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

Delete these files from root folder

admincp\evbs_sstabs.php

includes\xml\cpnav_evbs_sstab.xml

It works but my pages dont appear selected.

[dieKetzer]

the home tab needs to have this_script set to adv_index.

[dieKetzer]

you have to select either this_script, url. or url_parameter if you want the tab to select.

GREAT MOD!

find this_script for the gallery hack and use that if possible

[dieKetzer]

a tab cannot select if you have not set this_script/url/url_parameter.
