I know that lynne allready postet an article, but here's a other way:

This tutorial will show you, how to add own links to your navbar.
(In the tutorial i'll use the code for my news add-on)


1. create a template (ragtek_news_navbar)
HTML Code:
<vb:if condition="$vboptions['selectednavtab'] == 'ragteknews'">
<li class="selected">
    <a class="navtab" href="news.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase ragtek_news}</a>
<ul class="floatcontainer">
<li><a href="#">#</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<vb:else />
<li><a class="navtab" href="news.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase ragtek_news}</a></li>
</vb:if>
2. Create a plugin at the hook process_templates_complete
PHP Code:
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'xxx')  // also defined('ragteknews') possible
{
//set selected tab
    $vbulletin->options['selectednavtab'] = 'ragteknews';
}
// add the "subtemplate" to the navbartemplate
$template_hook['navtab_middle'] .= vB_Template::create('ragtek_news_navbar')->render();
As you see, i've defined "ragteknews" on my news.php page.If ragteknews is defined, $vbulletion->options['selectednavtab'] will be set to ragteknews.
Thats important because where using a condition in the template:
HTML Code:
<vb:if condition="$vboptions['selectednavtab'] == 'ragteknews'">

Can I ask where do you place the plugin?

In truth I am getting a bit lost with this, why can't the CMS simply place links where you want them, I like subdreamer's way of doing this I think!
