[AJAX] Tabbed Forum Home

[TheLastSuperman]

Is there away to link a TAB button to a forum instead of a category?

<li><a href="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=1">Forum Name here</a></li>

See if that works in between the UL tags where you name the tabs, I removed the names and replaced w/ only images so I have not tested but it will redirect only i.e. it loads that page but not the forum within the forumhome naturally :p

woot thanks a bunch for all your help!

[mikey1991]

Aha, Brilliant! Though I would strongly reccommend that you remove the / before /clientscript.. as it's caused most of the errors here, other than that, worked like a charm mate, installed!

[yotsume]

EDITED: I changed my message here because I mistakenly read the wrong instructions file. I read the Read Me first imagine that! The fresh install instructions are in the other file! DOH! No destroying of templates needed!

Reverting templetes is a major no no for people who uses mods. Be warned! BACK UP YOUR TEMPLATES before upgrading or installing this!

REQUEST: Can there be a Admin panel to edit the tabs instead of manually editing the templates for tab content. THAT WOULD ROCK! Any plans for that?

Sorry bout that! at some point I need to UPDATE the zip with better install doc!

As far as an Admin panel, we do have that in the next version (which is still in beta phase)...

Do the following edits for "cyb sub forum manager":
In the plugins Cyb - Sub-Forum Manager - CT and Cyb - Sub-Forum Manager 1

change
if ($vbulletin->options['cybsfa_enable'] AND (THIS_SCRIPT=='index' OR THIS_SCRIPT=='forumdisplay'))

to
if ($vbulletin->options['cybsfa_enable'] AND (THIS_SCRIPT=='index' OR THIS_SCRIPT=='forumdisplay' OR THIS_SCRIPT=='tabforumhome'))

Thanks for this fix!

This tab mod rocks. I now use this and the vba version! Awesome stuff. I can't wait for the next version! WHEN??? lol

PROBLEM RESOLVED: Internet Explorer 7 and 8 Bug?

In IE7 or IE8 my tabs are floating above my forum container.

How can I fix that. (Working fine in Firefox)

See attached screen shot.

THANKS!

EDIT: After some serious hunting I was able to find the fix for IE which is in my next post.

[yotsume]

In FF works fine...
i am not expert in css...but i try to modify something:(

EDIT: i deleted <br style="clear: left" /> and now the layout in IE6 is ok! ;)
Great mod!

Thank You For This Fix! My tabs now work in FF, IE 7 and 8! To be clear you have to remove this line from your FORUMHOME template to correct this issue in IE.

Its too bad this fix was lost in the threads. The instructions need to be updated so we don't all waste our time hunting 100+ pages of posts. :)

Now I have to find some "MAC Head" to test my site using Safari. hehehe

[yotsume]

I just installed the mod: Mark Thread as [Solved] for 3.8x (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=211020). Once that mod is enabled all the threads that are clicked on show as a complete white screen.

This mod requires you to edit the SHOWTHREAD template with to replacements. Can someone look and see if this can be modified to work with our beloved tab forum home mod here please! :)

Is it possible that there is a problem or conflict similar to CYB Sub Forum Manager?

Can anyone give some help with this conflict?

[Damien1990]

The tabs are there but I get this message.

Warning: Division by zero in [path]/tabforumhome.php(125) : eval()'d code on line 521

[Icehawk002]

Its a very long thread and I have probably missed the answer.

Having installed the 1.5 Ajax version the tabs appear fine but I see no forums just image and text Requesting content...

Help please.

Edit.

I am running on local host I checked the paths and now get tabs ok but this error message

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in ...\htdocs\forums\tabforumhome.php(126) : eval()'d code on line 25[/CODE]

[Icehawk002]

How do I identify the category number?

the only reference I can find is the forumid (f=1) although it is set to category.

thanks

[Icehawk002]

Anyone?

if you tell me if i can use an image as a tab then i will stop waiting for V2 for now.

[bobster65]

if you tell me if i can use an image as a tab then i will stop waiting for V2 for now.

Its all done via CSS... I've seen multiple YUI Tab apps with images as Tabs. I'm not a CSS expert however, so maybe one of the CSS Guru's on the YUI Forums can help you out.

[Jeffler]

No matter what I do, the colours come up for me as shades of red, even though the CSS has them as blue shades. Any help?

However, oddly enough, I made an unrelated template edit to the navbar, and it fixed it. Weird.

I've not used that in conjunction with this, but it seems like it should work ok.... you just need to compare both sets of template edits making sure the changes from both get incorporated. Probably easiest to revert the two forumbit templates back to original, do his replace, then do the edits from this into that.

See, I'm a genius and forgot to enable the plugin *facepalm*. I just transitioned the board over and hence have forgotten quite a few small details. Thanks again!

the system isn't finding the CSS file(s) ... either remove the / before clientscript or put the full path to both the CSS and JS files ..

Try removing both the / before clientscript .. (in red below)

Lots of people have request the answer to this. Ive search through. I even found the post that said 'search white space' -- I did that as well.. found many people with this same question that went unanswered. Hopefully someone can help. Id like to remove the white space or space between the categories of my forum... it doesnt happen on cat=1 but everyone after that has space before and after.

Not without modification to the core vB code unfortunately. AWJunkies was working on something along those lines, however, I've not had a chat with him in awhile as we've both been super busy.

Now the question remains is, I have done everything correctly but where it says Easy Part in read me file, i am stucked there, If i don't edit it, it only shows 3 tabs one after another but not like it is supposed to show and if i edit it, nothing shows up

Please confirm so i can start working on it again

are you asking about SmnLikDat site? If so, we are running TFH v2 on that site and it has the capabilities of assigning content modules to tabs along with Forums.. there are a bunch of different modules (Recent Threads, Blogs, Project Tools, Photo Albums etc) and you can build your own content files and upload them as modules to use with it. Also, any content modules built for my other Tabbed Mods will work with TFH v2 ...

Is this supposed to be pointed at categories?

The complete forums for forumbits 1 works fine.

Using the example #2 I'm trying to point that at a category so that it will display the 4 forums in that category.

Should I really be using example #3 for something like that I have have to code in each and every subforum?

It doesn't matter if i point it at a category with many forums in it, a forum, or a forum with many subforums, it always looks strange.

If I point it as a forum with subforums the subforum displays like I'd expect.

Can it do the same thing when I point it at a category with several forums in it?

Yes, its based on pointing at Categories.. use the CategoryID and it will displays forums within that category.

[popowich]

Is a category ID different than a forum ID number?

[bobster65]

When you make a FORUM act as a CATEGORY, the Category ID is that FORUMS ID .... hope that makes sense.

bobster65, if i install this will it create problems for the search engines? will my page rank....etc suffer?

[bobster65]

bobster65, if i install this will it create problems for the search engines? will my page rank....etc suffer?

If you are worried about that, then just make a tabbed style (or child style) and have the default style (that guests like search engines would see) non tabbed. Its best to allow your users to have a choice between tabbed and non tabbed anyway IMHO...

I actually have installed it with no problem at all on numerous occassions... but asked for help earlier to try and get this set up like http://www.dailysportspages.com/forums/index.php and you gave advice but i still cant get it - are you able to provide help to have it set up like that site?

I thought I got it figured out but after doing the coding it didn't work so I kinda gave up. I currently do have a development site however have not actually installed the tabbed forum home as I was awaiting some help with this (I even contacted that website to ask).

My development site is actually a new project I am working on and would like to see forum tabs used on it. If you like (its 3am my time) I will install forum tabs when I wake up and will let you know the address etc

[Simon Lloyd]

Bobster65, i installed this for the first time, follwed your instructions (only the ones in the Tabbed Forum Home Installation instructions.txt) to the letter but i don't have any tabs just links one under each other, when clicking one of the links the forum shows as a white page with the forum home exploded all over it with no tabs to get back......what have i done wrong?

EDIT:Installed the Ajax version and am using vb3.8.4

[Simon Lloyd]

I have fixed it to a fashion, i had to be explicit as to where the clientscript folder was using <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/clientscript/tabs/ajaxtabs.css" /> instead of <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/clientscript/tabs/ajaxtabs.css" /> the only problem i have now is that i have only used single category id's but in some its also showing the category that appears below it?

[Simon Lloyd]

Sorted, my bad, didnt read the tabbedcat&....etc properly :)

[Simon Lloyd]

Bobster65, i have it working at last, what i would like to know is how do i keep the tabs visible at all times?, i have adjusted the forumhome slightly so the tabs are at the very top of the forum above $header however, when you click a forum within a category you get your standard look forum i.e there are no tabs at the top, i tried adding the tab code to the header but it gave me a white page with the selected forum exploded all over it (i'm assuming thats because it couldn't find a container - im no coder by the way) could you give some instruction as to always have them visble?

If you are trying to simulate what vborg is doing, you are using the wrong Modification. This simply replaces the existing FORUMHOME listing of Categories and allows you to put them into a Tabbed Container on the FORUMHOME page. Just like default forum home, when you click on a FORUM link, it goes to a FORUM DISPLAY page (which is generated using a different PHP file and set of functions and templates)...

Now, what you CAN DO is make a template modification to the FORUMDISPLAY pages that have a Tabbed MENU that will take viewers to other Forums... kinda like combining the two MODS..

Depends on if they made/make any changes to the core files/functions in regards to the $forumbits ... if they do, then some recoding will have to take place. If they make an cosmetic changes to any of the FORUMHOME templates, then those changes will have to be made as well (which won't take much to fix)..

Won't know until I can see vb4.x

Also, in case this is helpful for someone new coming in and not wanting to read 105 pages, I had to set my paths to the clientscript files to be my WHOLE path, i.e., http://www.myforum.com/forums/... etc for it to work.

Good luck!

How can it be that I followed the instructions exactly as written, TWICE, and still don't have tabs? All I get is a regular unordered list. I even reverted the relevant templates to the defaults before starting, just to be sure it worked. :confused:

Edit: Found the solution. I had applied Schnee's fix above, but not to this part of 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 -->

Once I did that, it worked fine. Perhaps this should be in the installation instructions? ;)

try removing the / from the clientscript path for both the js and css includes .. that are put the fully URL to those files..

[cbiweb]

Thanks, bobster. :) I'll take out the full URLs and leave off the / like you suggest. I'd rather do that because full URLs can come back to bite! ;)

Thanks, bobster. :) I'll take out the full URLs and leave off the / like you suggest. I'd rather do that because full URLs can come back to bite! ;)

Did that work for ya? The reason it does that (unordered list) is because it can't find the CSS file, so its definitely a path issue to the CSS file..

ya, use the "selected" calls on the specific li tag (Like in Red below)..

<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>
<li><a href="tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=1&tabcat[]=2&tabcat[]=3" rel="ajaxTFHcontentarea">TAB 3 NAME</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

[cbiweb]

Removing the / worked perfect. :D

Using the "selected" call doesn't seem to be working though. I've made sure that only the tab I want selected has the call. Here's the code from my template:

<div id="ajaxTFH" class="TFHmenu2">
<ul>
<li><a href="/tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=12" rel="ajaxTFHcontentarea">THE LOBBY</a></li>
<li class="selected"><a href="/tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=60" rel="ajaxTFHcontentarea">TECH SUPPORT</a></li>

<li><a href="/tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=7&tabcat[]=8&tabcat[]=10" rel="ajaxTFHcontentarea">STAFF</a></li>
</ul>
</div>I want the Tech Support tab to be default on page load, but it's not, it just stays on whatever tab was last used. :(

That looks correct .. did you try and flip flop the 2 li lines (lobby and Tech support) so that the selected is the first tab (just to make sure that is working)

Just tried flip flopping the tabs, and they changed places as expected, but the "selected" didn't do its thing.

That's weird... I'll have to dig into it and see if I can replicate the problem and then recommend a solution..

[princeedward]

thanks for this...

using vb3.8.4 here and Bingoskin 3.8.3

...tried everyrthing to find the solutions but i guess it has a conflict or problem with Cyb - Sub-Forum Manager 2.5.1?

i am not sure but it keeps pushing my forumhome page wider to the right side...or is there anything i can do for this not to happen?

turn off cyb mod and it goes okay....

appreciate any help here...

best regards...

;)

[tafreeh]

What is the update on V2.
Would you be able to release it with VB4 ?

There is a solution to get this working with Cyb's Sub Forum Manager .. just do a quick search on this thread.... I don't have it memorized, but its pretty easy to implement.

[bobster65]

I won't know anything about vb4 until I can get my hands on it just like everyone else that is waiting on it. Its obvious that the FORUMHOME Template(s) will be changed, so there will be some recoding that needs to happen. From what I gather, no core code has changed in regards to forum home, but again, until I see it, I can only guess.

Ya, with a custom style, you are going to have to do a little tweaking to this. The white bar on the bottom can be fixed be changing the background color in this DIV on the FORUMHOME template from white to match your style.

<div id="ajaxTFHcontentarea" style="border:0px solid gray; width:100%; height: 100%; background-color: white; padding: 0px"></div>

To fix the dupe output bar, it looks like you put the default vB main code into the FORUMHOMETAB template instead of your custom styles main code...

Could you tell me the name of the file that you must edit to change the color of the tabs please?if i'm not wrong you have to edit your ajaxtabs.css file... the one inside tabs folder

HTML Color Codes in there... eg: #2E9AFE;

you can find nice and easy color here...http://html-color-codes.info/

Bobster, i have a question for you.

Is it possible to remove/change the colour the requesting box which appears when it is looking for the forum data? The only reason i ask is because, my forum colors are pretty dark, being reds,greys and blacks, and having the white stands out alot. Thanks alot, for your time and effort. Much appreciated.

ya, just open the CSS File and look for #FFFFFF in regards to any elements like backgrounds and change it to a darker color to match your style..

Everything that controls the Font Colors is in the CSS. Don't forget when editing and reuploading the CSS file to do a Hard Refresh to reload CSS (in case its cached)..

Taking a look at your site with firebug, you can see that your page class (.page a:link, .page_alink) is overriding the TFH menu2 class (.TFHmenu2 a) and blocking the color and text decoration elements and replacing them with that blue color element from the page class..

[bobster65]

witch one is beater the 1.1 or 1.5?


thank you it worked....

Depends on what you want really. The first version is a non ajax version meaning when you load your forum home, all data for the tabs is loaded and you just switch back and forth between tabs and the data is what was loaded with the initial page load. The AJAX versions grab the info when the tab is selected.

both versions are unobtrusive meaning that Spiders can crawl them. What I suggest to those that are worried in anyway is to install this on a separate style or child style so that spiders would always hit a non tabbed version (giving you a piece of mind lol)..

Right now you will have to create separate CSS files for each style (so each style can have its own integration).

[princeedward]

hi bob...great mod and members really love this...my question is how come evry click to the tabs it create a space underneath for that loading gif to show?....can we avoid this? or is it possible to put that loading gif image on the last tab right side? just to avoid that space underneath? maybe?

please view my attachment image for more info what i meant here....

May have a go on this on my forum laters.

[cbiweb]

There is a solution to get this working with Cyb's Sub Forum Manager .. just do a quick search on this thread.... I don't have it memorized, but its pretty easy to implement.




Do the following edits for "cyb sub forum manager":
In the plugins Cyb - Sub-Forum Manager - CT and Cyb - Sub-Forum Manager 1

change
if ($vbulletin->options['cybsfa_enable'] AND (THIS_SCRIPT=='index' OR THIS_SCRIPT=='forumdisplay'))

to
if ($vbulletin->options['cybsfa_enable'] AND (THIS_SCRIPT=='index' OR THIS_SCRIPT=='forumdisplay' OR THIS_SCRIPT=='tabforumhome'))


Thank you, thank you THANK YOU for this fix! I was disappointed that I might not be able to use both mods, but now I see I can. :D It works perfectly now - Excellent!

[bobster65]

Thanks! but how would I go about fixing this problem?

Kind Regards,

I'd love to give you a good answer, but I am far from a CSS Guru... someone that knows CSS better than me should be able to help you out pretty easy... maybe forcing the element with !important might do it?

and we need this process more faster

hi bob sorry for this one but would you be so kind to reply on this ONE (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1879779&postcount=1607) please...

thanks and best regards.....

That also requires tweaking the CSS. It will be different depending on what you intend to do. The selected tab will stretch the height area of all the other tabs, so you'd either have to change the size of the selected tab, or adjust the positioning/padding/margins on the main tabs.

[suman.khan]

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).

i fix it just replace tabforumhome.php? to index.php?

[Delita]

Thank you, thank you THANK YOU for this fix! I was disappointed that I might not be able to use both mods, but now I see I can. :D It works perfectly now - Excellent!

[garyion]

We are working on the design of forum.
We want a breadcrumb (in tab format) of just the main forum and sub forums only and not the thread title, reply etc.
We would like the breadcrumb to stop at the last forum.
Can this mod achieve this?

I wouldn't be able to do it for you, reason being is that this is a custom style thing. I wouldn't know what you liked and how you liked it. That, and it's a trial and error type thing, which means it's time consuming. You have to tweak the CSS, then look to see if that's what you want. Tweak it again, then check again to see if that's what you want. And so and so forth.

If you don't know anything about CSS, then I recommend you visit http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp and play with the editors they make available. It's worth the time to learn it, as you'll likely run into similar issues with CSS again.

[cbiweb]

Not sure if this has been addressed somewhere in the 109 pages of posts :eek: but I noticed that when I switch tabs, and the "requesting content" message appears, there is no "loading" image (I get a red x in IE). To make the "requesting content" image appear go to your ajaxtabs.js file and find the following section of code, and remove the forward slash ( / ), shown here in bold red:

var ddajaxtabssettings={}
ddajaxtabssettings.bustcachevar=1 //bust potential caching of external pages after initial request? (1=yes, 0=no)
ddajaxtabssettings.loadstatustext="<img src='/clientscript/tabs/loading.gif' /> Requesting content..."



Do that, and the loading image will appear when switching tabs. :)

[Torpedo Vegas]

I get the tabs to show up fine, and when clicking on them they do the whole "Receiving data" bit, but all I get is "Illegal variable _files or _env or _get or _post or _cookie or _server or _session or globals passed to script." instead of the forum showing up. My suspicion is JFusion Joomla/vBulletin bridge is once again shitting my head, so I'm tossing this out there in case someone knows for sure what that message could be.

P.S. I seriously hate JFusion.

Edit: Tried the 2.0B3.5 and definitely got a jfusion error, so I imagine that's the problem with 1.5 too. The non ajax one would probably work but the install looks like a pain to say the least.

[Sador]

Okay, usually I'd read the topic to see if the question has been asked already, but with 109 pages, there are certain limits, and just testing it out seems kinda risky.

I'm wondering, is it possible to add any forumrelated page to the tab menu, or does it only work for subforums? Because I have some addons on my forum (working on AJAX as well) which might be interesting to show in this way. It would mean there is a 'forum index' tab, a tab where mod 1 is located (the chat, for example), a tab where mod 2 is located and so on.

Is that possible, might there be issues if I would try that or will it work just fine with whatever I try?

[Simon Lloyd]

No risk in trying it out, use another style to give it a go :)

[peleh]

Would be nice to see the "(xx) Viewing" on each forum for the Ajax tabbed 1.5. For me this information is important. Is the new 2.0 version managed to get RC yet? I saw a few hundred pages back that it was on development, but that was 2008...

Edit: Well, i just realized that the TFH without Ajax delivered better, faster experience to the user, and doesnt have the bug reported above.

Your going to need to do a little research to get the colors to change to what you want. It isn't simply one edit and then your done. You have to change all the values to suit your needs.

[Gleedo]

Hello,

I think I may have missed something when installing the ajax version of this cool mod.

I followed the instructions and have uploaded the files and edited the templates, but upon refreshing my forum, I cant see any tabs at all, but the categories I assigned to show as tabs have gone from my homepage (and also the unassigned categories too).

I have installed this on a test installation, so im not panicking lol.

Do I need to do something with the file tfh-wol-plugins.xml? Couldnt see anything in the instructions about that file.

Also have not edited any stylesheet yet as I was expecting the default ones to show as im using the default vb skin.

Any thoughts appreciated :)

...would like to have a default tab selected when the page loads. I see instructions for v1.01, is there way to do the same thing in 1.5.0?

ya, use the "selected" calls on the specific li tag

...doesn't seem to be working... I've made sure that only the tab I want selected has the call. Here's the code from my template:

<div id="ajaxTFH" class="TFHmenu2">
<ul>
<li><a href="/tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=12" rel="ajaxTFHcontentarea">THE LOBBY</a></li>
<li class="selected"><a href="/tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=60" rel="ajaxTFHcontentarea">TECH SUPPORT</a></li>
<li><a href="/tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=117&tabcat[]=33&tabcat[]=93&tabcat[]=56" rel="ajaxTFHcontentarea">TECH TALK</a></li>
<li><a href="/tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=4&tabcat[]=146" rel="ajaxTFHcontentarea">GENERAL DISCUSSION</a></li>
<li><a href="/tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=7&tabcat[]=8&tabcat[]=10" rel="ajaxTFHcontentarea">STAFF</a></li>
</ul>
</div>I want the Tech Support tab to be default on page load, but it's not, it just stays on whatever tab was last used. :(

That looks correct .. did you try and flip flop the 2 li lines (lobby and Tech support) so that the selected is the first tab (just to make sure that is working)

Just tried flip flopping the tabs, and they changed places as expected, but the "selected" didn't do its thing.

That's weird... I'll have to dig into it and see if I can replicate the problem and then recommend a solution..




Did you find anything on this? It still does not work for me.

[bobster65]

Did you find anything on this? It still does not work for me.

to be honest, no, I have not.. I've been concentrating on v2 and prepping a version for vB4

[writerkimba]

I've just installed this and think it's a great idea! However, when I worked out my tabs, I have these white spaces between each category. How do I get rid of them? Thanks in advance.

[ChopSuey]

Thats probably from the modification, seperate forum categories. Might want to disable it if you have tabs ;)

[writerkimba]

Err ... disable what exactly? :confused:

If someone can point me in the right direction of getting rid of the whitespace, it'll be greatly appreciated!

[writerkimba]

Nevermind. I've worked it out! :)

I have one question though. Is it at all possible to set it so that different tabs can only be seen by certain usergroups?

[cbiweb]

The second post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1487135&postcount=2) in this thread explains how to do that. :)

[purrtypaws]

Hi there, I havent read the whole thread so I'm not sure if this problem has been covered... my problem...

not sure what Ive done wrong, any help would be most appreciated :D

error2 is the forum home, error3 is when i press 'rural' link.

[cbiweb]

Remove the forward slashes in the FORUMHOME template that I've highlighted in red below:

<!-- 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 -->
That should do the trick. :)


Also, you will need to go to clientscript > tabs > ajaxtab.js , and remove the forward slash in this section of code:
var ddajaxtabssettings={}
ddajaxtabssettings.bustcachevar=1 //bust potential caching of external pages after initial request? (1=yes, 0=no)
ddajaxtabssettings.loadstatustext="<img src='/clientscript/tabs/loading.gif' /> Requesting content..."
This will make the animated loading image appear when you click a tab.

[purrtypaws]

thank you cbi, you're a star!

is it possible to show the forums too or just the catagories?

[cbiweb]

You're welcome. :)

I'm not sure I understand your next question clearly. When everything is set up correctly, you should see categories and forums. Unless you mean being able to see the list of threads as on showthread.php? In that case, no.

Can you post a screenshot of what you now see when you click a tab? A visual would help to see what's going on. :)

[purrtypaws]

Thanks so much for all your help cbi, I had catagories in catagories or something heh its sorted now though :)

I do have one more question if thats ok, when I click on my username, I get unknow location error, is there anyway to fix that?

It could be, but I doubt it.. its probably the capability of the JS itself used within vB.... v2 has a better way of doing this and will be released to the public soon.

So i reinstalled it. But yeah..

I read that you'll be releasing a fix for the "x users viewing" issue.

The AJAX version of this is absolutely awesome. Had a problem with my forum for multiple games on multiple platforms being WAY too long to scroll down. This solved every bit of my problems with a little modification to the CSS. Looking to put tabs inside of tabs but I'll do that mod myself.

hi bobster,

some of my users, being in their comfort zones are requesting for me to bring back the old style of forumhome. they loved the whole list of forums like before,

is there any way i can add a tab that loads all the forums like the default forum home?

Thanks!

[elenh]

Can some one provide how to add the total category x_viewing phrase to the tabs?

e.g.:

Forum category (tab): Fun & Jocks (9 persons viewing)

(other forums in this category 3)
Fun 1 (3 persons viewing)
Fun 2 (3 persons viewing)
Fun 3 (3 persons viewing)

hi bobster,

i read in a post that you're working on the "Selected" tab issue?
I am also having problems with the Selected li not selecting the default tab, instead, the first tab is always the default, no matter where i put "Selected" .

I have a tab for all my forums so it will load all forums for users who wants all forums loaded. I want it to be at the first tab but not the default

Do let me know if you already have the solution for this

thanks!
Tom

I'm confused. How do you assign which categories for the first tab? I can get the 2nd tabs to display the correct forums, but the first...doesn't seem to work.

There was no instructions for the first tab. And I'm not using the ajax one...just the regular javascript.

Any updates on Version 2 for Vb4 yet? Just curious...

[PHILIPS-08]

Thanx you so musch well done work...

[Edgespeeder06]

As dumb as this sounds, where do I upload the 4 files? To my hosting or to my actual Cpanel?

Sorry, yes I know, not the first time working this but wanted to make sure.

Also I have vBulletin 3.8.4 , will it work with that?

Maybe you could use Cyb's subforum manager to help out with this. Cyb's mod works with this with only one minor tweak. Its worth a shot.

The core is done and works fine with one exception, the collapse part.. still tweaking that. Also need to do some minor modifications to the "modules" admin as it included tweaks for other mods such as Cyb's Subform Manager (which he hasn't released yet), Blogs (need to rewrite that module) and Project Tools (which there is no vb4 version yet)..

you need to apply the fix for it, its a simple easy fix. The fix has been posted many times in this thread. Just do a search for it.

You have to make edits to two of the plugins for Cbys Sub Forum Mod..

Plugins (Search In): Cyb - Sub-Forum Manager - CT and Cyb - Sub-Forum Manager 1
Find:
(THIS_SCRIPT=='index' OR THIS_SCRIPT=='forumdisplay'))
Replace With:
(THIS_SCRIPT=='index' OR THIS_SCRIPT=='forumdisplay' OR THIS_SCRIPT=='tabforumhome'))

should be able to modify the CSS to do that. I've never done any RTL stuff tho, so you'd have to ask someone that has done it.

Any new information on v4? this is the only thing stopping me from upgrading to v4.

[PinoyRepublic]

same here. unfortunately we've already upgraded our forum to vb4 lol. its a mess :))

[bobster65]

Ya, I've got a working version (minus the collapse functionality).. just have had absolutely zero free time to put a release together. Its a new version, so you'd have to install it to 4.0 from scratch.

Has anyone been able to deal with the changes in 3.8.5 that have broken some things?

They said to find this:
<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]do=markread rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[mark_forums_read]</a>

and replace it with this:
<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]do=markread&amp;markreadhash=$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[mark_forums_read]</a>

and this bit of code?
$forumhome_markread_script

for starters....

And none of that is in the forumhome template and I do not know where to put it.

I hope someone else has encountered this and I am not the only lone ranger who has not upgraded to 4.0
update:
found the code in forumhome tabbed. still working through it.

Is it working properly for you now? I might have to take a look into 3.8.5 and see if there are any more updates that need to be made.

[Doom Stone]

Hey Bobster,

Just a quick question, will this modification continue to be supported for the time being and do you know when it's likely that there will be an update to the current versions of the TFH for 3.8.x?

Thanks.

Edit: Just saw your reply on the other thread, can't wait. ;)

Hello,

I've just installed this mod and it's working perfectly but there's a small problem.

I am currently using Cyb - Sub Forum Manager, but it doesn't seems to be working with this modifications I made.

Any idea how to make it work with this mod??

Hi,

I think this mod might be just what I am looking for.

I have a question though, say I split my forum into 4 tabs, when I hit new posts, are all 4 tabs included in the results or only the tab you are viewing?

Ideally, I would like it to only show the new posts from the tab you are viewing, not sure if this is possible.

Thanks for any advice and assistance.

:)

Question:

How do you figure out the category IDs if you have vBSEO installed? All of my category IDs are covered up by vBSEO rewrites.

Ideas?

[glennybee]

Hi shanejeffery86,

There are several ways to find that out.

Depending on your rewrite rules, your urls may be configured like this; www.myforum.com/f12/.

'f12' is the forum id. Also, if you go to the forum manager page in admincp, when you hover the cursor over the specific forum, it will tell you the forum id in the status bar at the bottom of your browser, i.e.

http://www.myforum.com/forums/admincp/forum.php?do=edit&f=12

[sburns1992]

i have a problem with that ...

tabs are just displayed as links and it directs to totally unformated pages :S:S:S


http://www.archcairo.com/forum/index.php?styleid=63

[EtaiWix]

You CAN use images instead of words/css style created boxes for the tabs when using 1.5.0

You can't place text above an image... but if you could, that would be really cool an useful.

Is there any way to use an image for selected, and another image for when the tab is not selected? I'm assuming it would need to be JS code, does anyone know how I would do that?

EDIT: Great mod by the way, I love it!!

[glowinggal]

is there a way to have the tabs display on all forum pages? My users love this new mod we added to our vbulletin but that was their one request (:

[EtaiWix]

Question to coder/developer:

Is there a way to have these tabs function as actual HTML links in actual pages, rather than be just javascript? This is important for SEO...

you can find them through admincp
Go to the Forums section and hover on the forum names and you'll see the link that says forumid

Hi peeps,

I have had this mod installed on my forum home for about 2 years and now i come to add a new tab for access to restricted , paid subscription area of my site, i have teh tab, it only displays for premium account members but i can't get any content to load under the tab.. just the category header but it isn't pulling the private forums up just white empty space!

If someone can point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it...

I'm a little confused regarding the $forumbits additions in index_tabs.php

$forumbits = construct_forum_bit($forumid);
// Construct Tabbed Forum Home forumbits
// Category for Tab 2, pulls forum and sub form data from Category (Forum ID 1)
$forumbits2 = construct_forum_bit(9,1,0);
$forumbits2a = construct_forum_bit(51,1,0);
$forumbits3 = construct_forum_bit(15,1,0);
$forumbits3a = construct_forum_bit(16,1,0);
$forumbits3b = construct_forum_bit(17,1,0);
$forumbits3c = construct_forum_bit(19,1,0);
$forumbits4 = construct_forum_bit(1,1,0);
$forumbits5 = construct_forum_bit(51,1,0);
$forumbits13 = construct_forum_bit(186,1,0);

If i put the $forumbits13 code after my new tab i get nothing....?

I know i am doing something really daft but after searching through the code for the past few hours my brain is ceasing..lol

any ideas...?

many thanks...

On my homepage the selected tab raising effect has broken. How can I turn off the raising and lowering effect of the tabs or better yet fix that?

UPDATE: I found the place in the css to fix this bug.

[yotsume]

Yes, v2 (which is in Beta 4 right now) has what is called "modules" that can be plugged in via the ACP.... currently we have recent threads, Blogs, News, Albums, Project Tools and a few others.... social groups is one that I've just started on and might be ready when v2 is finally released).. btw, those are just ones that we plan on releasing with it.. the modules system will allow you to create your own and members here will be able to write module addons for this new system...

Sorry but I have to ask... do you have a time frame for version 2 release?

[angeljs]

I've followed the instructions to the letter, but it won't install correctly,even on the default template. I've attached a screenshot so you can see the problem.

[glennybee]

Hi folks,

Great mod...I was wondering though...now that the search engines can't see the tabbed content, is there a way that I could only show the tabs to members leaving guests viewing the original forumhome?

Many thanks! :)

[huuquynh]

I don't know why after install and add tab. There are no tabs display in forum home. I can not find where to setting more...???
