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

It's not a style file, you need to import it in the products area.

Great Mod!

But is there a solution yet for this problem:

"Dropdowns are buggy in IE. The dropdowns are the width of the page. Any fix for this?"

Thanks!!!

[ArchAngelz]

I'm getting the same bug as well; wonder if it will/can be fixed.

Really need this fixed:

Dropdowns in Internet Explorer are as wide as the page !!!

Works fine in Mozilla ... but because so many people still use IE ... this really needs to get resolved as it looks quite unprofessional.

If this cannot be fixed, does anyone have any good alternatives for me (similar to this one) ...?

Thanks!!!

I tried PMing the author to see if he is still around, but there was no response. I know it's only been a month since the last update, but I really need some advice about how this plug-in works.

As far as I can tell, this is the ONLY plug-in that manages to remove menu buttons without breaking the sub-navbar, something I have been trying to figure out how to do for a while. If anyone else out there understands the coding in this plug-in and could help me duplicate it (or is willing to make a separate plug-in that lets you do the same thing to new buttons, like the DownloadsII button) please PM me.

Checking the Problem

________________

I test the DROP DOWN menu with vbb 4.0.3 Patch Level 1 on Internet Explorer and not have any error

Please, send me your URL with MP to check

[vilhiem]

Thanks Jhonnyf for looking into this.

Here's a screenshot from my website that shows the problem in IE. Again, doesn't happen in Mozilla.

I see fine with IE8

Maybe You are using a Old version of IE

IE 7 and 8 are more common, IE 6 it's very, very old
