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)

Hmm, I just encountered a compatibly problem with "vB4: SuperCharged 1.3" when "Enable Javascript Optimiser" is enabled.

I guess this is related to the script files not being hosted locally anymore?

Any thoughts on this please?

I don't get it. Its FASTER for your users AND it puts less strain on your server. vB doesn't use the full YUI Library and they modify their version of YUI Tabview, so no. Feel free to modify it to use what ever you want to tho. Like I said in the Upgrade doc, if you'd rather put the files on your server, then do so. If there is the same version of a specific file in the current clientscript/yui and you want to point to that instead, do it. Just make sure the versions are all compatible with each other and remain in the same order of call.

I'll check this out.

forumhome_forumbit_level1_post
forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost

Those are the templates that do the output and I didn't make any changes to them, so I am not sure why they don't work right now (cept if their is some sorta CSS conflict that I don't see right off).
