Love this hack!

One thing that is strange on my install is some white padding between forums now. It only appears when I select the 'tabbed' style. The parent style does not have that problem.

Eg: http://www.wpguild.com/index.php

Also, once ive gone into a sub forum, the tabs disappear. Is there anyway to have them their at all times?

I don't have it bookmarked, just do a search on Tabs and Remote Links and you should be able to find it. Sorry that I can't be more help right now... Im not pursuing using the DD .js file anymore as we shifted all development to YUI Tabview. (and just so you know, so far remote links work like a charm with the YUI Tabview).

Hey Bob, great mod. I'm having some troubles setting up remote links as well. Looked at the DD thread.

If you are doing that, then you will need to find a way to be able to get that data (the get variable for forumtabs) and pass that along to the expandit function in the script. Normally it would be something like this:

Code:

ajaxtabs_instance.expandit(<?php echo $_GET['forumtabs'];?>);

Although, being that this is vb and you are not able to parse php in your templates, I'm at a loss.
Hope this helps nonetheless.

Ok, I can define something like $tabid in vb's core php file which is bbs.php and have that passed to template forumhome, so I could put something like

Code:

ajaxtabs_instance.expandit($tabid);

in my forumhome template

That shouldn't be hard.

Any ideas how to achieve that I tried adding

Code:

$tabid = $_GET['ajaxTFH'];

to my index.php, but that obviously was too simple thinking (btw using the 1.5 version of the mod)

I was sort of skimming the thread and it appear this works for 3.7.x, right?

Also, I saw something about Google not being able to crawl or get certain content with the tabs. What's the story with this?

I have worked out that this can be done through Usergroups. If public joinable secondary usergroups were set, up one for each tab and users selected which tabs of forums they were interested in viewing, then all the search, new posts etc would only display what their usergroups were allowed to see

Now the final thing and what seems to be the most elusive feature for me is how to get the tab bar after my first main category of generic forums.

I have experimented but can't get it to work. My main category of generic forums is ForumID 4 so somewhere in the compilation of the forum home page i.e. as it is creating the forums to display it need to have an "if" in there. So as it creates the page if condition="$forum[forumid] == 4" then start creating the page as normal (without tabs) and then if condition="$forum[forumid] != 4" THEN create the tabs.

I know it sounds easy for a non coder which I am but no doubt it may not be as easy as that.

Any suggestions on how I can do this as I so desperatly need it - my forum members need it :)

Just hang on for a few days and I will show you how simple it is to do..

Is there a way to disable the collapse? When I installed this I had a few catagories collapsed and now no matter what I do I can't get them to un-collapse. I would like to just disable them. Anyone?

Let me explain why I am saying changing it doesn't seem easily achieved. Unless I am reading your reply wrong, you have say 3 tabs (made up):
Tab One: Forum IDs: 2, 5, 8
Tab Two: Forum IDs: 1, 4, 7
Tab Three: Forum IDs: 3, 6

Now, as I understand it, if you are viewing tab one you would like the quick search to only search Forum IDs 2, 5, and 8. But viewing tab two, you want it to search 1, 4, and 7. The problem is not learning how to specify the tab URLs, it is learning how to dynamically change the values as you switch tabs unless we redesigned how TFH looked by removing the navbar and forcing it into the tab view so it could be different per tab.

Also, I am not sure if we can limit new posts and the other suggested items based on forum ids.

I believe Bob uploaded a .xml that has WOL fixes, if not, it is fixed in 2.0 already.

Can someone offer css advice?

I am trying to get the tabs to spread right across 100% of my forums with each tab being the same width.

Plus if the text in one or more of the tabs is wrapped into say 2 lines then all the tabs become the same height as well regardless if they only contain a single word.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

edit: I tried the 1.01 version, and got it to work to an extent. Tab 1 never aligns with tabs 2 or 3. It's one pixel lower than the others because it overlaps the outer boarder of the forums display, where the others do not.

I might consider helping to rewrite the instructions. While I was able to follow them along myself, they are written extremely poorly and contain a lot of extra work that is unneeded and also don't explain many parts properly.

Go for it. If you feel you can improve instructions for version 1.01 (or 1.5 for that matter) be my guest. I (we) don't have time and have already said that all further development on ver 1.01 and 1.5 has stopped and that all efforts are being focused on version 2.0

NOTE TO ALL

If anyone is interested in continuing the Development of either version 1.01 or 1.5, you can contact Me via PM telling me why we should consider you. If considered, we'll add you to the Team for further development and support of either version.

This only happens when you have the same forum in more than one tab (which by using the default vB functions, the collapseIDs are always assigned by using the forumID).. This is what is causing the conflict and is being re-written in version 2.0 to prevent that.

Did you try and uncollapse them from the first tab that they are displayed in? I just tried that and it worked.

If you want to strip out the Collapse Functionality, just remove the code (in RED ) in the Below Template..

Template Name: forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost

Code:

<!-- TFH -->

<if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT == 'tabforumhome' AND in_array($forum['forumid'], $GLOBALS[tabcats])) OR THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay'">

<!-- /TFH -->





<tbody>

        <tr>

                <td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">

                        <if condition="$childforumbits">

                        <a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumbit_$forumid')"><img id="collapseimg_forumbit_$forumid" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat{$collapseimg_forumid}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

                        </if>

                        <a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</a>

                        <if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>

                        <if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>

                </td>

        </tr>

</tbody>

<if condition="$childforumbits">

<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}">

$childforumbits

</tbody>

</if>





<!-- TFH -->

I must be blind, but I can't swee in the template on where to fix this: Under each tab it has the line that says "Forum, Last post, # of threads, etc" above the actual forum name. So basically the thwo are switched compared to how they normally are, but for some reason I can't spot the code to switch them. Any help here?

                <li><a href="tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=22&tabcat[]=117&tabcat[]=13&tabcat[]=17&tabcat[]=115" rel="ajaxTFHcontentarea">Rap Battles Online</a></li>

                <li><a href="tabforumhome.php?tabcat[]=4&tabcat[]=50&tabcat[]=51&tabcat[]=158&tabcat[]=163&tabcat[]=168" rel="ajaxTFHcontentarea">Game Vault</a></li>

and if's correct then why it's not working :( my vBulletin version is 3.7.2

I just upgraded to 3.7.3 and no forums are showing on my tabs! help! I am using 1.0.1.

I just reverted my template since no one could get to my forums. Let me know if anyone else had this problem when upgrading and what I can do to fix it. I really liked how the tabs looked. I saved a copy of my old FORUMHOME so I can switch it back fairly quick.

The Million Dollar Question.... we've had so many requests (all great requests btw) that we are re-working a lot of it to be a complete product with a multitude of features. Time hasn't been easy for the 3 of us working on the project, so things are slow at the moment. Its Possible that a beta version will be available for testing this coming month.

Hi,

Ive installed and its all working great so far! Im just wondering if someone could help with one last thing! I have attempted it, but failed miserably!

Would it be possible to put the tabs inside a box which would stretch the length of the forum? Ive attatched a screen shot of what I mean. Also, which text/file do I need to edit to make them slightly larger.

Ive made the box white in the picture so it stands out, but if I could get it to match the colour of the box outlining the navbar that would be great.

I really appreciate any help :)

Hi bobster,

Many thanks for your reply. Ive had a look at that site, but found it quite daunting! I did trial one out but couldnt get it to work.

If there was just someway I could put a box around my tabs and make them a little bit bigger I would be very happy with the current layout. :)

One more thing ive noticed - It seems to be working fine in FF, however with IE7, when you click on one of the tabs, it has serious graphic issues - header, navbar and footer missing along with lots of other graphics.
