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

I had to manually copy the files from the upload directory into the admincp and includes. Now it shows in admin left navigation and works as advertised. I like it. Hope the author will support it in future releases.

Does anyone know how to create a "Tab Sub Link" when using a image for a "Menu Tab", after I select yes in the "This Tab is a Menu?" option the image disappears along with the entire tab. Then it says "This menu will be disabled not have items" so when I add an item it removes the image and makes the Tab in plain text. Does anyone know of a work around for this issue or how to resolve it. I apperciate any help anyone can provide. Thanks

Great Mod by the way.

A powerfull great mod, but
i have this Problem, too.... - and that sucks. There is no stylevariable with it.

[hurik]

is there a fix for the problem with the Tab Sub-Links?

when i add a Tab Sub-Links it doesn't highlights anymore!

Anyone know how to make this open up the buttons in a new browser tab without closing off the vbulletin forums?

[hurik]

ok i have updatet that thing a little bit. i hope it is ok.

there a two new things:

1. Tab Sub-Links now work with a Menu Tabs which have the Tab Mode URL or URL_PARAMETER.
   This wasn't implemented before, only for THIS_SCRIPT.
2. Added support for vBSEO
   you can activate it under Config. but the behavior changes a lot when you use it with tab mode url or url parameter. now you can make a forum and his threads included in a tab (also it stands highlighted).
   demo: http://www.geilershit.de/forum/reviews/
   the actual review http://www.geilershit.de/forum/revie...gal-hingucker/ is still in the review tab.

When creating your tab there is a field that shows _same. Change this to _blank.

I'm trying it on 4.1.6, it works, but if I add a link to a section (content.php?xx) using THIS_SCRIPT it will not highlight the link but always the home link, if I use URL_PARAMETER (using full url with http://) it highlight the correct link but it will not show the subsections link set for that section under the navbar, exactly like for the home link that has been set to not show sections link under the navbar...

Jhonnyf do something and I will provide you a free italian translation

btw... it's so weird that a feature like that is not included in vb!
