I installed this and getting:

/admincp/etab.php

Not Found
The requested document was not found on this server.

EDIT:
The attachment has the folder "adminCP" <-- should be admincp .. the caps creates a whole new map.

EDIT 2:
Saving a tab name gives me:
Could not find phrase 'SUCCES!'.

EDIT 3:
As your screenshot, when adding multiple links to the navbar. The first link uses up some space over the other links you'll add.. Possible this can align all perfectly?

EDIT 4:
Possible more tabs can be created with this plugin? :)

oh you want to control if the links open in same window, parent or new ?
gonna add it to the todo's good idea, relative simple to implement.

01-06-2010, 12:34 AM

Something I've seen on some other mods that do similar things would be allowing you to specify a user group that the links show to, per link.

Anyway, nice stuff. =)

Ok guys,, Mod is updated,

I installed, but the options link did not show in the admin navigation menu at all. Any idea?

Did you upload the includes/xml folder ? it contains a file called Cpnav_etab.xml
which is the one that adds the tabs to your adminCP.

Vaupell, your updates to this thread are amazing. Good work.

Thank you.. appriciated.

01-07-2010, 07:01 PM

This is excellent!!!!

I have a request if you dont mind.

Can you allow for the adding of a small 20x20 image to the left of the submenus? :)

Yes, I did that... anyways, I will try the updated version and report.

This mod is amazing and I was wondering why there was none like this so far. Hope it works for me ;)

EDIT: Tried with new version 0.93

Same problem continues. Have followed the instructions to the last letter and dot.

Etab shows on frontend. Shows as installed on the products page, but no link to options. Tried to go directly to www.mydomain.com/admincp/etab.php and got a 404 error. Absolutely no other problems in the site.

I have other mods installed too and not sure if it is an interaction between them... Please see the admincp screenshot attached.

you should never get a 404.php that means the file is not existing at location,
when entering a url from the admincp direct in your browser you "usually"
gets presented with a login box, if allready logged in, then the page..

check if :
If you have named your admincp something else and defined it in config.php
please make sure when uploading the file for admincp you put it in the right
admincp folder..

else try reuploadingg it
more info on 404 here (http://www.404errorpages.com/)

but no link to options.

heard of this before, in other mods, will look into it.
im thinking its sharing navigation order id with another mod,
howewer that "should" just place them below
each other. but gonna check on that xml file for you..

UPDATE try this file,
i have test this on 4 boards, 2 of them which werent my own..
109468 <- will only work for .93 - .96
place that in your includes/xml/ directory..
it should make the links show in adminCP regardless if there is a file
or not in admincp folder.

Tks for this very nice hack !

I've got just a question :

Can you change this mouse over color effet ? because has you see it, it's black and not the same than vBulletin originaly. Can you understand ?

Just installed it.

I'd like to ask for a small favor as well, if you don't mind. Could you perhaps add the usergroup permissions to the links as well (instead of only tabs)

Because that way you can make 1 tab about a certain subject, with both links to guests, users and admins alike.

Hope you'll consider it. :)

Any chance you want to add a feature where the drop-down list can have two columns. So in case someone has like 10 links to add, they can have two columns of 5 instead of one column of ten which will be too long.

If its not too much trouble. :)

superb hack, just nominated ;) but need to be changed the 'mouse over' like the other (default) tabs ... ;)

REQ: can you move the options of the tab in the 'settings' group? (i mean in the ACP)

thanks

01-11-2010, 11:15 AM

Been real busy the last couple of days, so low on extra time.
But got time to fix a few things so.

And thanks for the kinds words.

REQ: can you move the options of the tab in the 'settings' group? (i mean in the ACP)

thanks

yes, added to suggestions/plans.

proberly gonna rewrite the whole thing, before a "non" beta release
there is alot fo cleanup needed, and there are quite a few easyer ways
to execute some of the query's ive made.

Just my fault i didnt get that one in the planned, cause i was planning to add it
to settings group.. ;)

fayax

01-11-2010, 04:53 PM

For the new update the .97 do we need to to replace the product and the files? OR just the product import?

ADDED: Found the answer ...Have to upload the xml and the files both to get a full upgrade and it worked like a charm. still testing the new features.

Thanks Vaupell.

In your description you have said "* 3 Costum tabs" you might want to change that to "* 4 Costum tabs"

Works fine with ie7 which is the oldest version supported by Microsoft themself.
Support for olderversions might only by supplyed by MS-partners.
works with ie8, firefox, chrome, opera, safari

howewer as for ie6, No go, IE6 and earlyer versions are obsolete
and will not be supported by me. and proberly many others aswell..
the thing with companys forcing ie6 is bs,, i work for Siemens, and are
using a "global" network, with forced browsers, howewer i can still use
alternate browsers, FF etc..

So sorry older browser versions is just weird, they dont support modern css, html, etc.
and other implements which is used on most websites around the web

-- PS / EDIT

its not my mod, im not using anything vbulletin 4 is not, so if you cant use it
then you will have features from vbulletin unavailible to you!!!

maybe read up over at vbulletin.com about older browsers and vb4
im only using resources supplyed by vb4.

Another Great Mod Vaupell!

I've read through the posts and I know a couple users have already mentioned this, but I thought I would post some screenshots. It seems on the lighter 'styles', the backgrounds and links look great, but on the darker styles, it seems the background is dark and the text remains dark.
If it could use the same vars(?) as the submenu (see pics). This would be great and consistent. Seems like you had this in the works though

Just installed, works good. A couple issues though. =)

Remove the FONT tags and that'll get rid of the dropdown link colors getting overridden and it'll use the defaults.

Quick nitpick "Success" is misspelled when saving data.

Also, one bug I had happen, but haven't reproduced is that when I saved a URL with an ampersand & in it, at some point, those ampersands were converted to the & when they shouldn't.

Thinking about it, I think it might of happened when I did the reorder and save or when I created them to begin with. I was able to edit them and save them without a problem though.

Thank you for your work!

Found a problem with IE7 and this display.

The tabs appear in the middle of the tabnav. They also don't have the dropdown arrow denoting that the tab is a dropdown. When you click them though, the dropdown appears where it should, as if the tab were in the correct place, but the tab is still in the middle of the tabnav.

Yes it DOES NOT WORK WITH OLD BROWSERS! and never will!
plenty of alternatives that does.
will put a message in the main content post later!!

If the tabs still appear the mod is still active, but when uninstalling the plugins
should be removed, if the tabs appear, check

- plugins from the mod are gone (removed)
- CMS cache or anyother cache is cleared

Yes, old bug, but it was solved with .97 the origin of the bug was a earlyer version
where the plugins wasent formatted in the correct case sensitive SQL query's.

And only way to solve it, is open the plugins and change the SELECT strings to match your tables..

Happens ie when moveing from a windows server to a apache server..

Yes i know whats wrong, and its older ie browsers thats ++++ing it up!
and nothing to do about it. Im working on a complete rebuild of this mod that is nothing
like it is now, but with unlimited tab count and such, admin panel same style as now.
But for now, this is as is. Im using it on my own site, and basicly i put a banner
saying if your using old browsers, go away. my content is only for users with ability
to upgrade their browsers anyway..

but the new build is working in ie6 and 7, but is wery buggy so wont ewen beta
release it right now. :) but i will ofcurse replace the new mod with this, when its ready.

Thanks for your reply, but that screenshot I linked to is IE8 running in Vista, not an older browser.

More importantly can you, or anyone, tell me how I can get the new navbar tabs to display to visitors not logged in?

On my test site I’ve added navbar links for ‘What’s On’ & ‘Eating Out’, but as you can see they are not showing up to visitors: http://test.doctorwatson.info/content.php

This is a problem I have in IE/Chrome & Firefox. :(

did you remember to set usergroup acces for each tab ?

think be default its : 2,5,6,7

but you need to add ,1 if you want guests to see them.. ;)

so it ends up as 2,5,6,7,1

Still weird that it's displaying differently in IE8 on XP and IE8 on Vista, I've never come across anything like that - another reason to hate IE!

Any suggestions as to how I can put a tab between the 'Home' and 'Forum' VB tabs?

I've tried allsorts but can't get them to drop in between those two.

What I want is:

HOME [Eating-Out] FORUM [What's On] WHAT'S NEW

Ur profile says
<------------ 3.7.4 pl1

so no.. this is vb4 only.
And it adds those big buttons to the navbar on all pages
where navbar is included. if ur talking about the vb3 style navbar small text only
then no.. this is tabs!

so no.. this is vb4 only.I have 2 forums, one being v4.02.
I forgot that the version is in the profile. I might as well remove it since v4 has been changing quite often.

Other mods also add to the navbar but not to the CMS. That is why I asked.

Well it was extremely clear in the beta which was not alternative browser friendly..
And the beta would not be working with a final release..

This is final, which means future updates on this mod, will ofcourse maintain
previous user settings, and installations..

This is a lifesaver. I had a menu system build in css but upgrading to VB4 saw it goes west!
I love this to bits. Is there any way in the future to combine both mods. Also to add images.
Thanks very much for spending so much time on this for all of our enjoyment.

Hi Vaupell. I think I have found a bug. It happens in IE7 and AOL9. Basically the drop down menu either stretches 100% across the forum home when you go to choose the drop down or/and my adsense advert that is just below the postbits is in front of the drop down. To explain that better. When the drop down menu appears the adsense advert is in front and the drop down menu is broken up because of this. The user cannot select anything from the menu as it then goes to close.
I'll dig out a screen shot or two and add them to this post for you once I have them from my members. :)

Here's the screen shot whilst in IE7. You'll notice that the dropdown menu expands 100% across the screen and although the last button visible here is Gallery, I have several more buttons that aren't visible in IE7.
In IE7's case I turned off adsense but it made no different.
Sorry about this.

Hi, first can i say what a great mod just what i needed, Way way better then the rest.

Now the problem just a little one. Any idea when there will be user group access control for the evi menu system as this is what i really really need.

Thanks

evi menu is the latest version of this hack, correct? (maybe is better to delete the older version or rename the file) :)

anyway good improvements ... just a request: it's possible to move the 'evi menu' from the home page into the settings page?

anyway to make the actual tabname a link too?

i.e if you called your Tab "FORUM" if the user clicked the word it would go forum.php. then if they clicked the arrow it would be dropdown menu

anyone??

for that to work, you should create a tab the "normal" way..
using one of the several guides listet in the "articles" section
under vb4..

A quick question about this mod. The tabs that I want to mess around with are in the 2nd row(settings, my profile, etc......) See attached pic.

Will this mod change those? Or what exactly will it change?

I get the following warning by using this mod:

Does anybody know what's to do?

Hi Vaupell yes you are right I think.
Firefox, Chrome and IE8 are all fine. The problem is IE7 and AOL.
Here's a screen shot of the AOL problem.

Hope this helps?

Oh nearly forgot... I'm using Vbulletin 4.0.3L1 I should have said.

Posted something similar in the VSA banner ad. Apparently it's been solved in 4.0.6, but not everybody (including yours truly) has the ability to upgrade to that yet:

Here's how to solve that:

http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-7380

Specifically:

ngiaopao added a comment - 06/Jul/10 01:23 PM
Applied fix specified by Andreas. And placed it in replacement-vbulletin-ie.css before the RTL specific fixes.

/* VBIV-7380 */
#navbar {
z-index: 2000;
}
/* end VBIV-7380 */

Here's the screen shot whilst in IE7. You'll notice that the dropdown menu expands 100% across the screen and although the last button visible here is Gallery, I have several more buttons that aren't visible in IE7.
In IE7's case I turned off adsense but it made no different.
Sorry about this.

I use a homegrown mod for a tab with a dropdown and experience the same issue. Only in IE <8. Did you ever manage to figure out a workaround for this? I assume the fix will be similar to the one above, so perhaps it's a matter of looking into the IE.css files. I just wouldn't know where to look.

Love the mod... is there a way to have a tab be a direct link.. .not a drop down menu with linki? Also, the drop down on mine is not just a tab length wide.. the drop down is screen wide... and can we change the color / font color of the drop down. I see we can change the background of the drop down with your settings tab... but what about changing the tab color when moused over or selected... like the vB tabs? Lots of questions.. but thanks for the great work.

Works fine for me on 4.0.6

Also a tip for those who have installed. IE7 will fill up the whole horizantal screen for the sub menu drop downs. In the template emu_tabs, find

Find

<ul class="popupbody popuphover">

Replace with

<ul class="popupbody popuphover" style="width:auto;">

Hope it helps.

I just installed this on my VB4 that I am testing before I go "Live". I'm impressed!

My only minor complaint is that the dropdown doesn't close after the new browser opens. Clicking the page closes it.

Great mod! I really need something like this.

Ok.. I have this installed and I do like it.

I do have a request which may or may not be beyond the scope of the support but if anyone knows how .. pls let me know.

I have the drop down / new tab for my flash chat program, and I would like it to show how many ppl are in chat at that moment.

Below is a screen shot from another board, running VB and java chat (they used to use flash chat). I was wondering how to accomplish this.

Thanks in advance,

We have been using this mod, and loving it, except for the hover color issue. After a few hours of digging around the code, we have come up with a solution!

Live Preview: Click Here (http://www.rockstarnetwork.net/)
You will see that our last two tabs are the drop down tabs from this mod! And the hover color is working perfectly!

Step 1: Search for "emu_tabs" in your templates
Once you find this section, you will notice this code that will appear:
<li class="popupmenu">
<a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl navtab" style="background:transparent url({vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/arrow.png) no-repeat {vb:stylevar right} center; padding-right: 15px">{vb:raw tabname}</a>
<ul class="popupbody popuphover">
{vb:raw hejsa}
</ul></li>

To fix the hover color issue, you will need to change "transparent" to whatever color your other tabs are. In our case, "white" was the proper color. So the new code should be:

<li class="popupmenu">
<a href="javascript://" class="popupctrl navtab" style="background:hover-color white url({vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/arrow.png) no-repeat {vb:stylevar right} center; padding-right: 15px">{vb:raw tabname}</a>
<ul class="popupbody popuphover">
{vb:raw hejsa}
</ul></li>

This may not be the case for everyone, but you may notice that these two tabs have no "bottom border" and stand out like a sore thumb. Step 2 we have posted a fix for this.

Step 2: To fix the bottom border issue with your tabs, go to "Styles & Templates / Style Manager / Style Vars / navbar_tab_bevel

Once you have searched for "navbar_tab_bevel, you now need to set the width to "0", and this will fix your bottom border on your tabs.

Again, this last step may not be something everyone needs to do, but in our case, we needed to.

We hope this helps everyone with the whole hover color issue!
