How do I add a tab for custom content?

[K4GAP]

I want to add a menu tab using the Navigation Manager that will display a custom html page I've created. I've done it before but I'm having a brain block this morning ;/

Wake me up?

Thanks'

I assume by menu tab, youran a drop tab.

1) Create a tab.
2) Create a menu for the tab.
3) Edit the tab and find the setting, "Target Menu" select the menu you just created, click on save.
4) Add links to the menu you created, these are what will show up as the dropdown items in the tab.

No, I mean a navtab.

What about the "custom page" I want to have shown when that tab is clicked?

The custom page is simply a page with an iframe in it that that shows a page from one of my other sites. So, it's going to look integrated thus, the purpose of an iframe ;0

How do you get to the custom page now?

[Lynne]

Does the custom page exist? If so, then link to it through the Navigation Manager (you can link to php or html or whatever kind of server pages you want). If you need help with the custom page, then say so because it didn't sound like that was the issue in the first post.

Lynne the problem is when I create a navtab and link it to the custom page, it opens in a new window. I want it to open within the framework of vbulletin.

[Lynne]

Do you have the option Open in New Page set to No?

If, when you say you want it to "open within the framework of vbulletin", do you mean it doesn't *look* like a vbulletin page, but instead looks like some custom page? If so, that is because you need to follow the instructions here to make it look like a vbulletin page.

[K4GAP]

Yes, I have it set to No. The page I want to open does not match my style and I'm ok with that because that's something I can tackle later. It is from TNG which is site building software for genealogists. I have scaled down the page so it will fit within my vb style which has a width of 1000px. This is the page.



This is where I want it to end up when called for with a link from a vb navtab.......
