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)

Try replacing "mysql_escape_string" on lines 51,58,64 of includes/class_eg_tfh_yui.php with "$db->escape_string" or "$db->real_escape_string" and add line 43

	function javascript_code($container, $verify_usergroup = true)
	{
		global $db;
                $this->code .= "var " . $this->name . " = new YAHOO.widget.TabView();";

But remember the code and the linked yui library are from 2008-2011.

This in combination with adding "global $db;" on line 43 as you suggested fully fixed the problem. You sir, are a god.

Last question, is there any way I can make a few forums always visible on the forumhome, and have these tabbed forums below them?

I have attached an image and edited in photoshop what I actually want the result to be like.

Using {vb:raw forumbits} puts all the forums visible, so I don't think that works
