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

Thanks in advance.

hi
works perfect, thanks!! but i have a problem with the style. when i hover the menu item, hover style is not the same as the default menu items. in my case, hoover link and tab background has same color. changing default link colors is difficult because it affects other parts of the forum where color is correct.
i use the default vbulletin style.
see screenshot:


or visit my forum: www.surfbasar.com

any idea what to do?
thanks!!

Hi,

I use vbadvanced as the index page on the forum, When I manually add a tab pointing to the website root, and use the This Script 'adv_index', the main tabs are ok, but the sub tab links are missing on this index page.

You will see what I mean here:-

Sub Tab Links:- http://www.tacklebox.com.au/forums/forum.php
No SubTab Links: - http://www.tacklebox.com.au/

Any dea how I can get the sub tab links to show up on the vbadvanced index page i.e. the front page. It ONLY does not show up is I manuall add a Main Tab in the options. If I do not add athe TBX tab t works on the front pae!

Thanks In Advance

Tim

2. Tab Sub Links does not work (not shown).

all works correct!
