[YUI] Tabbed Forum Home

1 Attachment(s)

[YUI] Tabbed Forum Home (TFH) version 4.0.8
vBulletin version: 4.1.11 - 4.2.0
Older versions need original mod for now

Description:
This MOD is for creating a "Tabbed" Forum Home Page to have Categories and other Data types (via Modules) displayed within Tab containers. Please do not confuse this with the Tab Menu System here at vbulletin.org. They are totally different systems. These Tabs actually switch the content via AJAX without leaving the main forums page.

This is an entirely new version of TFH and only works with vB4. Management is all done via the Admin CP.

Installation is done in 3 simple steps. Upload files, Import product, 3 easy Template Edits.

Setup is now a breeze via the Tabs option in the Admin CP.

The attached Zip File contains the Files and Instructions necessary to install.

Incompatible mods
Two columns of categories - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=275114

Upgrading to 4.0.7+ from previous versions
We have had to change the mod's id which means when you install this time you will have 2 mods, the new version with its new id and the old version.
Both can run side by side but shouldnt to save processing time.

To migrate:
Install the latest version and upload all the files (no conflicts to worry about)
Install the latest product xml
Follow the template changes in the upgrade txt
Create your tabs in the new admincp menu option "EG: Tabbed Forum Home" to mirror the existing "Tabbed Forum Home" menu.
Once done uninstall the product "Tabbed Forum Home" with productid bobster_tfh (old mod id)

Basically, all the Setup and Management is done via the backend. Also, it now includes Modules for other data types like Blogs, Albums, PTs etc...

you have default vB4 MAIN code, so all you need to do is replace the FORMHOME Template Main code with the MAIN Code that I included. then leave the FORUMHOMETAB Template alone.

tafreeh

01-14-2010 10:46 PM

yea.. i was just thinking about those two kicked out template hooks.. maybe i m gonna need them for some other hack...
btw...

Tab Container :confused::confused::confused:

Tab Container :confused::confused::confused:

The hooks are still there, they are placed OUTSIDE of the Tab Container tho, meaning that when you switch tabs, it doesn't effect the hooks. You CAN however move them INSIDE the Tab Container if you wish. Thats all I was saying..

Shouldn't, its fully search engine unobtrusive. I've had no issues with it and I've been running it for a few years now (The YUI Version)

Installed. Not sure how it will go over with my board. We've done a good job in the past of not having a lot of forums so it didn't clutter up the place. This will give us more flexibility there, but right now it just makes it look bare. lol

Install and working perfectly.
Also like to report that this does not conflict with Sorky's sub-forum manager either.:)

This is GREAT.

Thanks,

Is there any way for this to apply forum permissions as well?

Like I have several hidden forums, but restricted to different usergroups, but I want to put them all in one tab.

sinucello

01-15-2010 06:21 AM

Hi,

sounds great. One question as I don`t have installed 4.1 yet: will the active tab be remembered if you leave the forum home and return to it e. g. with the back button of the browser?

all the best,
Sacha

I installed this, but when it was done and I created my first tab, my forum homepage only showed the tab in the closed position. You have to click on the tab to open it up. I'd like it so that first tab is opened by default. I can't use it in it's current state.

01-15-2010 10:41 AM

thanks! atlast my long forum is gone :))

any suggestion on how i can make the "li" to "div"? just like the previous version?

will there be a version that works in the CMS to?

ManagerJosh

01-15-2010 10:51 AM

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooo found a small bug. Appears that when you have the forum sidebar suppressed, it doesn't reformat the forumhome layout and keeps it crunched up like the forumbar is being displayed even though it has been suppressed.

Does this hack need much ressources? How many queries does it produce for example?

Is there any SEO disadvantage?

01-15-2010 12:45 PM

Installed in my test forum to test it. Wonderful job!

Adam H

01-15-2010 01:05 PM

I figured it out of the 3.8 version but what part do we edit to make the tabs actually sit on top of the forums instead of having a gap between them ?

I can see it will be either the tabview.css or the skin-tfh.css but cant see what part does it ?

silverfox_uw

01-15-2010 03:10 PM

works like a treat, but i have found another bug.

if you set a tab up for s specific usergroup, it only shows the tab to the primary users of that tab and not the additional users to that group

Merjawy

01-15-2010 04:30 PM

I am not seeing anything

new installed on test site with default style nothing added

There is an error message on stats bar with the second edit of FORUMHOME (! Error on page)

I see the different tabs but no forums showing at all, not even with the built in All Forums tab

I only have 1 hiden and 1 visible categories/forums (the default install)

I double checked all the template edit

ManagerJosh

01-15-2010 09:22 PM

Did you remember to set the default tab? It works here quite well.

All times are GMT. The time now is 02:55 AM.
