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

Yea there is definitely a glitch when you have multiple dropdowns. I had one drop down added successfully and everything was fine. I added a new one and my first one disappeared. My new one inherited the links of the old one. I can't seem to have two dropdowns at once.

I hope this is fixed because I am absolutely loving this hack! Thanks!

please, delete the tabs menu and child that you create witch version 2.0, the error do thaty the sublink became in Tabs Drop Down

You can Create many TABS and many MENU TABS with my hack

por obvious reason, only Internal Page (with THIS SCRIPT) can have Sublink

Look my TEST forum

I'm sorry I didn't understand much of what you just said but I have realized that it works. It seems that I have to create them in the order that I want them. I tried to make a new menu item with a drop down, but then place it with a lower display order number and it messed everything up. If I make a new menu dropdown second, it must display second. So yea... it works but there is a small issue there.

On your test forum, move your 3rd menu (manager 4) to be position with a lower display number than the 1st one (miembros). Can you let me know if you have the same issue I do with that?

Thanks buddy

I just upgraded to version 2.01 and I'm having some wierd stuff happen with adding sub-menus to tabs. I can add a tab, then when I add a sub-menu the tab disappears.

[PcGamer]

I just tried it and i have an issue,
only your premade tabs are highlighted, mine the one i created isn't

same problem for me
