Forum Display Enhancements - Tabs Add System for vBulletin 4 (sstab advanced)

Review:
This mod allows you to easily add and remove tabs on the navigation bar using the adminCP. Tabs can appear as "selected" after being clicked, automatically deselecting the other tabs.
You also have the option of indicating which groups are allowed and not allowed to see the tabs via usergroup id.
Tabs may operate as normal select tabs, as drop-down menus. or as links to external sites.

I hope everyone will encourage the developer on this project. He is filling a great need! I just sent some money which is several times bigger than the requested amount, but represents a fraction of the time I would have spent hacking away on this.

My main request for the future is I'd like the ability to manage the subtabs under the cardinal tabs (Forum, Home, etc.) and possibly rename those tabs as well. Of course, I could over-write them and re-create them, but this might be faster.

I also did not get a chance to check out menus on the subtabs (like under Forum).

All-in-all the developer has found a sweet spot to add value.

Thank You for you donation, and see the code again (ver 2.0.2), I use another king of Algoritme base on TREE Array

Uber mod this, i like it verry much.

I got only one question:

I use for example "forumdisplay.php?333" as menu tabs but then i cant get it highlighted, does someone got a idea how to highlight that cause it has no THIS_SCRIPT.

Still its a verry good hack.

Thank you!
