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

Create the tabs you want. When you want to add a dropdown link you go to "Drop-Down Items" on the left mod menu. There you add the dropdown link and you choose the tab you want the dropdown link to be added.
I hope this helps.

Thanks but I still can't work out how to do it.

Just spotted that when using search.php the "What's New" tab appears. Would it be possible to fix that please?

[Skyrider]

vb 4.0.2 re-creates the "What's new" tab in homepage, regardless if "hide whats new" is selected.

1. Create the tab (have you done this?)
2. Click the drop down menu on the left side menu of this mod



On the top you choose the tab you want to add a sub-link.
It's really not difficult.

I just installed this mod for the first time. Everything uploaded, checked the file permissions, I see spanish words in my navigation bar but don't get the additional menu in admincp. No cache problem, the "Tabs vbSoporte" menu just doesn't show up in the side frame.

What kind of problem could that be?
Does it only work with the vBulletin CMS? I use only the forum.

[Pro-eSports.com]

I noticed a problem with the navigation bar when you press tabs.

The navigation bar goes crazy as you can see in the images.

[GarethJ]

Great idea.

I have a problem in that use of the menu takes me out of an https session back to an ordinary http session. How do I get it to stay with whatever the current session is? Some use http and others use https to access the forum.
