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

Review:
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.
Tabs may operate as normal select tabs, as drop-down menus. or as links to external sites.

I have one tab on my menu that is a Menu Tab, which is a drop-down menu. It's the last menu item called Shortcuts.

Just wondering if this one is fixable.

Hi Folks -
I need help getting this installed (in v4.0.3)
Here's what I did.

I copied the following 2 files to the server
- cpnav_evbs_sstab.xml (in folder: /public_html/includes/xml)
- evbs_sstabs.php (in folder: /public_html)

Then... I installed the product in admincp by pointing to the 'product-evbs_sstab_advanced.xml' file.

When I saved the product, I now see 4 rows (in a section of the left nav in admincp)... each starting with the text 'evbs_sstab_advanced_menu'. But I don't know how to use these. And also, I'm receiving a database error when I click a couple of them.

Please help.
In plain English.

Thanks !

[vilhiem]

The dropdowns are being "hidden" behind any plugins.

Can this be resolved somehow ...?

Thnx!!!

I'm getting this problem too, and even when I uninstall the mod, the admincp navigation for this mod stays there. Can anyone help me get this working or, at least, help me get rid of this side navigation?

EDIT: Nevermind, fixed it.

jdrakopo, did you press the import button for the xml before saving the product? I did that and it was fixed after I imported the xml properly. Just go back to manage products -> add/import product and reimport the xml.

On another note, love this mod! Thanks!

[jdrakopo]

This looks like a wonderful extension.
But I couldn't get it to work and I've been a programmer for some years.
Any chance I can talk to someone who's gotten this working ?

I'm going to be honest, and mean no disrespect to the mod author by posting this, but I got tired of waiting for fixes on this. I even tried PMing the author, but got no response. I found a similar mod that lets you build the entire navbar however you want, including tabs, drop downs, links and drop down link menus. It costs 40 bucks, but Wolfshead Solutions has a Tab and Link Manager and he'll give you support for a year (you can still use it after the year, just can't get support apparently). I'm going to cut out the hassle and just buy his mod. I know that's not an option for everyone, and I hope this post isn't breaking any rules, but I thought other people should know about the alternative.

Just installed this, working perfect with me

Gracias to the developer

Can I edit where the home button takes me?
