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

Is spewing out default Spanish tabs, without giving any options to alter or add new tabs in the AdminCP; making the hack redundant. Have disabled it for now until a fix pops up - but it seems unsupported judging by the comments.

[MikeF]

Functionality to hide tabs like Forum and Home are broken in vBulletin 4.1.1 Beta 1. These are unlikely to be fixed by IB/vBulletin, and it will be up to the developer to update this mod.

I'm making reasonable use of this now Still have issues trying to get things to display in a navbar (not the navtab) but anyway


I have set my Name field to something like

<img src="http://myurl.org/images/menu/PHOTO-GALLERY.gif" alt="PHOTO GALLERY"/>

to do this I had to increase the size of the title field in the database from 100 characters to something like 255 to be safe. Might be worth including this in the instructions as it makes a nice menu

[MikeWarner]

Is it possible to highlight added tabs by specific forum please?

I have a new tab called 'Classifieds' where people post to classified adverts forums. It would be good if the tab was highlighted when in these forums.

Thanks.

Would love to see the opportunity for this to be able to add a 'Double' nav bar to it as well.
I am running out of space now, and need a double nav bar, there is a mod for it in the vB4 mods, but it's lots of Template edits, and I really like this one here better.

Any chance for this to be added to this Mod?

[maneri]

A big thanks to Jhonnyf !

Let me just remind this mod allow both: Tab-sub-links and Drop-drown-items.
(me I had this big doubt before installing).

Installed.

[Mustiii]

Is it possible to find the addet Tabs and Dropdown Items in the Templates? If yes in which? Because i would like to add vbphrases to translate them my Forum is multilingual.

[deverill2010]

Hi I have this mod isntalled and have set up three extra tabs with only two visible at the moment.

I have created them as drop down menus and asigned articles to the drop down links. On each article the 'can read' permissions are set to everyone except the banned user group.

However if I log out and try to view these articles they are not visible and I am asked to log in.. I can't find any other permissions to change, so how can I make my content viewable?

I have looked all over the place but am stumped. It is probably something really easy but help! Please

[bruneiguru]

Hi there, hope somebody can help. I just installed this today. There are three new navtabs in Spanish actively working on my site: Lideres, Miembros, and vbSoporte. They link fine so I'm assuming the install is ok, BUT haha I don't have the menu in admin CP to alter or edit.

Have I missed something? Do I need to configure something else? Any help much appreciated as I'd rather keep it than uninstall. Thanks
