This mod allows admins to install and manage Standard Tabbars... aka {Nav-Tabs}...

ATTENTION: download Tutorial for better help...

What does it do? Installs multi-tabbar above your navbar...Other options in future updates...

************************************************** *****
Primary setup consists of installing plugin.xml and uploading images...
************************************************** *****

Step {1}
********
Upload images folder...>>> { tabbars } to your forum images folder...

http://yoursite.com/forums/images/tabbars/

http://forums/images/tabbars.yoursite.com/

http://forumsroot/images/tabbars/

CMPS setup: upload images folder...>>> { tabbars } to your domain root images folder...
Setup global option in CMPS admin to show on frontpage...

Goto CMPS admin and find default settings / main options...
Scroll down and find...>>> Portal Output Global Variables...
Insert $var...>>> $tabbarsuite or tabbarsuite,,, SAVE
Last setup images path below...

http://yoursite.com/images/tabbars/

Gallery or Photopost setup: upload images folder...>>> { tabbars } to your gallery root images folder...

http://yoursite.com/gallery/images/tabbars/

http://yoursite.com/photopost/images/tabbars/
  • There are many color sets to choice from within the tabbars folder... 31 total sets...
  • If you have your own set that you prefer to use,,, upload to tabbars folder and overwrite one of the original sets with yours, and select by number option...


Step {2}
********
Setup plugin...
  • Goto admincp and open manage products
  • Select and install plugin tabbar_suite.xml
  • After setup goto forum and view navbar
  • If images uploaded correctly tabbar will show
  • If images don't show up * Check your image path
  • Goto Tabbar Suite settings and begin Css setup


Step {3}
********
Setup CSS in admin options...
  • View and make sure first two options on
  • View and setup css font family no-hover

  • View and setup css visited link text color

If you followed the first four steps and images don't show, you must edit the path above in the Tabbar Suite options... View first step to understand how to link to images folder...

Ok, if you made it here then your images are showing?
If you want to change image sets, edit the path above in options...
How? Edit the numbers only in both paths and your images will change to that number set...

Example: css5_L.gif <<<..... edit the number only {5} to change color sets...

Amazing mod. Love it.

Only two things to make it perfect.

1- I would like to use the Dropdown, but the main title of the list is not clickable. Weird. Sometimes I have a menu item that doesn't have dropdowns and I cannot click on the menu item to bring me where I want it to bring me. But if I add dropdowns to menu, only the dropdowns are clickable.

I read through the entire thread and couldn't find anything about that.

2- I woud like to disable a tab. Can I? For example, I only want to use 11 tabs, but the 12th is showing. Look at my site for an example.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Daniel

Andreas great mod *** Keep the ball rolling...

************************************************** ******
andy2295,,, its a url path issue that's causing image's not to show up...
Double check your image url path...

/images/css_4.gif
images/css_4.gif
./images/css_4.gif
../images/css_4.gif
http://yoursite.com/forums/images/css_4.gif

Or try another image set before giving up...

************************************************** ******
dbigras,,, beauts...

Your question about dropdowns?

Currently when using dropdown menu's you will experience that issue...
If dropdown is active on any tabbar,,, that tabbar's main tab will disable and only dropdowns will become active... If this mod becomes more popular I will update it with better options...

Also I noticed that your tabbars aren't flush with your navbar...

FIX? ...>>> check your code within navbar template and place $tabbarsuite below this ...>>> <br />

************************************************** ******
Adding more or less tabbar's?

Update coming next month...

Great Hack thanx! The "Front Page" tab is always highlighted no matter which page you navigate to. Is it possible to highlight the tab of the page you navigate to?

Thanx!
