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)

Nevermind. I got it. Just re-add the original code removed from the FORUMHOME template between the <noscript></noscript> tags.

This actually will affect SEO from what I see. Here is a link to my Google cache.

I'm considering deleting this completely unless. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Well then you code something. It is not the job of modification designers to make their mods compatible with every single thing on the internet. They can't hold your hand for you.

Their job is to add further functionality to the site and that is what this mod has done.

Any updates to this to get it running on the new versions of 4.x?

I was considering this mod but have 1 question
Will this work with the sub forum manager found here==> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=229148 ?

Does this modification work properly for 4.0.4? It runs perfect for 4.0.3 for me, but I am just curious before I upgrade.

Thanks in advance.

I have this working on 4.0.4 without much problems.

To solve the SEO issue I modified the 2nd template edit to

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, usergroupid1,usergroupid2)">
- New forum template edit 2 code -
<vb:else />
- Old forum template edit 2 code -
</vb:if> 


and excluded "Non Registered" members from the usergroupid list.

One problem I'm having is the All Forums module is showing all my forums to everyone, including the forums that aren't suppose to be visible to normal users (Do not have viewing permissions). How can I fix this? This is a serious privacy problem for me.

+1 vote for checking Additional Usergroups on the tabs

Im on 4.04 and followed all the instructions. Im also using vbseo 3.5.1 if that makes a difference.

Anyways after doing the full setup of the plugin, all my categories/forums have now disappeared.

Any idea why?
