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

This is excellent and works very well with vBulletin 4.1.5 Patch Level 1

Works great, but how can i do the Tabs put in the Subnavbar?

[blankpage]

I visualize this error message on the forum board:

Warning: explode() expects parameter 2 to be string, array given in [path]/includes/class_bootstrap.php(537) : eval()'d code on line 310

Warning: array_pop() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in [path]/includes/class_bootstrap.php(537) : eval()'d code on line 310

For some reason I click hide Home tab but it does not hide it, it is still showing. It will hide the blog and forum tab but not the Home tab. New installed on a fresh install of vb 4.1.5 PL1. Any ideas?

[ahobilam]

I installed it is working fine.
Also it is very easy to work with it.
Before this I tried and tired to add a link in navbar ...
fine.
thanks,

I can't seem to find the tab for it in the left side of AdminCP. Can anybody help?

[SiteTalkZone]

Don't know why I can't see the option is AdminCP.

To change the options, I needed to go to here

The option can be found at the left side of the AdminCP under the "Tabs vbSoporte" tab.

And I highly doubt this plugin is still "supported", the last post of the author within this thread was at 15 May 2011 which is more than 3 months ago. The plugin is still partly busted as the BLOG / Forum / What's new tabs are still showing when they are set to "NO" in the plugins option menu.

I also PM'd the author, no reply what so ever.. i assume this mod is not supported what so ever.
