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)

Seems to be working good on 4.0.2 the problems are under 4.0.3

I've not even looked into 4.0.3 yet, so I am sure that there are problems with using this and 4.0.3. What those are I won't know until I have time to look into it. If you want to PM me with the issues (detailed please) you are having with 4.0.3 feel free to do so. That way when I do have time, I have some detailed things to look at right away. Thank you.

Due to some d/b issues I was encountering, I uninstalled all my plugins - including this one. However, now that my d/b issues are resolved, I went to reinstall this. Upon trying to install, it claims the tables already exist as if it hadn't been uninstalled.

What can i do to get this installed again, please?

Sorry for the delay, its working in 4.0.3, just create a loop if you choose too many forum id's to set as default, this cause IE to crash.

Did try the same table on 4.0.2 and didnt crashed (didn't add or took any forum id to test)

So maybe some sort of limitation on ID, or maybe the forum add some wrong link, at the moment i think that could be also a issue...

If i get more info / details i let you know.

Working great on my 4.0.3 forums. The tabs are always collapsed and I'd like to change that. I'll look through the forums and see if it is possible...haven't really looked into it yet.

[Mikelito]

Its work on 4.0.3.....but if I want change style??

[Mikelito]

Ohhhhhh we can change the style of the tabs in the file skin-tfh.css

[murekhalir]

I'm having issues - the tabs work out perfect, however they do not show until you actually click one of the tabs.

example:

wargamingtv.com/forum.php

if you could see, the forums dont actually show on the tabs until you click them, is there anyway to have them show by default?

[Rahstyles]

Bobster you find a fix for vb4.0.3 yet?
