Hi, this mod is more beautiful but it's installation is more complex... :(
Moreover when is relased a news versione of vbulletin and style (ex: 3.7.1) and I update the style, I lost all modified and I have to redo the procedure :( Excuse me for my bad english but I'am italian |
At the step N.12 there is:
Locate the HTML comment <!-- main --> In my FORUMHOME template there isn't code <!-- main --> :( Where I can find it? |
This is my FORUMHOME code:
PHP Code:

Bobster,
This is wonderful work. I just have one question - is it smart to install this to forums with an increadible amount of boards? I have a forum with around a 100 forums that are set as sub-forums to forums that act as categories on the homepage in order to save bandwidth and take the load off the server (otherwise the site would barely be able to work), and I reckon that since this mod isn't AJAX-based, it would mean all of my sub-forums would have to load on the homepage in order for the members to browse via tabs, am I right? |

Thanks for such a quick response. So, yes, obviously it's better for me not to install this as all of the forums will need to load this way, which is not the case with my current layout (only links to the forums in the subcategory list in the category row). Well, I might try and see, if I do, I'll report about the load. I don't have a development site yet, if that changes, I'd be glad to help you with beta testing if I'll have time. |
It's cool :D

Hello bobster,
First of all, this is an amazing hack! I got it too work (for the most part) even thought my knowledge about this all is really limited. Tested it on a test site and it worked. Can't wait to integrate it on my live site. One question though. I tested it out with 3 tabs but when I click on a different tab, it goes to the tab but the first tab is still highlighted. Since a screenshot says more than words, here is a screenie (the screenshot is taken when I was on tab 2): http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/3...ghlightxg9.png Could you help me out with this problem? Thanks in advance. Take care, Bozza |

This has to be one of the HARDEST most COMPLEX installs I have ever done I can't understand it which is a HUUUUGGGGGEE shame because this would be one of the best mods ever if it were easy to install.

I can build the templates fine I have added the tabs fine I got all the tabs there and named the problem is now having the correct forums shown under each tab no offence because this mod is the best and your a great coder no doubt but the install instructions are lacking very much so it would have been easier just to say backup your forum like everyone else coz everyone knows how to do that but all this back and forth of editing index_tabs.php etc etc just over complicates it.
Not ur fault more mine I just have a simple brain lol but now am stuck I have the tabs fine but the forums aren't displaying under any of them :) Rick |
bobster thank you so so much for all your help getting this online out of all the mods I have used and the year and a half I have been apart of the community I have never ever come across a coder who is willing to help and offer support as much as you do :)
Thank you so much *installed & nominated* Rick |

Thank you for your kind words... Enjoy :cool: Bob |
I am trying to install this right now.
I have not quite figured it out yet. I had things showing up under tab 2 once. Then I did something and lost it. So now I just have the first tab showing content. The whole forum of course. I am going to give it another go here in a bit though. Great mod by the way. Anyone that may be able to help me out can hit me up on instant messenger. AIM = OsideRida06 Yahoo = hellafine_guy2780 Hopefully I will not need the help. I am hoping to figure it out. Any help in helping me figure it out though, would be great. |
im having troubles...
i cant figure out how to properly set up the forumhome and index_tab variables, i have the tabs showing but cant put the info in there. http://tv-forums.co.uk/forums its not a live board yet... an import from a phpbb3 forum i plan to use on vB soon |

His problem was that he didn't complete the install instructions. He had 3 tabs, but only 2 content areas.. the number of content areas needs to match the number of tabs... ie.. This is the part where you determine the number of "tabs" In this example, there are 3 Tabs and each tab is associated with a content area ie... rel="tcontent1" Code:
<!-- Tabbed Forum Home Tabs Layout --> This is a sample content area.. I personally start out (and end) each content area with a comment to identify it. You will notice that the first line of code is a Div with the content ID that matches the specific tab. Make sure that there is only one content area for each of your tabs.. Code:
<!-- Tabbed Forum Home ? START Tab 2 Content Layout --> |
I can't believe I hadn't posted in here yet *blush*...
This is awesome Bobster! I am definitely using this on one of my sites... I just gotta figure out which one and exactly for what first hehe... You have gotten me 100% addicted to ajax tabs.. Keep coming up with stuff like this and my whole site will be one big tab! LOL You are awesome... keep up the great work! Always, Bree PS.. I Voted for you: MOTM <-- of course |

Thanks Sunshine :D |
I'm so lost on this one. I was able to create the tab but not sure how to move the whole selected section to second tab or third tab....

This is a great mod and looks very nice. I want to see what kind of effect it has on my forum registrations. If I get positive results I'll return to nominate this mod. :up: |
As you can see I am still now awake to work on this hack. I just could not get it to work properly

bob, thanks much. I sent you pm

Hello bobster65,
Please help me fix my problem, thank you verry much. |
Ok... I got it all installed on my test forum.... for some reason I expected it to be way harder, but of course, am happy that it was not LOL This is going to be so much fun to customize! I had originally planned not to put it at my .com but pretty sure I changed my mind REAL fast once I actually got to play with it =0) Think I am going to surprise everyone with it hehe
Anyways... Get some sleep everyone... grab a cup of coffee (or some other type of liquid motivation) and relax... One step at a time and the tutorial really is easier than first expected. Have fun! Always, Bree |
I take back what I said about waiting to see what effect this modification will have on my sign ups. This mod is absolutely gold. After I realised I can control exactly what forums appear in which tabs, and that sub-forum links need not be shown in forums displayed under tabs of my choice, the deal was sealed for me.
Thanks for this bobster, really brilliant. /nominates |
Bob,
excellent work, thankyou so much. I installed without any problems, it was a piece of cake. Question: is there any way to create an extra tab with the "what's going on" box, instead of having it appear under every tab? Again, thankyou for a great hack. :) |

Yes, you can create extra tabs with info in them other than just Forum categories. All you need to do is put the info in what I call a content div area just like you did with the other tabs .. Here is an example of putting the Whats going on box into a tab .. Note the RED IDs .. those are what link the tab to the div content .. First you need to create an li tag for your new extra tab (I added a 4th tab in this example called Whats Going On and its ID=tcontent4 Code:
<!-- Tabbed Forum Home Tabs Layout --> Then you need to create the Content Container and make sure that it has the same ID as the li tag you just added .. Code:
<!-- Tabbed Forum Home – START whats going on box Tab Content Layout --> NOTE: Make sure that when you add extra tabs that they go BEFORE the below block of code.. You can always move this chunk of code lower in the template, just make sure that any content area Divs that you add go before it .. (Hope that made sense) Code:
<!-- Tabbed Forums switch tab script --> |
Love this mod!
