Would like to know about your thinking and how you think of how to use this great mod?
Because this mod allows you to create tabs from categories or forums, if you remember existing mods you needed to display your forum as a tabbed structure, then this will do that by default. In essence, you could remove specific forum categories and place them as tabbed content.
You could now create node links to anything you want, and create a tab with it.
You can create a paged content area, turn the home tab off, call a page home, place this as your homepage and create a custom content solution, via html or php, as you can do pretty much anything you want via pages. Because there are no limits to pages, there are no limits to how many custom content areas you create... all could bear unique designs by assigning to each.
Because this mod has no limits, you can create paid content areas, upgraded member areas, ie. pay per view, etc etc, all by controlling your content and getting it in the face of your members via the navigation structure.
Because this doesn't reinvent anything, and you use the default XF system, it just rearranges the use of tabs to correctly name, assign and allocate, thus all default permissions come with your content still, all the xenforo features to control and deliver your content.
You can create different styled areas via the style system, assign that style to a specific set of paged content, allocate one to a tab and the rest to its sub menu, you now have a custom content solution area within your forum, that's not actually your forum.
This doesn't really create a lot of things, it merely allows you to use all these existing XF features to a much deeper potential. Before if you created a page and hid it from the node structure, you had to get messy with creating tabs. Then the moment you loaded the page, it would lose its focus and breadcrumb.
People keep thinking you need to keep the default XF navigation, but you can rip it out and use that solely for say, creating a tabbed forum structure, network even... then create your own custom default XF menu... because lets face it, the menu items don't really change between upgrades. If XF ever added something to their menu, then you could add it to your custom menu, whilst utilising the actual nav menu as an automatic method to control your content via this mod.
Right now, the nav menu is horizontal, but there is nothing stopping you changing that into a vertical menu down one side of your pages.
What has been stopping all of the above is that everything fell under the "forum" tab and breadcrumb, unless custom coded, like jaxels media, wiki mods, etc. No more now... the realms of creativity are really only limited by what you can think up and actually do as a user with this mod, because you can use it to completely control your entire navigation structure and how you deliver content to your users.
