ok guys.

First: Anyone with a linux box, in the js file remove the "/" before clientscript in the source for the css and the loading gif. That will allow those to load.

Second: anybody noticing these display different by default on IE and firefox, It's because the line is added as a class to a break (<br>) instead of a div. Change to a div and all should be well.

I've installed the tabbing. And it looks nice: http://www.mygreatphone.com/forum

Only comments would be:

a) I'd really like it if i could add individual forums to a tab and not just categories.

b) A simple bit of code to show all cats (for my everything tab, instead of having to add everything)

c) The forums no longer show how many are viewing each forum, that would be a really welcome thing to have back, and may even be a deal breaker to whether i use this in the long term.

d)Would be great if it would degrade gracefully, so if no JS or ajax, that it loads the default or other non tabbed style.

Anyway, good for a work-print add-on, but a bit to go before it's perfect (ie. features not working like number viewing and lack of degradation.)

We agree with you, however, there is currently no checking to see if JS is disabled. This is something that is being looked into for the future versions. We are aware of it and it is in our plans.


Thank you for the constructive feedback.. much appreciated..

a) This will be possible with the new version (the final release, not the beta). You will be able to use the recent threads module with the beta to pull this off in the mean time.

b) This is an ACP Option with version 2 as well as user group permissions for each tab.

c) This is "fixed" in version 2 as well as Mark Forums Read.

d) as addressed above, this is something that has been in our plans and is being currently looked into as a high priority.

Well in that case well done you.

Good on you for wanting to mature the product. If you carry on like this it's going to be really popular.

Look forward to the updates.

WOO HOO! :D

Can't wait for 2.0....I've got my finger on the clicker and I'm ready to install! :)

This is a great mod and it is exact what I've been looking for, but it has one fatal flaw...

Its usability is horrible, yes I'm aware you need a fair amount of knowledge to operate it, which I have no problems with, but still the amount of hoops I need to jump through just to make it look different is ridiculous :(

I've been trying to make it look like the Member Tabs on the vBStyles GreenFox skin, but with no luck.
If anyone would like to edit it themselves and post a new CSS up here I would love you ;)

I'm not a CSS guy, but 2.0 is much easier to set up - as almost no HTML / PHP knowledge is required because it now has an ACP back end. And YUI Tab View may have a simpler CSS - but I know we've cleaned it up for our specific release.

Great because I couldnt get my css looking nice, so i'll just wait for version 2.
Thanks.

Sorry if we're not a super cool Mod like yourself *Bows* - But we can't use 2.0 yet :(
So until 2.0 gets out, I guess I'll just have to sit quietly in the corner.

KK being a MOD has nothing to do with it... he is one of my co-developers, that is why he responds to peoples inqueries..

Version 2 uses the YUI Tab View Component which uses the default Tab View CSS (same one that default vB bases the Profiles off of) the CSS Skin file is all commented, so it is super easy to edit for non CSS Guru's, but built so that Advanced users can also take advantage to customize beyond the basics if they so choose to.

We are just finishing up with the Install Doc. Beta 2.0 will be released by this weekend.

I didn't mean it that way, I would have just said we aren't as lucky, but because he was Mod, I decided to pick on that :)
To any other member, I have just said "None of us are as lucky as you" or something.

Sounds great so far though, keep it up, I can't wait for 2.0 ;)
