Not at the moment.

And when the user is viewing the forum the tab has an other colour??

I just installed it...piece of cake. I'm still debating whether I want to keep it or not. I'll ask my members what they think.

But, it does what it's supposed to and effectively. Thanks for sharing! :D

:up:

Just so i know before i install, how difficult is this to enable on one style and not on other styles?

Gio....anyway that I can have this showing to members but not for guests? I want to make sure that guests are not going to think that nothing is going on by only seeing the first category with only two forums in it.

Any thoughts?

That's already planned for the premium version, but not the light at the moment.

Any ETA on when the premium version will have that option?

Should be available by tomorrow.

Sounds good. Please update us on that. That would be very big for us.

Well the light version looks totally useless then :) Awesome!

Beautiful Mod...:cool:

If U can get it to use multi-layered-tabs,,, that would be Beauts...

Demo please ?

Hi,

good idea but you should try to get close to this one regarding the layout:

Looks more beautiful and usable to me.

all the best,

great product. how can i have tabs on every single page of the forum

this was very simple to install...
i edited the header bits template to thead instead of tcat tho...
all depends on your style...
thanks...just what i needed...

Hello again,
I have installed your mod now and it`s really great. Maybe you can pick up the e-steki idea and allow another set of tabs for "what`s going on", "stats" etc. Don`t know if that`s possible.

Could you make a compare list of your free- and premium versions features? I`m interested in buying the premium one but I?m not sure what it offers above the free one.

Thank you - all the best,
Sacha

how can i allow user to click the tabs instead of just navgiating to see the tabs forum
Can we have a image saying forum category like the link Attitude5ire posted.

i added this but for 5 of my styles it shows 'Forum, Last Post, Threads, Posts. ABOVE the category name so its not inline. How can i change this? Other than that works fab thank you :D

will this mod mess with spiders and search engine crawlers and their findings on the site?

the last post, threads, and post columns for the stats are not lined up properly. ideas?

Yeah Same Problem..its Not In Linke...is There Anyway I Can Pic And Choose Which Ones I Want To Show.

To get rid of the header information on a style from above the tabs and into the tabs instead:

Delete the following from the forumhome template:

After $forumbits, add:
In forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost

Add this to the top of the template:
Then before
Add:
Now add </table> to the end of the template and you should be good to go.

Keep in mind you can mess with the option to add the forum table wrap to mess with which styles it'll automatically update well for you, and for the others you can make the edit above if you'd like.

Not in the light version, sorry.

i dont want to get rid of it, i want to move it below the tabs that your mod creates, on one of my styles it all appeasrs fine. Thanks :)

Hi,

I had a closer look at the mod and will post now a summary of my understanding of how the mod works and how it can be improved:

1. It adds a div element with the id "forumhome_tabs_switch_content" which will contain the first category of forums on your forum-startpage. This category will be displayed initially / by default when loading the page.
2. Then all categories including their forums are displayed again and wrapped with a div element with the id "forumhome_tabs_$forum[forumid]". This means the first category will be included twice in the generated HTML-Source code which unnecessarily increases the size and loading time of the start page. It`s also confusing for visually impaired people if their screen-readers read the first cat twice.
3. The categories also get a "display: none" inline style so they don`t appear but instead work as content-containers for the little java-script that pulls the content in these containers to the "forumhome_tabs_switch_content" when clicking on a tab.
4. To make the containers invisible via an inline style has the drawback of making all categories and their forums inaccessible for users that have deactivated JavaScript.

So the three major disadvantages are:

• repetition of the first category and all it`s forums
• non-functional links in the tabs when JS is turned off
• all categories and their forums are hidden and unaccessible when JS is turned off

To get rid of the disadvantages you should change the tab-links from
to
in template: g_forumhome_tabs_headbits
so they work as link to local anchors when JS is not available.

To make the local anchors work, you should give the div-content-containers a name attribute with the same value as their id:
in template g_forumhome_tabs_forumbit_1

That was the easy part. I don`t have enough knowledge and experience yet to make the next steps myself but it shouldn`t be too difficult for someone who knows a bit of DOM-scripting.

Basically you should remove the style="display: none;" for the content containers and stop the repitition of the first category. Then you should give the first category a different id then the other categories (might be there already) and hide all the other categories via DOM-script instead with inline style.

After that you would have to change the JS-function that gets called by the tab links so it switches the desired category visible and all others invisible.

I`ll try to solve it myself and find the necessary DOM-script snippets. But I hope there are few devs here who can help.

edit: I think I found a solution: http://www.stilbuero.de/2006/05/13/a...s-with-jquery/
Will try tomorrow.

all the best,
Sacha

Edited the post accordingly : )

Will there be a pro version to this? or is light meaning something else?

Yep, there already is. The link to it is in the first post ;)

Great job! It's even a product unlike those other modifications!

its fantastic thank you very much, your edits sorted out my problem with the alignment and display of the forum stats (i had to remove the </table> part at the end though as it put my themes out of line just incase anyone else has the same thing)

Its great that its a simple product, i tried the other tab ones and found it very difficult.

How about answering my question Gio-logist?

That option is only available in the premium modification.

Bug:

s. Screenshot

The first bug is a width issue that will be fixed in the next update, the second one is the option via admincp to add a forum table wrap, edit it accordingly ; )

Nominated....

Feature Request:

What i miss really hard is a Option to select which Forum ID?s should be Tabbed.

I only want to tab the 4 largest Areas of my Forum and not my News-, Annonuncement- and Teamforum. The small ones should allways be present.

Should look and worke like for Example :

1. Tabs where they are now

2. The Forums that are not tabbed

3. The choosen tabbed Forum

When will this Update arrive?

So, I go to your site thinking there may be a demo of this and right across the top of thr page we find :

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/giologis/public_html/vb/forums.php(69) : eval()'d code on line 1

The width issue has been fixed, the zip has been updated..

Nope, that was a new mod i was working on and you probably caught an error in between me doing so ;)

Hi,

my users start complaining about the fact that when you open a tab and click on a link within the tab and then return to the start page you won`t see the tab that contained the link but always the default tab.

So I think it would be a very good idea to somehow remember which was the active tab when leaving the startpage or when opening any tab other than the default-tab. Maybe via cookie?

all the best,
Sacha
