[YUI] Tabbed Forum Home · **Version:** 4.1.11

[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)

if you are talking about the tabs, then check out the class

yui-nav

or

Code:

yui-navset yui-navset-top

That what I could see from firebug. if the class is not written in additional.css file, it should be then in the css files that come with this mod.

Update:

it turns out that the style as I said located in the included css files with the mod. Check out both skin-tfh.css and tabview.css

now I'm 100% sure it is from there.

Good luck

hi,

which version of vb are you running the mod on?

also, notice if your forums in your forum home view disappeared means it is working...

can you show us the code where you changed this below before modifications?

sounds like there is something incorrect...

PHP Code:


			
<ul >
<li><a href="#">Name Of Tabs</a></li>
</ul>

but when i open the file , i did`t see any template tags or any html code to use or to update on it ,, ! so what could i do ?

[S]
I think you mean that you want to view different tabs inside the forums not only the forum home.... I really didn't try that, but there is the code for tabs view, you can place it in the right forum page

Code:

<!-- main -->
{vb:raw template_hook.forumhome_above_forums}
<!-- Tabbed Forum Home -->
<div id="forumhome_container" style="margin-top:5px"> </div>
<script type="text/javascript"> {vb:raw eg_tfh} </script>
<!-- /Tabbed Forum Home  -->
{vb:raw template_hook.forumhome_below_forums}
<!-- /main -->

in the following pages:

forumhome_forumbit_level1_post, forumhome_forumbit_level2_post,

if it didn't work, then I believe there must be some tab code interruption... [/S]

I tried that all, but didn't work. there must be some sort of deep modification. sorry about that

Hi there...

I dont understand what I have to do...

maybe you can have a look at yesdukan.de

or tell me what I have to show. I changed nothing in that template manually until installing YUI Tabbed Forum Home

Oh i forgot:

Its (vBulletin 4.2.0 Patch Level 3)

Xcynic · #**926** 03-08-2013, 01:23 PM

Great mod, however I have a question.

If you set Cache Data to YES so the tabs load quicker will this make it so if new posts etc are updated it wont refresh it or what? Like what are the pro's and cons of having it on YES/NO?

how come??? it is straight forward mod...

ok, here you are again, make sure you follow the instructions step by step:

Code:

> STEP 1: Upload Files located in the UPLOAD FOLDER to your FORUM ROOT i.e. vb.

Code:

 > STEP 2: Import Product XML File (product-edugeek_tfh)

Code:

STEP 3: change the coding in your templates as the following:

find through search template in you admin cp: FORUMHOME

find the code: </head> and directly above it, insert the following code: 

<!-- Tabbed Forum Home Header Code 4.0.8 -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/tfh/tabview.css" /> 
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/tfh/skin-tfh.css" /> 
<!-- TFH JS -->
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
if (remoteyui)
{
document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/clientscript/tfh/dispatcher-min.2.2.js"></script>');
document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.9.0/build/element/element-min.js"></script>');
document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.9.0/build/tabview/tabview-min.js"></script>');
}
else
{
document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/clientscript/tfh/dispatcher-min.2.2.js"></script>');
document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/clientscript/yui/element/element-min.js"></script>');
document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/clientscript/yui/tabview/tabview-min.js"></script>');
}
//-->
</script>
<!-- /Tabbed Forum Home Header Code -->

Code:

> step4: find the code <!-- main --> in template FORUMHOMETAB replace whatsoever between <!-- main --> and <!-- /main --> with the following code:

<!-- main -->
{vb:raw template_hook.forumhome_above_forums}
<!-- Tabbed Forum Home -->
<div id="forumhome_container" style="margin-top:5px"> </div>
<script type="text/javascript"> {vb:raw eg_tfh} </script>
<!-- /Tabbed Forum Home  -->
{vb:raw template_hook.forumhome_below_forums}
<!-- /main -->

Code:

> Step5: find the template forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost and insert the following code on the top of it

######################### INSERT AT THE START >>> ---------------

<vb:if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT=='indexTFH' AND (in_array($forum['forumid'], $_REQUEST['tabcat']) OR in_array('all', $_REQUEST['tabcat']))) OR (THIS_SCRIPT=='forumdisplay') OR (THIS_SCRIPT=='index')">

######################### INSERT AT THE END >>> ------------

</vb:if>

Code:

> Step5: find the template forumhome_forumbit_level1_post and insert the following code on top of it as well:

######################### INSERT AT THE START >>> ---------------

<vb:if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT=='indexTFH' AND (in_array($forum['forumid'], $_REQUEST['tabcat']) OR in_array('all', $_REQUEST['tabcat']))) OR (THIS_SCRIPT=='forumdisplay') OR (THIS_SCRIPT=='index')">

######################### INSERT AT THE END >>> ------------

</vb:if>

now if your forums disappeared, then you did it right... and then all you have to do is to create tabs for your forums... READ the file How to Configure.txt

Cheers

This is only what I understand though; I believe this feature used if you are not going to change your forums or sub forums in each tab. meaning if you won't add or delete forums or sub forums, this feature is going to be useful and speed up the page loading...

how does it work?? it catches a copy of your forums and subforums in each tab this property used and re-use it again whenever a user reload the page; it works like a snapshot of your forum look, but never change anything even if you added new forums or subforums...

so it is always preferred to deactivate this feature if you have forums or subforums changed from time to time...

I hope this helps.

of course you. This mod if worked correctly, it will hid all forums till you create tab for each forum to show up... so you can hide all forums if you like and show only one forum...
