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)

Help please
It does not show the forums

I read thru all 45 pages, and I honestly can't see to find any working fix, for the fact that "All Forums" module, shows all the forums to everyone no matter if they have premission to view it or not. -- Of course they can't view the contents, but it still shows the "last post by" and time and the name of the semi-private forum. -- this bug really needs to be fixed!

Found another bug with this.

Users with IE9, never get "reloads" in their browser windows, as IE9 caches all ajax stuff, so everything works, except "LAST POST" info never changes, as IE9 is caching it, even if the plugin is set NOT to cache.

Works fine in all other browsers, and older IE9's.

There a thread on how to change "cache headers" to make IE9 compatible with other AJAX scripting problems, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to port over those changes to this plugin.

This is one mod I really wish would be updated.

Well the first post from the author itself states the following:

These Tabs actually switch the content via AJAX without leaving the main forums page.

Well for sure it has a caching problem with IE9, if the user does not have the cache set to CHECK EVERY TIME I VISIT A WEBPAGE (which is not the default setting), on IE9, you never get to see the "reloads" when you switch tabbed pages, infact it can stay for over a day with no updates, so it sucks as users don't think there is any new posts, when in fact there is.

Just installed on 4.1.4, tabs show up, but no forums are listed. Any ideas?

I'm sorry, I'm from Brazil and do not speak English very well, I'm using google translator to formulate my question.

I'm new to VBulletin, I could not finish the installation. I did steps 1 and 2, but did not understand step 3.

Where do I find this page where I have to change the codes, I could explain it better?
