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.

The Hack only use 1 SQL sentence to create All the Menu, no Template edition

New install of 4.0.6. This works, but it will not remove the 'What's new' button.

[RichieBoy67]

I tried using the sample provided in the initial post for the pop up window for the chat and it did work to an extent. It actually caused the same problem I am having with my other window code. It is not logging users in.

I think this mod is awesome for adding certain links but I think windows etc should be done manually instead unless the author has any work arounds that work better than the above..

Thanks

I have a strange instance. I checked to remove the Home tab, but it did not go away. Any idea why this might be?

Upgraded to 204a, and it works.

Nice mod, thank you.

Yeah I just upgraded to 4.06, but this Home tab not going away was happening in 4.05 as well for me.

the new tabs are not staying highlighted after I clicked on it. How can I solve this?

I have the same issue.

I modified the plugin so now drop-down tabs will highlight using THIS_SCRIPT method.

If anyone wants it, can email me at endspam.forever(MIDDLE@)gmail.com

[abroad]

can you not upload it on vbulletin.org?

[neopets]

@Abroad, I don't want to hijack his mod. I'm not sure if it's within the rules to upload a modified version.
