[AJAX] Tabbed Forum Home · **Released**: 04-09-2008

Tabbed Forum Home version 1.01

[AJAX] Tabbed Forum Home version 1.5.0 (BETA)

NOTE: Works with both 3.7x and 3.6x

Description: This MOD is for creating a "Tabbed" Forum Home Page to have Categories displayed within Tab containers (similar to what the new Profile System looks like on vb3.7). Please do not confuse this with the Tab Menu System here at vbulletin.org. They are totally different systems. These Tabs actually switch the content without leaving the main forums page.

I wrote the initial Non AJAX version based on reading many requests from members asking about how namepros created their custom tabbed forum home page. The first implementation I did was a request by bbwforums.net (which you can visit to see a working example). I have shared this version with many members already and decided to release it since it seems to be something that a lot of members are interested in.

UPDATE: I have released a BETA [AJAX] version for those that what something a little more robust and easier to install/configure. This Beta version will never go into production tho as version 2.0 will utilize the YUI AJAX Tabview Toolset. It IS stable tho and is currently running on a few live sites.

NOTE: Keep in mind, I wrote this with the assumption that you are fairly well versed and comfortable with editing files/templates and following the flow of things. If there is something you don't understand, PLEASE let me know so that I can help you understand it. This IS NOT a product that a novice can just plug and play and it takes a little bit of time to setup, but its well worth it in the end (if you want a custom unique look to your forum home page)... the next version (Don't ask when, cause its just on the drawing board) will be a product with ACP controls for easy setup

The attached Zip File(s) contain the Files and Instructions necessary to install each version.

DEMO: www.bbwforums.net or www.namepros.com

no set time frame.. all of us are working hard to get it out as soon as possible tho. The beta testers have been a tremendous help so far!

Couple of quick questions....

How can we add a small icon or picture next to the actual text on each tab?

And, is there a way to have the script cycle through the tabs automatically? I want to make sure that folks notice/realize that there are more topics/forums than just the ones on the default tab.

Thoughts?

I am testing the version 2.0 of the mod and it seems to be working rather well (outside of some specific errors to my site)...so, although I can't give you an ETA (I'm only helping test it out)...it sure seems to be pretty close to being complete.

I know that KK mentioned that there is still a BETA 4. And, once that is complete, it should be released. Just keep an eye out and hopefully it'll be out sooner than later.

1.5 is stable enough and is never going to leave the 'beta' status as it's not in development anymore. v2 is going to be the next 'stable' release.

I just can't wait for version 2.0 to be released~
I can't seem to install 1.5..Hopefully 2.0 will be easy to install.
