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

Review:
This mod allows you to easily add and remove tabs on the navigation bar using the adminCP. Tabs can appear as "selected" after being clicked, automatically deselecting the other tabs.
You also have the option of indicating which groups are allowed and not allowed to see the tabs via usergroup id.
Tabs may operate as normal select tabs, as drop-down menus. or as links to external sites.

The Hack only use 1 SQL sentence to create All the Menu, no Template edition

Installed this on 4.0.0
Its working fine, but I set the "What's new?" tab to hide, but it is still displayed.

[six58]

can anyone tell me how to get the plugin options to appear in admincp? in the left hand menu.

i have ftp'ed the relevant files to root of forum.
i have imported successfully and the product shows in my product list. and i have a listing for it in admincp options to turn the tabs on/off etc but nothing in the side menu to tweak it.

downloaded ver 2.0.5 and using 4.1.9

edit: nevermind figured it out thanks to post #855 of this thread.
i had ftp'ed to myforumroot/upload/includes/filename etc instead of myforumname/includes/filename etc

Hey dev, I love your mod but I have 2 issues I would love to be added:

- When you click on a tab, it has an indent (like the default forum/home tabs)
- Have a drop down, that only requies the mouse to hover. That way the parent tab can also be clicked on.

Let me know if you plan to do this. Keep up the good work!

I use a highly modified version of this mod, but ran into the same problem. After an hour of digging, wound up adding these lines to additional.css:

/* Selected Tab Fix */
.navtabs li.selected ul.popupbody a {
	line-height:26px;
	font-family: Tahoma,Calibri,Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;
}
/* /Selected Tab Fix */

I have a modified style so your mileage may vary.

Anyone know of a way to change the colour of the highlighting in drop down menu?

I've been told by my style author that the colour is hard coded into the mod. With my style the highlighting in white make it difficult to read. See attached sreenshot.
