Forum Home Enhancements - [YUI] Tabbed Forum Home

[YUI] Tabbed Forum Home (TFH) version 4.0.8
vBulletin version: 4.1.11 - 4.2.0
Older versions need original mod for now

Description:
This MOD is for creating a "Tabbed" Forum Home Page to have Categories and other Data types (via Modules) displayed within Tab containers. 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 via AJAX without leaving the main forums page.

This is an entirely new version of TFH and only works with vB4. Management is all done via the Admin CP.

Installation is done in 3 simple steps. Upload files, Import product, 3 easy Template Edits.

Setup is now a breeze via the Tabs option in the Admin CP.

The attached Zip File contains the Files and Instructions necessary to install.

Incompatible mods
Two columns of categories - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=275114

Upgrading to 4.0.7+ from previous versions
We have had to change the mod's id which means when you install this time you will have 2 mods, the new version with its new id and the old version.
Both can run side by side but shouldnt to save processing time.

To migrate:
Install the latest version and upload all the files (no conflicts to worry about)
Install the latest product xml
Follow the template changes in the upgrade txt
Create your tabs in the new admincp menu option "EG: Tabbed Forum Home" to mirror the existing "Tabbed Forum Home" menu.
Once done uninstall the product "Tabbed Forum Home" with productid bobster_tfh (old mod id)

wll you could make it so you select witch styles it gets installed on??

Also what about the SEO side? does it affect it at all.

Did I just miss --THIS HACK DOESN'T WORK of v.4.0.1?

I hate having ADD...

I so want this to work... It is *Perfect* for my forums, a Godsend.

But not working right on vB.4.0.1... right? Ughhhhh.....

Awaiting the next version... It's a thing of beauty...

It works fine on 4.0.1 and was released based on 4.0.1 if anything it will have problems on version lower than 4.0.1

I just looked at your site, you have some funky template issues. First, it appears that you have two main outputs on your FORUMHOME Template. Can't tell if that is because you have it placed once on FORUMHOME and FORUMHOMETAB, but its messed up. I'd have to take a look at your template edits to see what is going on.

Great Work !!! This one realy rocks. Keep it up

Hope next Version is with better Seo Support.

Hello Bobster,

I have this installed on vb4 and vbacmps4. When I integrate a page with modules from vba the tab system disappears. Any idea?

Thanks,

That I'll have to look into. I have not messed around with the new vBa yet. Might have some time this weekend to slap it on one of my dev instances and take a look. Is integration just like it was before? if so, you might try and add "indexTFH" in the "this script" part of it to see if that makes it work.
