Any news on further development of this yet?

Would be nice to be able to have the tabs at the top below navbar or above shoutboxes etc.

Nope, the person that was interested in taking over the vb4 version of this hasn't got back to me.

As far as relocating the tabs, that is something that can be done with a few edits.

I am back, a few RL issues forced me to slow down my dev work and things in general but thats all solved now.
I have a few things planned but if you list off what features/options you would like I will look to integrating them too.

The only thing stopping me using this is that it is SEO unfriendly.

If this could be fixed that would be fantastic.

Thanks.

Do you submit sitemaps? if so it then makes no difference to your SEO as your content is still *out there*
I have used this addon since we went vb4 and my site has grown and grown and I have seen no SEO hit.
Think about your forum home, other then the right column showing last post date/thread it has no real dynamic content that search engines would care about.
Sitemaps ensures you content is indexed properly not the forum home as such.
Remember as well that if we were to say dump the tabs content into the page as hidden div's the page would be slower to load which google cares about now.

I am working on a fix right now, simply put the collapse code vbulletin has scans the page for certian tags and applies the collapse's and tags the onclick event to found links. Because the tabs are loaded after the page is loaded (aka dynamic) the script that does this tagging has already run and does not rerun.

For now I would remove the tab code for now. Remove the following from forumhpme_forumbit_level1_nopost THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN FIXED AND A FIXED VERSION WILL BE COMING SOON
That will remove the button.

Regarding Santori's implementation, its not a tweaked version of this mod, his code loads the tab content along with the page as hidden div tags which means the vbulletin code can *tag* the collapse onclick to the divs. This also makes the pages a larger and I dont think the tabs live update themselves either unlike this mod. This is a lot like the vb3 version of a similar mod and not dynamic tab content.

Regarding vBSEO, I have vbSEO here and it all plays well.

Regarding SEO in general, like I said in the last post, if you are feeding google etc sitemaps there should be no real seo hit as your forum home page is not going to be affected in rankings tbh. In a way because the page size is smaller for forumhome you could actually benefit. Most of your google traffic will probably be *long tail* aka to specific threads rather then to your forumhome, having had a site using this for ages now its not had any negative effect I can see.

I have fixed the collapse issue. I am just getting the fix ready for you all but it works now.
NOTE: the fix is on a test version of my site not the live build yet but I do have the collapse issue resolved it appears, just testing browsers right now.

I would love to see the jquery version.

nice add-on! thanks for creating it..

Are these available for use would be appreciated if they was :)
