Vbgallery VBAdvanced and Vbulletin 4xx

[Halfhidden]

I've recently upgraded to VB 4.1.3 (want to go to 4.1.4 but VBgallery isn't compatible at the moment.
Anyway back to my point. I want to be able to replace the VB menu altogether and further more do the following:
1 set up a menu with tabs and links for Admins so that they can quickly move to area's that they are needed.

2 When a member clicks on gallery I only want a gallery related menu (apart from a tab back to the forum or home). I want to be able to build a menu that has tabs for searching the gallery, latest pictures, latest comments, upload pictures and so on.

3 I want to be able to have a much simpler menu system for beginners. So if they are in a certain user group they can have a very basic menu system that would be less intimidating for them.

Am I right in thinking that links to tabs have to be written like "THIS_SCRIPT" or they wont show up?

My intention is to buy this plugin if it is as versatile as it looks.

Hi Halfhidden,

I will answer these questions one-by-one:

1 set up a menu with tabs and links for Admins so that they can quickly move to area's that they are needed.

Yes, no problems I actually use a dropdown tab for all my Admin links. Having a normal tab will probably not work, as Admin functions are in the AdminCP which are back-end functions and the AdminCP does not use the front-end graphics engine at all.

2 When a member clicks on gallery I only want a gallery related menu (apart from a tab back to the forum or home). I want to be able to build a menu that has tabs for searching the gallery, latest pictures, latest comments, upload pictures and so on.

You probably can not do this, as tabs are controlled by usergroup permissions, then followed by script conditionals. That is not saying you can not have tabs that have functionality for searching the gallery, latest pictures, latest comments, upload pictures and so on.

3 I want to be able to have a much simpler menu system for beginners. So if they are in a certain user group they can have a very basic menu system that would be less intimidating for them.

You can do that, just create some tabs that are just specific to that usergroup and the other tabs remove the usergroup permissions from the other tabs for that usergroup.

Am I right in thinking that links to tabs have to be written like "THIS_SCRIPT" or they wont show up?

Yes and No; with normal tabs, Yes, but with the other four custom tab types they are not dependant on THIS_SCRIPT, but can use them in script conditionals.

Any more questions, let me know.
