I know that lynne allready postet an article, but here's a other way:

This tutorial will show you, how to add own links to your navbar.
(In the tutorial i'll use the code for my news add-on)

1. create a template (ragtek_news_navbar)

HTML Code:

<vb:if condition="$vboptions['selectednavtab'] == 'ragteknews'">
<li class="selected">
    <a class="navtab" href="news.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase ragtek_news}</a>
<ul class="floatcontainer">
<li><a href="#">#</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<vb:else />
<li><a class="navtab" href="news.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}">{vb:rawphrase ragtek_news}</a></li>
</vb:if>

2. Create a plugin at the hook process_templates_complete

PHP Code:


if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'xxx')  // also defined('ragteknews') possible

{

//set selected tab

    $vbulletin->options['selectednavtab'] = 'ragteknews';

}

// add the "subtemplate" to the navbartemplate

$template_hook['navtab_middle'] .= vB_Template::create('ragtek_news_navbar')->render();

As you see, i've defined "ragteknews" on my news.php page.If ragteknews is defined, $vbulletion->options['selectednavtab'] will be set to ragteknews.
Thats important because where using a condition in the template:

HTML Code:

<vb:if condition="$vboptions['selectednavtab'] == 'ragteknews'">
