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.

Subnavs are often annoying and vBulletin is way to subnav happy.

This is shaping up to be thee mandatory Tab System for vB 4.
Great addon.
+++ Tagged ... will install ASAP.

This is a very nice mod. Thank you

However, before we keep it...Is there anyway with this mod to add a tab which points to a custom vb powered page and remain selected?

The page is rendered through a vb custom template and is calling some php code from outside vB. The vb powered page includes the tab bar at the top of it so it looks incorrect to see the tab for the page you are on but the forum tab is the one highlighted. I need to make that tab stay selected when on that page.

Oh and x2 on the ability to set the sub menu items based on the selected tab!

Thanks for the nice work!

Anyone using this mod on their site ?
I would like to verify that when you click a Tab made by this mod ... that the Tab Appears Selected. Other TAB mods suffer from this problem.

Currently it does not

If it is an internal page it DOES stay selected. For example if you specify THIS_SCRIPT for a tab to the member list then it does stay selected.

Does not stay selected if it is and external link.

Seems there must be a way for a custom page that is powered by VB which is what my question was in reference to how to do...or if it is possible

[TrailRecon]

ok, figured it out. Forgot the .php on the name.

For those of you that have a vb powered page, all you have to do is DL your php file for that page and open it it wordpad. Towards the top you will find THIS_SCIPT. Right after it will be the name you use.

As long as you define any php file I imagine it will still show selected

Thank you and marking installed! I have used a few nav tab mods and this one is the best for sure. Once the sub menus are able to be changed based on the sleeted tab this will for sure be the definitive tab mod!

[joseduddy]

Great Mod.
I want to ad a blank between each tab so to space them out. Is there a code for this.
Thanks in advance

[Jhonnyf]

Option to create TABS DROP DOWN MENU 100%
Option to create Sublink for TABS 95%
Full Admin System 95%
Testing with my Betatesters (my friends) = 0% :P

When my friends testing the opcion I release this version

[War.Frog]

Great mod...can anyone touch up the language and re-issue a more English hack version?
