Forum Display Enhancements - Tabs Add System for vBulletin 4 (sstab advanced)

Review:
This mod allows you to easily add and remove tabs on the navigation bar using the adminCP. Tabs can appear as "selected" after being clicked, automatically deselecting the other tabs.
You also have the option of indicating which groups are allowed and not allowed to see the tabs via usergroup id.
Tabs may operate as normal select tabs, as drop-down menus. or as links to external sites.

The Hack only use 1 SQL sentence to create All the Menu, no Template edition

This is an excellent mod, however I'm running vb4 and Photopost Gallery Pro as a result I've got loads of conflicts so haven't a clue how to get around the THIS_SCRIPT conflicts such as the following:

../forum/search.php
../gallery/search.php

../forum/members.php
../gallery/members.php

As a result the wrong tab is often highlighted because as far as I'm aware the THIS_SCRIPT conditions only allows single word entry's, eg; search,members. Is there a way around this because every 'create a Navbar Tab' suggestion I've looked at so far always requires the use of THIS_SCRIPT.

If I knew how to define URL_PARAMETER maybe that would be a solution?

Please help!

Hello,

Downloaded:

sstab_advanced_203.zip
and

but I cannot find this file inside or im stuck at this step:

Import the product 'product-evbs_sstab_advanced.xml'

the file inside the downloaded folder is cpnav_evbs_sstab.xml

should I just rename that? lol

Thanks for the tab mods. Any reason when members login they cannot see the tab? I add few tabs and admin and un-register account was able to view fine. I check the permission everything look fine for registered user. This is weird why Admin and Un-registered can view, but not registered members. Thx

[angkor408]

I figured out now you have to unchecked all the box for the permission under allow.

Yours isn't working either mate. I agree you have successfully added the Gallery tab, however when you click on the gallery tab and view the gallery index page your tab bar has the 'forum' tab highlighted with the associated forum submenus below.

With this Mod I can keep the Gallery tab highlighted for the Photopost Gallery index page by use of the unique Photopost 'ppindex' THIS_SCRIPT indentifier, however as stated before because of the requirement of THIS_SCRIPT in both this Mod and the template hardcoding you've link to, I can't see a way to keep the Photopost Gallery tab highlighted (and all submenus present) when viewing all Photopost Gallery pages because both the Photopost Gallery and vB forum have many files of exactly the same name such as:

/forum/search.php
/gallery/search.php

/forum/members.php
/gallery/members.php

Using this MOD or your template suggestion if I code my Photopost Gallery tab submenus THIS_SCRIPT with 'search' or 'members' (or view those gallery pages) the Gallery tab fails to highlight and instead the Forum tab highlights. Can I get around this by hardcoding the Navbar template with URL's, if so how?

any update for 4.0.8 ???
