Extra tabs links

[Matthew2D]

Hello. When you install an addon with a page theres a link in the navbar. What template do the links go into?

Thanks.

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Templates -> navigation

This addon also works well for adding tabs using link forums (which is functionally the same as the template modification):

That's something WAY different than what I'm asking...for example, when you install XenQuotations, a tab is created call quotations. I want to know what template that tab was put into.

Strictly speaking, addons don't insert their tab code into a template. They use the $extraTabs array to insert their tab information which is then used by the navigation template to build the tab. If you edit that template you will see three $extraTabs sections.

If you want to change or remove the nav tab for an addon then you need to modify the PHP code in that addon that uses $extraTabs. It would be an event listener for the "navigation_tabs" event.

edit - you can also use CSS to style or remove a tab (display: none).

I have a lot of tabs, and I want to make a "More" Tab with a dropdown of pages. How would I do that?

This addon works well for that and it doesn't require any template edits:

Or you can edit the templates directly, but then you have to worry about outdated templates when you upgrade:

Except that I don't want to use the nodes as tabs...

Then you can edit the navigation template to add your menu.

You could also create your own listener for the "navigation_tabs" event to manipulate $extraTabs and add your menu that way. But the template edit is probably easier. The only reason to create your own listener is if you need tab selection and other functionality beyond just the dropdown menu.

Could you do it for me?

 

[Jake Bunce]

Yeah I can do it. I need a URL and admin login, and the titles / links you want in your navbar. Send me a PM.
