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

- thom request : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=497

I'm sure there a couple more that the previous posters want.

Gracias!

[Jhonnyf]

I don't have problems with Calendar, maybe it's for the vBulletin version (4.0.3) or maybe for the changes to HIDE Whats'New.

Are you sure that Write the correct THIS_SCRIPT? (calendar for calendar.php) or try with URL

• Fix Whats'new
• Add Imagen opcion to tabs
• Credits in footer can be disable from Option Panel
• fix Calendar problem (I'm not sure, I can't repeat the problem)

Do Sub-sub menu (post 497) maybe for the next version and when vBUGlletin finally release a TRUE GOLD VERSION and not with this ridiculous BETA with 200 error each week



EDIT:
I READ ALL 35 Pages And I see that the big error it's with the URL_PARAMETER:
*Actually Working in URL_PARAMETER that not work fine

[Jhonnyf]

I fixed the URL_PARAMETER... someone can take a look?

I Config this with to hightlight the tab name "Test URL_PARAMETER" with the Thread

http://www.vbsoporte.com/test/showthread.php?1-Nuevo

Should be work in all pages of that thread

Please, Redownload the file

The Installer Say:

$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "test_evbs_sstabs` ADD `imagen` VARCHAR( 200 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '' AFTER `tabmode`");

when should be say:

$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "evbs_sstabs` ADD `imagen` VARCHAR( 200 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '' AFTER `tabmode`");

Reinstall (Mark Overwrite, don't uninstall or the table will be delete)

Sorry for that

[MorgUk]

Hi, Thanks for your work.

I am very new to vBulletin and when I saw the error I got scared that I had lost my forum.
I uninstalled and it was back to normal. Is there anychance mods/products can permanently mess up my forum?

Cheers

The mods/products are PHP code, it's posible to delete all the Databasee or Create a Backdoor to enter to your Forum but here in vBulletin.org always review the new products to prevent that.

Some Error (like you have with my product) are no intension and alway for neglect for autor

But If someday you Install some Product and You can't enter to AdminCP to Uninstall or disable, always can disable all Modification writting this line en /includes/config.php (after <?php)

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', 1); 


Then you enter to your Admin, uninstall, disable, anything, and after you can delete that line (or put // to commnet) to reactivate all the modification

Remember, Always Try to Download from vBulletin.org (Or websites known authors) because you will have the security that no have "evil intentions"

Sorry, My English It's not good

Cheers, excellent post! Vert greatful
