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 have installed it in vBulletin 4.2.0 Patch Level 3, but show every cat in every tabs.

p.s. Before my forum disappeared, and i see correctly the menu.

-- resolved, forget one step in installation --

A little help please. I followed the instructions and made the template edits; however, nothing has changed on my forum.

I've checked and checked and rechecked and can't seem to find the issue. Any advice on why it would not be working after installed?

Thank you,

Call me an idiot but I just had difficulty following the instructions. What I particularly missed was I was copying and pasting code to the FORUMHOMETAB template.

That was not correct, you do not make any edits to the FORUMHOMETAB! Instructions related to this confused me.

It's installed and I edited the css to fit my forum.

Please check out my Outdoor Forum and let me know what you think

Thank you!

Is it possible to put an image on the ends of the tab bar? I just want to put rounded ends on the bar so it blends in more with my template.

I'm running vBulletin 4.2.1 and have this product installed and it's working out fine, with two exceptions. Although the forum categories are collapsible, I have two products that have output blocks above the tabs that are not collapsible. They are collapsible if I disable the Tab product. The products are PhotoPost Pro (v8.3) and VSa - ChatBox (v3.1.8). Any idea how to fix this?

I also noticed that there is a conflict with bf-latest topics ajax mod and thing never go right unless you choose to have the latest topics mod to display on top of footer.

Hi,
Did you find a solution for the recent topics ajax mod? Same issue in my forum, and I've put them down, although they're useful up as first things to see on my forum.
If you've found a solution, please let me know.

Very awesome looking mod. Please update for 4.2.1

[STR8H8TEx]

tabs arent showing up on my site. anyone else having this prob or know how to fix it?

[mlotziii]

@STR8H8TEx -- I had the same problem and found this was the solution:

Where it says:

NOTE: IF YOU HAVE CUSTOM <!-- main --> through <!-- /main --> CODE, YOU WILL NEED TO COPY IT AND REPLACE THE DEFAULT CODE IN THE FORUMHOMETAB TEMPLATE

It really means FORUMHOME ... try that and it should work.
