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 have the same issue. I am using a transparent skin. But the tabbed forums are white. Can anyone suggest how to fix it.

Is it possible to get the tabs showing in other forums (sub forums?), not just the main forum display?

Same here...

Any update on this?

I tried the dbtech one, but the tabs are far from appealing and tbh, it looks a bit......cheap, too bunched up. If they were in simple, clean tabs like this one, then maybe i'd keep it

I agree MrsTryst, dbtech mods are not exactly known for their aesthetic appeal LOL I've had to delete at least 3 of them because of this. Unfortunately I don't think this one will be updated, but that doesn't mean a coder isn't working on a new tabbed mod now. I'll keep my eyes open for you, and if I see anything I'll post a link for you here

i dont know if its been asked for already but is it possible to allow users to set forum they want to display in a "My Forums" tab ?? also when adding the forums to the tabs it wont show any below the parent unless the parent is in the forum ids box.

Dragon Byte has an amazing mod that does just that. It allows forum members to add theirfavorite forums into one drop down tab that you can create from the admin cp.

It's not free but it is robust and very granular.

Thanks.
