gamerxgirl:
This tutorial is for the Passion theme by Crip.

Adding Custom Tabs
Open index.template.php located in your Themes/passion folder (if you already installed theme on your forum).

Find:

--- Code: ---   if ($context['current_action'] == 'search2')
      $current_action = 'search';
--- End code ---

After on the next line add:

--- Code: ---   if ($context['current_action'] == 'LINKNAME')
      $current_action = 'LINKNAME';
--- End code ---

Replace LINK NAME with the name of your link.

Then Find:

--- Code: ---echo '<ul id="menubox">
<li><a' , $current_action=='home' ? ' class="chosen"' : '' , ' href="', $scripturl, '">' , $txt[103] , '</a></li>';
--- End code ---

After it add:

--- Code: ---   echo '<li><a' , $current_action=='LINK ACTION' ? ' class="current"' : '' , ' href="', $scripturl, '?action=forum"><span>' , 'LINK NAME' , '</span></a></li>';
--- End code ---

Replace LINK NAME with the name of your link and LINK ACTION with the name of your action, for example 'forum'.

External URL
Or if you're going to be using a non-smf/external url you would use the following:

--- Code: ---   echo '<li><a href="URL"><span>URL NAME</span></a></li>'; 
--- End code ---

Replace URL with the url you'd like to link to, and URL NAME to what you'd like to name your url.

Tab Link in a New Window
If you'd like the link to open in a new window you would add:

--- Code: ---target="new"
--- End code ---
or

--- Code: ---target="_blank"
--- End code ---

like so:

--- Code: ---   echo '<li><a href="URL" target="new"><span>URL NAME</span></a></li>'; 
--- End code ---

Thanks gamerxgirl! Maybe you can make it SimplePortal specific, to make it more easier.
