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.

This is really just what I was looking for, shame the author no longer supports the mod.

I'm not sure if anyone might know the answer, but wondering if this is possible.

I've added an additional tab for User CP (really should be a vB default IMO).
Under this, I've added sub-menu for profile, avatar, signature and settings.

Now if I click my "User CP" tab, it takes me to the right place, tab highlights, all works well. But if I click one of the sub-menu, it takes me to the right place, but reverts back to highlighting the forum tab with it's sub-menu.

I would really like it to keep the "User CP" tab and sub-menu displayed. The way it is ... it seems like it will dis-orientate the user.

Any help/advice or even if someone knows it can't be done would be awesome.

I successfully uploaded this Mod, and it shows up in my Installed Products page. But for some reason it doesn't show up on the left hand side of the ACP with all the options. I do however, have the global setup for the mod in the Options Menu.

Can anyone tell me what I did wrong, and how to correct it?

Thank you

We just installed this addon. How would we load a page outside of the forum, but still under that same header?

Thanks

Just downloaded version 2.0.5 to update the 2.0.3 version I had installed. After uploading the newer version it STILL shows up in the Product Manager as the 2.0.3 version. I then opened up the "evbs_sstab_advanced" XML product file and it clearly shows it as a 2.0.3 version.

Where is the correct "evbs_sstab_advanced" XML product file download for 2.0.5 at?

Im a total newbie, but I'll offer up any help I can.

Did you make sure to tick the "Allow Overwrite" option?

Probably did, just thought I would take a shot.

Can anyone offer up some helpful hints on this problem? It also brought up all Spanish added tabs for member list etc.

I did not download the Spanish version

Hopefully it will have soon the function for popuplinks to add a dropdown menu to them.

To make this work with Photopost is a very simple fix. Go into your admincp, go to Plugins & Products, then click Plugin Manager. Find and edit the plugin Insertando Tabs.

There's 2 IF statements that need to be modified. They are both the same so do this twice.

FIND:

if (in_array(THIS_SCRIPT,$scriptactivo))

REPLACE WITH:

if (in_array(THIS_SCRIPT,$scriptactivo) || in_array(PP_SCRIPT,$scriptactivo))

Remember you have to do that twice to replace both IF statements.
Then save the plugin.

Now you can simply configure your tab to use THIS_SCRIPT and set the THIS_SCRIPT value to PP_Pro.

Enjoy
