  • vB5 How To: Add a custom page to the navbar

    This tutorial will help you to add a navbar link to a custom page that you have created using THESE instructions.

    Firstly, make sure you are logged in as an Admin - so you can access Site Builder.

    Then, switch Site Builder ON using the switch at the very top right of the screen.




    Then, click "Navigation Bar" from the site builder menu.




    Authenticate your admin session if required:




    You will now be presented with the Navigation Bar menu.
    Click "New Navigation Item".




    You will now be presented with the below menu:




    In our earlier tutorial, where we created the custom page, we gave it a URL.
    We now need to enter the following information:
    Navigation Item Name: The text you want to actually appear on this navbar tab.
    Target URL: The URL you gave this page. In our case, this was /home.




    If you require this tab to open in a new window, tick "Open in New Window".

    To restrict visibility of this tab to specific usergroups, click "User Groups: Edit" and select the required usergroups from the below screen:




    Back on the main screen, when you are happy click "Save".
    You can now see your new tab in the list of available tabs. You can drag these tabs up and down to reorder them to suit.




    When you are happy, click "Save Changes" at the top.




    Refresh your page, and test your new tab. If you have created both the page and the tab correctly, you should find your new tab

      • Changing your site's favicon
        by Wayne Luke
        The favicon allows you to extend your brand identity to the browser tab. This can often be the only thing a user sees if they have many tabs open. The favicon is a special 16 X 16 icon that the browser automatically looks for in the root directory of your site. vBulletin also ships with one in its root directory. If vBulletin is installed in the root directory of your site, you can overwrite the provided icon to change it for your users. However, you will need to remember to do this with every version...

      • Using User Ranks
        by Wayne Luke

        User ranks allow the administrator to set up image and HTML rewards for their users once they reach specific goals. In versions before vBulletin Connect 5.7.1, ranks could only be triggered by the number of posts and the usergroups assigned to the user. In vBulletin Connect 5.7.1, User Ranks have been expanded to allow more flexibility in creating individual ranks. Now you can build combinations of different criteria to create unique ranks for your site.

        ​ Ranks can be created using th...
