UKBL- Easy Menu Tabs

I've been playing around with creating some Menu Tabs for the top of the forums, These ones do not mess up your CSS or use Javascript and you can have it set up and running on your forums in minutes.

I've done this in a neutral color, so it'll be fine for light colored forums, I will add some darker ones and a black one later if requested

So what do you do???

Installation is sooooo simple your gonna love this, First you need to open the html file with notepad or similar, and make a few edits, Mainly the location of the 2 gif's and the links to the urls or onsite links.

so in Note pad look for this..

background:url("tableft1.gif") no-repeat left top;

and change the word tableft1.gif to the directory you have your images in, if you use photobucket or a similar storage site then your code would look something like this

background:url("http://i4875.photobucket.com/albums/rr1/ukbusinesslive/tableft1.gif") no-repeat left top;

Then you look for the other one here

background:url("tabright1.gif") no-repeat right top;

and basically do the same as the first edit.

So thats it with the gif edits, you still need to scroll further down to the menu edits

here

<ul>

<li id="current"><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/topsite/">Forums Topsite</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/group.php?">Social Groups</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/online.php?">Who's Online</a></li>

<li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/memberlist.php">Member List</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/">UK Business Live</a></li>

basically you can have as many tabs as you need and you change the navigation from the top code, its pretty easy to do, First you add the Url of the site or link that you want tabbed, Then paste it to the first part of the tab, Then after you write the name of the tab, Easy

if you want extra tabs just add another line like this

<li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/memberlist.php">Member List</a></li>

Cut and Paste the HTML Code to the header template of your style, and upload the gifs to your chosen directory, be it /images/misc or even photobucket.

For Dark Colored Sites

If your Site is Black or has a Black Background you'll want black tabs like this

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/01/67.png

Then you'll have to Download the Black_ Tabs.zip This include a new code that you need to edit as well as the 2 Black Gifs to get the correct colour. Instructions are the same as above ;)

Please Click install if you like it :D

If you want to see a nice collection of downloadable Menu Tabs, Veiw My Post in the Graphics forum, and download what you need ;)

vBAdvanced Integration

Ther seem to be a slight problem with users that use vBAdvanced Integration

A problem I'm having when I put this in the header template is that I click on a thread and it comes up with the menu tabs down where the thread should be instead of the thread.

Could it be a problem with having vBAdvanced integration?

The cure is quite simple, all you need to do when you've edited your code is to cut it in half and put the CSS element into the additional CSS box in your Style manger's "additional CSS" box, Then the last bit, the part which contains the menu links (See below)

</style>
</head>

<body>

<div id="tabsH">
<ul>

<li id="current"><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/topsite/">Forums Topsite</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/group.php?">Social Groups</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/online.php?">Who's Online</a></li>

<li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/memberlist.php">Member List</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/">UK Business Live</a></li>

</ul>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Thats the part which just goes at the VERY end of your header.

Enjoy VBa Members :D

To Open in new Browser Window

To get the link to open in a new browser window, what you do is add the target="_blank" attribute to your link tag, like this in your Menu Links area

<li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/" target="_blank">UK Business Live</a></li>

If you do that to the ones that you want to open in a new window, then you don't navigate away from your site ;)

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/01/30.png

:D
Changing individual Tab Font Colors

You can add some html markup between the where the tab name is

Just change the first Value to



So your Menu Line would look something like this

<li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/topsite/">Forums Topsite</a></li>

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/01/38.png

Hope that helps, just change the color Green, for a color of your choice

You could use a tab with a different color text to point to your Paypal Account and call it donations :confused: Worth a try ;)

Tab Color Changes on Hover

I have a request though

if you can make the current page's tab be in another color just like when hover it, it will be great.
just like vbulletin.org here.
you can see it yourself

You need to add a span attribute to the CSS

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/01/37.png

Dependant on what tab design you are using, find the following in the code

#tabs1 a:hover {
background-position:0% -42px;
}

and change it to this

#tabs1 a:hover span {
color:#000000;
background-position:0% -42px;
}

Where #000000 (hex Code for Black) is the new color that you want, so now you should have the tabs show up as normal and when you hover the cursor over them with the above hex code the text will be BLACK

Just change this color hex to whatever hex color you want

Enjoy

:D

This looks like something VERY cool, but why aren't they on your forums...?
Is there any bugs.?

And which html file do we open in notepad.? (an existing one from our boards, or one in this zip folder)

Thanks

I don't use them on my forum as i already have a double navbar :D I tested them out on my forum as you can see below

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/01/79.png

But it looks a bit overkill with the double navbar

The one which you edit is the tab_menu_1.zip That has the HTML code to edit, That zip alone will just use the light colored tabs, If you have a black or darker forum then you need to also download the Black_Tabs.zip. This has the Black Gif's which you need to use in place of the ones in the first zip.

Thats it really

Save and upload the html to the header of your style, and upload the gifs to your chosen directory, be it /images/misc or even photobucket.

Ok im ready to upload, but im not sure where to upload it..? (where in "header")
Is this a file on my server or in the styles manager.?

Also my site has a skin/mod on it, that might make this not work.. any thoughts before i even try it.? :D (besides back it up. lol)

*edit*
I think this wont work for me unless i can add the code to my current code rather than overwrite it.
(i have a menu up top that needs to stay)

The HTML code, once edited with your details and the url of the gif's, you need to cut and paste it to the end of your Header Template right at the very bottom, You won't be over writing anything.

AdminCP>Styles & Templates>Style Manager>YOUR STYLE>Header template

Thats it really, Just make sure its the header template of the style your using, should work a treat.

let me know how you got on ;)

Just put them on my forum so you can see http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/index.php

So the black tabs are named different so they need a new html..!?
Cant i just re name them, & upload over the original ones.?

UKBusinessLive

01-05-2009, 12:13 AM

Great news, Looking at your site just now, made me do some Black and Gray buttons for you, should look better, You'll need to edite the code again, Just cut and paste from your original and replace the code that you have in your header at the moment, Don't forget the url of the gif's

;)

I dont mean to be a pain, but what is different in the code besides the img urls..?
If i change the name of the images it should work.. or no.?

My problem is if i re edit the code it will end up being identical to the code that is currently there..!?

Sorry, im confused.

My fault, You shouldn't use the same code for the black tabs as the white ones, as the fonts and colors are different, I've updated the new html code for the black tab buttons.

Made you a set that should go ok with your site, You do need to use the Code that came with it for it to work correctly, and upload your color gifs to whatever directory you have them loaded. (Basically its doing it again from scratch, but you can cut and paste your menu code at the end, saves you editing too much)

Hope this helps ;)

Another nice hack from UKB :) Wonder if it turns to be selected. I mean, if u click "360" tab for example and when it goes to that link, the "360" tab needs to be different color that mean selected.

Do u get it what I mean UKB? :) Tagged.

Thanks, :D

If you hover over the "360" tab the color changes the same as the "Home" tab, By default the home tab stays the same "Darker" Color but you can remove this by deleting this from the first line of links in the code (Marked in red for ease!)

Hi, very easy and very functional. I like it thank you. I want to change the color of the tabs from the powder blue though. Just the outline of the tabs. Do I need to find new tabs or can it be done in the script?

Thanks for the good work *INSTALLED*
Cheers Buddy

Just change the color of the .gifs and in the script you change the hex # of the color, you can change the color of the text and type of text too see below for a snipet of code to edit for the above

{
font: bold 14px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #000;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 15px;
}

img {
border: none;
}

#tabs1 {
float:left;
width:100%;
background:#F4F7FB;
font-size:93%;
line-height:normal;
border-bottom:1px solid #BCD2E6;

or you can tell me the colors you want and i'll make it for you ;)

Take care :D

Hi Soundbarrierpro :D

Been trying to edit the gifs with that color hex but its not quite working, may need to tweak a bit beore finally mastering the art, However

I've build a new set of tabs based on the dark blue of your hex.

Thanks,

I think you mean how do you center the tabs ??

You need to change the value in Red, By trial and error, until you see the buttons in the Center. It will vary from forum to forum as people may have different button sizes and the amount of tabs may vary, so you need to edit this part of the code (in red) to centralise your tabs

#tabs1 {
float:centre;
width:100%;
background:#F4F7FB;
font-size:93%;
line-height:normal;
border-bottom:1px solid #BCD2E6;
}
#tabs1 ul {
margin:0;
padding:10px 10px 0 300px;
list-style:none;
}
#tabs1 li {
display:inline;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#tabs1 a {
float:left;
background:url("http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/ukbusinesslive/tableft1.gif") no-repeat left top;
margin:0;
padding:0 0 0 4px;
text-decoration:none;
}
#tabs1 a span {
float:left;
display:block;
background:url("http://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr114/ukbusinesslive/tabright1.gif") no-repeat right top;
padding:5px 15px 4px 6px;
color:#627EB7;

Hola Coleccromos

Just add another line of code under your button menu's like this

<li><a href="http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/memberlist.php">Member List</a></li>

Just paste it underneath the others, you can have 1 or 100's

Enjoy :D

Won't this change though based on each computer user's screen size and resolution though?

For instance, my resolutions is 1152x864. If I make the adjustments, won't it look wierd on yours if you are set to 800x600?

UKBusinessLive

01-05-2009, 07:13 PM

Yes thats why i don't save the code centralised by default, but if people want to put their tabs in the center, then at least they'll know what value to change in the code, Like you said different resolutions will make a difference, what it boils down is personal preference, i guess.

***************Update**************

Just to let everyone know i will be adding a variety of different styles of tabs this week and i'll be uploading them shortly, This will allow members to select tabs which compliment their forums in all different colors rather than the default Neutral and Black one.

There should be about 30 different styles, so it shouldn't be hard to choose one for your forums.

If anyone needs more info or help to get started, please don't hesitate to post and i'll help where i can.

If you've uploaded your tabs to your site and are happy with them and want to show off :rolleyes: PM me with a link to your site and i'll add it to the Live Demo List to show other members what can be acheived.

Thanks Guys :)

if you can make the current page's tab be in another color just like when hover it, it will be great.
just like vbulletin.org here.

the tabs change when you move through them according to the current one.

it might be a condition or something to set different color to the current page's tab.

You need to add a span attribute to the CSS

Dependant on what tab design you are using, find the following in the code

#tabs1 a:hover {
background-position:0% -42px;
}

and change it to this

#tabs1 a:hover span {
color:#000000;
background-position:0% -42px;
}

Where #000000 (hex Code for Black) is the new color that you want, so now you should have the tabs show up as normal and when you hover the cursor over them with the above hex code the text will be BLACK

Just change this color hex to whatever hex color you want

I have a question and a comment -

Comment first - thank you!! This is easy and works great!

Question - I did not want this in the header, so I put it in forumhome just above the main forums (placed below the ). This worked great, until I viewed it in safari - when I look at it in firefox - no problem, IE - no problems, Safari - throws the rest of the main table to the right - do you know how I would fix that?

Firefox and IE should work ok, safari i'm not sure about as i don't use it, do you mean it throws it to the right like the VB.org ones on here??

Can you post a screen shot so i can see what you mean :confused:

Hi Brvheart,

Yeah i see what you mean :eek: Not sure what to recommend there as i don't use safari, because of the security issues, so i can't really say what to do, You say its fine in IE and Firefox ;) Then i wouldn't worry too much with the safari issue. Perhaps a coder that uses safari could come up with a solution, but unfortunately for me, i wouldn't like to guess what to do next.

The Tabs are look great where you placed them :D

Are you done Gabby??? :confused:

let me know and i'll help where i can, but basically....

In Note pad look for this in the HTML code..

background:url("tableft1.gif") no-repeat left top;

and change the word tableft1.gif to the directory you have your images in, if you use photobucket or a similar storage site then your code would look something like this

background:url("http://i4875.photobucket.com/albums/rr1/ukbusinesslive/tableft1.gif") no-repeat left top;

Then you look for the other one here

background:url("tabright1.gif") no-repeat right top;

and basically do the same as the first edit. For both of them you need to add the url to your images between the brackets ;)

Trial and error as I learn html , servers, host and all the rest of the stuff. I'm pretty burned out with fixing my forum over the past month so please forgive me stupidity. :o

Will this work on any style?

Thanks so much for your patience.

Sorry:)

en teori it shoundt matter where you place the tabs,
but for them to be on all pages, header = on top of all.

But how you get this working beats me :D
Added the CSS in additional css styles,

and added the code at the end of the header

tadaa it just lists as <li> normally would do :p haha

anyway great mod for those that got it working.

saw a forum who had the tabs right above the forums them selfs instead of in the header. lovely.

Gabby the HTML file is in the Zip file for download in the first page of this thread.

You need to open this so you can edit it, You can open it in Notepad, or Word

Then the next thing to do is add the urls of where you placed your graphic files

finally, you need to edit the Menu links at the bottom of this file

When you've done all this you need to highlight all the code and then copy (Right mouse click on hightlight)

Next you need to add the code to the header template of your chosen style, Do this in the admin CP, Go to the end of the header template and Click Paste

Thats it really,

If you still have problems, PM me your links, and the url's of youir ghapic files and i'll do it for you :D

It seems that the problem also exists in Chrome, as well as Safari. I have the same issue as brvheart, only mine throws the login box and directory tree to the right.

Thanks for letting me know, I'm going to see what i can do to test it in chrome and safari, It would have to happen on the two browsers i never use :eek:

I'll keep you updated on this ;)

Have you had it running ok on IE and firefox ??

No worries Buddy, Glad to help :D

You can change the colors, Fonts and background by changing the Hex Numbers in the top CSS part of the code and change the Url's of the sample site to your own website at the bottom HTML part

Have Fun ;)

But I wish I could give it the same way as Easy Menu Tabs created by you and all colors and align the images in the center of the screen to the left and do not do it :erm:

With the script in the dropdown menu's they need to be as they are for it to work with all browsers, the minute you play with the code you lose the validation.

The Easy Menu Tabs although compatible with IE and FF, shows a few errors in opera and safari, Each one has its good points and bad points ;)

Do you mean if the dropdown menu tabs could just be fixed tabs as opposed to dropdowns???

If so there is a way of doing this ;)

as far as i'm aware it only plays up with Opera and safari, Not sure why as i don't use either because of the security issues with them.

however saying that, with the dropdown menu's you can create simple tads that are compatible with all browsers, thats why i didn't bother trying to fix it for opera and safari.

Sorry mate i cant find this my skills in CCS sucks if you have time fancy showing me the bit i need to change

Cheers

The only way you can make the tabs central is by extending them the full width of your forums

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/01/29.png

you need to find this in the CSS

/*"""""""" (MAIN) Items""""""""*/
#qm0 a
{
padding:3px 60px 3px 3px;
margin:0px 60px 0px 0px;
background-color:transparent;
color:#aaaaaa;
font-family:Arial;
font-size:11px;
text-decoration:none;
border-width:0px 1px 0px 0px;
border-style:solid;
border-color:#aaaaaa;

and change the padding and margin (in Red) to a higher value.

The only problem you have then is that it will be set to your resolution, people with other screen resolutions will just see a mess, or the menu bars on two rows.

i did state before the reson its coded like it is, is that it will work in all resolutions and in All Browsers, Changing the above will create problems when viewing, thats why i don't recommend it.

Sorry its not working right for you brvheart, but i did do this so its workable over all platforms ;)

Thanks ;)
