i.e if you called your Tab "FORUM" if the user clicked the word it would go forum.php. then if they clicked the arrow it would be dropdown menu

Thanks dude.Very good mod

A quick question about this mod. The tabs that I want to mess around with are in the 2nd row(settings, my profile, etc......) See attached pic.

Will this mod change those? Or what exactly will it change?

Hi there,

I get the following warning by using this mod:

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in [path]\includes\class_bootstrap.php(517) : eval()'d code (line 159)

Does anybody know what's to do?

L.R.

Holy BEJESUS. This is an amazing mod.

After install on vb 4.0.5 (UTF8) i got this error

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in [path]/includes/class_bootstrap.php(517) : eval()'d code on line 9

But mod is at first look working ok ...
But I uninstall it for the moment and wait for a fix.

Great mod

Hope this helps?

Oh nearly forgot... I'm using Vbulletin 4.0.3L1 I should have said.

Posted something similar in the VSA banner ad. Apparently it's been solved in 4.0.6, but not everybody (including yours truly) has the ability to upgrade to that yet:

Here's how to solve that:

Specifically:

Applied fix specified by Andreas. And placed it in replacement-vbulletin-ie.css before the RTL specific fixes.

/* VBIV-7380 */
#navbar {
z-index: 2000;
}
/* end VBIV-7380 */

Sorry about this.

I use a homegrown mod for a tab with a dropdown and experience the same issue. Only in IE <8. Did you ever manage to figure out a workaround for this? I assume the fix will be similar to the one above, so perhaps it's a matter of looking into the IE.css files. I just wouldn't know where to look.

Love the mod... is there a way to have a tab be a direct link.. .not a drop down menu with linki? Also, the drop down on mine is not just a tab length wide.. the drop down is screen wide... and can we change the color / font color of the drop down. I see we can change the background of the drop down with your settings tab... but what about changing the tab color when moused over or selected... like the vB tabs? Lots of questions.. but thanks for the great work.
