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

BTW.. I'm also running it on on a 4.1.10 forum and it works fine:

I recently full re-installed this.. It completely stopped working on 4.1.10.. None of the new tabs are being added, nor the "home" "what's new" , etc are disappearing when I set the options to hide it.

        if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
        {
            $vbphrase[unserialize(base64_decode("czoyMDoicG93ZXJlZF9ieV92YnVsbGV0aW4iOw=="))] .= '<br />Hacks por <a href="http://www.vbsoporte.com/" target="_blank">vBsoporte</a> - <a href="http://www.vbsoporte.com/foros/" target="_blank">vBulletin en Espa?ol</a>';
        }
        $yaexiste = 1;
    }

Replace with:

    /*if (!isset($yaexiste))
    {
        if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
        {
            $vbphrase[unserialize(base64_decode("czoyMDoicG93ZXJlZF9ieV92YnVsbGV0aW4iOw=="))] .= '<br />Hacks por <a href="http://www.vbsoporte.com/" target="_blank">vBsoporte</a> - <a href="http://www.vbsoporte.com/foros/" target="_blank">vBulletin en Espa?ol</a>';
        }
        $yaexiste = 1;
    }*/

Okay, this may qualify as the dumb question for the day/month/year...

In the installation instructions, it states:

Installation:
- Upload all files in the UPLOAD folder to the root of the forum
- Import the product 'product-evbs_sstab_advanced.xml'

Can someone advise exactly where these files are supposed to go? What specifically is the root of the forum? I know how to upload the first set of files, just don't know where to put them. A screenshot would be helpful.

Also, when it states import 'product-evbs_sstab_advance.xml' file, where exactly does that file go? Is importing the same process as uploading? Just want to be clear before I start this process.

Thanks!
Newbie

First, the zip/rar file you downloaded contains:

"sstab_advanced_205 -> upload -> bunch of files"

Upload the following directories:

admincp
includes

To your forum directory where you uploaded your forum files to start up the forums.

Before the "upload" directory, there's a file named: product-evbs_sstab_advanced.xml

Go to your AdminCP on the forums (example: http:/xxxxx.com/admincp)

Bottom left, you'll see "Plugins & Products", click it and then click on "Manage Products"

Scroll down, and you'll see "[Add/Import Product]", select the product-evbs_sstab_advanced.xml from your harddrive and import it. It's that simple .

The "Allow Overwrite" option you'll see when importing a product (plugin) is only needed if the same plugin already exists, but is outdated and wish to upload a newer version.

Thanks for the assistance...greatly appreciated. It works like a charm!

I've just updated my template and now have a problem with one of the tabs I created in this modification. see image.

I don't use the standard 'what's new' tab which came with VB so have that disabled, instead I created a whats new tab in this mod which shows the last 3 days worth of posts.

It has been working fine up until just now where I updated my template and used the remove orphan stylevar tool.

As you can see when clicked on the whats new button, the nav sub links jump up over the buttons, and all the nav bar tabs become unclickable.

anyone?

Theres a option in the options in admin cp to remove the copyright.
