Tom, you are talking about a totally different MOD. The one you are referring to is AJAX Tabbed Content that I wrote specifically for vBa CMPS.

This has nothing to do with that. This is a NON AJAX Solution for Tabbing out the Categories for Forum Home only. It was done this way on purpose. It was done as a request and was something I never wanted to release because it required manual install and setup, however, I received 100s of PMs and was tired of dealing with them so I just released this MANUAL version. It was never written with the intention of releasing it to members here. It was written the way it was so that it could be customized in one template (FORUMHOME) without writing a ton of template conditionals within multiple templates. It was also done NON Ajax for a reason.

Version 2 (which HAS been written with the intention for releasing to members) works similar (but not the same) as the MOD you are talking about. One difference will be that version 2 of this MOD will utilize YUI.

Once version 2 of this MOD is done, AJAX TABS for CMPS is being converted to YUI as well.

What will be nice for you is that the content files that you already have can also be used in this one (as well as 3 other mods that are currently under development)

YUI is allowing the development to include some nice features for all you users out there. ;)

I'm having some trouble with this mod. $forumbits by itself displays everything perfectly but when I make my own variable such as $forumbits2 with category id (1,1,0) it doesn't style and just outputs plain text with the spacing. (I'm not using the default vbulletin style. Where can I edit what $forumbits outputs?

Hey Hammerhead,

Sounds like you would benefit from holding off for version 2 which is much easier to work with, specially if you have custom styles that deviate from default vb layout/templating ... If you want to try, you will still need to edit the forum home template only.... you will see in the instructions remarks about were to edit layout code for your custom style.... ALL of that goes away with the next version however..

Thanks for the quick response :) When can we expect the new version?

P.S. I actually fixed the problem and it works great!

Another question:

I'm trying to combine this mod with another one that displays forums in categories in 2 columns. Here is the link: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...=99829&page=23

The problem is that, again, it only affects the main $forumbits variable and not $forumbits_tab1 which is the category in which I want to display the forums in two columns. How can change that?

Check to see if that MOD makes any changes to the forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost and forumhome_forumbit_level1_post Templates. If it does, you will have to re-create that manually in the container for that specific Category. Kinda a pain in the backside, but its doable.

Again, this will be automatic with the next version since the next version uses those templates.

Bugs + Back End features. There is still quite a bit of work.

Just found this Mod and it is exactly what I am looking for, I don't think I can hold out for v2 before installing, will v2 include the removal of this version and update to v2, so that vb updates in the future don't effect it?

Any chance for an automatic installation like other mods ?

Installation will be much easier. I did it the other day in like 5 minutes max.
