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

padding-top: 8px;
}


should be:

.popupbody li > a,
.popupbody li > label {
padding-bottom: 0;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-top: 0;
}


and is defined in additional.css

.popupbody li > a,
.popupbody li > label {
padding:{vb:math {vb:stylevar padding}-2} {vb:stylevar padding};
}

So where could I edit "stylevar padding" ?
It's not in the Style Variable Editor / popupmenu_padding because there I have 2, 0, 0, 0

Btw: the navbar (not navtab) dropdown menus are ok (0,10,10,0).

I don't have any of that. lol (i guess my style/skin changed it. )

Not Found

The requested URL /admincp/evbs_sstabs.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

what to do ?

[Gamelobby]

Did you upload everything to the server.?
Looks to me like either you didn't or did to the wrong folder. (should be forum root)

This seems to be missing..

/Forum/admincp/evbs_sstabs.php

Great Mod! Works Great!

Is tabs being selected working for anyone ?

[Gamelobby]

*edit*

[Gamelobby]

Any idea how to fix this extra gap..?

[ceho]

I get everything to work as I want to (4.1.9 and 4.1.10) but there is one thing that I simply don't get to work: the tabs that are a dropdown menu simply don't highlight on mouse over and don't remain highlighted when in the according sections. Simple tabs with a URL or URL+parameter work well, mouseover and highlighted as supposed.

Could anybody please tell me the settings I have to use to make that work? Because regarding the plugin this should work, shouldn't it? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
