Go ACP>Look & Feel>your_skin>Templates tab>globalTemplate

Find:

 </if>
 </foreach>
 </if>

Below that add the link you want, based on the following:

<li class='left {parse variable="YOUR_TITLEActive"}'><a href='YOUR URL' title='YOUR_TITLE'>YOUR_TITLE</a></li>

Note: The above method adds the tab after all existing tabs.
If you want to add it before the Forum link (or the Home link if you have it enabled), add the above code below this:

 </form>
 </div>
 <ul>

How do I delete some links then?
For example if I want to remove the "Calendar" link?

[Broni]

You can't. Not through ACP.
At least not without editing board files and I even have no idea, which ones.

what if i wanted to put... "my profile" and "my settings" as tabs. how will i be able to do it in a way that when a person clicks, it will go to the individual members own profile and settings? what link will i put in the html?

[Broni]

I'll see, what I can do, but it's a Christmas Day, so not before tomorrow...

[HappyBoy]

merry christmas... hoping this gets resolved :)

Unfortunately, I don't think, I can help you here.
I tried couple of things, but it's not working.
That tab would have include a variable, so it'd look different for every single user and I don't know, how to set it up.
Maybe, it's possible, but it get beyond my skills.
IPB editing is just my hobby, nothing professional.
Sorry :(

[HappyBoy]

not a problem... was just hoping you could help me out :)

[HappyBoy]

just a follow up... are you talking about how the tab looks? or what the url to be used?

[Broni]

Basically, I'm not sure what to put here:
{parse variable="YOUR_TITLEActive"}

Thanks for the discussion on adding a new tab. The comments indicate that the tabs can only be placed at the beginning or the end of the default navigation bar.

Is that still true in 3.14? I would like to add a new tab after the portal page (which will be the home page) and before the forum page.

Thanks,

Brian

Welcome aboard

I don't think, it's possible.

This was exactly what I was looking for Broni ! Good job bro !

I needed to do some reseach to make it open in a new page but this was easy to do like this :

<li class='left {parse variable="YOUR_TITLEActive"}'><a href="#" onclick="window.open('YOUR URL')" title='YOUR_TITLE'>YOUR_TITLE</a></li>

A question though : the new tab created is also visible for guests (just like the standard Forums and Members tabs). Is there a way to set it invisible for them so that only registered members can see ?

[Broni]

Unfortunately I have no idea how to do it :(

Hello Bruni

Is the "how to" you explained in the first post of this thread, applicable in IPB vs 3.3?

[Broni]

I don't use 3.3 yet so I have no idea if it'll work or not.

Thanks for the reply, Bruni!
