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)

I installed this, but when it was done and I created my first tab, my forum homepage only showed the tab in the closed position. You have to click on the tab to open it up. I'd like it so that first tab is opened by default. I can't use it in it's current state.

[Froggfish]

will there be a version that works in the CMS to?

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooo found a small bug. Appears that when you have the forum sidebar suppressed, it doesn't reformat the forumhome layout and keeps it crunched up like the forumbar is being displayed even though it has been suppressed.

Does this hack need much ressources? How many queries does it produce for example?

Is there any SEO disadvantage?

[andreamarucci]

Installed in my test forum to test it. Wonderful job!

I figured it out of the 3.8 version but what part do we edit to make the tabs actually sit on top of the forums instead of having a gap between them ?

I can see it will be either the tabview.css or the skin-tfh.css but cant see what part does it ?

works like a treat, but i have found another bug.

if you set a tab up for s specific usergroup, it only shows the tab to the primary users of that tab and not the additional users to that group

[Merjawy]

I am not seeing anything

new installed on test site with default style nothing added

There is an error message on stats bar with the second edit of FORUMHOME (! Error on page)

I see the different tabs but no forums showing at all, not even with the built in All Forums tab

I only have 1 hiden and 1 visible categories/forums (the default install)

I double checked all the template edit

[ManagerJosh]

Did you remember to set the default tab? It works here quite well.
