you need to remove it from 'menu tabs', not 'config'.

Thanks

Great mod, almost there but I have issues with THIS_SCRIPT and highlighting the wrong tabs too.

What I was trying to do, was create a tab linked to a search that shows only a certain number of forums using "do=getnew&include=X,Y,Z" - Where X,Y,Z are the forum numbers that I want to include (and thereby exclude everything else. Works fine except the What's New tab is highlighted. Because I'm using search.php in my link, I can set THIS_SCRIPT to search to keep the new tab highlighted, but if I do that, it kills the highlighting of What's New and the submenus dissapear. I'm thinking each tab must have a unique THIS_SCRIPT identifier? Aside from it highlighting the wrong tab, this mod is superb.

For clarity, I am using...
"do=getnew&exclude=X,Y,Z" on What's New and...
"do=getnew&include=X,Y,Z" on the new tab.

But as they both have THIS_SCRIPT = "search" I get the wrong tab highlighted. Any way round this?

he is working on a way to use the url to trigger the select in addition to this_script for exactly this kind of dilemma.

Brilliant.

Wouldn't you think that vB would have some kind of menu management system built in?

[flegul]

Great Mod :up:

I am confused (sorry but I have only used vbulletin for 2 months) here is a screen shot of the option I am using to delete the tabs. Is this what you mean by "menu tabs"? Thanks for your help.

No, that's the global setup for the mod itself.

In your adminCP on the lefthand nav, you should have a new option (dropdown) for this mod. Click that, in there is where you configuring the tabs/subtabs, etc.

Is there any way to make this mod multilanguage capable? In such way that if the user change its language, the labels on the new tabs change accordingly?
