Forum Home Enhancements - [YUI] Tabbed Forum Home

[YUI] Tabbed Forum Home (TFH) version 4.0.8
vBulletin version: 4.1.11 - 4.2.0
Older versions need original mod for now

Description:
This MOD is for creating a "Tabbed" Forum Home Page to have Categories and other Data types (via Modules) displayed within Tab containers. Please do not confuse this with the Tab Menu System here at vbulletin.org. They are totally different systems. These Tabs actually switch the content via AJAX without leaving the main forums page.

This is an entirely new version of TFH and only works with vB4. Management is all done via the Admin CP.

Installation is done in 3 simple steps. Upload files, Import product, 3 easy Template Edits.

Setup is now a breeze via the Tabs option in the Admin CP.

The attached Zip File contains the Files and Instructions necessary to install.

Incompatible mods
Two columns of categories - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=275114

Upgrading to 4.0.7+ from previous versions
We have had to change the mod's id which means when you install this time you will have 2 mods, the new version with its new id and the old version.
Both can run side by side but shouldnt to save processing time.

To migrate:
Install the latest version and upload all the files (no conflicts to worry about)
Install the latest product xml
Follow the template changes in the upgrade txt
Create your tabs in the new admincp menu option "EG: Tabbed Forum Home" to mirror the existing "Tabbed Forum Home" menu.
Once done uninstall the product "Tabbed Forum Home" with productid bobster_tfh (old mod id)

Thanks

Yes, it is. I just installed it on vb.4.2 pl3. I installed both zip files, but only one worked well, which "tfh4.0.8"

Good luck,

Steve

I just found that there is a conflict between this mod and some other mods. one issue is with the sidebar the feature made by vbullletin 4. The top arrow in the sidebar freezes and never move if this mod is installed.

I also noticed that there is a conflict with bf-latest topics ajax mod and thing never go right unless you choose to have the latest topics mod to display on top of footer.

Did you follow all steps ??? also if so, do you see the tabs on your main forum??

I believe you are missed some step so please make sure again because I did it for 2 forums so far and both are working fine..

P.S: if all forums disappear, that means you did it right. All you need now is to grab the id of the main forums and create a tab for each forum(s) category you like to display in any tab...

I believe it is possible to remove this instant message, look into the css file tabview.css and play with it. Maybe you can replace the picture ajax-loader.gif with anything else, or leave it empty...

If I have time, I will pass by again and see how this can be done. I don't think it is difficult task.

What controls the styling?

We want to adjust it to fit each style accordingly.

Hi. I can?t get it to work. Maybe, it?s my Forumhometab

This is what I have:

PHP Code:

<!-- main -->

<ol id="forums" class="floatcontainer">
  {vb:raw forumbits}
</ol>

{vb:raw forumhome_markread_script}

<script type="text/javascript">
vBCollapseFactory();
</script>
<!-- /main --> 


And this is what I did with it...

PHP Code:

<!-- main -->

{vb:raw template_hook.forumhome_above_forums}
<!-- Tabbed Forum Home -->
<div id="forumhome_container" style="margin-top:5px"> </div>
<script type="text/javascript"> {vb:raw eg_tfh} </script>
<!-- /Tabbed Forum Home  -->

{vb:raw forumhome_markread_script}

<script type="text/javascript">
vBCollapseFactory();
</script>
<!-- /main -->
