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

That's just default, you won't change that without changing the vB code.

installed

thanks for this

I need to add a ?u=userid parameter to a url, i've tried using template syntax and also via the vBulletin method but whatever I use is not parsed..... do you think could be possible as I have hit a limitation in my set up.

Thanks

EDIT: Nevermind.... I have figured out a way with a small plugin edit
I can now use {u} or {s} in urls which get replaced by userid and securitytoken respectively.

Cracking mod .... but
it could do with some extra bits
which are :-
To edit the all original tabs rather than just disable the known tabs .. for example you can install a mod that adds a tab which may not give you the tab text you want the ability to edit that text and perhaps what it does would be good ,, so you could move the original tab to a pull down

But I did find a bug .. if your tab has a pull down and the style has been altered the tab text can be blanked out and the tab hover colour does not alter ... so the last selected non pull down tab appears to still hold focus (via the colour) rather than the pull down tab ... if you need to look I'll give you details to the site so you can see it in action.

Jim,

Do what I did, disable all the default tabs in the config and build up you own from scratch!

[bpi007]

It seems that author forgot to update version number

[tdkmatt]

which one do we download that works with 4.1.1? sstab_advanced_205.zip????

[Kochleffel]

my whole site crashes when i install later than 2.03, thought there is the solution but not worked out.
