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)

My partner and I just had our second child yesterday (8.50PM Valentines) which was our first boy so things are a little crazy right now

[Jaynie]

Ohhhhh congrats Zerohour, I wish the best for your family!
You're lucky to have a boy and girl as you can experience fathering both genders
Any time that could be spared on your free time on this addon would much be appreciated. I'm just launching a new forum that will have loads of forums so this is definitely on my list to load up. Thanks!

Congrats !!

Update 1:

Removed please see below.

Update 2:

After some more diggin about it appears this mod will work with a site that uses multipul sub domains!
All you need to do is to in to ACP > Settings > Options > Site Name / URL / Contact Details and set "Always use Forum URL as Base Path" to no.

After that this mod should start working on a site were the forum component is using a different subdomain to the main Forum URL

e.g

Forum URL: example.com
Forum component URL : forums.example.com

as you can imagin im now quite please to have this working on my site as i had intended from the beginng

Note: I have just upgraded my forums to version 4.1.11 and wish to report this mod is working wonderfully with the new version.
