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've got a Non AJAX version of this that is SEO friendly, but I doubt I will release it. Im not a fan of vB4 series, so I've had a hard time getting into the spirit of doing anything serious for vB4 and lately. If someone (or someones) take this over, I'd be open to sharing all the versions that I have of this to include the jQuery versions and non AJAX versions.

A jquery version would be very interesting.

Why not put up a lite and a pro version, I certainly would be willing to pay for the pro SEO friendly.

Just a thought for you or any other GOOD coder.......

I think this mod is great. Works well for my forum.

Im spreading myself to thin with everything I've got going on. Doing customizations for vB, vivvo and now XF. Both vivvo and XF are OOP and thats where I spend most of my time which is why I've considered letting someone else take this over, but I want to find someone that is capable of taking it over and taking care of it... ya know? If I can't find that person(s), then I will try my best to keep it updated.
