Seems link there ar no menus available in this tab?
You must first create a menu before you can select it as a tab menu.

The current build does no longer show this option if no menus are available.

Congratulations you've found a bug

This should be fixed in the current build.

A new build of Beta 3 has been uploaded that should fix those two issues.

Thanks for the update. The ADD Heading and Add HTML are showing up in the menu for me now, also.

[Boofo]

I spoke too soon. I get this db error when trying to add a heading:

Database error in vBulletin 4.2.0:

Hmm ... you learn smth. new every day ... my Installcode Generator doesn't work properly with ENUM fields

[sql]
ALTER TABLE navigation ADD exttype ENUM ('heading', 'html') NULL
[/sql]

should take care of that.

[Boofo]

You are never too old to learn, buddy.

What is the format for the html? Like an example, I mean.

[Andreas]

Anything you want ...

But no way to do span styles or classes then? For like changing the link color of the menu or links titles?

[tbworld]

Bug: You cannot re-edit the html dialog box. Initial edit works fine.

(At least on my test system )

PS: Looking good, thanks for the html selection!

Will this mod allow the dropdown menu tabs to open on hover? If not, is there a way to do this?My current tab manager does this and it's pretty slick.

Glad I found this mod. I've been afraid to upgrade to 4.2 and not have the tabs function the way have them set up currently.
