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 dont think Jhonnyf has abandoned this project. i saw him online here last week or so, and he was testing an updated version of this script on his dev site the last time i was there. i will see if i can find out where he is at with this.

can't be he was online on the 7 March for the last time...

I havent upgraded to 4 because everyone says its not good, is this available for 3/8?

No, last I looked 3.x doesn't even have tabs.

And be careful when listening to 'everyone'. In fact, aside from a small group, 'everyone' finds vb4 to be cool and certainly the future.

[Drache]

very good plug in. but could you make this one work with the footer as well? I'd like to add some more links in the footer next to contact us.

[WarriorDL]

You can manually add links in with the footer template.

[dieKetzer]

no reply from jhonnyf yet. he hasnt logged into the test board in over a month, and i dont know what is going on. he was fully into this mod, so i doubt he has abandoned it. i reckon he will come back to it, perhaps once vb4 stabilises a bit?










'last week or so' = a week or two ago, in my world anyway

This hack is dead. There has been no support for too long. Unfortunately people are going to have to use it as is, or move on.

[Datenpapst]

seems so, what a shame.

[o0mohammed0o]

thanks so much
