Hi,

Why first tab (Forums) is always marked as selected, even if you click to another one? How can I fix that?

Thanks.

That's probably style related actually, probably just hard-coded the first tab to a certain background color.

Question: I've got a tab set up, along with sublinks. To get the initial tab to show a drop-down for the sublinks, I put a # in the "Link URL" box. However, when I click on the tab, I don't get a row of sublinks in the navbar like you do when you click, say, Members. Instead, it throws me back to the Forum home. What's the trick to making a normal tab that, when you click it, shows the sublinks in the navbar, like this:

Link forums are redirects. Use a different node type for the tab, like a category or page node.

Thanks. I created a category node instead. However, now when I click the tab, I get a page with nothing on it but the Tab name. Is the preferred way to do this to create a page node? When I try to do that, it insists on something in the URL Portion field. Confused.

Does the category have any children? The children will be the content of that page.

Yes, you can use a page node if you want. A page node allows you to define your own HTML as the content of the page. On the other hand, a category is more appropriate if you only need it to group other nodes and their content.

Hi @Jake Bunce
Is there any way to hide nodes with "Don't Display in the node list" not show on JumpMenu?
On my site, all hidden nodes were shown in Jump popup menu.

That is not currently an option in this addon.

You can hide secondary links with node permissions, but that restricts access as well.

These urls should not be seen by anyone naturally.

I have XenPorta Categories which I am trying to add to navbar. Is there an efficient way to accomplish this?

Only thing I can think of is create a link forum with a url pointing to the category page.

This.

XenPorta categories aren't nodes, but link-forums can work here.

Now can you rearrange the tabs at the top.. the core tabs like forums?

cmpe · Aug 6, 2014

Hi, is there a way to override one of the default tab's popup menu?

In particular, I would like to have the node list show up DP-style when a user hovers over the "Forums" tab instead of having a separate Jump menu tab.

http://xenforo.com/community/resources/nodes-as-tabs.9/update?update=6285

Been poking around the "navigation" template but have not been able to have the jump menu popup show up for Forums tab.

Thank you!

I tried the link-forum idea and it did work but with one issue. Since it is linking to a /forum.xx/ address the tab does not become active when I am directed to the XenPorta page with a url address like /articles/news/

I'm not too experienced with editing php code, so I am still searching for a way to get this problem solved.

The default tabs are in this template:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Templates -> navigation

DP's forum popup is nonstandard. The nav system does not normally spawn popups for active tabs. Custom programming is required to recreate that.

I'm actually trying to modify my child menu links so that they open the node-link in a new window. I was able to add the code (in red) that you suggested above, but I couldn't get it to work with child menu links. I tried the parent menu link and that worked.

Given that I'm trying to modify child menu links, is there node_id for that tab? If so, where do I find it? The following is what I'm seeing when I hover over one of the child menu links, but I tried 60 as a node-id in the code to no avail.

/admin.php?nodes/file-server.60
