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

OK For some reason when I install this plugin everything install fine but the tab navigation thing showed in the screenshot of yours does not appeared on mine. When I click Settings > Options which brings me to the vBulletin Options and a long list of stuff, the plugin is listed in their but how come it does not show the toolbar like it showed in your screenshot on my left navigation? Seems like something is missing, my bulletin version is vBulletin 4.x vBulletin 4.1.0 Patch Level 2

I got this error too after upgrade to '2.0.4'. But old version '2.0.3' is work perfectly on 'vBulletin version 4.0.8'. I also found that the version number in 'Installed Products' is not display '2.0.4' and still display '2.0.3' after upgrade new version. Is that correct product xml file in 'sstab_advanced_204a.zip'?

My vBulletin is English + French.
It seems that it is not possible to display the tab label based on the language (fr or en).
How else can we do this ?

[FASEOFMARS]

hmm the margin-bottom of the created tabs are off a couple pixels.. it adds a couple pixels to all the tabs when you click on a created one..

can this be fixed? a template edit or mybe edit a file perhaps?

Nice mod. Thanks!

Hi I've installed Tab Add System as per the instructions. I'm using 4.1 CMS. Does this work properly with this version?

In the Settings > Options >> Tabs Add System for vBulletin 4 by VSoporte

I don't have any options to Add any tabs. When I enable this plugin it just adds to Spanish Tabs for Groups and Members on my home page.

Am I missing something or is there something special I need to do to make this work in 4.1?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
