Forum Display Enhancements - Tabs Add System for vBulletin 4 (sstab advanced)

This mod allows you to easily add and remove tabs on the navigation bar using the adminCP. Tabs can appear as "selected" after being clicked, automatically deselecting the other tabs.
You also have the option of indicating which groups are allowed and not allowed to see the tabs via usergroup id.

You can add
<img src="path_of_image" border="0" align="top" alt="" />
before the title of tab. path_of_image is where you define where your image is

Jhonny, you are a life saver! Thank you for this amazing addon!

I have one question though... On my CMS, I've added a new tab called "Arcade" but when I click on it, (it goes to arcade) but it highlights "Forum" Check out what i mean by clicking on "Arcade" on my site- http://www.audioneeds.com

Installed. Nice mod.

I have a question (and I apologize if it's already been asked), but is there any way to load a tabs sub-links without going to another page?

IE: I've a tab with sub-links named 'blah'. I click 'blah' and rather than taking me anywhere it'll just load up a new batch of sub-links and highlight the blah tab.

Thanks.

Hi thanks for the great mod.... The only problem I am having is I can't figure out our to hide the "What's New" tab.

Thanks for any help you could offer!

[CoZmicShReddeR]

Is there anyways you could add an option to add icons for the tabs maybe even colors?

Unfortunately when we upgraded to 4.0.3 the "what's New" tab re-appeared and the button in the AdminCP for "VbSuporte Tabs" did not turn it off.

I searched and found this hack which turned off the "What's new: tabs completely;

[dieKetzer]

this mod is in limbo right now. you may experience issues (cant disable whats new, etc) when using it on vb 403.
if youre having problems with tabs not selecting, the forum tab auto-selecting when it shouldnt, etc, please read post #3.

i tried setting up a fb connect tab to link to the following url
/profile.php?do=fbb

i wanted the sub menu to have all 2 of the following.
/profile.php?do=fbb
/profile.php?do=fbb_invite
/profile.php?do=fun&list=fan

any tips on how to set it up? when i set it up it doesn't highlight the fb connect tabi created. it goes to the page but the highlighted tab remains the forum tab and its sub menu.

i need it to change to fb connect tab and give me the sub menu i created.

any tips?

thanks

Just upgraded to vb4.0.3 and now dropdown tab alignment is WAY off. Instead of dropping down, it just expands from the middle - so half of the menu shoots up through the roof of the website, and half shoots down. Any fixes for this??
