<?php
class Navtabs
{
    public static function addNavbarTab(array &$extraTabs, $selectedTabId)
    {
        $extraTabs['aboutus'] = array(
            'title' => new XenForo_Phrase('about_us'),//phrase with the title for the link
            'href'  => XenForo_Link::buildPublicLink('pages/about_us'),
            'position'  =>  'middle'
      );
    }
}

And what's the content of Navtabs.php???
THe file needs to have already the necessary content...

PS: you shoudn't add anything into xenforo directory!

Ahh.. that's why:

class Navtabs

should be:

class XenForo_Navtabs

PS: you shoudn't add anything into xenforo directory!

See your first post:

1. Create your classfile in the xenforo directory. I named it ragtekTab

 

[ragtek]

classname is false

See your first post:

Gah got it now, it added itself now.

ragtek bud can you update the first post a bit now

Clicking it seems to make the "Forum" tab be highlighted not itself though?

See here, the tab is added correctly so that's a start, at least now all i have to do is edit the new class for tabs. Just need to get it to highlight correctly now.

What am i missing to get the tab to be highlighted when your on the page?

The route is responsible for the highlited tab.

The problem is, that the pages have already there "fix route" with the fix highlighted forum tab!

return $router->getRouteMatch('XenForo_ControllerPublic_Page', 'index', 'forums');

I've found a way to manipulate this, BUT this requres editing of the router class XenForo_Route_Prefix_Pages

This is becoming more and more of a headache

 

[ragtek]

AHH; wait, there's a event availabe for routes

HRHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRr

addon will come in the next days just need to find a way to edit the admin page template

 

[Member 3639]

So it is possible then?

I take it for this addon it will be the usual release on your site for premium and then on here 5 days later?

 

[James]

It's definitely possible, whether it's worth the hassle or not is your own judgement.

load_class_route_prefix - couldn't you use that listener to re-route the request if the page node = x

 

[Member 3639]

He did just say something about an event though, doesn't that make it easier?

 

[ragtek]

load_class_route_prefix - couldn't you use that listener to re-route the request if the page node = x

exactly^^

with an file edit it would be MAYBE something like (haven't tested it, but i think it should work^^

    public function match($routePath, Zend_Controller_Request_Http $request, XenForo_Router $router)
    {
        $request->setParam('node_name', basename($routePath));
        switch ($request->getParam('node_name'))
        {
            case 'foo':
                return $router->getRouteMatch('XenForo_ControllerPublic_Page', 'index', 'mytab1');
            break;
            case 'foobar':
                return $router->getRouteMatch('XenForo_ControllerPublic_Page', 'index', 'mytab2');
            break;
            default :
               return $router->getRouteMatch('XenForo_ControllerPublic_Page', 'index', 'forums');
        }

    }

The "hard" part will be the userfriendly connection between pages & selectedtab id

 

[Member 3639]

Do you think you will be able to do it?

This is what I use for my page tabs.. http://xenforo.com/community/threads/page-nav.13565/

Couldn't you set the selected tab ID in templates?

<xen:set var="$selectedTabId">someID</xen:set>
