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.

The Hack only use 1 SQL sentence to create All the Menu, no Template edition

Only issue I see is the style doesn't really work well. A tab has a text change when hovered over, but the entire button doesn't change. If the button is at the far right, its far right edge is black instead of white. It just doesn't match well.

This is all on a default VB4 style.

Yep i am running 4.0.4 also and have no problems with it at all.
Not sure why others would be actually. But i can confirm as cmiller1014 did that it works fine in latest.

Did you guys have to do anything to create the db table for it?

ok I'm a cock! I imported it as a style

Great mod ... but two BIG oustanding issues which no one here seems to be pointing out:

Both involve Internet Explorer (and before you say it ... "we don't use Internet Explorer" ... it's not about "us" ... it's about the users out there that might be using it).

Anyway ...

(1) In Internet Explorer, the width of the drop-down expands to the width of the browser window. This does not seem to be a problem in Firefox.

(2) In both Internet Explorer and Firefox ... the dropdowns will get hidden behind some objects, like some widgets.

Actually the IE problem width drop down problem has been highlighted by quote a few people in this thread already.

Now that there's this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228507
But tht's also because sublinks aren't an issue for me.

[ArchAngelz]

That mod is not able to create tab-lists dropdowns right?
