Forum Display Enhancements - Tabs Add System for vBulletin 4 (sstab advanced)

Can this mod be used to create a double navbar? If not does anyone have a link to a suitable mod? Thanks

use the "URL_Paramater" option. This checks the unchanged portion of the url and keeps the button "clicked" while you are on the same url page.

This works for me in 4.1.2. :dunno: I had no problem at all using it.

and as soon as you use that the sub menu disappears. :erm:

i'm still looking for help on the sub menu if anyone knows how to fix this. i want to stop the navbar defaulting back to the Forum Tab when clicking on a sub menu

[tyreco]

i hope iam right here to announce
vbul suite 4.1.2

picture tab1. pls see tab "vbSoporte" which was not changed. With mouseover colour changes to the same like tab "Forum".



picture tab2. Tab "Lideres" was changed to "This Tab is a Menue > yes" at the moment mouseover the word "Lideres" change to white colour.



So it seems in case of a Tab is a Menu the background colour in case of mouseover is ignored.

But excellent hack!

Any solution?

I installed it and was also having problems with HOME being highlighted and my new tab only highlighting when I hovered over it, this happened after selecting my new tab and it taking me to that page, it would not stay highlighted...

I went back in admin cp to edit the tab, I selected the TAB MODE to URL PARAMETER and that fixed the issue.

hope this helps someone

[Lpspider]

Installed and having problems. Added tabs won't highlight, defaults to home. Suggestions? I've tried all available options. The only thing that works is the drop-down menu, but I'd rather have it list the submenu.

Edit: fixed it with this_script, it wouldn't work with url or url_PARAMETER...
