This mod allows admins to install and manage Standard Tabbars... aka {Nav-Tabs}...

ATTENTION: download Tutorial for better help...

What does it do? Installs multi-tabbar above your navbar...Other options in future updates...

************************************************** *****
Primary setup consists of installing plugin.xml and uploading images...
************************************************** *****

Step {1}
********
Upload images folder...>>> { tabbars } to your forum images folder...

http://yoursite.com/forums/images/tabbars/

http://forums/images/tabbars.yoursite.com/

http://forumsroot/images/tabbars/

CMPS setup: upload images folder...>>> { tabbars } to your domain root images folder...
Setup global option in CMPS admin to show on frontpage...

Goto CMPS admin and find default settings / main options...
Scroll down and find...>>> Portal Output Global Variables...
Insert $var...>>> $tabbarsuite or tabbarsuite,,, SAVE
Last setup images path below...

http://yoursite.com/images/tabbars/

Gallery or Photopost setup: upload images folder...>>> { tabbars } to your gallery root images folder...

http://yoursite.com/gallery/images/tabbars/

http://yoursite.com/photopost/images/tabbars/
  • There are many color sets to choice from within the tabbars folder... 31 total sets...
  • If you have your own set that you prefer to use,,, upload to tabbars folder and overwrite one of the original sets with yours, and select by number option...


Step {2}
********
Setup plugin...
  • Goto admincp and open manage products
  • Select and install plugin tabbar_suite.xml
  • After setup goto forum and view navbar
  • If images uploaded correctly tabbar will show
  • If images don't show up * Check your image path
  • Goto Tabbar Suite settings and begin Css setup


Step {3}
********
Setup CSS in admin options...
  • View and make sure first two options on
  • View and setup css font family no-hover
  • View and setup css font family hover
  • View and setup css link text color
  • View and setup css visited link text color
  • View and setup css float left or right
  • View and setup css padding left or right shift

Default paths below...>>>

Left = images/tabbars/css5_L.gif

Right = images/tabbars/css5_L.gif

If you followed the first four steps and images don't show, you must edit the path above in the Tabbar Suite options... View first step to understand how to link to images folder...

Ok, if you made it here then your images are showing?
If you want to change image sets, edit the path above in options...
How? Edit the numbers only in both paths and your images will change to that number set...

Example: css5_L.gif <<<..... edit the number only {5} to change color sets...


Step {5}

I'd really like to try this. Can you advise exactly where it's supposed to display (which template)? I followed the directions, and it's just not showing up. I can see that it's entering the CSS into the page, but it doesn't seem to make use of them. My URL is here:

volarium,,,
If you uploaded the IMAGE folder to the correct path and also checked the vbsettings are correct,,, then all will go well...

I set this mod up on several forums without any issues on the first go...

If the images are loaded to the correct path and mod is switched on with activations,,, you will have no problems...

Give me temp access to your forums and I will assist U...

gothicuser,,,
Install only the CMPS version which works with both forums and frontpage...
If you've separated into two entities,,, then still use the CMPS version which has been updated to show tabbars in both forum and frontpage without errors...

I will update the dropdowns and a few other options,,, hopefully by the end of the month...

Nice hack. Had to change the colors a little bit to match my forums color layout.
