[HOW TO - vB4] Create a New Tab in the navbar (with template)

[RiskyBusin3ss]

Hello,
I am a newbie, please help. Where do I create a template and how am I going to upload to my site.
Second, how do I suppose to "Create a plugin at the hook process_templates_complete" with PHP codes.

I am just really lost and do not know where to begin. Thank you.

Just wanted to say that i used a hybrid between yours and Lynne's walkthrough. I offloaded just the menu items to a template. Thanks for the help ragtek!

Awesome! Thanks for this! Was slightly confused til I tried Lynne's instructions with adding a tab, then I came back to this one and understood (been away from vBulletin for quite awhile)

<ul class="floatcontainer">
<li><a href="#">#</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<vb:else />
<li><a class="navtab" href="{vb:raw vboptions.homeurl}">{vb:raw vboptions.hometitle}</a></li>
</vb:if>

Enjoy!

Exactly what I was looking for.

This is a great tutorial! Does anyone know how I can retain the sublinks that show just below the tab bar on the forum tab, across all active tabs?

hi, great tutorial.

little question
my custom page is a clone of content that displays a list of articles on a given section, how can i make those links to point to my page 'news.php' instead of the default 'content.php'?

regards

Is this as easy as adding a Drop down menu, I see those a lot

I tried this but nothing is showing. All I want is a button linking to another website :erm:
