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)

Looking very nice!

Will you release a 3.8 version as well? Could use that

Yes, I will also release a new version for 3.8. Probably won't be for another few days tho.

Thanks! Appreciate that!

Installed. Not sure how it will go over with my board. We've done a good job in the past of not having a lot of forums so it didn't clutter up the place. This will give us more flexibility there, but right now it just makes it look bare. lol

Install and working perfectly.
Also like to report that this does not conflict with Sorky's sub-forum manager either.

This is GREAT.

Thanks,

Is there any way for this to apply forum permissions as well?

Like I have several hidden forums, but restricted to different usergroups, but I want to put them all in one tab.

Hi,

sounds great. One question as I don`t have installed 4.1 yet: will the active tab be remembered if you leave the forum home and return to it e. g. with the back button of the browser?

all the best,
Sacha
