superb hack, just nominated but need to be changed the 'mouse over' like the other (default) tabs ...

REQ: can you move the options of the tab in the 'settings' group? (i mean in the ACP)

thanks

[Vaupell]

yes, added to suggestions/plans.

proberly gonna rewrite the whole thing, before a "non" beta release
there is alot fo cleanup needed, and there are quite a few easyer ways
to execute some of the query's ive made.

Just my fault i didnt get that one in the planned, cause i was planning to add it
to settings group..

[fayax]

For the new update the .97 do we need to to replace the product and the files? OR just the product import?

ADDED: Found the answer ...Have to upload the xml and the files both to get a full upgrade and it worked like a charm. still testing the new features.

Thanks Vaupell.

In your description you have said "* 3 Costum tabs" you might want to change that to "* 4 Costum tabs"

Why a static amount of tabs?

sorry if you missed the discussion, plan is to remake to unlimited ammount,
but during the beta it will remain static.

Hi,

Thanks for this mod.
It would be great if we could also add this to widgets and create vertical flyout menus.

[albanah]

Many thanks
will install.

[albanah]

unfortunately, I had to disable it as it is incompatible with IE earlier version.
It would be great if it can be updated.

Works fine with ie7 which is the oldest version supported by Microsoft themself.
Support for olderversions might only by supplyed by MS-partners.
works with ie8, firefox, chrome, opera, safari

howewer as for ie6, No go, IE6 and earlyer versions are obsolete
and will not be supported by me. and proberly many others aswell..
the thing with companys forcing ie6 is bs,, i work for Siemens, and are
using a "global" network, with forced browsers, howewer i can still use
alternate browsers, FF etc..

So sorry older browser versions is just weird, they dont support modern css, html, etc.
and other implements which is used on most websites around the web

-- PS / EDIT

its not my mod, im not using anything vbulletin 4 is not, so if you cant use it
then you will have features from vbulletin unavailible to you!!!

maybe read up over at vbulletin.com about older browsers and vb4
im only using resources supplyed by vb4.

Thanks for your comments.
In fact I have tested it on IE7 and both tabs come in separate rows. It is not working properly.
