Looks interesting! Does it require a complete navbar replacement?

No it uses the existing navbar to add the tabs to.

Chris

While I don't wish to be rude, but is this a copy of:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=233629 ?

There are VERY similar names & menu's in his and yours, with example:

- SSTab Advanced's Example 1
- vBNavTabs Example 1

---

- SSTab Advanced's Example 2
- vBNavTabs Example 2

---

- SSTab Advanced's Example 3
- vBNavTabs Example 3

I'm sorry, but so many menu & text are almost exactly the same. Which makes me believe you merely copied it and added new functions.

There is a few navbar mods with similar names & menu's but I believe you will find dbtech code different and excellent. :)

FF|Skyrider, that is not the case, I spent alot of time looking over every tab mod posted here on .org, and ever article written by the members on adding tabs to the site. Same thing Mr. Running pointed out. So I suppose because another coder use the term "Parent Tab" I am not allowed to use it?

While names and menues may look similar, I can assure you this is not that mod's code.

I spent many, many hours working on this modification, trying to make everythng work, and I am set back by you saying it is a copy. Quite a bit of the code used was pulled from other DBT mods, and changed up to work for this mod.

I can say I did use some layout looks from other mods, but that's it. The coding was written out, not copied from someone elses mod.

Chris

I'm not accusing you of anything though :). Just found it weird the menu's, text, etc were very similar.

I know, it's cool, I can understand where you are coming from, but their is only so much you can do with a modification that uses vb coding standards to inject into the navbar.

I do appreciate you taking the time to point out your feelings, and I am happy that you are not accusing me of anything.

The more this mod is developed, the menus may change, depending on what functionality is added to the product.

Chris

thank you dragon byte tech.

did you test it with other custom themes?

Does this mod allow second level dropdowns? Doesn't seem like it from the description, but that's something people have been looking for. I know I would pay for such a mod.

I did test it with a few custom themes, as long as the style coded the navbar to vb standards it should work.

Not at this time, it is something that will be looked into for a future version.

Chris

This looks like the tab mod we've been searching for for a long time. Will be nice being able to switch the tabs we've had to hack into the menu into this. First addon I think we'll be instaling once we've finished testing our vB4.1.8 upgrade.

Is the second navbar feature something meant to be in the Lite version? I notice that it's referred to in the admin panel options, but there's no instructions for it in the readme as it says there should be.

The second navbar is a Pro only feature.

I know Hi-Velocity might be a sponsor or an affiliate for you, but isn't this a bit much advertising your company and then advertising a hosting company on top of it too?

Dragonbyte makes great mods, but all the copyrights on the footers are just killers.

Their is a option in the General Settings to remove the HiVelocity from the footer.

Chris

Just what I have been waiting for..marked as installed..Thanks.

Would def buy the pro version if you could introduce a second level sub menu in it. None the less great job!

vBNavTabs v1.0.2 Released!

A quick product update to solve a issue.

Fixed: A issue with tabs only showing one sub-link if their was more than one added.
Fixed: A issue with dropdown tabs only showing one dropdown item if their was more than one added.

To solve the issue:

Please download v1.0.2 and upload the files to your server, and re import the xml.

Then you need to go to the Manage Dropdowns and the Manage Sub-links pages and just click on Save changes and everything should show up as intended. (if you have any added)

Chris

Does the pro version remove the footer copyright?

No the branding free is a separate addon to the product it's self.

Chris

hey I am having some issues with the dropdowns. I got it linking to two different dropdown choices, but it does not show the second option. Why is this? how can I fix it?

Sounds like you are running v1.0.1 follow the instructions in post #18

Chris

I already have the one you have on front page installed. Everything works perfect except it does not drop down a second time. I am using the regular vb theme as well.

www.myth-scape.com/forums

^ that is my forums you can see there where it does not drop down. I will post a couple of pictures in a minute or so of my current admin cp with the settings set

EDIT: um ...it must not save to the cache or whatever correctly.Because now it won't let me set the dropdowns I made to that tab ( it doesn't even show the tab...) It shows the tab on the home page but doesn't allow me to make a dropdown for that tab.

lol I am going to disable it for now until we can get the fixed I think there is another nav mod somewhere on here that is compatible.

If you could pm me a admin account, and ftp info I could try to get it sorted, this is the first I have come across this since 1.0.2 has been released.

Chris

I fixed it :) I just reinstalled the entire product (for a third time lol ) third times a charm I guess.

Glad it is sorted, and thanks for being persistent with it, I still don't have a explanation as to why you experienced that issue, but hopefully it was just a fluke.

Chris

Is there an option to remove all branding links if i buy pro version of this mod?

You can purchase branding free for the lite or pro versions from the DBT website
Chris

is it possible to add a popup link? (link to open chatbrowser)

Target _blank

Not a popup per say, but you could open a new page than the page you are on.

Chris

Updated files to solve some issues, re download and upload the files to your server, no need to re import the xml.

Chris

possible we have some problem with vb 4.1.9 version?

Not that I am aware of, I tested the lite version on 4.1.9 and it is working as intended.

What issues are you having?

Chris

I really like the products you provide but I always go elsewhere for the same product because of the following:

This mod displays a copyright notification in the footer of pages generated by this mod which includes:
1 Link to DragonByte Technologies homepage
1 Link to Product Description page of this modification
1 Link to Hivelocity Hosting

The links to DragonByte Tech and the Product Description link are all on one line.

The Hivelocity branding is removable with a setting in the acp.

You can always purchase the branding free, even for the lite versions of the mods.
