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)

I THINK I have one, but will have to dig for it as I really stopped doing anything vB4 related... I'll take a look. Can you send me a PM with your exact vB4 version?

I have the same problem than you.

I tried to implement tabs with dhtml.

It is great.

-The tabs have no delay.100% speed.
-The collapsable button works perfect.
-The tranlations sistems works into tabs.
-The tabs remeber the last tabb you take when you returns.

Just one and big problem.

I have no idea how can I put differents categories with dinamic content into each tab. I can put differents forums in each tab, but they are static, not recharges the new post into....

I need collaboration to make a condicional that loads only the selected categories into:

<!-- main -->
{vb:raw template_hook.forumhome_above_forums}
<ol id="forums" class="floatcontainer">
{vb:raw forumbits}
</ol>
{vb:raw template_hook.forumhome_below_forums}
<!-- /main -->

I think it´s possible...
Can anyone help us?

Did any find a solution to it?

I've installed this mod on my test environment (vBulletin 4.1.2).

While I haven't done any comprehensive regression testing (to ensure that no other site functionality has been broken), so far I can testify that this mod is working as described.

I love it. If all is well after I've performed the regressions, I'll install this to my live site.

Great Job!!!!

The various forum categories are collapsible. The YUI Tabbed Forum addon doesn't play nicely when any category is collapsed - all of the skin formatting is lost on the ensuing screen.

Please try to reproduce.

Yes, my friend, all have the same problem, for that reason I need help to change YUI to dynamic drive.
