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

LbR, isn't your issue more CSS related, as in the search box is floating over the top? If you were to stop it doing that and make it wrap underneath...?

I used a fixed width for my site to stop this from happening and saving me having to design for ALL resolutions.

How to do a fixed width, Please can you tell me ?

[Russ_T]

Have a look in the style vars for content width I believe, change it from 100% to something like 960 px

[Popa Andrei]

Is there a way to use a vbphrase in the title?

I have 2 errors after install, one that others have:

PHP Code:

Warning: Unexpected character in input: ''' (ASCII=39) state=1 in /home/halucero/public_html/includes/class_bootstrap.php(394) : eval()'d code on line 245

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/halucero/public_html/includes/class_bootstrap.php(394) : eval()'d code on line 245 


Second one appears when I try to see a thread after the first one and nothing is shown.

PHP Code:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at [path]/includes/class_bootstrap.php(394) : eval()'d code:245) in [path]/vbseo/includes/functions_vbseo_url.php on line 542

I have disable vbseo and the view of a thread is totally modified graphically (in the wrong way). Reenabeling makes appearing above errors and no thread is shown.

There is no tab appearing even if I set up new links and set permission to admin to see them.

I would love to have a fix for this as this mode is awesome

Sadly I need to uninstall it.

[SnowBot]

I have uninstall it but hhmm It has left a Tab on the navbar behind and I cant remove it.....Any clue how to remove the link?

[S S0DEN]

Installed, but I have a problem. In one style when installed I now have no forum display links anymore. My Forumhead_background image will show. But it now has a 7 pixle border on the top and bottom and no forum display link in the middle.

Also my active users display top to bottom instead of side to side.
