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)

Just wondering if this could have an impact on SEO, indexed pages and rankings.

On my end - even with vbSEO, sitemap generation etc - we had a noticable drop in most search engine indexes. I?m just trying to find out, if TFH could add some to the SEO problems we?ve encountered even when there are plenty of other good and better reasons in first place, that can lead over time to a significant drop in SE.

Anyone who has experienced something similiar?

This worry is what's stopped me trying this mod out.

Anyone have this working on VB 4.2 yet?

A few people said it's working on 4.2.2 PL 3 & 4. But still do it at your own risk.

[S]I'm also seeing nothing in 4.2.2 Patch Level 4. I've added a couple of tabs in Could I be missing a setting? Help would be greatly appreciated.

I used this before upgrading and I know it's a great mod! [/S]

Nevermind, I'll just figure something else out. It's a shame because it's a really nice mod.

There is no way to speed up the loading during open tab forum ?
"Loading Tab Content..."
