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

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.

I just installed it and yes it is supported with 4.2.1 as far as I know.

How can I add this to my mobile style as well?

Is there any way to hide "What's New?" tab only from guests?

[Ianmac44]

Can anyone help please? My menu option to set/amend tab settings in the Admin CP sidebar has 'disappeared' Don't know when this happened as I normally only change the 'link' on one of my TABS annually. The TABS as set on my forum are working normally but I can't add a new TAB or change the settings on existing ones. I am on VB 4.1.5

Now resolved by reloading mod

I've been using this mod without problem for more than a year. It is version 2.0.3. I have just installed vb suite 4.2.2 with Navigation manager.
Now I can't get this mod to do it's thing again.
The menu items I am seeing are the ones associated with the Navigation Manager of 4.2.2.

Even when I make them all active I cannot get my sstab advanced to work. It is enabled and active.
Does anyone know how to disable Navigation Manager so I can get this mod to work again?
Thanks!

[ozzy47]

You do not need this mod with 4.2.2, it is not compatible.

[tweeker]

I looked at Navigation Manager and it does not have the dropdown from the Tabs which is what this mod supplies quite nicely.

I really want drop down from the main tabs not from menu items underneath tabs.
Does anyone know a mod that works with Navigation manager that will do this?

Thanks

[ozzy47]

You can add dropdown tabs with the Navigation Manager.

It is a small process but not to difficult.

1) Create a tab.
2) Create a menu for the tab.
3) Edit the tab and find the setting, "Target Menu" select the menu you just created, click on save.
4) Add links to the menu you created, these are what will show up as the dropdown items in the tab.

Thank you. I will try this tomorrow.
