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)

Same issue here!!!

Browser gives this error behind the scene:

YAHOO.plugin is undefined

So perhaps the YUI libraries used in this plugin are gone/failing from yahoo, this is why all of us have the same problem ?

Yep I got the same problem too. -- Working fine last night, this morning all my sites that use this mod are DOA, no loading of the needed javascript. -- We need a OFFLINE mode, host the YUI libraries on our own site!

[garyopa]

Update, YAHOO is fine, the problem is the Extension called 'Dispatcher', it is hosted a site caled Bubbling-Library:

<!-- YUI Library Extension: Dispatcher -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://js.bubbling-library.com/2.1/build/dispatcher/dispatcher-min.js"></script>

If any one has this file, I suggest attached it here, and edit our templates to host it ourselves and then we can enjoy having our tabbed forums back again working.

Problem solved.

Downloaded it from this link:

https://github.com/caridy/bubbling-l...patcher-min.js

And edited the FORUMHOME template to load the file from the TFH folder in my forums, instead of from the 'bubbling-library' original link.

For everyone I attached the file, make it easier.
