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

Have to delete all the stuff you uploaded to your server in the "upload" folder. (IF you want to completely uninstall it) Otherwise if you are just re-installing just upload the xml, & should be good to go.

If I use a link like http://www.domain.com/forum/f11/ what do I need to set to make some sub-tabs in the nav bar and to make the tab as selected like here:

[docvader]

did you take the cpnav.... out of the includes/xml folder?

[Teascu Dorin]

Originally Posted by docvader

Checked with or without that file and still the tab is not becoming selected and no subtabs appears (the normal vB subtabs are still there not the ones the I have set).

Thanks

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxx

Hallo

Wie kann ich hier eine zweite Tab reihe einfügen,
Danke

[maneri]

Just a small issue, the plugin is causing a validation error beacuse of this line:

PHP Code:

<li $selecionado><a class='navtab' href='".$item_sublink[0]['url']."' target='".$item_sublink[0]['target']."'>".$item_sublink[0]['title']."</a>$link_submenu<li> 


<li> tag needs to be properly closed:

PHP Code:

<li $selecionado><a class='navtab' href='".$item_sublink[0]['url']."' target='".$item_sublink[0]['target']."'>".$item_sublink[0]['title']."</a>$link_submenu</li> 


Great plugin, very useful, again THANKS to the coder.

Ok so im trying to make this work.. It's a great mod, but im having issues with hover or selected tabs being highlighted.



In this description it says to "write the part that always repeats"

About URL_PARAMETER
To use this Option only Write the Part that Always repeat, por example for this URLs:
http://x.com/showthread.php?1-Nuevo (Main thread)
http://x.com/showthread.php?1-Nuevo&p=13#post13 (Post in thread)
http://x.com/showthread.php?1-Nuevo/page2 (One page of thread)

So what would i put for example..
This..

/forumdisplay.php?226-madden

or this

http://www.example.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?226-madden

I also have many sub forums under that one ID# 226 Do i need to add them all or.?


Also what can i do to make them highlight on hover.?

The tabs work fine if there is no drop down items.! It's when i add drop down items, & the tab adds an arrow that it will nol onger highlight.


I have tried a number of different ways, & maybe it is just my skin that is making it not work, but a major part of my skin is the highlight of the tabs, so i would love to have this work correctly.

Thanks
