Hm, i cant install this Addon: "Das mit dem Add-On verbundenen Dateien konnte nicht gefunden werden. Bitte lade diese Datei auf deinen Server und versuche es noch einmal." Which means: Some Files are missing, and i should upload it to the Server. BUT, i have uploaded all Files to the library.

Maybe you uploaded the files to the wrong location. You should end up with a NodesAsTabs folder inside of library.

I did it already:

Try installing the .xml file from the server, if you already tried from your computer.

Or the other way around.

 

[Shinjiru]

Sorry, how can i install the .xml File from the Server?

 

[Jake Bunce]

On the install page, type in this path:

./library/NodesAsTabs/addon-NodesAsTabs.xml

Jake, brilliant addon so a great thanks!

I have a question...
I am using your addon and have a Page (parent) that has a category (child) and 2 forums (child-child) in that category selectable by the tab's sub menu.

I have the Category set with your mod as having it's own tab
Page
- Category (tab)
--Forum1
--Forum2

I have an addon that also has its own tab and sub menu items under that tab...it uses its own "$extraTabs" function
Addon (tab)
- submenu1
-submenu2 etc

I can manually add the sub menu items from the addon to the sub menu template used with the Category tab and disable the Code Event Listener for the Addon navTab

The problem I have is to then make the Category tab "selected" and its sub menu items displayed when one of the Addon's sub menu items is clicked

Any suggestions on how I can do this?

MAKING A NEW TAB + 2nd LINKS (Admin tab)

This is a careful step by step walk through on making a new tab plus secondary links, using Jake's fantastic addon.
It's actually for making an Admin tab with favourite admincp places, but the procedure applies to whatever links you want to create.

Thanks Morgain but I already have all that and working properly...I need to simply combine two tabs, 1 being done with Jake's addon and one being done by a 3rd party addon, into 1 tab and sub menu that remains selected when any of the sub menu items are selected.

To put a non-node page within a node tab requires modifying the route for that non-node page. Your addon must have a route handler, usually at library/AddonName/Route/Prefix. The major section is defined in there. Here is a code example:

http://xenforo.com/community/threads/add-navtabs-to-different-route.25761/#post-311629

edit - oh and the major section name used by this addon is nodetab#, where # is the node_id of the node tab. That is what you would set for the major section.

As always Jake, you're simply brilliant!

Just wondering but I think I know already the answer, you can't configure a tab to be displayed only when you are in a specific category, for example ?
I'm asking that because I've 2 categories which both have a load of forums inside, and I don't want to put in a tab something unrelated to the other category (because for most of users they will be interested either category1 or category2 but not both, so I don't want to mix information).
Creating a tab like notices with criterias would have been welcomed, I guess.
