Would you be able to firm up the fix for IE as I'm having some trouble understanding your solution (which seems to be couched more as a "here are some clues but I really am not sure" advice than a "here's the fix" advice.

Thanks for your input!

I agree with you ArchAngelz ... and these flippant replies suggesting no need to fix the IE problem because they have so few users on it ... makes no sense. If companies like CNN.com or ESPN.com had that attitude ... they would not be anywhere near as successful.

Those people can only see the world from the well they are in.

Hopefully someone manages to jump out of it and help the rest of us out here.

Hii

Great mod!!!

have 3 problems:
1. can i make the drop menu open when the mouth over it instade of click it?
2. when i click on a tab its not highlighted like the home button.
3. how can i change the drop menu colors?

Edit: 1 more :)
can i make the MAIN tab to be a link to URL? when it a drop down menu (it connect to my 1st problem).

There are many people who are using IE 7, and they can not upgrade their browsers.
It's unfortunate if the full width issue can't be resolved.
I reall like this mod, and hope vb builds a tool into the product to make new tabs.

Agree. The width issue in IE really needs to get resolved.

Also, sometime the dropdown menu gets hidden behind other objects (like some widgets that have scripts). This happens in Firefox and IE.

Otherwise it's a great mod and I do very much appreciate the coder for developing it!

That's very funny since ESPN was one of the major LEADERS in the standards project which you may have heard of (WASP) and refused to cater to IE users, instead feeding them a nice "Upgrade your lame old browser" type message. So you are simply wrong.

That issue (the dropdowns hiding behind some elements) occurs when Flash banners or other media are placed in front of them. There is no way to fix this with dropdowns, except to use a crazy iframe hack which is far too complicated for myself. I suggest not getting too hung up on that problem. The IE problem is worse, and should be addressed. I might fix it if I decide to use this mod, but since the developer is seemingly AWOL (out for a loooong ++++ing lunch break) I am unable to use this. There are simply too many things lacking for my use.

Good luck though peeps. I feel your pain. At least you didn't pay the dude. He took my money and ran for the border it seems.

I think you are missing the wood for the trees; those are just examples quoted by him; the underlying message is still there.

Also, if you are able to, maybe you can try helping the rest of us with the IE7 problem with specific instructions.

Error to report: Once a new tab has been created, when you go to the site and click on it. It takes you to the correct page, but there is no indication that the tab is selected, it stays the same color. Original tabs like Home or Forum show they are selected by the stock line above and gradient over tab.

I am running Version 4.0.5 and I cannot install this product.

#1 Which zip file should I download?
#2 I have downloaded both zip files but I cannot import 'product-evbs_sstab_advanced.xml'. Where is that file? When I import the file that's in the includes subfolder I get an error message 'invalid file.'

Please advise.

How do I uninstall Tabs Add System for vBulletin 4 (sstab advanced)?

Since you ask so nicely, I figured out a fix for the IE7 issue (for some reason IE6 and IE8 are fine).

Search vbulletin-chrome.css template for this line: .. and right above it, paste:

Now BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP ME!!! :D (just kidding)

Now, to the immature jerk who was dissing me for not providing a fix sooner, he can suck my... well, I didn't appreciate the comment. And he IS wrong about big companies. It's the small ones like yours and mine who really can't afford NOT to care about 5% of our users. Hence the fix.

I hope you guys can be a little more tactful in your responses in the future - especially when there's people like me who are willing and able to help if we just get some respect.

This styling stuff isn't so hard if when you have Firebug and IETester.

Cheers! :)

so from the last posts i realise that there is no support , the mod isnt working well and the coder is gone, so no need bothering myself installing this hack right ?

When I hide the "What's New" tab it just appears back when I go onto vba cmps

This is an awesome mod and a huge timer saver!! Thank you for your work!!

I would like to use this with a vbadvanced portal. Can you tell me how I can add conditionals to show the forum tab only on the home page and the home page tab only on the forum??

Thanks

Richie, you don't need to use this hack for that. vba already has an option. Can't recall exactly where it is atm, but I use it. There's a thread about it at vba.com.

I think that option only works if you are using the cmps_index file as your forum page and I am not. I know exactly what you are talking about but it will not work in this situation.

Thanks though,

Rich

I have installed the product and it is outstanding. The instructions to install the product are not precise however. It's always awkward communicating effectively to nontechnical individuals, i.e., non-programmers. If I recall it has to do with a particular file not being specifically named and needed to be uploaded. I think the file name begins with product.

Thank you. Great product!

I Created a Tab with the followign Settings

Tab Label: vBulletin
This Tab is a Menu?: No

i am trying to get Tab Sub links to work but they dont show for vBulletin
can someone please help

Did anyone manage to add Tab-Sub Links ?
I have a new Tab which points to a conten.php?12
It is highligted, correct links,..
But as soon as i ass a Tab Sub Link to this Tab, it stops being highlited.
Tried all setting i can imagine for Tab Sub Links, but got no solution :(

Any help appreciated

Hello !

I would like to know if it's possible to center the tabs ?
Now, all the tabs are at the left of the page...

Thanks for your help ! :-)

Nice mod, working great here in 4.0.5

Works great for me as well, much appreciated.

Just letting you know this mod promotes invalid xHTML, look through your plugin code and you will find an li tag that is not closed. I changed it to </li> and it was fine and now validates. Just for future releases.

Getting an internal server error with both 203 and 204a in ACP. Config works and I see default tags but cannot access to add custom tags. Using VB4.0.6.

Any ideas?

thanks,,

Why every time I create new tab is highlighted like this...see attached image
Can someone please tell me how to fix this?

Thanks a million!

Attachment 120788

Never mind...It corrected it's self after I upgraded to 2.0.4a version. But the product-evbs_sstab_advanced.xml is still showing 2.0.3 version?

This is one of my favorite mods of all time!! Thank you for this!!

I am trying to set up dynamic home and forum links.. I'm sorry if this has been covered but how do I do this? I have tried over and over with no success..

This is the normal code I would use for a dynamic link..not sure how to use it with this mod.. Can anyone help please?

Thank!

There is nobody in here than knows how to do this with me paying?

I'd be willing to "donate" $30 to the developer (or any else) who cld help me get this running at gm-diesel.com. Right now, I get an ineternal server error for every VBSopporte tab except for the config so it is useless.

Is it possible to set the tab link to open a pop up window? I'm using it for a chat system and would like to have the chat window open as a popup and not in a separate window.

Actually if I could set it so the user can choose a popup or not that would be great.

thank for a great mod

I cant believe those of you with Vbadvanced portals are using a forum link and a home link all the time instead of using a dynamic link with conditionals..

So much for any support on this issue. I have asked on both sites and the only person that will help me supposedly wants $10. I am disappointed that nobody could spend 5 minutes to even reply to me..

Richie I'm in the same boat as you, not only is the lack of support unimpressive but so is the attitude of some of the community members (eg. PAY). I will however match your offer/go halves with you if you really want to get someone to fix this

EDIT: Also, can anyone confirm that it works with 4.0.6? I've read a few comments here that suggests it doesn't and I want to upgrade my install to the latest version. Thanks

It works for me. 4.0.6.

As far as the pop up--if using flashchat you will have to create an html file as well for the window..(you don't have to create a file, this is just one way to do it)

Here is the code I came up with so far but I haven't tried it yet..The tabs are giving me a real headache for some reason..I don't know but maybe this will help you a bit..
I haven't yet figured out the dynamic link either but I am going to just try it with out the mod...

Thanks

Anyone managed to fiddle the class to allow the drop down menus to also be selected as you pass over them? i.e. they background changes using selected-tab-gradient-with-top-alpha.png

cheers.

I am all set with the dynamic link.. working on the pop up windows for flashchat--pm me if anyone needs it..

Thanks

PS-I still do not have this working correctly-I want the window to log users in auto and I am having trouble with that... If anyone has a working pop up for flashchat either using this tabs mod or not please let me know.

Actually I'm using AVChat. They do supply a link code to add to the navbar template, thus putting the link next to the "calendar" link. The link does open in a pop window fine and even has my admin functions. I can add a tab, but it opens only in another window or the same window and without my admin functions. Strange...

The link code I can use in the navbar template is similar to yours
I'd like to see how you got yours working. It might work the same for mine... pm sent.
