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.

I have added two tabs but they are not being highlighted, the highlighting stays on Forum. As the two added tabs are working correctly and are both sub forums with the Forum section is this normal behaviour.

Also if I try to disable the Forum tab with this mod it is still visible. I would like to disable Forum and add a new tab called Forum Categories to make it easier for my members to understand.

Another issue....

I tried to un-install this product using the Products Un-install option.

It seems to un-install but still leaves some garbled text in the ACP menu.

How do I un-install this product correctly.

[sapgaurav]

i have added this mod and i found the tab cpnfig option in Admicn CP > Settings

but i can not find this option "Tabs vbSoporte" in menu options

i am using (vBulletin 4.1.3 Patch Level 1)

Kindly help me where i can find in menu to add new tabs

[Trevor Matthews]

After reading through 30 of the pages in this thread I am still non the wiser.

All I want to do is add two tabs called Discussions & Repair Tips. Both are forums.
They work but will not highlight.
I see lots of THIS_SCRIPT being talked about but how do I find the right names to put in the boxes for these two forum names.

Why is there not a simple guide to explain how to do this?

Surely that is what most of us need. And why this isn't a standard vb feature is beyond belief.

[Trevor Matthews]

I tried various suggestions using php that is there like admincp.php.

None of the things I tried allowed the tab to be highlighted.

Un-installed until someone can explain more.

[Trevor Matthews]

In desperation I re-installed.

I did the following.

Viewed the source code of the forum page I wanted the tab to take me to.

I called the tab Discussions
I entered the url as forumdisplay.php?f=4 as this was in the source code of the forum page.
I selected THIS_SCRIPT
I entered forumdisplay as the THIS_SCRIPT value.
I selected Target as _self

This new tab takes me to the correct page and is now highlighted......

BUT

When I now click on Forum and then click on any of the sub forums the Discussions tab is highlighted when the highlighting should stay on Forum.

So I am very close but no cigar.

Can anyone help with the solution please?

[gyancentral]

Maybe I am not understanding how to set this up.
I am trying to set up a Gallery tab that also has Sub Tab Links.
After I have set this all up and click on the Gallery Tab it goes to my gallery but my Forum tab is the one that is highlighted and the Sub Tab Links display for my default forum.

How do I do this so that the Gallery Tab is highlighted and it displays my Gallery Sub Tab Links?
