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

I am running Version 4.0.5 and I cannot install this product.

#1 Which zip file should I download?
#2 I have downloaded both zip files but I cannot import 'product-evbs_sstab_advanced.xml'. Where is that file? When I import the file that's in the includes subfolder I get an error message 'invalid file.'

Please advise.

Since you ask so nicely, I figured out a fix for the IE7 issue (for some reason IE6 and IE8 are fine).

Search vbulletin-chrome.css template for this line:

.toplinks ul.isuser li.popupmenu ul li {

.. and right above it, paste:

#navtabs li.popupmenu{position:relative;}

Now BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP ME!!! (just kidding)

Now, to the immature jerk who was dissing me for not providing a fix sooner, he can suck my... well, I didn't appreciate the comment. And he IS wrong about big companies. It's the small ones like yours and mine who really can't afford NOT to care about 5% of our users. Hence the fix.

I hope you guys can be a little more tactful in your responses in the future - especially when there's people like me who are willing and able to help if we just get some respect.

This styling stuff isn't so hard if when you have Firebug and IETester.

Cheers!

so from the last posts i realise that there is no support , the mod isnt working well and the coder is gone, so no need bothering myself installing this hack right ?

When I hide the "What's New" tab it just appears back when I go onto vba cmps

[RichieBoy67]

This is an awesome mod and a huge timer saver!! Thank you for your work!!

I would like to use this with a vbadvanced portal. Can you tell me how I can add conditionals to show the forum tab only on the home page and the home page tab only on the forum??

PHP Code:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'adv_index'"><a href="http://yoursite.com/index.php"> Forums <else /> <a href="http://yoursite.com/"> Home </if></a></td> 


Thanks

Richie, you don't need to use this hack for that. vba already has an option. Can't recall exactly where it is atm, but I use it. There's a thread about it at vba.com.

[RichieBoy67]

I think that option only works if you are using the cmps_index file as your forum page and I am not. I know exactly what you are talking about but it will not work in this situation.

Thanks though,

Rich

I have installed the product and it is outstanding. The instructions to install the product are not precise however. It's always awkward communicating effectively to nontechnical individuals, i.e., non-programmers. If I recall it has to do with a particular file not being specifically named and needed to be uploaded. I think the file name begins with product.

Thank you. Great product!
