Forum Display Enhancements - Tabs Add System for vBulletin 4 (sstab advanced)

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.

Add units to px

The stylevar "navbar_menu_height" is not available, can't find it in stylevars or css

This is a great mod. I can imagine all the hard work that went into it- I know because I coded something very similar myself before I knew this existed.

I just wish "navbar buttons" was mentioned somewhere in the title because some people (like me) didn't know they were called "tabs" and after an extensive search I couldn't find this.

Wasted a better part of a weekend making my own only to be pointed to this one- all the work was already done... and done well. Hat's off to the coder. :up:

[deverill2010]

I have unistalled this but I still have the menu in the admin panel.

How do I get rid of this? I've removed the files that was required to upload.

Try to install it again!

[svaghari]

This plug-in was installed some time ago to just disable the 'what's new' tab. I was curious if it would also enable me to add a link-tab to the 'home' sub-navigation bar? if so how? I tried playing around with it.

[Eq4bits]

Installed this on 4.1.10 works a charm *except* that unless I'm logged in as admin the 'home/frontpage' tab disappears if the 'blogs' tab is clicked/you view 'blogs'. My 'custom' tab is showing as is the tab I made for the calendar as well as the blogs tab, just the 'home/frontpage' tab is missing. This happens in Chrome, IE, Firefox, SeaMonkey browsers, so it isn't browser specific.
see images below:

Well, since this mod doesn't seem to be supported at all I've uninstalled it.
To answer some of the questions for others that have uninstalled about the menu for this mod remaining in their admincp left menu these are the steps I followed:

1. Go to: Admincp>PlugIns & Products>PlugIn Manager, and delete the plug in
2. Go to your File Manager or whatever your hosts cPanel calls it (some folks MAY be able to do this step via ftp)
3. Open the admincp directory. Delete the file 'evbs_sstabs.php'
4. Open the includes directory, then the xml directory. Delete the file 'cpnav_evbs_sstab.xml'

This totally removed this mod from my vB. Hope this helps someone.

ETA: while this removed the plugin and the left side 'menu' for this mod, it did *not* remove it from admincp>settings>options menu. Once I figure out how to remove it from there I'll post the fix; or if anyone else knows how to do this I'd appreciate knowing

[BirdOPrey5]

Got o Admin CP -> Product Manager and find the product listed. Choose "Uninstall" from the drop down box- this will remove all settings, plugins, templates, and phrases and undo any database changes.

Now go to the /includes/xml/ directory and delete cpnav_evbs_sstab.xm - this will remove the menu option on the side of the Admin CP.

Finally delete the evbs_sstabs.php file from the admincp directory just to be complete.
