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

Sorry Guy.. I have not much time and the main problem for me it's the language

if some people that speek Spanish and English can say exactly what do you want to change it will be more easy to me.

And The another problem it's that vb4 it's not stable yet

[carrlos]

Jhonnyf, Yo te puedo ayudar si necesitas traducciones de lo que pide la gente. Pero no soy 'coder' como tu. Me defiendo un poco si hay que modificar algo.

If anyone needs help translating, I'll be glad to try to help.

More than 500 installs... when you will submit the new version?

[choitz]

buy curramba!!!

Surely "What's New?" isn't to dissimilar Jonny. Also, the screen shots people have put up. It's a real pity as this seemed so good when it came out almost 2 months ago.

When I create tabs, they do not stay highlighted when I go to their link.

If i do like in the second post and make it an exact url instead of a relative url (which would be preferred...), then -all- the custom tabs become highlighted.

[Debbi]

Nice, and just what I was looking for! Installed.

Looks like just the hack I'm looking for, but I've run into a problem I don't know how to fix. The tab in ACP requires a right scroll to view. I'm sure I missed something as you would not have it set like that.

I haven't done the following step yet though - "Import the product product-evbs_sstab_advanced.xml" as I don't know where to put that file. Import it how and where? The other files are successfully FTP'd to my server in the correct directories.

thanks

[NashChristian]

Why do coders want credit, three links, and to put a copyright on every page of your site, just for a little tabs mod? I don't get it.

I appreciate people sharing their work, but credits like this should be reserved for MAJOR mods or add-ons.

There is enough clutter as it is. Thanks, but no thanks.

[Kapeket]

I would love to add this menu to my front page.

Any help would be appreciated.
