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.

Hello.
For a long time was not I need CMS so turned off HOME button.
Today comes the need to run as a CMS, it appears that although the button is turned on, and so it does not appear. I did a lot of treatments and nothing restores the HOME button. I'm doing a whole on the basis of a test backup so tempted by the extreme solutions and still nothing. Maybe someone has an idea for my already exhausted ...

Here is a list of these variations, which took the tests:
- Uninstall modification Tabs en vBulletin 4.x
- Rebuild templates
- Upgrade.php
- Truncate datastore table and upgrade.php
- Remove CMS (product) + new installation of CMS (a product from another forum that has a button)
- CMS removal, cleaning Datastore table, use tools.php + upgrade.php (new installation of CMS)
- A couple of other solutions that are ineffective.

Maybe someone has any idea because I sag.

Sorry for my English but I support a translator.

Make a Copy of your navbar template and after reverse the changes (original template)

If not work then you have anoter problem, maybe with the CMS Installer

Is it possible to fix the dropdown menu tab ?

Hi,

I've downloaded and installed sstab_advanced_204a.zip but it show up as version 2.0.3 in the Plugins and Product Manager. On closer inspection the installer xml in this zip archive also refers to 2.0.3.

Am I missing something or does the zip file not have the latest installer/files? IS this the latest version or is there a 2.0.4a version?

Cheers and thanks for a great script!
