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 this installed on 3 forums and on the 3 of them when i click the home tab (which was created with this mod) the forum tab always remains highlighted

[Astyanax]

Creating tabs with this MOD is fantastic, but then what? What about the content in each tab? How do I create that?

Anyway ...

(1) In Internet Explorer, the width of the drop-down expands to the width of the browser window. This does not seem to be a problem in Firefox.

(2) In both Internet Explorer and Firefox ... the dropdowns will get hidden behind some objects, like some widgets.

Yeah, I see that IE7 has problems but IE8 fixes them. I'm not going to be bothered by it because only 5% of my users use IE7 and I don't mind if they upgrade.
If I get real bored I will find a fix as I'm sure it's no more difficult than adding a IE hack in the CSS.
EDIT: It looks like it may be related to the rollup css which has this declaration:

.navtabs ul {
border-top:1px solid #6C5A39;
left:0;
margin-right:-80px;
position:absolute;
top:26px;
width:100%;
}

You will have to override the width to something like 200px. Maybe you should add it to the element's "style" attribute (the UL), and if that doesn't work add "!important" after it.
Hope that helps.

Johnnyf, you may recall I paid you $20 to get some requested features into this plugin. Well, I feel kinda ripped off because you are IGNORING ME!!!

I posted a question way back on page 8 or so of this thread, about highlighting.

On this page, farther up, I asked another.

Could you PLEASE answer my questions???

I'm not sure how many donation you get but I imagine it's not as many as you deserve. I would think the few (including myself) who pay for our plugins/addons would get special treatment. I am willing to pay even more if this thing would only work!

One last request I have is that the dropdowns go more than one level deep.

Please respond. Thank you!

This is just what i needed, but there is only one little problem.
After installation in my AdminCp there is no "Tabs vbSoporte," only in Settings/Tabs add system for vBulletin 4 by vbSoporte/...

[apokphp]

Could this be used as an alternative to the Register link?

That is, for non-registered members...they would see a Register tab...for those not logged in, they wouldn't?
