[Forum] Navigation Manager - New tab and Usergroup restrictions

[Mirr0r]

Two questions that I can't for the life of me find the answers to.

1) Just wondering if there is an easy way of making a tab from the navigation bar open a new browser window/tab when clicked?

2) Can I restrict a tab so that only user in certain usergroups can see them? I thought I had this but I keep getting errors when applying the change.


Any and all help much appreciated!!

You will need a template modification for 1) and a Plug-in to set a $show Variable for 2)

I installed the mod.

Exactly what I needed. Thanks for the help.

Number (1) is due in 4.2.1

For 1, you can set the Target URL to script.php" target="_blank for now.

This "hack" does only work if Use Tabid is set to false, otherwise the tabid would be added to the target.

Why not one and two?

You can also use the javascript option (window_open).

Because atm, only (1) is due in 4.2.1. If both were, I'd have said both.

True enough.

I found that if you manually add the tabid to the target and set Append 'tabid' to false, it works. For example, my tabid is 38 so I put the following in my Target URL

(target url)?tabid=38" target="_blank

It opens the target in a new browser-tab and maintains the forum-tab functionality as expected.
