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)

Bobster65,
Is there any way to have this installed however if you have an announcement category and an off topic category they always appear (like you helped me set up on vb3.x)

So it looks a little like:
Announcement Category
FORUM TABS - Tab 1, Tab 2 etc
Off Topic Category

So no matter which tab they select the announcement and off topic categories always show, one above and one below the selectable tabs.

Is it also possible to have it where they select a tab and instead of it displaying some forums it's actually information so for example:
Have a tab for COMMUNITY FEATURES
and when they click on them it is just an information page that displays that outlines all of the forum features.

Please pm me if this can be done (and to discuss some sort of payment/donation if required)

It can only be done with categories not subforums why? Because that is the way the coder wanted it.

If I add a subforum ID, the subforum isn't visualized in the tab...

It works for 4.1 PL2. I have it installed and I love it!

[Gursimran]

awesome mod, bookmarked.

Is there anyway to make one of the tabs for just new posts? Kind of steal the feed it uses for vBForum_Post in the what's new page, or the getdaily in the dailys posts page?

If so i'd love to figure out out, anybody with an answer i'd really appreciate it!!
