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.

I cant make any changes to the tabs if there is no "Tabs vbSoporte" section in the navigation panel to make the changes from what I understand. I do see a section added to my vBulletin "Options" area that says "Tabs add system for vBulletin 4 by vbSoporte" but it is limited in changes that can be made, only basically allowing what tabs should be hidden or not...

So am I missing something or what do you suggest I do??? I already tried uninstalling the plugin and re-installing but still seeing the same problem. Please help!

If anyone has an idea what may be the problem, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I got it figured out and working now. Only issue Im seeing is the same type mattyphatty mentioned where I cant get a tab to go all the way to the right.

I installed that gallery plugin, but cant get the gallery tab to move since I would rather have a different tab all the way to the right like contact us.

Any suggestions?

Also having issues with highlighting here ... I'm trying to set up separate tabs (and sub links) to the albums mod and album.php ... but all it does it highlight the "forum" tab and not show the sub cats at all.

OK ... sussed it.

For example.

If you want to set a tab to "album.php", you set "THIS_SCRIPT" to "album", nothing else ... no URL, no extension ... just the script name and your tab will be highlighted correctly.

If you want albumall.php to highlight the same tab, you add "albumall" to the above THIS_SCRIPT bit. (no spaces next to the commas)

Complicated, but I got there in the end.
