Ah. That is too bad. I wanted a tab titled "Guide" linking to the following topic, and for that tab to highlight when I select it (rather than reverting back to Forums): http://theinfinityprogram.com/index.php?threads/faq-nsfaq.1195/ If I want the tab to highlight, I assume my best bet would be to follow the more complex instructions here: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/assign-pages-to-different-tabs.7006/#post-108064 Unless there is a way around the limitation presented by this add-on that I missed.
I put my faq's under the help menu.... https://www.ptsdforum.org/c/help/faq
yes, I did. Not working still.
This addon doesn't support threads as tabs, only nodes as tabs (hence the name
). But if the thread is inside of a node tab then the thread will highlight that tab. With that in mind, you can create a forum as a child of the link forum, post the thread in that forum, then edit the link forum to go to that thread.Link Forum (is tab, and links to thread)
- Forum (child of link forum)
- - Thread (posted inside of forum)
That will create the desired effect.
An alternative is to post your FAQ in a page node and make that into a tab. But that requires you to write HTML (for the contents of the page node).
Or just copy the page source
I tried at least 5 times, Jake, no good.
Well, just like the convenience of editing through the editor since I mess with the FAQ quite a bit, but moving the FAQ to a new page seems the best best so I will probably just do that.
Haha! That did it! Woot! (Clever.)This addon doesn't support threads as tabs, only nodes as tabs (hence the name

Your add-on now replicates two features on my forum that were present on vBulletin 3.x. And thank you.
You can try the other upload method (upload from the server). That requires you to upload the XML file to the server and then enter the path to the file.
An upload issue like this is likely a server problem or user error.
That's a different error. That likely indicates that you didn't upload the new files correctly. Maybe you uploaded them to the wrong location. You need to overwrite the existing files inside of library/NodesAsTabs.
That's what I thought I did, Jake. I placed that js file over the other one...

I can take a look if you are comfortable giving me FTP and admin access.
Thank you, Jake, for helping me get upgraded. I spend more tears over technological challenges than over men - this is really sad...

Staggering in awe .... blinded by the light ...
STYLE Can I style these nodetabs -. colours/ backgrounds/ bold, italic/ glow for active tab?
oops I mean different styles for different types of tabs or individual tabs?
LINKS One issue for me is I provide a suite of chatrooms which MUST be an independent tab as an external link.
How would I do that now?
(I have been using Floris add-on which I would no longer have as it would be confusing. It let me set a tab to a link.)
In fact there are quite a few things that are links I need to have as a dropdown list - I have some admincp favourite links on a tab right now via Floris old add-on. I want to keep them AND add to them.
Also some of the stuff currently under my username like People I follow would be better as far as I'm concerned, under Members.
I realise this links stuff goes outside the scope of this add-on but it certainly partners it and supports it that is how to integrate tabs/ dropdowns for links with it.
FREEING UP SPACE I saw somewhere that another admin had moved the standard tabs on the right up into the mast area - which normally shows as empty to the right of the logo.
Username/ Inbox/ Alerts/ Log Out
I think this would be a very useful support to Jake's nodetabs as it would clear more space for them.
Can anyone provide instruction to do that?

which one i can download it for my site V: XenForo 1.1.1

Download "NodesAsTabs110-3.zip" from the first post:
http://xenforo.com/community/threads/nodes-as-tabs-with-tab-selection.23295/
It is compatible with 1.1.1
This thread shows the tab styling:
http://xenforo.com/community/threads/change-the-color.8749/#post-120671
Styling individual tabs is possible with some custom CSS. Each node tab has a CSS class of "nodetab#" (# is the node_id). You can reference that in EXTRA.css to apply custom styling to an individual tab.
You can create a link forum and make it a tab. The link forum can be made to link anywhere.
This addon allows you to show children as sublinks under a tab. Then there is an option to enable the dropdown menu. In that way you can create a dropdown menu of links.
As for the Members tab... this addon doesn't enable you to modify the default tabs. You need to edit the templates for that. It's not related to this addon.
I saw some one request that. I have never seen it done. That is not a simple modification as it involves both modifying the templates and creating some custom tab styling. But that doesn't relate to this addon.
