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

there is no option to add new tabs in the options area of the admincp.

[Jhonnyf]

Are you sure that Upload the content of UPLOAD to the root of your forum?

You should be have this Menu


Check if exist the file /includes/xml/cpnav_evbs_sstab.xml

If not, Upload and Reinstall

[speedimpulse]

which part of the control panel do i upload it to?

[speedimpulse]

i uploaded both of the files inside UPLOAD to the document root but it still does not work

[speedimpulse]

I seem to be having some problems with the alignment of the image viz the rest of the text:



Do you know why the text is being pushed down like that?

Which is quite strange! it's the only addon I have installed.

Running vBulletin Version 4.0.3 Patch Level 1.

If i disable this product, I don't get the error.

No tabs show up.

In the config, it's shown as Active.

Deleting all the tabs still shows the error.

Any ideas? Thanks for the mod

I am having a problem with the sub menu - the default links are showing up on every tab, even over the top of custom sub links.

The "Home" tab is set to "http://MY_FORUM_URL/index.php" which is my vBAdvanced CMPS index page. It is not set to be a drop-down menu, Tab mode is THIS_SCRIPT, and THIS_SCRIPT is "adv_index".

I have created 3 sub links "Link 1", "Link 2", "Link 3", all set to "http://google.com/" to demonstrate the problem.
As you can see in the attached screenshot, the custom sub links are underneath the default sub links.

Help would be appreciated.

I am having the same problem. I see where this has been asked about a couple of times, but no responses...

Do I have to reupload everything to upgrade from 203 to 204a? Is 204a stable?

Thanks
