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)

OK, for those of you that are having the "WHITE" issue on the background of the container (mainly for transparent/translucent styles)

on line 63 of the skin-tfh.css

Currently this element sets a WHITE background (as that is what default vB style is like)..

.yui-navset .yui-content {
	background:#ffffff; 
	border-top:5px solid #ADCCE1;
}

So, what you need to do is make it transparent like this.

.yui-navset .yui-content {
	background:transparent; 
	border-top:5px solid #ADCCE1;
}

Hi Bob,

Great mod... not sure if this is possible but could a user permission be set so that the user could choose which tab to make his/her default?

Also - i can no longer double-click the forum icon to mark it as read. (and when you hover over the forum icon, it no longer says "double click to mark this forum as read).

I know you want bug reports to the other forum, but I havent had a chance to sign up for it.

Same thing, just installed and everythings great but dont have the ability to double click an icon. Also cant find link to other site to check bug reports.

Other than this, great mod, nice easy install and so easy to add tabbed sections!!

In what formatting tags should I incase the message (inside the noscript section)?

Just found what was missing and it works now. In the template edits it says forumhometab is automatically created so I didn't check it as I am using default style. While going through to see if I missed anything with the edits checked the forumhome tab again and it did not have "{vb:raw forumhome_markread_script}" added.

Added it and the double click icon to mark read shows and works.

It works fine with Valtars (Cybs) Subforum Manager.

That is something that has been kicked around a few times. Its on the white board, but isn't planned for the next few versions at the moment. Its on the radar tho.

Just installed Sub Forum Manager 4.1 and just testing it out and so far it looks to be working okay with this.
