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).. Bobster Change Log version 1.01 - tabcontent.js ver 2.2 to support remote links updated install instructions (both in txt and rtf format) version 1.5.0 - BETA [AJAX] version July 8, 2008 - Added xml file for WOL Sep 2, 2008 - Updated xml file for WOL Download Now

i am as well.... been watching this but it seems at this point it will be easier to just wait for 2.0 vs trying to make it work in its current form. i tried for about 5 mins a few days ago to make it work but never could so i removed it for now.

OK we have one major major thing to do that will alleviate tons of work and make it more 'seamlessly' integrated into vBulletin, but it's something that I haven't seen done before through modifications. It may have but I haven't found it. So we most likely have to 'reinvent' the wheel on this one.

just so i know but will this mod when the 2.0 version comes will it be able to mimick what vbulletin.org has with its tabs in the header next to the logo. because thats how i was planning on using it. also as i understand it currently it only will work with forum categories (is that correct)? if so will it be possible to link to other sections using this in the 2.0 version? (specifically i would like to link to some of our addons... arcade, pickem contest we coded, etc)

In addition to the standard use of these tabs, I have implemented them on my website (not used on the forum) to pull external content. So essentially, you could use the tabs in other places besides on your forum. I will say this though, as I have found so far, the pages you plan to include these tabs on, will have to be tied into the vBulletin forum. My website consists of custom pages that use the vBulletin API, which allow me to tie into the vBulletin forum. This is how I am able to use the tabs externally from the forum. As for your addons, arcade, etc. as long as the tabs are tied into your forum, you will be able to link to mostly anything. The only problem so far is pulling javascript into the ajax tab view...ajax and javascript don't play well with each other....to my understanding, v2 fixes that issue. I can tell you this, this mod is wonderful now. When v2 is released, it will be better without a doubt. Again, I have found uses for this mod external from the forum and only 1 limitation thus far. |

No, ver2 will work with more than just categories, there is a "modules" plug in that you enter the URI to the external file and it will be included as content for that tab.. (you can use any of the "content" files that I have released with my CMPS AJAX Tabs Mod as well .. recent threads, blogs, news, links, photos etc.. custom content will be pretty easy to add to this. Hell, you could knock out a simple static HTML file, upload it to your server and then with the Module part in the ACP, just enter the file name, give it a tab name and you have a custom tab with your content.. or you can write a complex php file and do the same thing... |
