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...

A little fix for IE6:

If you use more than 6 tabs, there's a chance that the row will wrap into two ugly rows.

The fix?

1. Go to tabbar_suite_main template or search for <!--Tabbars Suite Start-->.

2. Add the text in red to the template.

<!--Tabbars Suite Start-->

<br/><table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="border-bottom-width:0px">

A little fix for showing tab images when not in the forum root directory (like here):

Add a backslash to the begining of "images/tabbars/css20_L.gif" and "images/tabbars/css20_R.gif" in the AdminCP, so it becomes:

"/images/tabbars/css20_L.gif"

I also suggest to change it in the product XML for future versions.

I need to activate only tab #10 as a dropdown while the rest are functioning as direct links.

How do I make it work through options and template settings?

So far my experimentations (deleting URL for tab #10 in options and setting up menu options for #10 alone in template) created just a mess.

Using your default template works. This setting, however does not.

Please feel free to admin my site as you like.

Thank you.

Its a spacer TAG thats causing the images to not sit on-top of the NAVBAR...>>> <br/> <<<

Open your NAVBAR template and look at the top for this...>>> <br/> or <br> and move $tabbarsuite below it
...

That plain color is probably one of the images is missing or not setup correctly... Check that its uploaded or setup in Admin options...

I hope that helps U...

At the same time, is there a way to lay the tabs inline with the logo in order not to save on this valuable space? What I'm basically asking is: does it matter in which template the tabbar resides?
shlomot,,,
Dropdowns are setup a bit different...

Its a code placement issue,,, you would have to make changes to main tabbar template to move it over there to 10... I will fix it for you when I have free time...

I will Pm you about it soon...

This is my navbar template

********************************************

leannet,,,
vBadvanced shouldn't have anything to do with the forumhome navbar showing tabbars set flush...

Please cut and paste your navbar template info here,,, and I will find the issue for you...

OR

Give me temporary access to your TEST FORUM and I will resolve,,, and then you can view how I did it...

********************************************

Using dropdown menu's???

There are only {5} dropdown options in the main tabbar template...

HTML Code:
<div id="dropmenu5" class="dropmenudiv" style="width: 100px;">
div id="dropmenu4"
div id="dropmenu3"
div id="dropmenu2"
div id="dropmenu1"

That makes it possible to use only FIVE dropdown's...

How do I place and activate 1 or more dropdown's
???
****************************************

Goto main_tabbar_suite template and edit where it shows...>>> rel="dropmenu1"

HTML Code:
<li id="current"><a href="$urltabbarsuite1" title="$vboptions[title_tabbar_suite_info1]" rel="dropmenu1"><span>
You can cut and paste the ...>>> rel="dropmenu1" in any of the TEN tabbars...
But remember there are only FIVE dropdown's total...
Match the div id="dropmenu1" with the rel="dropmenu1"...

After setting up and matching dropmenu's,,, next add links in dropdown template...
By defauft,,, rel="dropmenu1" are in tabbar 1,3,5,8 and 10... Move them around as ye wish...

If you're still having problems setting dropdown up the way you want,,, wait until the next update and I will try to make setup easier...
