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.

Thank you!

Mine doesn't seem to work. I added a sub-menu but, when I click the link it doesn't highlight the section that I clicked and thus no sub menu items. The dropdown seems to work for me though.

Furthermore, uninstalling the hack leaves traces behind in the ACP.

Was the question ever answered: How do we set the tabs to "hover" when selected?

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!

Same problem. I have the newest vB version but not the CMS. Just the forum. I installed and I have the option under the admin "options" area but not the area where I create new tabs. It's added spanish tabs to my forum for me but there is no area to control these tabs or create new ones. I see the screenshot of what I "should" have but I don't see that in my admincp anywhere.

Thanks!

Ok, the problem was that the instructions tell you to unload all the files into the "root" folder of the forum. Really, the files need to go into the "admin" and "includes>xml" folders as positioned in the download. It may seem obvious to users with experience but for those of us who are brand new to vbulletin... we just put the files where we are told. In the root folder of the forum...

Now that this problem is solved I can't seem to find the way to have the tabs appear activated when they are clicked on. Instead... my "forum" button stays active. Any ideas on how to make these tabs appear active?

Thanks!

I'm just as new as you unfortunately...LOL. I'm the clown of the forums at this point I think.

But installing in the way that I said works no problem. The instructions just suck and seem to on most the plugins paid and unpaid. It's mind numbingly easy for those familiar with vB but for those of us who are looking at this for the 1st time and terrified to change things... the instructions suck.

Anyways, I'm still needing help for the part to make the tabs look active. Nobody has offered up a solution since my post so it's still a no-go. I'm confident that it will work if someone helped me through it but right now it's still not.

Good luck and if you have questions on where to place the files I could probably help with that now that I've got this far so feel free to contact me : )

I'm having a problem. The Config link in the admin panel for this product doesnt work for me using fresh install of vb 4.1 patch 2 with morbid blue theme.

Anyone else having this problem ?

Thanks

[Welshy2008]

Fantastic work. A lot better than the previous one that I had installed (now uninstalled).

Many Thanks.

(Will be making a donation soon).

[AlexisMedia]

Anybody know how to make the tabs look active colored when they are active? My forum just stays colored as the active one. I'm thinking it has something to do with whatever "THIS_SCRIPT" stuff is but I'm not sure.

Thanks!
