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)

Replied,
The fix involved removing the background colour set for the tab content area which in the css was set white but really needn't be.

Is it possible to pull in single forum (forumdisplay) in each tab so that I can make a site like vb.org. I read through about 17 pages and didn't yet find it.

Thanks and ofcourse, this is a great MOD.

Hi, I now are implementing and testing another feature to my particular modification.
I have the idea to put code isntead forums. This is very usefull to put banners, functiones, widgets or anything that you need. I the example I put a little google map.



Regards

Yes, it?s possible.
You must put in a tab all the categories you need.
You need to decide what are the thematic of each tab and put the categories in consecuence.

[reddyink]

Thanks for the reply. I just have one category and would like level 2 forumdisplay.php displayed with threads (threadbits) instead of list of categories/forums.

Inside the tab, I would like have threads like

Thank you.

No it's not, sorry. Not really even sure what you said past yes, but it's not. Not that I can tell anyway.


Anyone who has this installed, try and collapse one of your cats. From what I can tell, clicking collapse blows up your sites style. Try it and see.

Most of these files for this mod are years old. It may work somewhat but is it using the latest fixes and updates in line with vb? I'm not sure.

I don't believe most all of this CSS is needed either.
