Forum Display Enhancements - Tabs Add System for vBulletin 4 (sstab advanced)

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.

In additional.css find

and change it to

.navtabs li a {
	height:{vb:stylevar navbar_tab_size.height}px;
	line-height:10px;

Perhaps not the smartest but the easiest way.

Worked like a charm.!
Thanks

I have installed release 4.1.12 of the suite.
My NAVBAR does not work at all and messes up the page so it's not even readable.
Should this mod work with this new release that has made modifications to the NAVBAR template?

Has anyone else had these issues with 4.1.12?

Thanks!

[New Joe]

No, as 4,1,12 has only just come out.

There are lots of problems with 4,1,12 with things such as he nav bar, best thing is to hang on till someone comes with a fix.
A lot of us use this mod, so one of the coders will help out for sure,

[G37Sam]

Yes it should.. check it out on my forum, just installed 4.1.12 today: gtz-uae dot com

Hmmm, that looks good. How did you get HOME to highlight when on the page? I never did get that to work.
When I installed 4.1.12, the new NAVBAR tried to merge the existing and the new and came up with conflicts. I made some other very minor changes to NAVBAR but nothing that I thought would cause such a breakdown.
I am not sure how to use the new one (which is what I want and then reply my minor changes).
In admincp (see attachment) if I choose Edit Template, it does not appear to be the new one, but looks like the merged template. Any pointers?

Thanks for your input.

[G37Sam]

My install was a new one so I can't really comment, I would uninstall and reinstall just to be safe and see how it goes
