***************Update**************

Just to let everyone know i will be adding a variety of different styles of tabs this week and i'll be uploading them shortly, This will allow members to select tabs which compliment their forums in all different colors rather than the default Neutral and Black one.

There should be about 30 different styles, so it shouldn't be hard to choose one for your forums.

If anyone needs more info or help to get started, please don't hesitate to post and i'll help where i can.

If you've uploaded your tabs to your site and are happy with them and want to show off :rolleyes: PM me with a link to your site and i'll add it to the Live Demo List to show other members what can be acheived.

Thanks Guys :)

Hi Dan,

Enjoy ;)

small question:

If I wanted to have the tab links to represent the links from the navbar and then remove the links from the navbar, how would you go about register changing to usercp once someone has logged in ?
If this can be done I will definetly use them.

Hiya :)

Not sure what you mean, I think your saying that you want to use the menu tabs as opposed to the navbar??

Not 100% sure but you could copy all the navbar links and incorporate them into the new menu tabs, USer CP, Register, New Posts etc they can all be incorporated

When you Sign in then perhaps you could have a conditional attached to show tabs for signed in members, I'm not sure how this would be done, perhaps some of the more experianced coders would like to play with the ideas.

Normally what i've found is that if you, just display all the tabs to everyone the if an unregistered member click on say Who's Online, or User CP, Then they would automatically get the Registration Box, If the want to proceed further thats what they need to do Register.

The Idea is really trial and error, Try it and see if it works for you, Its Pretty easy HTML and it just gets pasted to the end of your Header Template, So its not gonna mess up your site or content, If it don't work for you, Just remove it from your Header and Hey Presto, Back to where you were. :D

Keep us up to date with what you decide, it may help others.

:D

Great mod.

My only question is how to center the menu with a fluid style? Your suggestion above doesn't work for different screen sizes/resolutions.

Thanks!

Thanks :)

The only way i know is how to edit the code as i said, to have it adjustable for every resolution and auto adjusting is a differnt ball game all together.


Thats why in the coding the tabs are over to the right as oppose to being central because of the issue with the resolutions, if anyone has an idea, let me know ;)

A problem I'm having when I put this in the header template is that I click on a thread and it comes up with the menu tabs down where the thread should be instead of the thread.

Could it be a problem with having vBAdvanced integration?

Not Sure can you give us a link or screenshot
:confused:

Thanks

No problem, see attached. Thanks!

It looks like you have the tabs at the top of your header :eek:

You need to place the code at the very bottom, Try it and let me know ;)
