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)

Oh wow, this is blocking spider access? Just used a search engine spider simulator and it showed none of my forum links. Disabled product until fix. Thanks.

I think you have to use "all forum" module.

Yes it is possible, however you have to use this hack:

[Popa Andrei]

so with this y will create tabs like this forum has?

[Popa Andrei]

just installed it and y suggest that you make the tabs remain on all forum pages not only in FORUMHOME

[Popa Andrei]

In IE all forums are shown in all tabs (i am ussing mozzila)

[Popa Andrei]

Is this mode supported because if no one is fixing the bugs y will unnistall it

I've installed this. When I create a new tab with a certain category ID, it shows that category and its forums at the top, but then it also shows the rest of my forums below that. I only want that category to be showing, not the rest of my board as well.

I seem to having the same issue as a few others, all the forums seem to show regardless of the cat ID i chose.

I know it shows the child forums as well, but it also shows every single other forum I have on my forum below that. It duplicates that category and sub-forums and moves it too the top.
