With AJAX powered Tabs as well as one click Favouriting of forums to add to a user's personal Favourites Tab, DFT makes navigating the forum home a more pleasant and customizable experience for users and admins alike.

Im getting this error below when i try and install the xml -


XML Error: not well-formed (invalid token) at Line 1

Very strange. I've just downloaded and tried reimporting the XML on a test site and it works fine for me. Perhaps the download was corrupted somehow when you downloaded. Can you try redownloading the file and seeing if that fixes the issue. Has anyone else had this problem?

[Rckcrwlr]

I like the format...tagged for future.

[Raimund]

That's a great Mod! Been searching for something like this for a while.

two bugs? i found

1. that X-Button - in the bar telling you don't have any favourites set yet - is not working, the bar will not disappear unless i put something in the favs.
2. Tabs within a category don't show up, i have to set them as a global tab to appear.

and some request for future versions. is it possible that each user can set a default active tab wihtin the user control panel? and is it possible to have global tabs only without a category set? i only have one category active to show the global tabs.

Thanks!

PS: sorry for my english

Glad you like the mod so far. :)

Will look into the two bugs, I've an idea what's causing them.

The Pro version does allow for setting a per user default tab in their control panel.

The second idea of having Global Tabs only without a category set I'm not sure of exactly what you mean. The Pro version does allow you to hide the Category Tabs and it will run effectively off the first Category Tab and what AJAX Tabs are assigned to it and the Global Tabs as well. Is that you are wanting?

[DragonByte Tech]

Hi everyone,

Thanks to a number of bug reports we've worked out some of the issues to do with DragonByte Forum Tabs (DFT) and so we are releasing version 1.0.3 which contains those fixes and a number of other issues we came across (for both the Pro and Lite versions). It also adds a method to prevent the main Category Tab and AJAX Tab from being deactivated which caused a number of errors.

The full Changelog is here:

Feature: Unable to deactivate either the 'Forum' Category Tab or the 'All' AJAX Tab.
Fixed: Template that wasn't cached.
Fixed: Unstickied Category Tab showing next to the 'More' Tab when the Selected Category.
Fixed: Non-Global Tabs not showing up under their parent Category Tab.
Fixed: No Favourites and No Default Tab notices not dismissing correctly.
Fixed: Issue where on all Category Tabs and AJAX Tabs being deactivated would cause a PHP error.
Fixed: Cookie setting error.
Fixed: A conditional that conflicts with the fix for non-Global Tabs above.

Thanks as always to everyone for their feedback and suggestions.

[Raimund]

Thanks for the fixes!

the Pro Version does everything i suggested, i did'nt realized there was a pro version. i'm getting the pro version :)

[DragonByte Tech]

Thanks for the fixes!

the Pro Version does everything i suggested, i did'nt realized there was a pro version. i'm getting the pro version :)

Cool, glad you're happy with the fixes. Another slight fix in the files for an IE error. Just reupload the files (no need to reimport the XML if running version 1.0.3). :)

Just posting from my personal account here, but in checking the download just now it has the class_install.php file in the correct place. Try verifying the files have been placed in the correct locations and redownload from here if there is a missing file perhaps due to a corrupt download.

Tonight's release of DragonByte Forum Tabs to v1.0.4 fixes a number of minor issues as well as adding a couple of mini features to further enhance #DFT (http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=DFT) . The main new features is that now Notices can be added to display in a Category Tab, thereby showing it across every AJAX Tab in that Category. Full fix list is as follows:

Feature: Can set in the Admin Control Panel the default setting for 'Add Forum Automatically to User's Favourites' on adding new forums.
Feature: Can set notices to appear when viewing a category.
Fixed: Stuck on tab when viewing forum in a mobile style.
Fixed: Several issues with notices displaying incorrectly.

Thanks as always to everyone for their feedback and suggestions, I'll be looking at incorporating them in the coming weeks.

[DragonByte Tech]

Released a bug fix (v1.0.5) for DragonByte Forum Tabs (#DFT (http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=DFT)) to fix an issue with Favourites in some MySQL setups.

Fixed: A bug where in some instances the Favourites threw out a database error.

I've uploaded the files again as there was an error in the package uploaded. Please redownload if you downloaded v1.0.5 before this message.

Hello. I've downloaded and installed the mod and adjusted the settings to make tabs appear, but they are nowhere to be found on my forum. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Have version 4.0.8.

Definitely have tabs and categories created. What could be wrong?

[SpikedRocker]

I have a dark themed, forum, trying to figure out where I need to make CSS edits. Any idea where I can look?

Do you have this problem if you look at the forum with a Default style? What settings have you adjusted during the setup? :)

AJAX Tabs need to have a parent Category Tab, and both need to be marked as active.

If you want to create an account for me to look at the settings in the ACP, please PM me the website location, along with a username and password and I'll take a look. :)

G'day mate,
I install this mod and once I got my head around the admin side of things - brilliant job!
One issue however; we use a wiki mod called VaultWiki. The 'Wiki' forums will not appear in the tab I put them in :(

Any thought? Am happy to give you access etc to play...

Glad you like it. :)

I use VaultWiki as well and haven't had any issues in the normal forum display showing up. Which version are you currently using and is it Lite or Pro? If you want to send me an Admin account to access the details via PM, then I'll take a look and see if there's anything unusual.

Thanks lurch. Will have a look now and see what's what. :)

Firstly - HUGE thanks to Matt for looking into the bug with VaultWiki and giving me a work around.

This is a fantastic mod, highly recommended.

[RedDevil]

Is it possible to change the location of the tabs to be higher up, as indicated in the attached image.

[DragonByte Tech]

Maybe. It would mean either relocating the template variable:

{vb:raw template_hook.forumhome_above_forums} in the FORUMHOME template, or more likely will need to force the rendering of the DFT code before the other mods utilize the same template. You could try it by changing the plugin execution code on the Cache Templates plugin from 5 to 4.

I've not had chance to try this myself, but I suspect option two is the better one to try, and I'd test it on a test setup first.

Let me know if it solves your problem.

neither of the above affected position, moving the hook just moved them all in same order, I didnt want to mess too much, as i dont have a test site I just tested it on an unused style. would probably be better using a different hook or the option to place in different areas.

[DragonByte Tech]

Thanks for trying it out.

The only other option that might work (depending on how the other mods use the same hook) is to change a section of the /dbtech/forumtabs/hooks/process_templates_complete.php file.

Find this line:

$template_hook['forumhome_above_forums'] .= $templater->render();

Replace with:

$template_hook['forumhome_above_forums'] = $templater->render() . $template_hook['forumhome_above_forums'];

Remember this will need changing each time there's an update. I'll see if there's a way of forcing this in the mod, but part of it will depend on the way that the other mods use the hook as I mentioned above.

I wish I could suggest using another hook, but the problem is that there is no other hook fitting where you want, as all three mods use the same hook code. I hope that makes sense.

Let me know how you get on.

Result thats much better, we have a few who have small screen laptops and this way the tabs are accessible without scrolling down.

Big Thanks for the help.

[DragonByte Tech]

Glad that's helped. Belazor at DBTech suggested making the execution order of the plugin I mentioned previously as 65535 which might improve the results even more.

Thanks for letting me know how it worked. :)

[ps2wiz]

How do I change the spelling of what I have underlined in red. I'd like to change the spelling to "Favorites", what file and line do I need to edit?

I have already edited the Tab name in Admin CP

http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/5203/favouritesn.png

[DragonByte Tech]

Thanks for posting matey. You need to change the phrase dbtech_forumtabs_favourites. This will change every use of that phrase, so let me know if it ends up changing more than you expect or need and we'll see if we can find a solution (as I'm not sure how widespread you want to change the term).

[DragonByte Tech]

Hi everyone,

Released a bug fix (v1.0.8) for DragonByte Forum Tabs (#DFT) to fix issues with compatibility for a number of non DBTech mods. This centres around a new setting which allows you to choose to not use the Quick Load methods DFT traditionally uses for loading AJAX Tabs and use a slightly slower version (for most forums) which will fix the compatibility issues we were having.

Feature: New Option to choose type of AJAX load.
Fixed: VaultWiki incompatibilities.
Fixed: Compatibility issues with some mods.

Changed the following files:
/dbtech/forumtabs/includes/class_core.php
/dbtech/forumtabs/hooks/cache_templates.php
/dbtech/forumtabs/hooks/process_templates_complete.php
/dbtech/forumtabs/clientscript/forumtabs.js

Thanks as always to everyone for their feedback and suggestions.

[RedDevil]

Am I doing something wrong? I have the pro version, I bought like 6 months ago and since then have put all this a side. I am now back, and ready to build my site.

Say I make a category on my forums and call it sports. In the sports section there is say 4 forums called NBA, NFL, NBA & MLB. I want to make a tab and connect it to my sports section so when they click the tab is will show all 4 sports section. But I can't seem to get it to do this. OR the tabs can not do this? Or is my pro version out dated?

Matt

[cyceronpl]

Now it installs fine. However I think there is a bug with sub forums and adding them to favourites. If you click the button which is supposed to add all Subforums of a forum to favourites, it does nothing but moves you to the top of the main screen.

[DragonByte Tech]

Thanks matey, will look into it and see what the problem is as the subforums favourite adding is a Pro only feature. :)

Hi DB,

Looking good, it will certainly enhance my readers experience so they don't have to keep scrolling to get to where they want in forum.

How does this affect seo and if so would a latest thread marquee help above the forums with this?

[DragonByte Tech]

We've designed it to work with mods like vBSEO (there is a setting in the ACP that can be activated to maintain compatibility), but anything within stock vB SEO should work fine.

As far as SEO generally, I'll dig deeper into the impact on a site. I've not looked at it any further than maintaining compatibility with SEO methods within vB.

Thanks for the questions.

Matt :)

[Bubble #5]

Before members save their favorite tabs a yellow message appears at the top of the forums saying "You currently have no favorites saved. Click..."

We'd like to personalize this a bit and have it say "Hello <their username here>, You currently have no favorites saved. Click..."

What is the correct code to do that? I think it's $username or something right?

[ozzy47]

First thing edit the phrase, dbtech_forumtabs_no_favourites and change it to this,

Hey there {1}, you have no favourites saved. Click the <img src="dbtech/forumtabs/images/add.png" title="Add Favourite Image" /> on your favourite forums to add them to your favourites list

Then edit the template, dbtech_forumtabs_tabs search for the following:

{vb:rawphrase dbtech_forumtabs_no_favourites}

And change it to this:

{vb:rawphrase dbtech_forumtabs_no_favourites, {vb:raw bbuserinfo.username}}

You can always edit the phrase to your liking, just remember {1} will be replaced with the users name that is viewing the message.

[Bubble #5]

Works like a charm :up:

You're the best Ozzy! Thank you so much.:)

[ozzy47]

Not a problem, glad to help. :)

Thanks for the suggestion ozzy47. Will look to adding this into the core content in the next update. :)

this mod can hide forum category(X) in forumhome?

Yes, you can hide the categories and forums you want. You can have the same forum and category appear in different tabs if you want. :)

They should appear there. Maybe there is a slight issue with your CSS styling, or perhaps the styling you are using is casuing an overlapping or 'new line' unexpectedly. If you get chance, can you PM me here or at dragonbyte-tech.com (my username is Mokonzi) a link to your site so I can take a look at the CSS myself? :)

It looks like you have categories and tabs setup. The following bits of information might help:

The first tab is the 'All Forums' tab and will display everything. The Favourites tab will only display what favourites a user has selected.

The way the system works, when a user first goes to the forums for their first visit, they will either see the default tab within a category, or they will be dropped to the first available tab, which is the All tab (which appears within any category, as does the Favourites tab).

Navigating through the other tabs within a category will change what the tab is that is displayed on their next visit.

The final thing to remember is that each AJAX tab that you create can be made 'global', which means it will appear in every category.

I hope this helps you figure out what you need to change. If you still need some help, PM me on my personal account at www.dragonbyte-tech.com (My username is Mokonzi) with some access details to your site including your Admin Control Panel, and how you want things organized, and I'll take a look and see what needs adjusting.

thank you

Released a slight fix in some of the files for the Lite version only.

I have a custom skin, and this doesn't work for it.

Edit: Nvm, I'm an idiot.

Usually getting it to work is just a matter of tweaking the style IDs and CSS classes. If you have any issues let me know and I'll do what I can to help. :)

Hello! I've been trying to add this to our site for a few days and no tabs I make seem to work. I have added forums to the staff tab and added the staff usergroups to view it but when I click it the category shows up, but the forums within it are absent. Also, when we click "All" it doesn't load the entire forum. It usually takes a hard refresh. I have it disabled for now but I will re-enable it if you feel like helping. Thanks for the great addons!

[DragonByte Tech]

This sounds interesting. :)

First thing to check with the tabs is that you've included the main parent category along with the forums you want to use. So as an example let's say you have the forums below (a - indicating a sub level and the numbers reflecting the ID of the forums):

Category 1
- Forum 5
- Forum 6
-- Subforum 11
-- Subforum 12
- Forum 7
Category 2
- Forum 8
-- Subforum 13
-- Subforum 14
Category 3
- Forum 9
Category 4
- Forum 10

To make Forum 10 and Subforum 14 appear, you'd need to have Category 2, Forum 8, Subforum 14, Category 14 and Forum 10 selected. Usually forums not appearing is related to not including the parent forums and categories.

Regarding the pages requiring a hard refresh to appear, it might be you need to disable this setting:
AJAX Tabs Quick Load

That setting is designed to speed up the AJAX page load by only loading forum data. But some other plugins and mods require hooks that don't exist in that quick method. Disabling it might help fix that.

If those don't work, feel free to PM me some login information and I'll take a look at your setup. You can do that here or to my username Mokonzi on the http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com forums.

Hope this helps.

Matt

Disabling the Ajax feature fixed everything. Thanks man!

[DragonByte Tech]

No problem. Glad we figured it out. :)

Update

Hotfix: PHP 5.4 Compatibility fixes


This does not guarantee the mod is error free on PHP 5.4, but it will take care of the reported errors. Thank you all for your reports :)

Was this hotfix applied to the pro version on your site as I have the latest version installed of this Mod 1.09 running vb4.4 with PHP 5.4.27 and it was working fine until I applied the latest patch from vb4.2.3 to vb4.2.4 now I get the same error as above.


I have had to disable all modifications to get into the ACP then turn this Modification off otherwise its a blank page with this message.

Warning: Non-static method FORUMTABS_CACHE::init() should not be called statically in ..../dbtech/forumtabs/hooks/global_start.php on line 21

You would get better response time asking on their site, they only check here once a week or so.

[synseal]

There is no vb 4.2.4 version it only goes to 4.2.3

[synseal]

4.2.2 PL4....

Can I have a response from DB please?

I have two Pro modifications down since the latest patch from VB and from past experience with support on their site I would prefer support here out in the open.

Thanks.

[ozzy47]

Discussions on the Pro versions of the mods need to be handles on their site, not here on vB.org. :)

My apologies Ozzy, I wasn't aware that buying PRO got you no support in here. I will remember that when considering buying pro in the future.

Cheers. :D

[ozzy47]

It's not a DBTech policy, it is a vB.org policy. :)

[Alan_SP]

And just to add, probably all developers who have PRO versions in their portfolios would like opportunity to discuss much more about their pro version than that is allowed at the moment on vborg.

[ozzy47]

That may be true, but I doubt it will change. It has been that way for as long as I can remember.

Hi there,

We are unfortunately prohibited from discussing our PRO versions here on vb.org. Per vb.org rules we can only do so on our own site. Please post any questions/issues on the pro version there.

On another note we handle support at our site before vb.org support to ensure our customers get the best support experience. It is also easier for us to perform support there as we have a ticket system that allows us to track requests etc. As a result while support at our site is typically handled within a few hours, support here on vB.org is generally significantly more delayed as there is no good way for us to keep track of our 100+ product threads here on vb.org.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

This is an excellent modification DragonByte Tech. It compliments the chatbox well though I had to change a few lines of code to get it so the chatbox appears with every tab selection. Minor issue because I had to position the chatbox below the forum notices.

Thanks so much!

[mikkel221095]

Just downloaded this, uploaded the required files to the server and imported the plugin via the XML file and it worked fine, but in the AdminCP I don't have the option for DBTech to add tabs? My forum only has the default ones..

[DragonByte Tech]

Changed Features:

A fresh copy of the jQuery library is now only downloaded if one has not been downloaded previously. Requires updating of all other affected DBTech mods to take full effect.
