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)

Great Find!

If you link to a tab using that method you can use your browser's back button to take you back to that tab instead of the default tab.

it will work greater if someone will fix the current bugs

Hi Bobster,
I have been using the previous version of your mod for my vB3 site and it has been working great with some of my modifications to forumdisplay and thead. I have recently upgrade to vB4 and installed version 4.0.0 beta 2. What I want to do is: To make the tab menu always appear on top so users can jump to tab contents wherever they are.
Looks like it is not easily done here. Could you give me some pointers for this?
Marked installed.

Thanks

lion how can we change the color of the nonselected tabs to be apart for each theme like the selected one

[huuquynh]

I don't know why after install and add tab. There are no tabs display in forum home. I can not find where to setting more...???

Oh, I don't edit template yet... sorry

[eues]

I have installed this fine. However on the forumhome when you hover over a username the popup bubble comes up automatically! I want it to return so it only appears when you click a username.

Anybody know the fix? ty
