Template Edits
Code Changes

Hi there, everyone!

Prior to the vBulletin 4.0 upgrade, I had these neat little icons in the navigation bar of my v 3.8 forum's theme. Since I upgraded the forums, I wanted to put these icons back once again. However, with the rewrite of the whole code, I was at a complete loss as to where to make these changes.

After a lot of searching and hit and trial, however, I did manage to come up with something that suited my needs. So I thought I'd write an article myself, with the hope that it would help others trying to do something similar.

These template modifications allow you to add icons to the tabs in the Navigation Bar, right below the logo, as shown in the image below:



I'll stick with the default Navigation Bar tabs, i.e. Home, Forum, Blogs and What's New. Although you may use images of any size, but since I did not want to meddle too much with the default design / layout, I resized all the images to 24px ? 24px.

Note: I have colour coded all code edits / additions in red to make it easier to see what has been added.

Note: You may find instructions for vB 4.1.2 over here.
------------------------------

"Home" Tab: (2 modifications needed in only 1 template)

In your Admin Control Panel (ACP), go to:

ACP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Double arrows on the right of the style you want to edit (Expand Templates) > vBulletin CMS Templates > vbcms_navbar_link

Here, look for the following code:

Code:
<vb:if condition="$vboptions['selectednavtab'] == 'vbcms'">
<li class="selected">
    <a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw vboptions.site_tab_url}{vb:raw  session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase site}</a>
Replace this with:

Code:
<vb:if condition="$vboptions['selectednavtab'] == 'vbcms'">
<li class="selected">
    <a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw vboptions.site_tab_url}{vb:raw  session.sessionurl_q}"><img src="path_of_image"  border="0" align="top" alt="" /> {vb:rawphrase  site}</a>
Now find:

Code:
<vb:else />
    <li><a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw  vboptions.site_tab_url}{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase  site}</a></li>
Replace with:

Code:
<vb:else />
    <li><a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw  vboptions.site_tab_url}{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}"><img src="path_of_image" border="0" align="top" alt="" /> {vb:rawphrase  site}</a></li>
Remember to press "Save" after making these changes to the template.
------------------------------

"Forum" Tab: (3 modifications needed in only 1 template)

In your Admin Control Panel (ACP), go to:

ACP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Double arrows on the right of the style you want to edit (Expand Templates) > Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates > navbar

Here, look for the following code:

Code:
<vb:if condition="!$vboptions['selectednavtab'] AND THIS_SCRIPT  != 'search'">
            <li class="selected"><a class="navtab"  href="{vb:raw vboptions.forumhome}.php{vb:raw  session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase forum}</a>
Replace this with:

Code:
<vb:if condition="!$vboptions['selectednavtab'] AND THIS_SCRIPT  != 'search'">
            <li class="selected"><a class="navtab"  href="{vb:raw vboptions.forumhome}.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}"><img src="path_of_image" border="0" align="top" alt="" /> {vb:rawphrase  forum}</a>
Now find:

Code:
<vb:elseif condition="$vboptions['selectednavtab']=='usercp'"  />
            <li class="selected"><a class="navtab"  href="{vb:raw vboptions.forumhome}.php{vb:raw  session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase forum}</a>
Replace with:

Code:
<vb:elseif condition="$vboptions['selectednavtab']=='usercp'"  />
            <li class="selected"><a class="navtab"  href="{vb:raw vboptions.forumhome}.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}"><img src="path_of_image" border="0" align="top" alt="" /> {vb:rawphrase  forum}</a>
Finally find:

Code:
<vb:else />
            <li><a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw  vboptions.forumhome}.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase  forum}</a></li>
Replace with:

Code:
<vb:else />
            <li><a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw  vboptions.forumhome}.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}"><img src="path_of_image" border="0" align="top" alt="" /> {vb:rawphrase  forum}</a></li>

I have a question:
Is it possible that I can see all 4 Images, no matter in which of those 4 tabs I am?
Because if I use the CMS for example, I can only see the home button (and not the other ones)
when I use the Forum, I can only see the forum button (and not the other ones)
I guess it needs more templates to edit, but which ones?

With best regards
BioWaffen

I'm going to guess, no. I could not find the complete code needed in 4.1 PL2

An example is my vbcms_navbar_link seems different.

PHP Code:
<vb:if condition="$vboptions['selectednavtab'] == 'vbcms'">
<li class="selected">
    <vb:if condition="$vboptions['vbcms_url']">
        <a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw vboptions.vbcms_url}{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase site}</a>
    <vb:else />
        <a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw vboptions.site_tab_url}{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase site}</a>
    </vb:if>
    <ul class="floatcontainer">
        {vb:raw template_hook.vbcms_navbar_start}
        <vb:if condition="$links">
            <vb:each from="links" value="link">
                <li><a href="{vb:raw link.url}">{vb:raw link.title}</a></li>
            </vb:each>
        <vb:else />
            <li class="hidden">&nbsp;</li>
        </vb:if>
        {vb:raw template_hook.vbcms_navbar_end}
    </ul>
</li>
<vb:else />
    <li>
    <vb:if condition="$vboptions['vbcms_url']">
        <a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw vboptions.vbcms_url}{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase site}</a>
    <vb:else />
        <a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw vboptions.site_tab_url}{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase site}</a>
    </vb:if>
    </li>
</vb:if>

Installed (kind of)

4.1.1

I have all the icons listed showing, except the HOME icon only shows on the CMS page & no where else.

Will attempt to learn how to apply this on a few other tabs I have.

Ok, I'll be honest with you guys. I have not upgraded to 4.1.1 (still at 4.0.6), so can't really test this anymore but I'll try to guide you guys a bit in the hope that you'll be able to manage the rest.

"Home" Tab:

In your Admin Control Panel (ACP), go to:

ACP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Double arrows on the right of the style you want to edit (Expand Templates) > vBulletin CMS Templates > vbcms_navbar_link

In this template, look for the text {vb:rawphrase site} and insert the code given below BEFORE this text, wherever and as many times as you find it.

Code:
<img src="path_of_image" border="0" align="top" alt="" />
Remember to press "Save" after making these changes to the template.
------------------------------

"Forum" Tab:

In your Admin Control Panel (ACP), go to:

ACP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Double arrows on the right of the style you want to edit (Expand Templates) > Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates > navbar

In this template, look for the text {vb:rawphrase forum} and insert the code given below BEFORE this text, wherever and as many times as you find it.

Code:
<img src="path_of_image" border="0" align="top" alt="" />
Remember to press "Save" after making these changes to the template.
------------------------------

"Blogs" Tab:

In your Admin Control Panel (ACP), go to:

ACP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Double arrows on the right of the style you want to edit (Expand Templates) > Blog Templates > blog_navbar_link

In this template, look for the text {vb:rawphrase blogs} and insert the code given below BEFORE this text, wherever and as many times as you find it.

Code:
<img src="path_of_image" border="0" align="top" alt="" />
Remember to press "Save" after making these changes to the template.
------------------------------

"What's New" Tab:

In your Admin Control Panel (ACP), go to:

ACP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Double arrows on the right of the style you want to edit (Expand Templates) > Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates > navbar

In this template, look for the text {vb:rawphrase getnew_tab} and insert the code given below BEFORE this text, wherever and as many times as you find it.

Code:
<img src="path_of_image" border="0" align="top" alt="" />
Remember to press "Save" after making these changes to the template.
