Tabbed Forum Home version 1.01

[AJAX] Tabbed Forum Home version 1.5.0 (BETA)

NOTE: Works with both 3.7x and 3.6x

Description: This MOD is for creating a "Tabbed" Forum Home Page to have Categories displayed within Tab containers (similar to what the new Profile System looks like on vb3.7). 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 without leaving the main forums page.

I wrote the initial Non AJAX version based on reading many requests from members asking about how namepros created their custom tabbed forum home page. The first implementation I did was a request by bbwforums.net (which you can visit to see a working example). I have shared this version with many members already and decided to release it since it seems to be something that a lot of members are interested in.

UPDATE: I have released a BETA [AJAX] version for those that what something a little more robust and easier to install/configure. This Beta version will never go into production tho as version 2.0 will utilize the YUI AJAX Tabview Toolset. It IS stable tho and is currently running on a few live sites.

NOTE: Keep in mind, I wrote this with the assumption that you are fairly well versed and comfortable with editing files/templates and following the flow of things. If there is something you don't understand, PLEASE let me know so that I can help you understand it. This IS NOT a product that a novice can just plug and play and it takes a little bit of time to setup, but its well worth it in the end (if you want a custom unique look to your forum home page)... the next version (Don't ask when, cause its just on the drawing board) will be a product with ACP controls for easy setup

The attached Zip File(s) contain the Files and Instructions necessary to install each version.

DEMO: www.bbwforums.net or www.namepros.com
[Moderator Edit: The first URL has been un-linked as there has been reported malware on that domain. The mod author may edit this notice once the situation has been cleaned.]

Screen Shots: None, visit one or both of the above links as seeing them in action is better than some static image(s)..

You can use a different CSS and lay the DIV's out any way you want to.. just take a look at the code for the NON AJAX version and use the CSS from that (to include the DIV layout) .. (hope I explained that clear enough... its pretty easy actually).. also, there are a couple other CSS files/examples with my AJAX Tabs mod for vBa CMPS as well that work with this.

Check the paths to your .css and .js files .. the result your are getting is because it can not find those files.. you might try and use the full URL to them..

There are multiple things you will have to change.. just look at all files/templates associated with TFH and change every instance of tabforumhome.php to tab.php ...

Can you give me the layout you use on your baseball forums? Look at the tabs:
http://www.rahstyles.com/forum/index.php#

Also: When you click them it jumps the page to the top.

Another Also: When clicking another tab, the forum new image does not display.
