wow nice mod indeed ;)

one thing that is annoying is viewing the "whos online list" and see members viewing "forum home", and when you click the link it brings you to tabforumhome.php page, and its a complete mess lol.

will this be fixed or?

I don't think that Ajax version could be SEO friendly, as in home source code doesn't appear the main forum index structure.
Non-ajax is absolutely SEO friendly, but not Ajax version.

You have to change the path of the link to your actual forum home page, such as index.php, I'm afraid I can't quite remember where that was and I don't have time to check at the moment, only on for a quick sec, sorry.

I don't think this has been asked before, but it's crossed my mind a couple of times and I figure, why not. I notice I can pull pretty much any page into the AJAX version of the tabs. Say, for example, I put downloads.php as one of the tab links, it loads it just fine.

Now, the only problem with that is that since downloads.php uses templates and calls the navbar and header, you get duplicates. That's easily enough fixed by simply removing the $header and $navbar variables from the template. Only problem now, is when people visit a do= page of downloads.php, or any page that uses that same template, it loads a new page with no header and template.

So going the long way around to get to the question, is there an if conditional I could use to hide the navbar and header when loaded via AJAX only?

Hi Jedi,

Why not doing as for forum_home by creating a new template resuming the code of download.php without the header, navbar and footer ?

That's one of the draw backs with the module system I coded for v2. It includes everything - and it requires a separate file to work. I've tried to think of a way to effectively resolve this - but I just haven't had the idea that will work.

I was considering just putting the internal downloads links to open in a separate Pop-Up window, thereby forgoing the need for a Navbar, Header and Footer. I'll probably give that a try.

Too bad you can't put some kind of identifier into the templates or file so that it knows if it's being loaded via AJAX or not.

That might work, I'd just have to invest the time into trying it out.

Hi Bobster,

You will be getting fed up with this...

I have installed the mod on the test forum no problems - adjusted paths and got the tabs up etc.

I only get the 'requesting content' message with the loading icon.

I have set up three categories 1, 5 and 7 with some forums grouped below.

OK so where's the slip

cheers

RoyMogg

Edit: The issue was quite simple I have a custom style where the mod was installed. This style is now the default and ' allow users to change styles' set to off - all is OK.

Great Hack - installed and nominated

Took a quick look for you.
You can find the part you need to edit if you go to 'Plugin & Products' in your admin CP, then go to your 'plugin manager' and you are looking for 'Tabbed Forum Home WOL Unknown'.

When you click that and it brings you the edit area, you can find the part that says 'href=\"index.php?{$vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl_q']}\">Forum Home</a>";' Where index.php is going to be forumhome.php or whatever it is originally, just edit that to link to the main page ie; index.php.

Pretty sweet, got it working. Straight from the installation code, there was an unnecessary space between the tabs and the tcat... also, customization isn't very documented in regards to changing the tab colors and what not, but you can figure it out if you have the slightest idea what you're doing. :p

Nice work.

Hi Bobster56
I have noticed in the demo websites you gave
"DEMO: www.bbwforums.net or www.namepros.com"
that when we click on the Tabs it doesnt Show the .gif and Request Content
and the Categories display fast as soon as we click on the tabs.

But with me and other guys here, we have to wait for the Request to go,
I Removed the gif and Request Content text from the ajaxtabs.js, it loads the content now only but it takes like 2 to 3 seconds to load the new content.
Keeping in mind I have a very small forum with very less categories compared to the demos u gave.

So Please is there a way to make the instance fast just like the demos, like the content shows immediatly as we click on the tab.

Thanks.

Brother Malachi
10-29-2008, 02:58 AM
The demos are v1.0 which isn't AJAX. In 1.0 all the tab content is loaded with the page. Version 1.5 = AJAX in which tabs are loaded upon clicking on them.

One bug I have to report is that, if a user is on the forum index, it shows as "viewing forum home" in the online list, and it redirects directly to tabforumhome.php, where it gives a white page with this error several times:

Warning: in_array() [functions-in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/includes/functions_forumlist.php(395) : eval()'d code on line 1

And then the "mark forums read" and "forum leaders" buttons.

Anyway to fix this and have the "forum home" link redirect to the index rather than the tabsforumhome file?

You'll just have to revert templates, make new template changes, and go through the addition of the tabs again using the ACP.

I've fixed this for v2.0.0 which is now just waiting for Install Instructions. If you open up the WOL plugin listed being at the hook of online_location_unknown and remove the tabforumhome and replace it with the following:

" . $vbulletin->options['forumhome'] ."

This will fix your problem.

Also, I cannot reproduce the wrong data type. This may have accidently been fixed in v2.0.0 but I can't reproduce it (the direct link just has no styling).

Excuse me if the answer is an obvious one but, what's the difference between this produce and the AJAX Tabs Content Script v3.0 (YUI) (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=191106) product?

banners change when I change of style
forums icons are nicely presented

are these two features also part of any of the two products?

Thank You

AJAX Tabs Content Script is for various Tabbed Content (other than just Tabbing out the Forum Home Categories). It was originally released just for vBa CMPS, however, it can also be used on all pages as well. You do not need vBa CMPS to run it.. I have it installed on Forum Home, some additional vB pages, Non VB Pages etc..

Once TFH v2 is released, all Content Files that have been written/released for AJAX Tabs can also be used in conjunction with TFH through the new "modules" interface .. ie, Tabs for Blogs, Recent Threads, Photo Albums, GARS, vBa LINKS, etc

BBWForums was the site that I wrote the original version of the Mod for. That site is running the NON AJAX Version. He may have done some modifications to it since then, but the Banners and Forum ICONS have nothing to do with this modification. They are stand alone mods.

Well now I wouldn't say that.

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..

The WOL plugin is working fine for me, not sure what the issue would be if it isn't working for you though.

2.0 is done. I may be able to post up some quick screenshots as a teaser to show we aren't lying. So if all goes will it should be out asap.

I know, it's just becoming ridiculous...

I'm sure there's plenty of good reasons why the mod is late, but it just annoys me how people keep saying "It's just around the corner" or "Just finishing up" and then nothing happens for a month.

Don't make promises that you aren't going to keep, or that you doubt will be successful.
Free modification, made for free by non-Vb staff in their free time. You have no rhyme or reason to be annoyed. You've invested nothing into it's development, even if you donated, well, that's why it's called a donation; you expect nothing in return. You have no idea if they're not going to be able to finish or be able to finish. You also have no idea what more important things have come up in the developers lives. This stuff is when you get around to it kind of stuff and comes second to everything else in their lives, as it should.

I don't care about the mod itself, it's late for whatever reason and I don't care.

It's just that people keep saying that it's done and it'll be out by tonight or tomorrow, but it never is.
Just do the Blizzard thing and say "It'll be out when it's out".

Another bug report:

The tabbed forums seem to get rid of user view count for forums.

Instead of saying "Main Forum (1 Viewing)," it now only says "Main Forum."

It's not essential, but it's definitely something to look into fixing.

No, its not "people" its me. I've said more than once that it is done (which the BETA version is) and that I'm writing install instructions for it and I have said twice now that it would be posted "this week". Unfortunately, things have come up that have prevented me from doing so and I am not going to release something without solid instructions as I don't have the time to answer everyone's questions, so I am making damn sure that the instructions cover everything for every level of member possible. Doing so takes time, but you are right, I should have never said anything.

It will be out when its out.. in the mean time... KK will post some screens and maybe some additional info on it..

I am out again for a few days as I have deadlines with clients to meet. KK or Bree can answer any questions in my absence.

I've done this by loading the forums the regular way, along with the ajax tabbed version, wrapping each in a separate div with the ajax by default being set to hidden, and then using javascript to change the ajax's div to visible and the regular version to be hidden. If this isn't fixed in v2.0 then I could see about posting instructions...

CHIPIT

OK, to get the forums to display without javascript...

1) Open your modified FORUMHOME template

2) Find <!-- Tabbed Forum Home --> and below it put <div id="show" style="display:none">3) Find <!-- /Tabbed Forum Home --> and above it put </div>4) Find <!-- /main --> and above it put
<div id="hide">
$forumbits
$forumhome_markread_script
</div>5) Below <!-- /main --> put
<script type="text/javascript">
function showelement(element) {
if (document.getElementById) {
document.getElementById(element).style.display = 'block';
}
else {
if (document.layers) {
document.element.display = 'block';
}
else {
document.all.element.style.display = 'block';
}
}
}
function hideelement(element) {
if (document.getElementById) {
document.getElementById(element).style.display = 'none';
}
else {
if (document.layers) {
document.element.display = 'none';
}
else {
document.all.element.style.display = 'none';
}
}
}

showelement('show');
hideelement('hide');
</script>6) Go to ACP > Styles and Templates > Template Manager > Edit Templates > forumhome > forumhome_level1_nopost and change the conditional to:
<if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT == 'tabforumhome' AND in_array($forum['forumid'], $GLOBALS[tabcats])) OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay' OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'">This is for the AJAX 1.5 version, though it can be changed to work with v1.0.1. If it doesn't work then double check you did everything right. This is unsupported. Please note doing this will load your forums the regular way along side the ajax version, even if you have javascript enabled, but the regular display will be hidden with javascript.

No, it is NOT BS and it is not advertising to get people to the site. I could give a crap less if anyone goes there. It is a support site geared towards Beta Testing Mods with PT (Project Tools) for bug tracking (since PT is not an option here at vborg). There is nothing BS about it. If this site allowed members to use Project Tools for beta releases, I'd gladly do that instead, but that isn't going to be happening anytime soon so we came up with our own plan for beta releases, beta testing and bug tracking....

King Kovifor
12-08-2008, 08:05 PM

I think it's smart to rework the bugs out before re-releasing 2.0. There were already WAY too many folks complaining about the issues and rather not rush it and do it right.

KK/Bob, if we are to install 1.5, is it a difficult process to update to 2.0 later? (I couldn't remember what the 'upgrade' instructions detailed, so I just wanted to be clear before installing 1.5)

Or, do you anticipate 2.0 being re-released within the next month?

I've already started to talk up the tabbed forum home (as I've also added the vBadvanced tabbed module (Thanks Bob! :) ) and so they are getting anxious to see it. I can delay them, but just wanted an educated guess so that I can give them a timeframe that we're shooting for to have this 'feature'/'upgrade' on our site.

Thanks for the work you've done guys! It seems that folks here on vB.org sometimes fail to realize that these mods are done for the good of the community and offered FREE as opposed to other scripts out there that have communities which charge an arm and a leg for modifications.

This fixed it (rather than using the relative paths that come in the install guide).

Can you specify which categories go out under a tab or will ALL categories create a new tab?

Thanks

How can I do this?

To be able to click a tab ie, portal / forums and have just the portal / forum come up

Here's a rough image, lol.

Bob/KK (or anyone else for that matter),

Can this mod be used to display the subforums within a forum in an organized manner?

What I mean is this....I have a forum "Glam Rock Bands" which has 56 subforums (one for each of the bands). http://www.glamrocktalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=3

What I'd like to do is take the bands and group them alphabetically (A-E, F-J, etc) with tabs. Is this possible within ForumDisplay? If so, where/how do I actually make the adjustments?

Not the way you have your forum organized now. What this does is modify the standard display of forumhome and group Categories under each time. What you would need to do is categorize each of your band subforums under categories like you mentioned. A-E, F-J, etc. Then place each category under it's own tab. Conversely you could make each subforum its own category and just put the categories you want under each tab (I shudder at the amount of editing that would take), but either way this would be displayed on your forum home page along with all the tabs to your other forum categories.

Digital Jedi
12-21-2008, 11:04 PM
Well, for step 6 anyway, break it apart:



FIND <!-- Tabbed Forum Home -->
below that look for the DIV that contains these <li> tags. I've included 3 SAMPLEs for us to work with (as listed below)
<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>
<li><a href="tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=1&tabcat[]=2&tabcat[]=3" rel="ajaxTFHcontentarea">TAB 3 NAME</a></li>


Did you find this area yet? It should have been added back in Step 2b.


OK now, lets get Categories to display under each tab.
You will notice that each <li> has a weird looking URL "tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=1&tabcat[]=2"
To set a category you simply assign a category ID number to a tabcat[] variable like this: tabcat[]=1

Do like it says, and add your ID number of the forums categories you want showing up under a given tab.


To have more than one category show up under a tab, just concat them like this: "tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=1&tabcat[]=2&tabcat[]=3"
Its THAT simple.

And string them like that if you want more then one under a given tab.

I changed the Tabbed Forum Home WOL Unknown Plugin to

$userinfo['action'] = 'Viewing forum home';
$userinfo['where'] = "";
}

to remove the messed up links.

Remember, these folks are putting in time and effort for no money. So, if there is a little bit of a slow response, please respect the fact that they could actually be busy with their personal lives at the moment.

Hopefully, you can get your question answered by someone else in the community who might be reading these posts, but I would still give it a day or two after the holiday weekend before giving up all hope.

An unstyled list means your CSS wasn't pointing to the right directory, or your CSS file wasn't in the correct directory. And you probably did the same thing with the Javascript. If it can't find the files, its going to display the way you described.

We have released beta 3 to the beta testers with a few new features. Here is an explanation on them and a preview for non-beta testers:

Hey! We have been hard at work on Beta 3 and have some new features to show for it!

Direct Links

New in v2.0.0 Beta 3 is the ability to directly link to any tab or module. Now, when you edit or add a tab or module, you are given a new option: varname. This varname should be simple and short as the URLs will look like this:

http://www.smnlikdat.org/forum.php?varname=tabbed

That URL will take you to the tab this is defined with the varname "tabbed" (which would be the tabbed scripts tab here).

Modules have the same set up.

Note: The upgrade will create default varnames as tID for tabs and mID for modules. Then it will combine the two tables and create a single table for tabs and modules. So only tID will now correspond to the ID for tabs and modules.

Tab Positioning

With Beta 3, you can now specify a 'display order' for you tabs. The product will rearrange your tabs based on this display order. Display order combines both tabs and modules. ;)

Module Description

Any module author can release modules with a description now (Module ImpEx supports the export and import of descriptions).

ACP Improvements

The ACP has been improved to redirect you after any action in the ACP to the appropriate place. This means you no longer have to click in the left hand navigation to go back to the tabs or modules index page.

Beta testers can play with this release now, but if you aren't a beta tester, there are a few slots left open, so please PM me, Bree, of Bob to gain access.

We've been concentrating on version 2.x which we have running on 3.8.0 RC1 .. I've not tested 1.5 on 3.8x yet and probably won't (as development on 1.5 has stopped). I've seen 1.5 running on a few 3.8x sites tho, so it should. Not a very good answer, but all of our efforts have been focused on 2.x series ..

Put the address to the files the same way the address would appear in your address bar: http://www.yoursite.com/clientscript/tabs/ajaxtabs.css for example. This is assuming you've put your CSS and JS files in the right place to begin with.

Hello,

im sorry, my english is very bad.
I installed Ajax Tab Forum Home 1.5.0

In the install instructions i read this:
OK now, lets get Categories to display under each tab.

You will notice that each <li> has a weird looking URL "tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=1&tabcat[]=2"

To set a category you simply assign a category ID number to a tabcat[] variable like this: tabcat[]=1

To have more than one category show up under a tab, just concat them like this: "tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=1&tabcat[]=2&tabcat[]=3"

Its THAT simple.


I do that, but there no categorys or not all i write in the "code" and example
in Tab 2 are the same categorys as Tab1 :confused:,

please look at picture an my forumhome


Can someone help me?

Thanks Meverik

the [] need to be empty.. nothing goes in them you have a bunch of them with values in them.. it needs to be tabcat[]=CATID ie

so your first li would be tabcat[]=3&tabcat[]=4&tabcat[]=5&tabcat[]=24&tabcat[]=10

instead of tabcat[3]=1&tabcat[4]=2&tabcat[5]=3&tabcat[24]=4&tabcat[10]=5
