modifying 'this script'

[kyle55155]

I am running photopost, reviews and classifieds. In order to get the corect button highlighted on my Vbulletin 4 pages I had to rename a number of instances of define this script entries. Example ( 'THIS_SCRIPT', "member3" );

These changes match up with my button pluggins where I'm doing if = or statements.

Does PP use the 'this_script' for anything? Am I going to have any problems after having renamed a number of instances of this_script??

we define the names of scripts yes and we use that in our code.

My Bbulletin 4 navtab plugin code bellow:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'ppindex' or THIS_SCRIPT == 'showphoto2' or THIS_SCRIPT == 'search2' or THIS_SCRIPT == 'member' or THIS_SCRIPT == 'upload' or THIS_SCRIPT == 'uploadphoto' or THIS_SCRIPT == 'showgallery' or THIS_SCRIPT == 'showmembers' or THIS_SCRIPT == 'useralbums')
{


if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'cpindex' or THIS_SCRIPT == 'showcat2' or THIS_SCRIPT == 'subscriptions2' or THIS_SCRIPT == 'showmembers3' or THIS_SCRIPT == 'search4' or THIS_SCRIPT == 'member3' or THIS_SCRIPT == 'uploadproduct2')



{
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'rpindex' or THIS_SCRIPT == 'showphoto' or THIS_SCRIPT == 'search3' or THIS_SCRIPT == 'showcat' or THIS_SCRIPT == 'subscriptions' or THIS_SCRIPT == 'showmembers2' or THIS_SCRIPT == 'member2' or THIS_SCRIPT == 'uploadproduct')
{


Chuck,

When adding new buttons to Vbulletin the new button plugin evaluates the page to determine if it should hightlight the tab. As you see above for my three new button plugins I have added code to determine which tab should be highlighted when a PP, CP or RP page is selected. Given that there are duplicate page names being used between PP, CP and RP I had to do some renaming. Otherwise I would have some PP, CP or RP pages that either highlighted two buttons or the wrong button.

In PP I had to rename showphoto and search, in CP I had to rename showcat, subscriptions, showmembers, search and uploadproducts. In RP I had to rename search and member.

I haven't tested all links so I might need to rename more. Is there another way to achieve what I need here?

Unless you have a more elegant solution for me, are all the additional references to 'this_Script' in your code in text files? Would I be able to track all them down and rename them? I assume I'm not the first person to run all three of your apps in VB4 with navabs for each of your apps.

You might want to look in the mod for vb4 I have in the mod corner.

something tells me your going about this way too complex.

[kyle55155]

Ya seems like a pretty simple requirement. But I'm a beginner when it comes to php coding. I'm reading through all posts in the mod corner. I was wondering if you knew of one in particular that will address my issue?

[Chuck S]

The plugin I made has the correct way to add a navbar button in there which is what I already pointed out. Feel free to ask code mod questions in the MOD CORNER since your posts really do not have anything to do with our code directly.

Thats what I use on the global_state_check plugin area.

[kyle55155]

[Chuck S]

Yep that should work much better for you. enjoy your weekend

Hi Chuck,

I've the same issue than kyle55155 with the 3 products (latest versions)
I'm using a mod called "Tabs vbsoporte". That's not the right way...

Please use Chuck's Mods in each mod section of this forum !

[Chuck S]

LOL yeah my mods use the vb plugin format used at vbulletin I cant speak on anyone else's mods.

[kernel-panic]

Shouldn't this work with vB4?

That is a template conditional I beleive so no that would not work for that reason as well as $this_script is not valid the variable is THIS_SCRIPT.

Whatever your trying to do would have to kernel has to be valid with where your doing it in vb4. This discussion is about a navbar button and my post 6 explains how this is done and also there are mods for our products in the mod corner that add those buttons and they are correctly hightlighted.

[kernel-panic]

So, I could change $this_script to THIS_SCRIPT, but you're saying it still wouldn't work? Any other suggestions?

[Chuck S]

well this discussion is how to add a button to vb4 so my suggestion is as I already posted download the actual plugins in the mod forum for the respective product you are trying to have a navbar button for.
