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

Uninstalled this product, deleted uploaded files. Still messed up my style and reloading the original style XML file does not fix the issues.

[S S0DEN]

My default style is fine, but my other styles are affected. Even if I create a new style with no parents, that style is messed up in the same way. Help please.

[SnowBot]

Same issues for me to, it also has left a link behind after uninstall

Help

[S S0DEN]

Solved it myself, this product re-writes this: forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost I was able to see the edit in the CP and restored it to match my default style. Now I am searching for the verticle users online edit.

[S S0DEN]

I got the link off by removing the uploaded files /admincp/evbs_sstabs.php and /includes/xml/cpnav_evbs_sstab.xml

[SnowBot]

Hi I have removed the files but the link is still on the navbar

http://www.socialspace.co.uk/forum/forum.php The Resources link

I tried disabling it, uninstalling and even tried re-installing and adding and removing the link again...lol Nothing worked...AARRGG

[S S0DEN]

I would search through style manager > edit templates and take note of every template alteration made (shows in red), I used my default style as a backup and simply opened the edited template, copied the code in notepad, saved it with the correct name. Then I went into the same path in the default style, opened up the editor, copied the code. Went back to my style and replaced the code with the default code. I made sure to keep the old code in Notepad just in case I messed up.

Hope that helps, It has to be a Navbar edit somewere.

[SnowBot]

Thanks for the tip but it shows in my default styles and no templates are altered in that....

[S S0DEN]

Ahh man, I always leave my default template alone just in case... Maybe you can setup a dummy forum and use the default styles template code from there?

[SnowBot]

Yer, gunna have to......cheers but would be good to get some input from the coder here
