Forum Home Enhancements - [YUI] Tabbed Forum Home

[YUI] Tabbed Forum Home (TFH) version 4.0.8
vBulletin version: 4.1.11 - 4.2.0
Older versions need original mod for now

Description:
This MOD is for creating a "Tabbed" Forum Home Page to have Categories and other Data types (via Modules) displayed within Tab containers. 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 via AJAX without leaving the main forums page.

This is an entirely new version of TFH and only works with vB4. Management is all done via the Admin CP.

Installation is done in 3 simple steps. Upload files, Import product, 3 easy Template Edits.

Setup is now a breeze via the Tabs option in the Admin CP.

The attached Zip File contains the Files and Instructions necessary to install.

Incompatible mods
Two columns of categories - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=275114

Upgrading to 4.0.7+ from previous versions
We have had to change the mod's id which means when you install this time you will have 2 mods, the new version with its new id and the old version.
Both can run side by side but shouldnt to save processing time.

To migrate:
Install the latest version and upload all the files (no conflicts to worry about)
Install the latest product xml
Follow the template changes in the upgrade txt
Create your tabs in the new admincp menu option "EG: Tabbed Forum Home" to mirror the existing "Tabbed Forum Home" menu.
Once done uninstall the product "Tabbed Forum Home" with productid bobster_tfh (old mod id)

It's that simple eh... well if I had only looked - lol.. Thank you for giving me direction, much appreciated.

Excellent... I look forward to future releases... as a non-coder (well, very limited), it's all a bit over my head so glad you'll be giving options as the product evolves.

What about creating a secondary template for it and setting the default template to the non-tabbed version? I did that and it seems to work well.

Question, I have this installed and it works pretty good, but...

I added my Moderator forums to the first tab.
when I log in as a mod or admin, these mod forums don't show up, when I log into the admincp then go back to the forums homepage, they are now there.

When I log out of my account and view as guest, they are still there until I close IE and go back, then they are gone again, I log in and it just repeats itself.

any ideas

I've not installed 4.0.3 yet. IF I have time this weekend, I will take a look at it and put out an update for those that have 4.0.3 (if it is a simple fix). Just not sure how much time I will have.
