[Suggestion] Advanced Navigation Tabs and Sub-Tabs

i reckon i will be updating post #2 for many years to come.

Oooh I'd love it if it comes... more and more addons provide navtabs and if you have a style with big navtabs, you'll reach the end of possibilities after you install 2-3 Addons...

Yep exactly the problem that needs addressing :-(

I hope this gets added as well.

this is much needed, wordpress has an excellent menu manager, id love to see something similar in xf.

Maybe for 1.1.3?

No, it would be in a 1.X release. As the release announcements usually state:

This is still something vBulletin lacks. Stock VB doesn't allow you to modify nav tabs. The 4-5 nav tab mods available only allow you to add nav tabs and their dropdown children. You can't go beyond that, so designing a goal-oriented menu is not possible unless you want to manually code one yourself (which I had to do).

wow... should have read this before I purchased xenForo. Absolutely unjustifiable weak point to the CMS no matter what anyone sais.

Kier says it is not included because Xenforo is a forum, not a CMS.
You can use Jake's Nodes as Tabs addon for some of this

I have to say Jakes Nodes as Tabs is cracking . It does everything I need to add links. Plus his support is bar none. I never seen someone reply so quick to help something. I can only think of four more in this community.

This sounds great, link?

that's my problem exactly. after a few addons, my navbar causes my page design to break. i just think it would be neat to have a a customizable navigation bar like wordpress has... that would be kinda revolutionary for a bulletin board software in my book

I had the same problem but then i moved the navigation to the top for more room. Of course that is my test board. Live one has several links .

That's pretty impressive. There's a poster on here named gigbig or something like that, that did something just as cool with his search box. http://www.animefans.tv/manga/

For my menu bar I let all members view the moderator bar (without the moderator links of course). I basically used Floren's XenFans UserBar template mod. The Moderator links only show when there is a reported or moderator item alert. AdminCP only shows if you have the rights. I put extra links to the moderator bar to make it easier for members to navigate. For the main navigation menu links, I combined modifications with others so that they share some of the same routes.

For example, the games section shares the same route as xfarcade, xbox live leaderboards and ebookie. The Social groups section shares the same routes as jaxel's events mod. The blogs section shares the same route as jaxel's wiki mod and the help section as well. The hardest part of menu navigation links is figuring out how to organize them and 7 months later after installing xenforo, I'm finally satisfied about how I set mine up.
