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.

Hello,

Firstly - Very nice mod, Extremely useful.

I am having a problem with the sub menu - the default links are showing up on every tab, even over the top of custom sub links.

The "Home" tab is set to "http://MY_FORUM_URL/index.php" which is my vBAdvanced CMPS index page. It is not set to be a drop-down menu, Tab mode is THIS_SCRIPT, and THIS_SCRIPT is "adv_index".

I have created 3 sub links "Link 1", "Link 2", "Link 3", all set to "http://google.com/" to demonstrate the problem.
As you can see in the attached screenshot, the custom sub links are underneath the default sub links.

Help would be appreciated.

Hello, love the mod but I have having a small issue.

I have a tab: "Gallery", and it points to www.uscoininfo.com/gallery

It works fine, but the tab does not update correctly.

If I do URL_PARAM http://www.uscoininfo.com/gallery, no other tabs will highlight correct.

If I do URL HTTP://WWW.USCOININFO.COM/GALLERY it works fine, but if I go to a gallery like: http://www.uscoininfo.com/gallery/sh...rs.php?cat=500 it shows the activate tab as 'forum'.

Anyone have any ideas?

This works, but then if I go to any other tabs (Home, Forum, Blogs, Whats New?) the active tab will not change.

Will not change as in it stays with the "active background"?

I'm currently experiencing that.
Ideas?

GREAT MOD!

I'm not sure if this has already been mentioned, but this product caused a serious problem with my vb cms...it limited the amount of words I could put in any given article! I submitted a support ticket with vbulletin and they discovered that this mod was the cause. They switched off and the problem was rectified.

Any ideas why or how to fix it?

Yeah, if every mod did that, we'd all have footers 500 pixels in height. =)
