vBCMPS Keeps Redirecting

[metalguy639]

How do I turn off the stupid redirect on vb 4.2??? Somehow no matter what I do vbcmps is redirecting back to the page that I set for it. I'm thinking this has something to do with the now built in navigation system, but I cannot find how to make it all work together.

Set the default tab in the Nav Manager to what page you want to actually display

Sorry you do not understand what I'm saying. When I go to the url of the page that I created for a vbcmps page it redirects me to whatever link is set to default in the navigation manager. It does NOT go to the page.

Are you using vB's new navigation manager to add a link to your CMPS page? If so, try removing that and use the default settings that come with the CMPS to add your navbar link.

No I'm not using the navigation system to go to the page. I do not even have the page as a tab on the navigational menu. I'm typing in the page url as it should be for CMPS. Its redirecting back to the forum home page every time. I put "/index.php?pageid=advertising" on the end of the url and it redirects back to the page set as the default for the navigational menu. I have the word "advertising" set as the page identifier.

I've set up many vbadvanced CMPS sites so I'm either missing something that has to do with vb4 or there is a problem in the script that does not play nice with the built in vb4 redirect system.

EDIT: When I allow CMPS to add the navbar link it adds the link but then does the same thing. It redirects back to the forumhome page and does NOT go to the actual page.

Which site are you having this problem on?

this does not work properly with vB 4.2, as the submenu's overlap & the CMPS Tabs are selected along with the main Forum tab

The problem is that CMPS does not play nice with the Nav Manager in vB 4.2. You have to setup the CMPS Tabs by using the vB Nav Manager, using a combination of the THIS_SCRIPT setting & add parent tab ID to link settings.

The redirect with the Nav Manager happens when the Activity Page is set as the default you can see this link for more information

Dragonsys - This has been corrected in the download package here. You can fix that by adding a new plugin with the following values:

Product: vBadvanced CMPS
Hook Location: navigation_tab_complete
Title: Nav Tab
Execution Order: 5
Plugin PHP Code:

PHP Code:

if (VBA_SCRIPT == 'CMPS')
{
    $tabid = 0;
} 


Plugin is Active: Yes

Sweet, I will get that updated on my site then.
Sorry, I missed where this was announced.

This doesn't work, when you have other Plugins installed. For example, I have vbprograrage installed and with youy plugin above active, when I browse CMPS the Tab for the Garage is highlighted, along with CMPS.

I disable your plugin, and the tabs work as I expect (as long as I have manually created the tabs for CMPS)
I can give you access to my test install so you can see it for yourself if you wish, just let me know and I will open a Ticket with all of the info.
