Forum Display Enhancements - Tabs Add System for vBulletin 4 (sstab advanced)

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 just installed this plugin on 4.0.3 and I don't have a menu option in AdminCP. I can however directly go to the page to modify the tabs. The plug does show up in the Main options for the forum. I'm stumped! Would like to get a menu option in ADMINCP.

Any ideas?

/profile.php?do=fun&list=fan

any tips on how to set it up? when i set it up it doesn't highlight the fb connect tabi created. it goes to the page but the highlighted tab remains the forum tab and its sub menu.

i need it to change to fb connect tab and give me the sub menu i created.

any tips?

thanks

keep your URL as above but set your "THIS_SCRIPT" to "profile"

That should make your newly created tab highlight whenever they navagate to any of those... unfortunatly thats the only advice i can offer

Somethings else?

Erm, I have a suggestion. Add sublink dropdown menu's option, like vbulletin original does with the Community and Forum Action sublinks.



That would make this addon... ROCK! (not that it doesn't already! :P).

PS.: does anyone know how to replicate all the sublinks from the Forum TAB into a new one (including the menus)?

Fantastic, just what I needed, and so easy to use - thank you!!

[Turdadactyl]

AWESOME mod! Thanks.

How to add a tab button for a popup page ?? Please

[anthony parsons]

Whilst this product says supported, I don't think it really is any more. The plugin needs to be updated for 4.0.3 to work correctly. It is useless for some aspects now, and only works with some features in the latest version. If you don't want to use the advertised sub-nav menu, then it seems ok for tabs and dropdowns.

[slumbermann]

somehow the function to hide "What's New?" button didn't really functioning. Maybe an update for current version 4.0.3 would be great.
