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

My bad, yeah mine only hides the whats new, i dont use cms or blog, forum doesnt hide...

[mc0676]

Exaclty ... does not hide forum

[biancolaw]

I'm currently using this with 4.1.1 and most of it seems to work fine...but as others have posted, we can't get rid of the forum button.

It would seem hiding forum is more complicated now or something as I had asked how to get rid of it by itself and the vb.com mods mentioned something about dependencies?

[stickskills]

Fixed.

What does it take to remove the branding from all pages for commercial use?

[smnet]

This is 100% untested, but looking at the raw output of the navbar template on a stock board it should hopefully work. 4.1.1+ now uses a template runtime method to build the forumhome link so I have adjusted the plugin accordingly.

To get the forum to hide (on a DEFAULT 4.1.1) navbar template, try this:-

Go to plugin manager.... edit the Insertando Tabs plugin.

Find:

        $buscar[0] = '<li class="selected"><a class="navtab" href="\' . $vboptions[\'forumhome\'] . \'.php\' . $session[\'sessionurl_q\'] . \'">\' . vB_Template_Runtime::parsePhrase("forum") . \'</a>';
        $buscar[1] = '<li><a class="navtab" href="\' . $vboptions[\'forumhome\'] . \'.php\' . $session[\'sessionurl_q\'] . \'">\' . vB_Template_Runtime::parsePhrase("forum") . \'</a></li>';

Replace with:

        $buscar[0] = '<li class="selected"><a class="navtab" href="\' . vB_Template_Runtime::linkBuild("forumhome") . \'">\' . vB_Template_Runtime::parsePhrase("forum") . \'</a>';
        $buscar[1] = '<li><a class="navtab" href="\' . vB_Template_Runtime::linkBuild("forumhome") . \'">\' . vB_Template_Runtime::parsePhrase("forum") . \'</a>';

I MUST STRESS, I am not in a position to test this.... I am NOT the Mod author.... AND if this doesnt work then I CANT support you.

Hi, thanks for this mod, to me it works perfectly in 4.1.1 but I notice two small mistakes, so now that you're going to update the comment:

1 - Do not go away tab
2 - In the pages that are created by vBadvanced 4.0.1, brands such as tabs that hide, do not get to hide.

I hope you can include any improvements to these two issues, and again thank you for your work.

PD: No me manejo muy bien con el ingles, e escrito lo que me ha traducido google. Un saludo!!!

[Jhonnyf]

Ok, I update this to work with vb 4.1.1

I'm Add the option to use varphase (many languages in your forum), the rule is:
* If you put a name (vbphrase) then use this like TITLE, but only if this exist... else use the TITLE (like always)

I come back in 5 hours and Upload the new version
