    If your route is Promoters make sure it's not set index, forums in the Route php file, but set to index, Promoters and matches the dev tab > route ..

    And then you could open the ExtraTabs/Listener.php file and at the position = line for the // FOUR th tab, before it, add: 'selected' => ($selectedTabId == 'Promoters'),

    That's a node: Page, not a separate page. Which has it's own route for pages I think, and customizing xenforo itself will result in all /pages/ showing a Promoters.

    Perhaps you could consider using the xenfans 'extra page' plugin, which gives you an extra page, with a selected tab. You can rename the title to Promoters, and even set the route to /promoters/

    Hi Floris,

    Looks good, Ill try later. Does this link to pages? Can we have more then one tab? Just wondering if you can make a highlighted tab on that mod, will it ever be possible for this mod? I just basically want to link pages to the navbar but have the tab highlighted when on the page.

    No, the 'extra page' is specifically meant to use your own custom page, with your own custom template.
    That way the tab can stay selected.

    It's one tab.

    If you want to use node pages to get .com/pages/title/ to work and have /pages/ stay selected, that would be a different mod. I think there's one on xenforo.com

    Since I had to make this for someone, I am going to consider including it in this plugin's future update:

    Hi Floris, I've installed it and I love it. Just a question. How can I hide the XF Help menu so that I can recreate it using this addon? It's possible to do that?

    When I click on a tab it usually causes that tab to be highlighted. But when I use this add-on to create a new tab and I click that tab, the new tab brings me to the page I intended, but it is the Forum tab that remains highlighted. Is that normal behavior? Or did I make a mistake?

    Edit: Oh, I just noticed that a similar question was asked here http://xenforo.com/community/threads/product-xenfans-com-extra-tabs.19606/page-3#post-299863 The tab I made was for an existing forum I titled "Articles." I was not sure how this would correspond to a php file.

    Edit: I assume I should have made a distinction between a node and a page. If I am correct, this add-on would be more suitable if I am trying to make a node into a tab and having it highlight: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/nodes-as-tabs-with-tab-selection.23295/

    That's normal behavior indeed.

    Turns out that Nodes as Tabs add-on was more along the lines of what I needed. Similar to Extra Tabs but allowed a novice like me to have a node turn into a highlight-able tab without dabbing in code.

    Excellent. Yeah, this plugin is to give users the ability to quickly add a tab, without having to customize their styles, edit templates, figuring things out etc.

    What it doesn't do is be an all-in solution for every situation. I am glad Jake for example covered the node page part of it.
