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)

Any progress on getting this working with Hasans subforum manager m. the two together are a great combo mod... best info architecture system available for vB, that I can see

I have not had time to look into the issues with Hasans sub forum manager. I've had weird results with it.... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

However, Cyb (now known as Valtar) just released his version of sub forum manager and it works fine with TFH. Just upload his xml, make the setting changes you want and it displays just fine within the tabs...

correct... if you set a category display to 0, it hides that category from the forum home, so the same thing applies with TFH.. if a cat is set to 0 it will not display on forum home. I use the core forumhome functions currently. This will be changed in the next major version.

Hi bobster65, I posted earlier in this thread about this mod not working with the chatboxes available. I could not get it to work but now have it working with the latest chatbox version of the VSa - ChatBox. I apologise I never got back to you but I placed this on the back burner for a bit.

It is great to have this mod back in gear again after I always used it on vB 3.0 series. Thankyou again very much for bringing this mod back to life for the 4.0 series. This mod is handy in so many ways and I can not wait for the better updates coming.

Works on 4.0.2 for me.

OK, here's a good one for you!

I have installed the product, love it! Thank you!

But I just found something really quirky!

If any single forum category has 12 or more forums, neither that category NOR the All Categories module will display???

And to make it really interesting - ONLY inInternet Explorer!! Firefox works just fine..

Good luck with that one
