NavBar question / how to

[Starwind]

Hello there

I am running the latest Vbulletin + Vbadvanced and im struggling with the Navbar


I have an Vbulletin add that let me easy edit the Navbar, what to have there etc

I removed Whats New, and added Vbadvanced on "Home"

altho when i go to "Home" the Whats news comes visible, also shows like the forum is highlited

Is the Navbar addon

Check the images for better explaination.

So basically how do i fix this?

I do not believe that plugin is compatible with CMPS

That should be compatible with the CMPS... How exactly did you remove the "What's New" link?

[Dragonsys]

that addon uses a preg_replace to hide the What's New tab

PHP Code:

    if ($vbulletin->options['evbs_sstab_advanced_del_whatsnews'])
    {
        $vbulletin->templatecache['navbar']= preg_replace(
        '#(<li>|<li\s*class="selected">)*<a\s*class="navtab"\s*href="search\.php\?\'\s*\.\s*\$session\[\'sessionurl\'\]\s*\.\s*\'do=\w+&amp;contenttype=\w+"\s*accesskey="\d">\'\s*\.\s*vB_Template_Runtime::parsePhrase\("\w*"\)\s*\.\s*\'</a>(</li>)*#i',
        '',$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar']);
    } 


and I'm pretty sure that it does not play properly with CMPS without modification. Most of the Tab mods don't.

it's easiest to create your own plugin to hide the What's New tab with the below code:

$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar'] = str_replace('><a class="navtab" href="search.php',' style="display:none"><a class="navtab" href="search.php',$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar']);

in process_templates_complete

This works with CMPS very well.

the reason why i kinda wanted a mod to edit the navbar was to remove the whats new tab, but also add more stuff to it, an as i have no idea on coding or anything like that im kinda screwed i guess?

Thanks Dragonsys

Will use that to hide What's New tab

[Dragonsys]

There are other products on vb.org which work with CMPS, I don't recall which ones off the top of my head, and I think you have to scroll through the comments to find them :/

That does work well, but when you upgrade vBulletin, it might overwrite your changes. The best route is to use a plugin:

1. AdminCp -> Plugins & Products -> Add New Plugin
2. Fill in the following info (screenshot attached):

A. Product = vBulletin
B. Hook Location = process_templates_complete
C. Title = Whatever you want (I use hide_tabs)
D. Execution Order = 5
E. Plugin PHP Code =

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar'] = str_replace('><a class="navtab" href="search.php',' style="display:none"><a class="navtab" href="search.php',$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar']); 


F. Plugin is Active = Yes

3. Save

This will hide the What's New Tab
