sorry guys, youre on your own with this mod.
i am off to greener pastures; xenforo.com
==================================

update (dec 2011) it appears another coder has made some changes to this mod and made them available. this may fix some issues you are having with this mod.

==================================
this mod is intended for vb4 and its default header navigation template set. if you try to use this on a third-party template set, youre on your own.

quickstart:

in the admin cp under the section 'Tabs vbSoporte' (in the left frame)...

-config - use to turn off/on the default vb tabs, such as forum, whats new, blogs, etc or to turn off the mod, or to change the number of allow/not allow columns to show.

-menu tabs - create a tab for the menu, and decide how it will function.
click 'add new tab' at the bottom and bring up the following
-----tab label - this is the name of the tab, and the text that will appear on the nav tab.
-----this tab is a menu- if you want the tab to activate a drop down list of links, select yes. if you want it to function as a link to a page, leave it set to no.
-----url- if you want this tab to link to a page, enter the url here. if this tab will activate a drop-down menu, leave this blank.
-----tab mode- there are 3 ways to decide how the tabs become 'highlighted', in a selected state:
---------this_script- the most reliable method is to enter the ''this_script' information and select this option. there are cases where tabs will interfere with one another and result in multiple tabs being selected at one time. this is a 'this_script conflict', so you may need to try a url option.
--------url- to instead use the url to enter a selected state, enter an absolute url (ie http://www.example.com/forum/memberlist.php). relative urls (ie /memberlist.php) will fail. do not enter anything into the 'this script' field. (currently bugged)
---------url_parameter- if your url contains parameters (somepage.php?action=1&etc), you will need to select this option. to enter a selected state, enter an absolute url (ie http://www.example.com/forum/memberl...p?action=1&etc). relative urls (ie /memberlist.php) will fail. do not enter anything into the 'this script' field. (currently bugged)
-----set the this_script value- if youre using the 'this_script' method, enter the information here, ie arcade. if you are instead using the one of the url options, leave this blank.
-----target- determines if the link should open a new window or not. _self=same window, _blank=new window. if you are attempting to use javascript* to open a new window you may want to leave this set to _self if extra windows open.
-----allow/not allow- you can make tabs visible to admin-only, invisible for the unregistered, etc.
-----tab is active- you can turn off a tab if need be
-----tab position- use this to position a tabs location on the nav bar relative to the default vb tabs.
-----display order- within each tab position, in what order will these tabs appear in the navigation bar? enter a numeric value. lower numbers appear first, a tab with an order of 10 will appear before one with an order of 20.
*you can set multiple tabs' display orders in one shot on the main menu tab page. remember to click 'save changes' when youre finished.

-drop-down items- if you selected tab is a menu=yes when creating a tab. you can enter its menu items here. a drop-down menu tab and its menu items are not expected to select/highlight.
click 'add item' at the bottom and bring up the following
-----parent tab- which tab is this a menu item for? select it from the list. if the tab is not listed, check to make sure you set its 'tab is a menu' option to yes.
-----menu text- what you want the link to say on the menu.
-----url- the page you want to link to
-----target- determines if the link should open a new window or not. _self=same window, _blank=new window. if you are attempting to use javascript* to open a new window you may want to leave this set to _self if extra windows open.
-----allow/not allow- you can make tabs visible to admin-only, invisible for the unregistered, etc.
-----menu item active- you can turn off a menu item if need be
-----display order- in what order will these tabs appear in the drop down menu? enter a numeric value. lower numbers appear first, a tab with an order of 10 will appear before one with an order of 20.
*you can set multiple menu items' display orders in one shot on the main menu item page. remember to click 'save changes' when youre finished.

-nav sub-links- if you want a horizontal row of links to appear under the tabs when clicking a tab and navigating to a particular page, you may add them here. in order for sub-links to appear, the parent tab must be in a selected state. if you havent managed to get the tab to appear highlighted, your sub-links will not appear.
click 'add item' at the bottom and bring up the following
-----parent tab- which tab is this a sub-link item for? select it from the list. if the tab is not listed, check to make sure you set its 'tab is a menu' option to no.
-----menu text- what you want the link to say on the sub nav bar.
-----url- the page you want to link to
-----target- determines if the link should open a new window or not. _self=same window, _blank=new window. if you are attempting to use javascript* to open a new window you may want to leave this set to _self if extra windows open.
-----allow/not allow- you can make links visible to admin-only, invisible for the unregistered, etc.
-----menu item active- you can turn off a link item if need be
-----display order- in what order will these links appear in the sub nav bar? enter a numeric value. lower numbers appear first, a tab with an order of 10 will appear before one with an order of 20.
*you can set multiple menu items' display orders in one shot on the main nav sub-links item page. remember to click 'save changes' when youre finished.

*about launching javascript windows: RK1gaming found he could get a tab to launch a javascript window by using the following injection as the tab url:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

leave 'target = _self'. this is an unsupported use, but it appears to work.

here are THIS_SCRIPT for things

• vbadvanced home - adv_index
• ispy - vaispy
• vbcms 'content.php' - vbcms
• PhotoPost - ppindex
• links and downloads manager - local_links
• ibProArcade - arcade

to find a this_script:
open the php file (locally, not the webpage!) youre trying to link to and look for this line in the code:

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'blahblahblah');

insert the blahblahblah into the 'this_script' field (without the quote marks).
although not chiselled in stone, generally this_script is is the same as the script file name.

any plan to expand the functionality to include subnav links?

Examples? with Imagen please

[dieKetzer]

meaning to allow us to dictate the sub-links associated with each button.
for example, how 'forum' has these sublinks ' New Posts | Private Messages | FAQ | Calendar | Community'

I did not noticed that there are different links depending on tab, I will do that for the next version or for 500 installs

I hope next version, 500 might take a while. I also would like to see sub-tabs.

BUG REPORT:
I can't delete any tabs! Attempting to delete them brings me to an empty admincp page.

Thanks! Do you know how to remove the default tabs by vBulletin? (forum/whats new).

[princeedward]

great mod....this will be the easiest way and fantastic if we can also add sub links below...under each tab we create.... thanks anyway...

[Hornstar]

Thanks, I hope you can update this without having to wait for the 500 installs tho...

500 installs? that will take months.

you also need to add the ability to add drops downs to the tab.



The "admin tools" came from MARCO1 Quick Admin Tools mod in this forum.

I'd rather have no "sub nav" links, and simply the drop downs. Eliminates the need for a sub nav bar.

And, if you can add drop downs, then even drop downs within dropdowns. Sections within sections. So complex menu's can be made.

that too. We need a full tab/nav bar manager, so we can choose what's going to be where. Not vB choosing for us.
