[AJAX] Tabbed Forum Home

[bobster65]

I just changed over IP addresses on my domain today and now my tabs aren't showing up. All I see is a bullet list of my forums. Any ideas what is causing this???

http://www.usacarry.com/forums/

i156
This would be directly related to the css file and the tabs finding it. It should be listed at the top of the forumhome template and looks something like:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="clientscript/tabs/ajaxtabs.css" />

Just in my opinion I would start looking from there also it may (just guessing) have something to do with cache but then I am only a back yarder in coding but it may help to get you started till the big boys offer something

yup, iBaker is correct.. check both the paths to the .ccs AND .js .. make sure your old URL isn't appended to them.

Wait...is the AJAX version still crawlable?

Wait...is the AJAX version still crawlable?

Yes. Its been tested more than once is completely search engine unobtrusive. If you need to make yourself comfortable, simple create a child style and make the child style tabbed and the parent style the default..

Hi,

will V2.0 be able to handle this (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=99829) module?!

Got V1.5 to work, but it does not play well together with Xenons Hack ;(

Yes, I have it working and posted the solution to hammerhead in that thread... We've also added support for it in ver 2.0

HERE is the solution that I posted ...

How would I go about combining this with the [AJAX] tabbed forums (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=175687) mod.

Thanks for any help.

Pretty easy actually ..

I am going to assume you already installed this and am only going to give you the changes you need to make for this to work with TFH ..

FIND THIS in (includes/functions_forumlist.php ) File

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' AND $forum['subforumcolumns'] != 1 AND ($subsonly OR $depth < MAXFORUMDEPTH))
{
$childforumbits = construct_forum_columns($forum['forumid'], $forum['subforumcolumns']);
}
else if ($subsonly)
{
$childforumbits = construct_forum_bit($forum['forumid'], 1, $subsonly);
}
else if ($depth < MAXFORUMDEPTH)
{
$childforumbits = construct_forum_bit($forum['forumid'], $depth, $subsonly);
}
else
{
$childforumbits = '';
}



REPLACE with THIS (NOTE: New Code is highlighted in red ... )

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' AND $forum['subforumcolumns'] != 1 AND ($subsonly OR $depth < MAXFORUMDEPTH))
{
$childforumbits = construct_forum_columns($forum['forumid'], $forum['subforumcolumns']);
}
else if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'tabforumhome' or 'index' AND $forum['subforumcolumns'] != 1 AND ($subsonly OR $depth < MAXFORUMDEPTH))
{
$childforumbits = construct_forum_columns($forum['forumid'], $forum['subforumcolumns']);
}
else if ($subsonly)
{
$childforumbits = construct_forum_bit($forum['forumid'], 1, $subsonly);
}
else if ($depth < MAXFORUMDEPTH)
{
$childforumbits = construct_forum_bit($forum['forumid'], $depth, $subsonly);
}
else
{
$childforumbits = '';
}




THEN CHECK/EDIT your forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost Template

NOTE: You should have this step already done if you installed both properly..

NOTE: Red Highlite = TFH Code Green Highlite= Forums arranged in columns on forumhome Code Black Code = Default vB (yours might be slightly different if you have a custom style, however, the colored stuff HAS to be exact) ..

<if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT == 'tabforumhome' AND in_array($forum['forumid'], $GLOBALS[tabcats])) OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay'">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">
<if condition="$childforumbits">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumbit_$forumid')"><img id="collapseimg_forumbit_$forumid" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat{$collapseimg_forumid}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
</if>
<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</a>
<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>
<if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>

<if condition="$childforumbits">
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}">
<if condition="$forum['subforumcolumns'] > 1">
<tr>
<td class="alt1" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">
<table style="border: none; width: 100%;">
$childforumbits
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<else />
$childforumbits
</if>
</tbody>
</if>
</if>


This works fine on both default vB and with Custom styles (I tested both this AM)

You can wrap the specific <li> tag with a template conditional where the numbers after userinfo are the User Group IDs that you want to display the Tab too.

<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 5,6)">
CODE HERE
</if>


So for example if you had 3 Tabs and wanted to hide one for Staff Only it would look like this..

<div id="ajaxTFH" class="TFHmenu2">
<ul>
<li class="selected"><a href="tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=1" rel="ajaxTFHcontentarea">TAB 1 NAME</a></li>
<li><a href="tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=1&tabcat[]=2" rel="ajaxTFHcontentarea">TAB 2 NAME</a></li>

<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 5,6)">
<li><a href="tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=100" rel="ajaxTFHcontentarea">STAFF</a></li>
</if>

</ul>
</div>

[megabyte366]

thanks for the reply bobster65... now i have another problems.. and i'm sure it's an easy fix... the left side where you have the new or old icons.... now that is missing the gif pic.. and has words in it...

Wouldn't that be:


<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5, 6)">


I thought $vbulletin-> only worked in files.

[bobster65]

You can do it both ways, I prefer to use $vbulletin->userinfo however.

bobster65, Got everything working now... went back and redid it.... and pics are showing up... maybe did something wrong the 1st time the pic's are showing up... however; tried the hide the staff with your code and it still shows up.... correction: it worked...placed it at the bottom and it worked for me.. thanks

also have another one..... i have two skins... if i made a new dir under the 2 skin and copy all the files to it and direct/change the file path to the sn2d skin this should also work... or do i just need to make a dir for the tabs/

Thanks.

[JVCode]

Thanks for the mod! works a treat... Just a feature request, Would there be a way to have Sub-Tabs? Same as Sub-forums really, but as tabs. Would be excellent for my games forums.

you can use the same .js file for multiple styles, but you will want to create a new .css file for the 2nd style.. it can be in the same directory, just a different name..

I've played around a little bit with this concept, but right now our main focus is to get v2 out the door.. will certainly add this to the white board tho...

Thanks for the prompt reply.

One other question; The current system 'Acquires Content' each time when visiting the forum homepage, regardless of whether you've visited another tab or not, which in turn takes some time to load. Is there a way to make it so the Home Page loads as it normally would, (when the hack isn't installed) and just acquire the content on the categories which aren't on the home page?

That's the best way I could word my problem. Anyone make heads or tales of it? Help appreciated :)

[illithid]

I searched this entire thread for any issues with javascript being used inside of the ajax tab view. Couldn't find what I was looking for.

First, let me give props to the author of this mod, it is wonderful! Secondly, I have it installed on my forum and decided that I could use it on my home page as well. It works. My problem though, is that if the tab makes a call to a page that has data generated from javascript, the data won't display(while in the tab view). However, if you go directly to the page, outside of the ajax tab, then the data will display.

Obviously, the problem is javascript is being suppressed by the ajax tab view. Is there a way to work around this?

I have added two images, 1 shows the contents of the ajax tab view for my test file, the second image is the actual display when going directly to the test page.

[g0dfather1984]

Great feature, however I am having one slight problem.

I have the tabs up for the forums & what not. But there is one that doesn't show up. I have the proper ID for it, but still no luck. Out of 6 different tabs, this is the only one that's not working.

Thank you for your help.

I like your [AJAX] tabbed approach very much, but unfortunately it is incompatible with custom arranged subforums (vertically aligned) using this mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=177954).

Try changing the seperator from a comma to a line break.

There is, but its not something that you probably would be interested in .. you can try it tho and see if it works for you... (using the iframe mode)

"an external page can also be fetched and displayed via the IFRAME element instead. This is useful for external pages that either contain JavaScript/ CSS code that doesn't run properly when fetched via Ajax"

This is what to do...

rel="#default|containerid|#iframe": For each tab link that should reveal content when clicked on, add a "rel" attribute inside its link tag with one of three possible values: "#default", id_of_container_div, or "#iframe". This in combination with the link's href attribute determines what external file to fetch, and how to display it. Most commonly you'll be using containerid, which corresponds to the ID of the container DIV on the page in which to load the Ajax fetched content (see Step 2 below). "#default" and "#iframe" on the other hand are both special keywords. "#default" causes the tab to show no external content but instead what's embedded directly inside the container DIV, while #iframe causes the tab to show its content inside an IFRAME tag instead of via Ajax.

The acquiring content is simply the way this ajax version works.. if you don't want current info, use the first version (its NON AJAX)..

With that said, the new version uses YUI Tab View which drastically speeds up the AJAX process.. night and day difference..

Please contact me through PM with the javascript code and I will work on seeing if it works for YUI and if not will attempt to find a way to fix it for 2.0 as 1.5.x is not currently under development.

I got a little lost in your explanation of how to implement the use of the iframe. Regardless of that, I don't see how an iframe will actually help with this problem. To explain this a little better, I have a custom vBulletin "powered" page as my home page. I have implemented the ajax tabs into that page. Currently, I can display content in the ajax container, from html, php, css, xml and even a few made up extensions, by direct linking of the tab to the external file. Pages with code that isn't javascript will display, but the javascript fails.

I know exactly what you are talking about.. I have two other mods for vBa that are Tabbed Content Modules and the same thing applies since they all use the same ajax.js file .... a lot of JS doesn't not play well with AJAX....

btw, tts easy... in the LI tag for the specific tab, there is a REL attribute.. replace the attribute with #iframe (see below)

<li><a href="mycustomfile.php" rel="#iframe">TAB NAME</a></li>

That is all controlled via the CSS file. Simply play around with color settings until you get the desired results.... If you find the file too confusing, just PM me the CSS file that you are using and I will try and help you out when I have time :)

Hey Bud.. good news (unfortunately, not for version 1.5 tho) .. With V2, you will be able to execute scripts both remote and inline during the dataSrc request :D

For In Line Javascript, The script tag will be executed when the tab is activated.

For Remote Javascript, you can load components dynamically during the tab loading process. You can dynamically load CSS for your component and have it injected into the current page style set. You'll then be able to create content on the fly using the script inline.

This actually solved a few of the major "bugs" that have been reported which means Version 2 took a major leap towards being released soon for beta testing...

Thanks so much, cause I got the #iframe method working, but the links open in the iframe....not very pretty at the moment. As for this fix fixing other issues, I am glad that I brought it your attention. I hope the release isn't much further away. Good work on this guys. :)

No. Getting closer to Beta Testing tho. Knocked out over 10 bugs last night alone by finding a new YUI Tab Component that works great with inline/external JS... Just hanf tight.. its a heck of a lot closer today than it was 12 hrs ago lol

Ya, I mentioned that it was not the ideal solution (rather ugly lol)..btw, not sure if the JS script that KK has on the Dev server is yours or not, but if it is, Its working fine on my own Server with version 2.0 running ;)

i am as well.... been watching this but it seems at this point it will be easier to just wait for 2.0 vs trying to make it work in its current form. i tried for about 5 mins a few days ago to make it work but never could so i removed it for now.

[King Kovifor]

OK we have one major major thing to do that will alleviate tons of work and make it more 'seamlessly' integrated into vBulletin, but it's something that I haven't seen done before through modifications. It may have but I haven't found it. So we most likely have to 'reinvent' the wheel on this one.

Don't keep us in suspense as to what this "major major thing to do" is. BTW, I am willing to assist in any way possible with this mod....assuming you could use the assistance. I am not much good with javascript or ajax, however, I can code php quite well. My point is, instead of re-invent the wheel, let us know what it is that needs to be done, perhaps I, or somebody else has a solution.

IT has to do with the style.

[aggiefan]

just so i know but will this mod when the 2.0 version comes will it be able to mimick what vbulletin.org has with its tabs in the header next to the logo. because thats how i was planning on using it. also as i understand it currently it only will work with forum categories (is that correct)? if so will it be possible to link to other sections using this in the 2.0 version? (specifically i would like to link to some of our addons... arcade, pickem contest we coded, etc)

I can not speak on v2 of this mod as it is not released yet, but I can tell you about the current release. I have it installed and am using it like it was intended to be used...ie on the forum to switch between forum categories. The way it works is like vBulleting.org -> each tab is linked to the categories you assign to them and only that category will be displayed on the page for the tab that is selected.

In addition to the standard use of these tabs, I have implemented them on my website (not used on the forum) to pull external content. So essentially, you could use the tabs in other places besides on your forum. I will say this though, as I have found so far, the pages you plan to include these tabs on, will have to be tied into the vBulletin forum. My website consists of custom pages that use the vBulletin API, which allow me to tie into the vBulletin forum. This is how I am able to use the tabs externally from the forum.

As for your addons, arcade, etc. as long as the tabs are tied into your forum, you will be able to link to mostly anything. The only problem so far is pulling javascript into the ajax tab view...ajax and javascript don't play well with each other....to my understanding, v2 fixes that issue.

I can tell you this, this mod is wonderful now. When v2 is released, it will be better without a doubt. Again, I have found uses for this mod external from the forum and only 1 limitation thus far.

[bobster65]

Don't keep us in suspense as to what this "major major thing to do" is. BTW, I am willing to assist in any way possible with this mod....assuming you could use the assistance. I am not much good with javascript or ajax, however, I can code php quite well. My point is, instead of re-invent the wheel, let us know what it is that needs to be done, perhaps I, or somebody else has a solution.

Nothing is in suspense, its an additional feature that really has nothing to do with "functionality" and will not hold up beta testing or the beta release. He gave you a hint, it has something to do with Styles. Not going to get into details, because we are not sure which way we want to approach it since it has not been done yet (that I know of).. but rest assured, its NOT going to hold up the beta testing or the beta release...

It "could" but it would require some major customization. This wasn't designed to mimic that. The functionality of the two are totally different. Using this to do what they did would be OVERKILL lol..

No, ver2 will work with more than just categories, there is a "modules" plug in that you enter the URI to the external file and it will be included as content for that tab.. (you can use any of the "content" files that I have released with my CMPS AJAX Tabs Mod as well .. recent threads, blogs, news, links, photos etc.. custom content will be pretty easy to add to this. Hell, you could knock out a simple static HTML file, upload it to your server and then with the Module part in the ACP, just enter the file name, give it a tab name and you have a custom tab with your content.. or you can write a complex php file and do the same thing...

[TheInsaneManiac]

Right now, the 1.01 NON Ajax version, what would the queries be for that? Cause I think this is putting a huge load on my server.

[siriuxs]

It is possible to have a different color for each tab?

[craiovaforum]

It is possible to have a different color for each tab?

you can do that by editing ajaxtabs.css and adding something like this:


.TFHmenu2 a#specialtab {
background: #FF0000;
}

.TFHmenu2 a#specialtab.selected {
background: #FF3333;
border-color: #FF3333;
}


then, in the forumhome template where you defined your tabs just add class="specialtab" to the <a> you want inside the list.

[TimberFloorAu]

Okies. this is my second attempt at looking at this mod.
Im a great lover of ajax tabs, and we use it extensively on other (non Vb ) websites.

Just to get my head round this ( not always up with vb terminology )

So: here goes.

Example: i create 6 tabs.
called.
apples | oranges | bananas | grapes | nectarines | mangos

Can I assign different forum id's within each of those tabs.

So apples shows:
forum id's 1,34,78,23,14
Bananas 2,62,63,65

etc etc

This is the bit thats throwing me, as I keep seeing the word Category shown.. not sure what thats about.

It only displays forums you've setup as categories. Meaning it displays a category and all the subforums that are a part of it. You can, however, display multiple categories.

[TimberFloorAu]

Thats a shame huh.

Surely. Though, creating it so that it displays various forum id.s in some sort of order is simple enough. At the end of the day, forumhome only lists the forums, 'a la' chronological id.

[Digital Jedi]

I don't know. I've never listed forums outside of a category because of the peculiar way it looks on forumhome.

[TimberFloorAu]

I don't know. I've never listed forums outside of a category because of the peculiar way it looks on forumhome.

Not sure if we use categories lol.. must check :)

::checked . we have 10 categories ( excl admin and mods area )

[Digital Jedi]

Yeah, I actually chucked a few forums into their own category just so I could exploit the look under each tab. I also have a Staff tab.

[TimberFloorAu]

So which version of this do you use Mark

[Digital Jedi]

The AJAX version. Forumhome was always a little heavy.

Cheers mate, will have a looksy at yours and see what I can STEAL ( idea wise lol ) ;)
I love your forum, its slick !

[Digital Jedi]

I'm glad you like it. My mods just told me recently that a bunch of people don't like the design. :confused:

I do plan on changing the tabs again. I'm not sold on the alternate toolbar thing I have now.

I used an if conditional to hide the Staff tab so there wasn't an empty tab showing to users not in that usergroup.

[BWJ]

Is it possible to have tabs in two levels?

like:

tab | tab | tab | tab |tab | tab
tab | tab |tab | tab |tab

[Digital Jedi]

Yeah, but you have to use tables instead of <li> list tags.

Yep.
I recently re did all of the css, and kept some of the original code, and it went down like a lead baloon.. but cpl of weeks on they are all happy. ( i think )
I would like to go for a fixed layout tho, and offer as an alternate to fluid.

[TimberFloorAu]

Okies im at my wits end with this.
Something isnt right
All I get is requesting content... nothing appears

Test link at:
http://www.yobromofo.com/forum/index.php?styleid=11

first tabbed link is forum id=23
Which acts as a category.
But shows nothing ..

<li class="selected"><a href="tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=23" rel="ajaxTFHcontentarea">Fair Dinkum</a></li>

Any suggestions plz?

[Digital Jedi]

Are you sure you put the contents of the folder in the right place?

[TimberFloorAu]

Are you sure you put the contents of the folder in the right place?

contents .. you mean client script etc?

yep..

only thing i think it could be is,.. that category=12 has various forums under it, not other categories..

Is this the way this works.. or does it work on the basis, of displaying forums under a specific category, which is what I hoped for.?

[Digital Jedi]

It should work the way you have it. But from what I'm seeing, it doesn't look like you have a tabs folder in your clientscript folder, which is why I'm surprised your CSS is working.

[chiptz]

I am using this mod and I am very happy with the result (http://www.techzonept.com/?styleid=60 - you won't be able to see some tabs or forums, thus it will appear some tabs are empty but they are not).

I now am looking to change 4 things:

- tab for blogs plugin
- tab for projects plugin
- who's online displayed only on certain tabs (easy on non-ajax version)
- tabs appearing in every page and not only on forum home

any clue on how to do this?

Wait, I just noticed the loading image is looking for it in the wrong location. It's looking for the tabs folder here:

yobromofo.com/clientscript/tabs/loading.gif

When it should be looking here:

yobromofo.com/forum/clientscript/tabs/loading.gif

http://www.yobromofo.com/forum/clientscript/tabs/

All there .. I believe..

I have just re edited the css and js paths , still doesnt work tho.. have given them absolute path

[TimberFloorAu]

edited css/js path to :

/forum/clientscript/tabs/ajaxtabs.js

/forum/clientscript/tabs/ajaxtabs.css

in forumhome

Shows the tabs... nothing else...

Changed now to full url path

Also changed ajaxtabs.js loading gif , to full url path..

Thats not the major issue tho.. the tab when clicked shows no content..

[TimberFloorAu]

Just a thought...

Currently we have ( example ) forumid 12 set as a forum
with lots of child forums under it.

Should they all become sub-categories of a parent category ... for this to work??

or could it be a VBSEO setting???

[Digital Jedi]

Hrm, I'm not sure on this one. It might just be another modification like vBSEO, because from what I'm looking at, you have everything set up right.

Of course, I haven't eaten since yesterday. So take that with a grain of salt.

With TFH version 2, you will be able to add external content files to tabs and I have content files for Blogs, Project tools, recent threads, news, links, thumbs, photos etc...

I also have (and I am about to release) AJAX Tabs Content Version 3.0 (YUI) that can be used on ANY Page to display external content as well (to include TFH) ..

ya, VBSEO doesn't effect it..

looks like you got the files in the correct place..

change the calls to the CSS and JS to this really quick.. I want to see if the www vs non www is effecting it..

<!-- Tabbed Forum Home Header Code -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="clientscript/tabs/ajaxtabs.css" />

well, troubleshooting consists of trying little things that people have had problems with in the past. I am just trying to help and I have a check list and that is the first thing that is on the list ;)

usually, when it just sits and spins its because it can't FIND something, meaning that a path is incorrect or a file is in the wrong place or not named correctly... To help, I'd really need to see more than just viewing the source of your forum home page..

[murekhalir]

I'm opening a new site...

i'm not sure whats the difference between ajax, and the normal version.

anyone help?

[Digital Jedi]

AJAX loads the content only when you click a tab and it's easier to install.

[ishare]

Thank you very much for this great mod.
I've installed it and it made my forumhome much more clean.
But i have a problem with the content.
It takes quite long time (usually 2-5 seconds, but sometimes more) to open the content of the tab.
Is it possible to make it as fast as the demo link (BBW Forums (http://www.bbwforums.net/forum/)) you mentioned in your message.
Without the tabs, my forum is working quite fast. At least much faster than this.
Maybe i did something wrong...

Can you suggest me a solution ?

The demo link is based off of 1.0.x where all forums are loaded at once and no AJAX calls are made. It takes longer due to the fact that AJAX must query the database and building the forumview every time the tab is loaded.

[chiptz]

Hi

I don't know if this was already reported or not, but i loose one functionality when using the tabs: it is no longer possible to mark a forum as read by clicking on the forum icon. Is this normal?

[LGKeiz]

Hello, I'm using the AJAX Tabbed version..
But when I click a tab, it shows every category instead of the ones I specify:

Heres my code example;


<li class="selected"><a href="tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=4" rel="ajaxTFHcontentarea">GamingSync</a></li>
<li><a href="tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=5" rel="ajaxTFHcontentarea">Test Cat one asdasdasdasdas dasdasdasNAME</a></li>

[M-Tuning]

I am using v1.0.1 and i've got the tabs working.

But is there a way to change the headerimage with each tab?

I tried putting <div id="tcontent1" class="tabcontent"> </div> around the header and it works partial.

Now the header switches when I click the tab, but the forums are disappeared.

I hope sombody can help me.

[The Geek]

Very cool job guys... making this to keep 'tabs' on your progression :)

Keep up the great work!

[M-Tuning]

Already figured it out:

[iwarrior]

Nice mod.

I stuggled to get it installed on my site with the current theme, but it appears to be working - I think.

I just do not know how to get the tabs closer to the line below it and the forums.

I will appreciate any help. Here is my site >>> (http://www.webmasterforum.co.za)

[Cust0ms]

Do you think this affects the SEO my board?

[M-Tuning]

No it won't

Spiders can handle this.

[Hornstar]

So this is kind of like split forum home hack where you can split certain forums section to another page, but instead of being on another page with just a link to it, it is ajax based into tabs?
Is that correct?


Will search engines be able to find the content okay? because I notice each of the tab links all end in a #
Ideally it would be great if it was actually showing a link where users could link other people directly to that tabbed page.
Is that possible?

This version is not AJAX Based, but yes, you have the right concept. Simply check out one of the Demo links to see it in action.

Yes, Search engines can spider the content just fine.

I am pretty sure that there is a way to do direct links.. I'll dig into it and when I find something, I'll respond back to ya :)

did you ever find out a way to do direct links?
Will version 2 have this?

Thanks.

[bobster65]

did you ever find out a way to do direct links?

I will try to fit into the final release for 2.0. Just some more handling and checking, but it will be easy.

[Hornstar]

I will try to fit into the final release for 2.0. Just some more handling and checking, but it will be easy.

Okay great. Just to ensure we are on the same page.

If someone clicks on yourlink.com/forums/tab1.php then they are taken to your site and landed on tab1. and if they went to forums/tab2.php then they would be taken to your site but landed on tab2.

Not sure what the links will look like, but I will probably change them with vbseo.


------
On another note, I finally got this working, I had to add in the full link to my forums for every url location including to the loading.gif pic.

----

Lastly, as I have a custom skin, is there a way currently to make the tabs look like my style instead of the default vb style? (an easy way or do I need to be expeirenced in CSS editing?)

Thanks.

[King Kovifor]

hornstar1337,

We are on different pages. LOL. The way I will most likely handle it is allow the addition of a seltab= value in the index URL and base the selection on that instead of using the default.

With a little bit of coding you could acheive your desired outcome.

question: if we install this now...

will it be easy to upgrade to 2.0 when that comes out? or will we have to redo everything under 2.0 to utilize YUI ?

Hey guys, just had a slight issues with the install. www.simplygaming.net.au/forums-new

I'm sure you'll pick up the issue when you first see the site. Im sure i've followed the instructions, however i must have gone wrong somewhere, your help is appreciated.

UPDATE: Issue resolved. Seemed to have need the url to link to the style sheets, rathan then the default.

Thanks, Great Mod!!

[King Kovifor]

As of right now, no upgrade path due to the fact that the data is stored in the template, we can't easily convert. But 2.0 is much easier to seT up and manage.

[johan204]

I really love this mod. Great work.
Can't hardly wait until version 2 will be brought (beta).
One comment though, maybe somebody said it allready, but in IE (7 and 8beta) the mod isn't consistent in his style. Firefox doesn't have that problem. There is a little space between the tabs itself and the bottom line linking the tabs to the forum (if you know what i mean).

[Doom Stone]

Quick question, is it possible to hide tabs from users without permissions to view the content within the tabs? For example, everyone can view the tab "Staff Section" however only staff can view the content.

[Lonny]

unbelievable idea.. good job my friend :)

[bobster65]

Quick question, is it possible to hide tabs from users without permissions to view the content within the tabs? For example, everyone can view the tab "Staff Section" however only staff can view the content.

Its sure is :) (from post #2)

Tabs for Specific User Groups Only (Ver 1.50)

You can wrap a specific TAB <li> tag with a template conditional where the numbers after userinfo are the User Group IDs that you want to display the Tab too.

So for example if you wanted to hide one for Staff Only it would look like this (See the code in RED)

<div id="ajaxTFH" class="TFHmenu2">
<ul>
<li class="selected"><a href="tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=1" rel="ajaxTFHcontentarea">TAB 1 NAME</a></li>
<li><a href="tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=1&tabcat[]=2" rel="ajaxTFHcontentarea">TAB 2 NAME</a></li>

<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 5,6)">
<li><a href="tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=100" rel="ajaxTFHcontentarea">STAFF</a></li>
</if>

</ul>
</div>

Looks like you just need to configure the tabs (which is just a matter of assigning cat ids).. then modify the CSS to match your colors ..

How to edit my template?

[Sawa Dee SohL]

I have a question / issue with the Tabs:

I've put it on my site: www.ThesocialRev.com

- How do I get the tabs to show up in box's - right now they show up, just as the text - and when the Tab is highlighted/clicked - THEN it shows the box. Anyway to put a box around them all, and just highlight the chosen tab?
Example: http://thesocialrev.com/forum/index.php
Also:

Once I go INTO a post, on the given tab-board-topic.

The tabs no longer show - I have to go back to the main board, in order to see the tabs.

Is there a way to get the tabs to show on every Page, even when inside a post?

For example: http://thesocialrev.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=2
- No tab's show.

Thanks!

How to edit my template?

This can be done super easy with the NON AJAX version. Once I get done with some of the coding I am doing, I might have time to release some sample code on how to do this. Many members have already done this on their own, so they might jump in and help you out.


I have a question / issue with the Tabs:

I've put it on my site: www.ThesocialRev.com

- How do I get the tabs to show up in box's - right now they show up, just as the text - and when the Tab is highlighted/clicked - THEN it shows the box. Anyway to put a box around them all, and just highlight the chosen tab?
Example: http://thesocialrev.com/forum/index.php

Thats all handled with the CSS file. Just need to tweak it a little more. Look at the CSS from the version 1 NON Ajax and you will see how to do images for the Tabs. Also, Take a look at the default CSS that came in the ZIP file (yours has been edited)..


Also:

Once I go INTO a post, on the given tab-board-topic.

The tabs no longer show - I have to go back to the main board, in order to see the tabs.

Is there a way to get the tabs to show on every Page, even when inside a post?

For example: http://thesocialrev.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=2
- No tab's show.

Yes, the Tabs are for the FORUM HOME only. The MOD only breaks out the FORUM HOME, that is what it was designed to do. With some customization, you can place a tabbed menu within the forum view and thread view, but that is only a menu system which would still have to bring you back to the forum home.

with that said, I do have a proto type that I am messing around with that actually keeps everything on one page.. ie, you click on a tab, it lists the forum content for that tab and when you click on a thread, the thread opens up in that container.... I am pretty sure that this is what some people want, but it is a massive rewrite of a lot of code and its not something thats going to become reality anytime soon..

[Sawa Dee SohL]

if/when that becomes public - please let me know :D

[nureeves]

dear all, i still don't understand about assigning cat ids to configure the tab ..
in these code:

<li class="selected"><a href="tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=1" rel="ajaxTFHcontentarea">TAB 1 NAME</a></li>

what shoud i change?

[King Kovifor]

changethe tabcat part. And either subscribe to this thread or click install, I'm sure that bob will send out an email about the beta.

[Doom Stone]

Thanks Bobster ;)

[nureeves]

hi again :)

it works well on Firefox, but looks bad when i preview on IE,
I don't have any idea about this ...

Thanks. I "installed' NON AJAX version but I have 2 problems:
1. Efficient is only one tab. 2nd and 3rd don't work.
2. I use the MGC Shoutbox, he's located below forums. When I brought changes SB is below forums (it's ok) but is doubly above forums too. :/

Please, help me...

[bobster65]

That is a CSS issue with some styles.. someone posted a solution to that awhile back.. you can search the thread for it and see if that works for you.. If I recall, it has something to do with one of the DIVs..... IF I get time, I will look into it, but all this support is delaying me releasing the next version.... if you can not find the solution that was posted, let me know and I will search for the solution for you...

1. Make sure you complete the install. Everyone gets so excited that Tab 1 is working that they forget to finish the install (Which is why the other tabs won't work)..

2. I don't use MGC Shoutbox, so I don't know what it would be showing double. Maybe someone that has knowledge of MGC Shoutbox can assist you?

FORUM 1 (no tab)

TABS (FORUM 1,2,3,4,5,6)

FORUM 2 (no tab)

How to do it?

And 2nd question :D
Where can I define forum's IDs to locate categories in spefyfic tab? E.g. categories 1,2,3 to TAB1, categories 4,7,12 to TAB2 etc.

I have read the instructions several times and still I do not know how to share (tabbed) a forum ...
When I click TAB1 I see all forums. When I click TAB2 I see some category, the same is the case TAB3.
How can I add my own, specyfic categories? I tried change additional code in index_tab.php, edit forumhome template, but it does not work. ;/
Please help me!

[Cust0ms]

Can anyone help me?

Hi all

I had exactly the same probs as TimberFloorAu

I had changed all the links etc too.

I found that the tabforumhome.php in the root had not uploaded correctly 0kb

after reloading it all worked

great MOD thanks

[fib]

Hold up

if you don't have javascript it is not working as it goes to tabforumhome.php showing a mess and therefore it is not degrading gracefully

Did I miss something or was I making an assumption?
was this not to do with the creating new template bit?

help please - I may have to uninstall

[King Kovifor]

This mod is dependent on JavaScript as is all AJAX.

[fib]

This mod is dependent on JavaScript as is all AJAX.

Thank you for your response

Modern web thinking would mean that AJAX used in sites should degrade gracefully meaning if no ajax it works through normal page loads

this is what I think happens with the new template and the <!-- main --> stuff we moved to the new template

my impression was that it would revert to the old template when no java present

I shall have to look at this in more detail - Can the developer clarify which way this lies

[Hamednet]

thanks dear

very nice !

[dazkeirle]

ok guys.

First: Anyone with a linux box, in the js file remove the "/" before clientscript in the source for the css and the loading gif. That will allow those to load.

Second: anybody noticing these display different by default on IE and firefox, It's because the line is added as a class to a break (<br>) instead of a div. Change to a div and all should be well.

I've installed the tabbing. And it looks nice: http://www.mygreatphone.com/forum

Only comments would be:

a) I'd really like it if i could add individual forums to a tab and not just categories.

b) A simple bit of code to show all cats (for my everything tab, instead of having to add everything)

c) The forums no longer show how many are viewing each forum, that would be a really welcome thing to have back, and may even be a deal breaker to whether i use this in the long term.

d)Would be great if it would degrade gracefully, so if no JS or ajax, that it loads the default or other non tabbed style.

Anyway, good for a work-print add-on, but a bit to go before it's perfect (ie. features not working like number viewing and lack of degradation.)

We agree with you, however, there is currently no checking to see if JS is disabled. This is something that is being looked into for the future versions. We are aware of it and it is in our plans.

Thank you for the constructive feedback.. much appreciated..

a) This will be possible with the new version (the final release, not the beta). You will be able to use the recent threads module with the beta to pull this off in the mean time.

b) This is an ACP Option with version 2 as well as user group permissions for each tab.

c) This is "fixed" in version 2 as well as Mark Forums Read.

d) as addressed above, this is something that has been in our plans and is being currently looked into as a high priority.

This is a great mod and it is exact what I've been looking for, but it has one fatal flaw...

Its usability is horrible, yes I'm aware you need a fair amount of knowledge to operate it, which I have no problems with, but still the amount of hoops I need to jump through just to make it look different is ridiculous :(

I've been trying to make it look like the Member Tabs on the vBStyles GreenFox skin, but with no luck.
If anyone would like to edit it themselves and post a new CSS up here I would love you ;)

I'm not a CSS guy, but 2.0 is much easier to set up - as almost no HTML / PHP knowledge is required because it now has an ACP back end. And YUI Tab View may have a simpler CSS - but I know we've cleaned it up for our specific release.

KK being a MOD has nothing to do with it... he is one of my co-developers, that is why he responds to peoples inqueries..

Version 2 uses the YUI Tab View Component which uses the default Tab View CSS (same one that default vB bases the Profiles off of) the CSS Skin file is all commented, so it is super easy to edit for non CSS Guru's, but built so that Advanced users can also take advantage to customize beyond the basics if they so choose to.

We are just finishing up with the Install Doc. Beta 2.0 will be released by this weekend.

It would be great if we could pull a logged-in user's subscribed forums list into a tab, and only display that tab if the user is logged in and has subscribed to any forums. This would be a great default tab for a logged-in user.

That's not a bad idea. I will see if I can get a module set up to allow this - and if I can I will release it either with 2.0 b2+ or 2.1+ as a default; before that it may only be an addon.

One question having searched this mammoth thread and not been able to find it...

I've got some members who prefer the old layout (roll eyes) - is there a way I can give them the choice whilst keeping the tabs in place ?

[maidos]

when the beta is out can we use the beta and upgrade to the stable version with no issue?

With the AJAX 1.5 version, having the tabbed categories on one skin doesn't affect the layout of a different skin. At least not as far as I've gathered from messing around with it for a while. So having multiple skin choices should solve that issue for you.

Yes. 2.0 is database driven, so only changes may be minor template chagnes for you to make.

[Magnumutz]

Can the same thing be done with bobster's other mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=191106 ?
Cuz that one is purely amazing.

[akulion]

any ideas when v2 will be out?

[Morsolo]

People, stop asking when will it be released.

Bobster has already said:
Beta is complete (as far as features/bugs) .. all that's left is install instructions (being drafted now)..
And then:
We are just finishing up with the Install Doc. Beta 2.0 will be released by this weekend.

So if everyone is patient, bobster can roll it out quicker.

Great news my friend all round.

I have since had another thought that would enhance the product.

The issue with the tabs being there is there's now no longer a front page status showing what threads have been updated and that contain new posts.

So what I'd suggest is instead of say my tabs saying:

Handsets | Networks | Info etc.

They say:

Handsets(2) | Networks(6) | Info

So basically any tabs which contain forums with new posts, the number of new posts is collated and displayed on the actual tab.

Hope that makes sense.

Else the only thing i see as a problem is that the frontpage tabbed section gets all the attention and nobody ever updates the other sections.

Food for thought.

[xcingix]

:o - Edited. Hopefully the edit is ok?

[xcingix]

Multiple categories can be under the same tab. You still need to construct a forum bit for each one tho.. so you would do something like

$forumbits2a = construct_forum_bit(13,1,0);
$forumbits2b = construct_forum_bit(14,1,0);

In the instructions document, Tab 3 Sample is set up to display multiple categories, so just take a look at that part of the setup :)
how do i "construct a forum bit for each one" where do i do this?

Is there a way to do this?

http://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr58/Vindictive1212/Tabs.jpg

[King Kovifor]

With some serious hacking yes. TFH was never designed to place the tabs up there.

[Vindictive]

What version are the demo sites running? Ajax?

[Morsolo]

With some serious hacking yes. TFH was never designed to place the tabs up there.

Hey, here's a suggestion :)

I imagine this would be rather difficult but it seems nothing is to hard for you guys.
If the new 2.0 has an AdminCP backend, what if you made the mod so you could choose where to place the tabs?

For example:
- Above FORUMDISPLAY (default)
- At very top of site
- Above navbar (Like in vb.org)
- Footer
etc.

That would be awesome, but that's just a suggestion ;)

[King Kovifor]

They are both running the non-ajax version.

That would be extremely difficult because we would need to use different variables, track them, and open up the possibility of quite a few more template edits then there currently are.

I finally finished adding my own tabs above the navbar.

A few template edits never killed anyone ;)

Just do what the vBAdManagement does, use variables to control and you can just make template edits and put things like $vbhook[above_navbar_tabs] and $vbhook[above_forumdisplay_tabs] in certain sections.
($vbhook isn't the right thing, I know, lol)

But I'm talking from an end-users point of view, I have no idea how to code any of this. :)

[Pirat3]

Great mod, but I was wondering is it possible to have each tab have its OWN custom theme? So say I clicked on Tab1 it would have THEME1 I would click on TAB2 it would have THEME2, TAB 3 - theme 3, etc...

It's nice iudchesne... but there's a huge gap between the forum cateogries and the tabs.

No news for the version 2? I thought it will be released this last week end. No problems on my side at all, I'm just impatient to install it since it looks to be the best plugin for vb :p

Some real life situations arose that prevented us from completing install instructions.

A very close friend of mine was killed in a terrible car accident... Having had a hard time dealing with it, so my online time has been limited.. Will try and get something out tomorrow if possible.

:( - That's horrible mate... Don't rush anything, you need a break.

[Pirat3]

Great mod, but I was wondering is it possible to have each tab have its OWN custom theme? So say I clicked on Tab1 it would have THEME1 I would click on TAB2 it would have THEME2, TAB 3 - theme 3, etc...

Any update?

It is one of the few things that we can only claim to feel for, for we will never know what the feeling is like unless it happens to one of us, god forbid. I sincerely hope that you will be who you were before the tragic incident and henceforth.

I am truly sorry to hear about another persons death.

This one doesn't seem to work with 3.8, any idea?

What problems are you experiencing exactly?

[Ricsca]

With firefox works but with internet explorer no. Why?

I assume you have fixed the error, as the forum tabs work fine for me in Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer.

ASAP going mad here, dont know how to change which forums you see in each tab?

[proxx]

I have installed the 1.5 version.

However, I would like to modify the look of the tabs. I want to change the font, make larger, change colors of tabs. Also, would be nice to be able to use an image within a tab.

could you please direct me to the right template to edit for this.

All of that is done by editing the .CSS File

Sorry for the delay peeps.. I'm finally back to work and will be getting in touch with KK to finish up a few things so we can get version 2 released...

we support you all the way, definetly the coolest mod around.

[lowey]

What a fantastic modification. Thanks a lot!

Still I'm encountering the following issue, which drives me insane: although I've assigned class="selected" to one of my tabs, it does not open by default when entering the homepage. It's rather always the first tab defined in FORUMHOME, which will open up.

Any ideas on how to fix that? And is there a way of not showing the "retrieving content..."-progress-indicator atall? Thanks again. Keep up the good work! :)

[thaker]

There is a interesting problem i had:

<!-- Tabbed Forum Home Header Code -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/clientscript/tabs/ajaxtabs.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="/clientscript/tabs/ajaxtabs.js"> </script>
<!-- /Tabbed Forum Home Header Code -->
There was a point missing:
<!-- Tabbed Forum Home Header Code -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./clientscript/tabs/ajaxtabs.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="./clientscript/tabs/ajaxtabs.js"> </script>
<!-- /Tabbed Forum Home Header Code -->
It costs me a lot of hours to find this problem and I found no hint in this thread.

Now it works great.

[lowey]

Hm, this does not help with my issue though. Thanks anyway!

if somone could just highlight in like red, the exact part of code to change for changeing the Category? so do a few examples say i want cat 5 then cat 6 then 7........all in seperate tags

pleas ehighlight in another color and break it down

thanks

[Brother Malachi]

imk, from what I could tell you've installed v1.0. I'd recommend waiting another few days until v2.0 is out...or if you can't wait - or don't want to - then uninstall what you have, then install v1.5 which is much simpler to install with better overall functionality.

[imk]

THANKS PROBLEM SOLVED.....HOWEVER COULD SOMONE SUGGEST A FIX FOR THIS

WWW.FULLHELP.COM

if you click on one of the cell links e.g. Forum Help.

then it's linked to the forum help cat, but then this hack doenst show up...any reason? or way i can make it so it shows?

[Brother Malachi]

You're linking directly to the category and not the forumhome[page] which is where the hack works.
You need to change your links to point to index.php instead of forumdisplay.php
I believe there was a way to have a specific tab be active. I just don't remember. Look in the documentation.

this wont work tho, as it will just view my first cat, not the spercific one

[Brother Malachi]

Like I said, there should be a way to display a specific tab via the url. index.php?f=id
or something along those lines. Check the documentation.

Actually, I think I'm confusing this mod with another one. It would be best to let bobster answer this for you. Sorry if I confused you.

[YsTyle]

i installed like you said in the readme file,
but it looks like the CSS and the AJAX does not work.
i uploaded all files.

[imk]

^make sure the files direct to the uploaded ones, like with me they are /client

but my client is in /forum/client

so you may need to change the paths........

ill wait for Bob then

[illithid]

On your website main page edit the links in the cell to reflect the tab view of each cat... so on your index page for the Coding Help, instead of the link being
http://fullhelp.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=6
it should be
http://fullhelp.com/forum/index.php?ajaxTFH=2

I checked you website and recorded each of your cell links, then matched them to your tab links on your forum.. Here is a list of what your links should be when you edit the cell addresses


Community : http://fullhelp.com/forum/index.php?ajaxTFH=0
Forum Help : http://fullhelp.com/forum/index.php?ajaxTFH=1
Coding Help : http://fullhelp.com/forum/index.php?ajaxTFH=2
Design Help : http://fullhelp.com/forum/index.php?ajaxTFH=3
Domain Help : http://fullhelp.com/forum/index.php?ajaxTFH=4

Content Help : http://fullhelp.com/forum/index.php?ajaxTFH=6
Market Place : http://fullhelp.com/forum/index.php?ajaxTFH=7


Notice that the links are numbered according to the order in which you set them to be displayed.

Hey.. I'm using 1.5.0

I'm having probs, here's my forum: http://infodocs.net/~mystt/forum/index.php?styleid=2

Just take a look at it >.<, the tabs don't show. Also when I install 1.0 it says an error with global.

Check the paths to your JS and CSS.

What about Sarge :(

I'm confused.

you mean changing the vB style as a whole, or just the Data within the Content DIV?

[Pirat3]

I mean it switches themes when I click on a diffrent tab. Like if I clicked on TAB a it would display theme a if I clicked on tab b it would display theme b

[bobster65]

not sure what a "theme" is. is a "theme" the same thing as a vBulletin Style? If its a vbulletin style that you are wanting to change upon clicking on a tab, I suppose its possible to do that via AJAX....

[Wazran]

Where can I check the paths?

Here's the code:
<!-- Tabbed Forum Home Header Code -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/clientscript/tabs/ajaxtabs.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="/clientscript/tabs/ajaxtabs.js"> </script>
<!-- /Tabbed Forum Home Header Code -->

Although, that's the right place. Could someone possibly go into my forum and fix it for me? (Note that is the directory, however, it is located on a /forum directory; does that matter?)

Just put the FULL URL Path to the files (in red below)

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.domainname/forum/clientscript/tabs/ajaxtabs.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.domainname/forum/clientscript/tabs/ajaxtabs.js"> </script>

Works like a charm and I love it. Thank you!

Tho, is there a way to make the buttons bigger? Thanks. +Nominated

Yes theme/style same thing :)

Do you know how to do this? I would be perfer to do it the manual way too if I knew how. (My site has pretty high traffic)

hello bob,
just wanna say .. can wait for v.2 :)

[ArnyVee]

LOL....everytime there is a new post, I jump over to this thread to see if 2.0 is released yet! :D

Can't wait either!

[squishi]

Sorry if this has been asked before in this thread. I have no time to browse through 67 pages.

This mod works very well for me.
What I noticed, though, is that the number of users viewing a forum does no longer show.
Is there a fix for this?

This is fixed in the next version which is done, just doing some last minute things and making sure the install instructions cover everything possible..

[bobster65]

Why was my post just like skipped?

its not that it was skipped, I just don't have time right now to trouble shoot version 1.0 when I am trying to get version 2.0 released to everyone.

Maybe someone that has 1.0 installed can give you a hand.... from what I seen of your code, it should not be doing what your screen shots show.

It was tempting. lol. Want any more spoilers?

Keep 'em comin'! :D
