I want to add a static page as a tab and include additional pages/articles underneath it. When I try this the tab doesn't stay selected when I click the static page or any pages in the subnav.

For example, say I create an "about" tab that takes me to a static page, with two additional articles in the subnav. Whenver I click about it shows the about page but highlights the Home tab.

Edit: okay, this problem only happens when I attempt to add "tab sub links." ?

One question... I made a tab to link to a forum, so it highlights the "Forums" tab when you go there. Any way to get it to highlight the tab for the forum you are in?

i.e. I am linking to forumid 54, but can't find a way to make my new tab highlight when you are in forumid 54. My setup is tab mode - URL and THIS_Script is blank.

Thanks!!

I have a similar problem, overall the tabs are working great! But when I select my new tab, my home page tab is highlighted instead of the new tab. My settings are also URL and THIS_SCRIPT is blank. Any way to fix it?

Is there a way I can have a menu item that is click-able, but ALSO have sub-menus for that menu?

[Dzi13]

I don't see config page after clicking Config in menu

I'm wondering this as well.

Also with submenu items highlighting the main menu item.

This should be default in vbulletin. :/

[zushiba]

Will these ever work again?
I cannot get them to change depending on what tab you're currently on. Also tab highlighting is still broken.

If this mod is no longer being developed is there an alternative?

EDIT: Don't work on my custom template or the default template or any other template I've tried. Using version 4.1.1.

not working with Bluepearl Skin and hoovereffect by drop down tabs

Tabs ohne drop down funktionieren ja.

Then it is fair to say it doesn't work with that skin, but not 4.1.2.
It works fine with 4.1.2 (just not some skins)


On another note what does this mean..?

How Many colums should be show the membergroups list
Option 1, 2, or 3.

I changed it to try all of them & i dont see any changes anywhere.!?
I tried & checked Showgroups, Memberlist, but nothing. (not sure why this mod would want to effect either of those, but i dont get what that option is for)

I'm running vB 4.1.3 with vBSEO 3.6.0

I want to make a new "Forum" tab that leads directly to one of my subforums and not forumhome.

I hid the original forum tab in config, and created a new tab with the plugin:

Tab Label: Forum
Varname of the phrase: (left empty)
Is tab a menu?: No
URL: http://mindfulnessweb.net/mindfulness-forum/
Imagen path: (left empty)
Tab mode: URL PARAMETER
This script value: (left empty)
Target: _self
Groups allowed to see tab: All
Groups NOT allowed to see tab: None
Tab is active: Yes
Position: center
Display order: 0

The new tab works as it should, with the exception that it does not stay highlighted. What will I need to do to keep it highlighted after selected?

Thanks.

Play with this..

Tab mode: URL PARAMETER
