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

500 installs? that will take months.

you also need to add the ability to add drops downs to the tab.



The "admin tools" came from MARCO1 Quick Admin Tools mod in this forum.

I'd rather have no "sub nav" links, and simply the drop downs. Eliminates the need for a sub nav bar.

And, if you can add drop downs, then even drop downs within dropdowns. Sections within sections. So complex menu's can be made.

that too. We need a full tab/nav bar manager, so we can choose what's going to be where. Not vB choosing for us.

[Jhonnyf]

Taken note for the next version (ok,ok, not 500 Installs)
* TABS with Drop menu (post #14)
* Sub link for new Tabs (delete all and create the news for the Tab)(post #3 and #14)

Somethings else?

[LoveStream]

Excellent idea Man

How about you add new Navbar menu with option underneath your NabTab?

Thanks.

[ascott]

Excellent, just what I was looking for, thank you.
