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)

As there was no point for me to use the collapse since all categories are tabs, I created a plugin at forumhome_start to disable the collapse button, and I simply put in it

PHP Code:

$show['collapsable_forums'] = true; 


Suggestion: It would be nice to add the tab colors class in stylevar

[Lionel]

Actually it was not necessary to add the stylevar. I simply removed the css block in the file and added this in forumhome head

<style type="text/css">
.yui-navset .yui-nav .selected a,
.yui-navset .yui-nav a:focus,
.yui-navset .yui-nav a:hover {
background:{vb:stylevar forumhead_background};
color:{vb:stylevar forumhead_color};
</style>

Hi Bobster, I thought I'd let you know. You have a major bug in there. In plugin forumhome_complete you are checking for $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] instead of $vbulletin->userinfo['membergroupids']

so later on in the class_yui.php the explode(",", $tab['limitTo']) is checking for only the primary group, causing the ones with secondary usergroups not to view the tab.

I fixed my copy, but in my opinion this mod is way too nice for me to remain silent.

My solution is not the final solution. It works for me as I only have one secondary usergroup, the customer group.

A permanent solution would be to send just the $vbulletin->userinfo array and to replace the call with

if (is_member_of($this->usergroup, $tab['limitTo']))

Does this work on 4.0.5?

Is there still a "slowness" issue when clicking the tabs and the forums appearing?

Has the Developer abandoned this project like many others do?

This works perfectly fine on 4.0.5. I installed it yesterday. You can check it by clicking on my signature. Really looks good.

OK so I have this installed on vb 4.05 and when I creates the tabs I have an issue where not matter what cat id I use "ALL" my forums show up inder all my tabs? What am I doing wring?

Thanks, i'm going to instal it on my test site then and check it out. Yours seems a lot quicker than others when clicking on the tabs.

Does anyone know how I make pictures in the tabs?

Just disable the module.

I just install this mod on a install vB Suite 4.0.6
The mod works without problem with the first tab (defaut tab).
I try to add a second tab, but in the place of the popup successfull, i obtain a empty popup and the second tab is not add.
Any idea?
