Forum Home Enhancements - [AJAX] Tabbed Forum Home

Tabbed Forum Home version 1.01

[AJAX] Tabbed Forum Home version 1.5.0 (BETA)

NOTE: Works with both 3.7x and 3.6x

Description: This MOD is for creating a "Tabbed" Forum Home Page to have Categories displayed within Tab containers (similar to what the new Profile System looks like on vb3.7). 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 without leaving the main forums page.

I wrote the initial Non AJAX version based on reading many requests from members asking about how namepros created their custom tabbed forum home page. The first implementation I did was a request by bbwforums.net (which you can visit to see a working example). I have shared this version with many members already and decided to release it since it seems to be something that a lot of members are interested in.

UPDATE: I have released a BETA [AJAX] version for those that what something a little more robust and easier to install/configure. This Beta version will never go into production tho as version 2.0 will utilize the YUI AJAX Tabview Toolset. It IS stable tho and is currently running on a few live sites.

NOTE: Keep in mind, I wrote this with the assumption that you are fairly well versed and comfortable with editing files/templates and following the flow of things. If there is something you don't understand, PLEASE let me know so that I can help you understand it. This IS NOT a product that a novice can just plug and play and it takes a little bit of time to setup, but its well worth it in the end (if you want a custom unique look to your forum home page)... the next version (Don't ask when, cause its just on the drawing board) will be a product with ACP controls for easy setup

The attached Zip File(s) contain the Files and Instructions necessary to install each version.

Hey bobster and KK,

I know exactly WHY people are getting pissy.

They just love your guy's mod a lot, and from the screenshot, IT IS DEFINETLY A VERY VERY GOOD MOD.

I got mad at times because it was announced about a month or two ago that 2.0 was done and i really want this mod badly like other people on my site xD.

but i thought about it - its all up to you guys, we all have lives.

thanks more making such a cool mod ^_^

[ArnyVee]

From those screenshots...that looks beautiful KK!

I can't wait to get my hands on it and start doing some work on my site

Thank you for the update and we'll hope to hear from you soon!

[SemperFideles]

Thanks for the hard work guys. I've been waiting for this Mod for some time. It will be huge when it's released.

[SteamyLightning]

Great news if the bug is fixed.

I'll be awaiting the release. Keep up the good work, guys.

I could make use of that too come to think of it
Feature for 2.1 (or 3.0) perhaps?

[gamerfu]

Will the next release 2.0 have less edits? Will 2.0 be a [AJAX] version?

I am looking forward to the 2.0 modification. No rush!

[6piston]

anyone found the way to re-include "number of users browsing this forum" for each forum when using the Ajax Tabbed Forumhome?

Any help will be appreciated

Thanks!
Tom
