Forum Display Enhancements - Tabs Add System for vBulletin 4 (sstab advanced)

This mod allows you to easily add and remove tabs on the navigation bar using the adminCP. Tabs can appear as "selected" after being clicked, automatically deselecting the other tabs.
You also have the option of indicating which groups are allowed and not allowed to see the tabs via usergroup id.
Tabs may operate as normal select tabs, as drop-down menus. or as links to external sites.

Is there an option to have a main tab and then subsections, at the moment I have a tab for each area with individual links within them

[SteampunkViking]

I know this is going to be a big ask, but hey, don't ask don't get, right?

I was wondering if there's any way to have the subnav links show up for articles under a specific section? So, say, if I have an article in "Food" (or it's sub-section, "Dessert") then subnavs under nav tab "Food" come up, but if I was in "Documents", then subnavs under "Documents" would come up.

Any idea if this is possible?

[Webbstre]

From what I have been told it isn't possible under vBulletin's menu system. Every subnav is connected to a tab. To change it you'd need a mod that completely replaces the entire navbar.

Will this mod work with 4.04? Thanks!

It's working fine for me on 4.0.4:

[nsglazer]

I got this installed. You can see it at the top of the page on:

http://www.studentpilot.com/interact/forum/forum.php

If you try to use the drop down for "Articles" you'll see that the box is rather wide that it creates. Is there any way to make that box smaller?

Gracias to the developer

which vB version, i'm on v4.0.3 and it's in the vB ACP options.. but i can't find the "Tabs vbSoporte" to configure the tabs

[ArchAngelz]

That's because you probably forgot to upload the files via FTP and just imported the product.
