toying around with. Directly underneath the large tabs in the second shot where it says, (sample, sample, sample, etc) is what the second part of the links do.
