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 just installed this mod and if you hadn't pointed that out I probably wouldn't have noticed in a long time..!

Anyone else spotted this and fixed it..? I started going over the whole thread but 64 pages is ALOT..!

Thanks for any help.

surprisingly, I just found out that this mod cause a lot of invalid arguments. when validating the forumhome page, you will notice bunch of warnings and errors. This mainly kills the First Byte Time which massively effect on your forumhome page load speed.

I hope there is someone who can solve these issues...

[S]Update: I feel I'm very lucky today. I could solve the issues in 3 mins. all you need to do is to go to the plugin manager/ Product : EG: Tabbed Forum Home /

edit only the first hook: name:Create Tabs, location: forumhome_complete

change the following:

PHP Code:

'&'; 


to

PHP Code:

'&'; 


you will need to do that for two variables and save the work. And you are done with this plugin issues...

Good luck

Update: it turned out that & can't be replaced in our case since the code in .php not html. if html, things would be different.

Very disappointing that this doesn't work with 4.21. I just took the time to install it but nothing is showing up. Too bad. Looked like it would have been a nice mod.

Just like Bubble #5, I also cannot get this to work with 4.2.1. I get the same result... nothing shows up. Been looking for something exactly like this.

The answer to your question is no, it's not supported. However I think I may have found a mad that does work (fingers crossed)

I'll post the link if it works on 4.2.1.
