Then change the Easy Forms - Forms Tab (Process Templates Complete) hook code to read:

if ($vbulletin->options['af_navbar'])
{
	if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'articles')
	{
		$vbulletin->options['selectednavtab'] = 'articles'; 
	}
	else if (($vbulletin->GPC['forumid']) && (in_array($vbulletin->GPC['forumid'], explode(',', $vbulletin->options['af_allarticleforums']))))
	{
		$vbulletin->options['selectednavtab'] = 'articles'; 
	}
	
	$templater = vB_Template::create('af_navbar');
	$template_hook['navtab_middle'] .= $templater->render();
}

A very nasty hacky way of doing it, but I am trying to avoid rewriting the core of the mod

How to set up that option in the admincp?

When try to read, add or promote a thread or post to an article there is an error massage show. It's here:

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type vB_Legacy_Thread as array in /.../.../.../.../public_html/forum/packages/vbcms/content.php(985) : eval()'d code on line 25

Still the error stays. This 2 add-ons are both important for me. I use artcile forumsa as a different way. Is there a way to fix this conflict?
