Minitabbars 3.7 *** Tabs & Dropdown menus

What this mod does is allows admins to add custom tabbars to Forumhome,,,Gallery or CMPS navbar templates... With customization you can also add it to other areas of your site...

ATTENTION:
*********
Before installing or updating,,, download and read tutorial...

Primary setup consists of uploading minitabs images folder to your forum images folder...

FIXED CMPS with better dropdown options

If you want to add to your CMPS,,, You must upload minitabs images folder to your domain root...
http://yoursite.com/images/minitabbar/
Goto CMPS and open main options / global varible...>>> Add $var $minitabbar1 or minitabbar1 so that it will show on frontpage...save...

If you want to add to your Gallery,,, You must upload minitabs images folder to your gallery root...
http://yoursite.com/gallery/images/minitabs/

If you want to add to your Forum,,, You must upload minitabs images folder to your Forum root...
http://yoursite.com/forums/images/minitabs/

************************************************** ***********

Step {2}

Goto Admincp and open products and install xml plugin with admin options on/off...

Goto vbsettings at top of admincp and find Minitabs and open...

View options and setup URL's
View options and setup Tooltip text
View options and setup Name of each tabbar
View options and setup CSS color of text
View options and setup Color type of tabbar from over 30 colors
View options and setup Font family type
View options and setup Font size
View options and setup Hover color link text
View options and setup No hover color link text

************************************************** ***********

Step {3}

Goto vbsettings at top of admincp and find Minitabbars and open...

Setup correct path so that your images will show correctly...

images/minitabs/spacer.gif = http://yoursite.com/forums/images/minitabs/spacer.gif

Place main images folder {{{ minitabs }}} = http://yoursite.com/forums/images/minitabs/

Place main images folder {{{ minitabs }}} = http://forums/images/minitabs/yoursite.com/

Second option may need customization to xml...

************************************************** ***********

Step {4}

Popups? This mod uses the default vbulletin dropdown menu...
Some of my other mods don't work well with vbulletin default dropdown menus... other type {Chrome}?

Adding popups code to text window...
******************************

UPDATED Dropdowns to work on all TEN minitabbars
added the ability to turn on/off all eight dropdowns...
added the ability to control register and ID names on all TEN dropdowns...

HTML Code:

Thanks, very nice ;)

Sweet trying it out now

thank you so much, very sweet!

Interesting concept. Downloaded, and will be testing tomorrow.

Here are som nice tabs for you all :)

thanks! Hopefully, this will look good on my site! :D

can it work on 3.6.8

Hi,

Works brilliant, even on 3.6.8, with one exeption, can't get it to work on my VBA portal page. What am I doing wrong?

Never mind, I forgot to add minitabbar1 to the VBA "Output Global Variables" :o, problem solved!!!

So, this Mod works just fine, also on 3.6.8

I wont be using this for my boards mainly becuase I not a big fan of all the colors but think this is a really nice mod.

love the concept... but style doesn't match my board.

is it easy to make/apply different tab styles? I'm all over if so. :)

tmiland thanks for the tab images,,, I will put them in the next tab pack for tab menus...

Releasing a Inverted tabbar sets at the end of the week...

By the way U can use only same COLOR or RAINBOW for all minitabbars

Edit CSS files in clientsript so that TEXT color and size change...

Thanks 2 ALL Thanks;)

I can work on a slue of tabs for you, but is it possible to have the product take the style of the tabs from the skin, like vB does with its user profile tabs?

nice hack but unfortunately the tabs simply won't fit any style. a better control over the tabs colour would make this far better

Are there any limits to how many tabs you can have??

Install was easy on our test forum but I couldn't get any of your colors to go with our forum. If you add some straight forward one I can use it.

I must say I like it! I'm still trying to use it!

This works with any Tabs sets,,, just upload your CSS files to clientscript folder and your images to the minitabbars folder and insert your code into options textarea and save...

************************************************** ***

Several big sites are using other tab set like http://www.satelliteguys.us and others...

therogueforums that would B nice 2 have other sets 2 choice from,,, give it a go...

************************************************** ***

Ddad give me your site link and I will try 2 match colors 4 you...

************************************************** ***

Folks this mod isn't perfect,,, its only a minor update from my 3.6 version,,, but it does help managing your TAB SETS much easier...

You can turn them on or off
You add your own SETs if you like
Change font, link colors and size of text
U can also use vbulletin default CSS * makes tabbars expand
It will fit most styles with right setup

I will B releasing Inverted Tabbars update soon...:)

This blue it's a vB color. The test site is password.

Hi,

I was lucky one of the styles matched my forums style. I'm very happy with this mod :up:.

Can we have pulldown menues on all tabs?
The tabs don't show in vbadvanced CMPS
In photopost, you can see the tab names, but not the tabs

It's a nice mod and life would be much easier with using this, instead of doing it by hand.
Thanks for all the work done. :)

looks good on forum home but small problem,, in vbadvanced index page the tabs become microscopicly crunched togther.

**************************************************

peterle1,,,
Yes ,,, all tabs can show vbulletin default pulldowns,,, but U will have to modify your the dropdown code... I will update this so that all will have a easier time installing and making changes...

In vbadvanced they will show,,, but you will have to use global option var in CMPS options and then next upload another set of images to the MAIN root of your domain... >>> http://yoursite.com instead of http://yoursite.com/forums/...

Same with your Gallery,,, U will have to upload a set of images to that MAIN root of your gallery,,, the same as adding a style 2 your gallery...

**************************************************

xlegends,,,
I have been working on other stuff and stopped testing this one,,, but if you uploaded all images including the spacer file,,, then it should work fine,,, but it could be something else...

Check that you loaded the global option in CMPS???

**************************************************

I will do another update with better error checking and post more details on how to fix if problems with CMPS,,, Gallery or Forums...

Thanks for the quick answer.
could you give me a little hint, where to put the code, to have 7 tabs with pulldown menues and not to show the 8th tab.
Thanks again for your help. :o
