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/

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

Step {3}

Ok, if you made it here then your images are showing?
If you want to change image sets, edit the path above in options...

Do you have the Tabbars files in Photoshop format so that we can make color changes and such?

Open images folder and look for lighter images set,,, use left and right as your clone image...
Use image editor to finalize your image set...

Hopefully all my questions aren't annoying you, Tabbars is an excellent product and I'm just trying to help you make it even better. :-)

My next question is this: It appears that once you add dropdown choices under a particular tab, you can no longer click on the main Tab and go somewhere. Once you add choices, you HAVE to select one of the dropdown choices. Clicking on the main tab doesn't take you anywhere. Is there anyway to change it so that you can either choose one of the dropdown choices OR click on the main tab? Or, perhaps I have it setup incorrectly? Hopefully my question makes sense.

Why do you put CSS and other Style-related stuff in vBulletin settings?
That's the totally wrong place, you really should use the vBulletin CSS editor for CSS, and stylevars for image directories, etc.

Im not a PHP Guru like yourself so If you can give a quick example on how you would do it,,, I would appreciates it...

Well it makes it easier for the user as all style releated settings are in a central place if yo do so: In Style Manager :-)

Take a look at css.php, adminfunctions_template.php.
There are hooks you can use to handle custom CSS classes, Image Paths.

I am not sure if there already is a tutorial online here at vBulletin.org on how to use these hooks, if not i'll write up smth.

PS: I am definitly not a 'PHP Guru' :-)

I don't think there should be a maximum, but 20 should be fine for anyone and give some air for future desktop resolutions.
