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)

I dont know wheter i can post it here or not,
But we made some modification in TFH.
1. We Enabled History for selected tab. So Even if you reopen your browser, the preselected tab will load.
2. And i dont know how to explain the other modification. When you open the site, All the tabs are automatically cached, so when you click tabs they load immediately. No waiting needed

You can see it from http://vizilti.net

as long as you post your modifications to it in this thread, I don't mind, however, releasing it as your own not allowed.

The Zip file contains a Folder named "UPLOAD" inside that are the files and folder structure that needs to be uploaded to the FORUM root.

I can't say it any more clear. You upload the contents of the "UPLOAD" folder into your forum root (which is the directory that contains all the core vB files). This is very BASIC stuff.

ok thank you i was just double checking i was doing this right and i did not need to upload the files inside admincp to admincp i can just hightlight all the files in the upload folder to my public_html in my ftp.

p.s i have only been doing this for a week so this whole thing is very new to me.. sorry
