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

Great mod, works fine on 4.2 also for me.
I have a issue. Is possible to change the clickable dropdown menu with a overmouse?
Change the number of columns in the dropdown menu? default puts everything under one column, I would that lets up to 5 items on a conna, higher puts them in a second column ... is it possible?
Sorry for my english

How do I add new tabs? I don't see the option

[MonkYZ]

Great mod! But for me, if i select Yes for "Hide "HOME" tab?" it's still showing me the HOME button. Is there any other way to disable this?

[Bounce]

I've uninstalled but in the lower navbar I have this still showing....

#menu_nzg5_677#

Well i have loved this mod for a long time.
Had an issue for a long time also.
Could never get the sub menus to the color i wanted.
Finally worked it out.
It seems to call the color here.

 $navbar_selected_popup_body_a_Color = $vbulletin->stylevars['navbar_selected_popup_body_a_Color']['color'];

Now i dont have navbar_selected_popup_body at all.
So changed it to ['white'] and the problem is finally fixed.

My question is...
Is this an error in the mod or is my forum missing the needed templates?

[GeorgeB85]

I set up a tab sublink, but it is not displaying on the page at all.

Is this mod obsolete now with the addition of the Navigation Manager in 4.2.0?
