Selected Tabs

[Robust]

Wondering how to do this

    /**
     * Adds a Help tab to the navigation
     * @param array $extraTabs
     * @param string $selectedTabId
     */
    public static function helpTab(array &$extraTabs, $selectedTabId)
    {
        $extraTabs['help'] = array(
            'title' => 'Help',
            'href'  => XenForo_Link::buildPublicLink('help'),
            'linksTemplate' => 'helptab_links',
            'selected' => ($selectedTabId == 'help'),
            'position'  =>  'end'
        );
    }

    /**
     * Adds a Upgrade tab to the navigation
     * @param array $extraTabs
     * @param string $selectedTabId
     */
    public static function upgradeTab(array &$extraTabs, $selectedTabId)
    {
        $extraTabs['upgrade'] = array(
            'title' => 'Upgrade',
            'href' => XenForo_Link::buildPublicLink('account/upgrades'),
            'position' => 'middle'
        );
    }

Thing is, without the selected option the tab isn't shown as selected. But with it, it isn't either. I'm assuming the $selectedTabId isn't 'help'? I've tried changing title to $selectedTabId just to debug and see what it is, but it ends up blank (empty).

Am I doing something wrong?

My code event listener is simply a navigation_tabs event one, two of them, one for helpTab and one for upgradeTab.

The selected tab is defined by the RoutePrefix

 

[AndyB]

Here's an example where I have selected 'forums' tab to be selected.

<?php

class Andy_Calendar_Route_Prefix_Calendar implements XenForo_Route_Interface
{
	public function match($routePath, Zend_Controller_Request_Http $request, XenForo_Router $router)
	{
		return $router->getRouteMatch('Andy_Calendar_ControllerPublic_Calendar', $routePath, 'forums');
	}
}

@AndyB Not fully sure how you'd use that function though - I have no clue on XenForo's route path(s). Plus I don't exactly have a controller. This plugin just adds tabs to existing pages in XenForo's system.

 

[AndyB]

Take a look at my Donations add-on as an example:

https://xenforo.com/community/resources/donations.3238/

Here's a screen shot of the Route Prefix page you use to create a route.

 

[Mr. Goodie2Shoes]

I am guessing that the 'Help' tab is associated with XenForo's help page?
Looking into the prefix class, they haven't set any '$majorSection' for the 'help' route prefix...

the code you provided for the tab is okay, so what you have to do is either directly edit the file /library/XenForo/Route/Prefix/Help.php and change line 14

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

to

return $router->getRouteMatch('XenForo_ControllerPublic_Help', 'index', 'help');

or if you don't want to get your hands dirty create a proxy class for 'XenForo_Route_Prefix_Help' and add this method:

  public function match($routePath, Zend_Controller_Request_Http $request, XenForo_Router $router)
   {
     $return = parent::match($routePath, $request, $router);

     if ($return instanceof XenForo_RouteMatch)
     {
       $return->setSections('help');
     }

     return $return;
   }

if its a custom add-on by you, the first method will go...
Hope it helps

@Mr. Goodie2Shoes What about the Upgrades tab (basically links to account/upgrades)

 

[Mr. Goodie2Shoes]

@Robust
Suppose you have added an extra tab for the upgrades page like this:

public static function addAccountUpgradeTab(array &$extraTabs, $selectedTabId)
{
    $extraTabs['accountUpgrades'] = array(
        'title' => 'Upgrades',
        'href' => XenForo_Link::buildPublicLink('full:account/upgrades')
    );
}

you'll have to create a proxy class for 'XenForo_ControllerPublic_Account' and add the following method:

public function actionUpgrades()
{
    $this->_routeMatch->setSections('accountUpgrades');
    return parent::actionUpgrades();
}

So when the visitor goes to account/upgrades the newly created tab will be marked as selected
Disclaimer: I just wrote the code here... do a double check as there might be any typo or silly mistakes...

@Mr. Goodie2Shoes

I think I messed up somewhere.

@Robust you selected 'load_class_controller' but it should be 'load_class_route_prefix' for the help page

 

[Robust]

@Robust you selected 'load_class_controller' but it should be 'load_class_route_prefix' for the help page

Thank you so much Now I just gotta learn what every bit of that does for later use.

@Mr. Goodie2Shoes One last thing...

Before:

After:


It shows Help twice in the lower navigation. Is that a problem?

 

[Mr. Goodie2Shoes]

yeah... that's bound to happen as the first "Help" in the breadcrumbs gets added from the navigation tab... what you can do is edit the template 'help_page', change:

<xen:navigation>
   <xen:breadcrumb href="{xen:link help}">{xen:phrase help}</xen:breadcrumb>
</xen:navigation>

to:

<xen:comment>
<xen:navigation>
   <xen:breadcrumb href="{xen:link help}">{xen:phrase help}</xen:breadcrumb>
</xen:navigation>
