Nodes As Tabs 1.5.1

[arms]

So, I'm displaying my main forum node (named News) with as a tab but how do I make this tab the default on visiting site.I'd rather not have Forums as the default.

Just wanted to let you know that the third and fourth links of examples don't work anymore.

In 1.2 beta 1, I have enablad "unread count" for category "samfund". However, quite often, the alert for category is shown above the normal alert tab instead.

That is consistent with a bug that was fixed in 1.1.5 and should be fixed in 1.2:

http://xenforo.com/community/threads/active-tab-and-alert-causes-bubble-to-scurry-away.47147/

I am guessing you are using an old custom style that is missing these template fixes.

Thanks for the update, works nice.

May I suggest to add the possibity to show the secondary links below the tabs (not as an pop-up,but in vertical line below the tabs) when you hover over the tabs.

Did you enable the popup menu for the tab? I think that's what you want. It's one of the options added to each node by this addon.

I just had an idea:

could this "Node as Tabs" also be used for the XF Resource Manager ?
Show RM-Categories with a Tab-Dropdown ?

Maybe?

The RM already has it's own tab. You could use link-forums to create a new tab with links to individual categories if you want.

Is it possible to move the 'Forums' tab? I can move page nodes but I'm a bit puzzled on moving the 'Forums' tab, if it is possible.

The default "Forums" tab is hard-coded in the navgation template. You can move it by editing that template. This addon doesn't control that tab.

Wait for 1.2. It will let you set any forum page (including a node) as the index route:

http://xenforo.com/community/threads/more-assorted-things.50098/

Setting custom routes as the index
The index page (that is, what is currently at http://xenforo.com/community/) can now be set to any route URL. By default, this will be the forum list, but you could set this to resources, a portal page, or something else entirely. If you do change it, the forum list will automatically be located at http://xenforo.com/community/forums/.

I just tried this - though it adds the tab, in my case anyway, it doesn't show the tab selected. Rather, it shows the default resource tab. I'd be very useful if there was a way to show RM categories (and their child categories) under specifiable tabs.

Enable this option:

Admin CP -> Home -> Nodes As Tabs -> Enable Tab Selection For Link-forums

Hello, and thank you for trying to assist me.

I have been trying to figure out how to add a new "option" (not sure what it's called) under the Forums category. The current options are:

• Mark Forums Read
• Search Forums
• Watched Forums
• Watched Threads
• New Posts

I would like to add "Forum Posting Guidelines" as below:

Can someone please explain to me how I can do this? Thank you for your time.

@ViciousGnome

The default "Forums" tab is not controlled by this addon. That tab is defined in the navigation template:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Templates -> navigation

Here is a code example for adding a secondary link to that tab:

Thank you SO MUCH, and I ALMOST HAVE IT!

I referenced Brogan's post:

http://xenforo.com/community/resources/how-to-create-a-page-node.354/

And I have the page I want, but I have one question:

In Brogan's post, he states

If you want page content to look exactly like post content then you must wrap it in this div:

Code:

<div class="messageText ugc baseHtml">

your content here

</div>

Well, I in the area marked "your content here", I posted the message for the page using BB Code (I went to the thread in my forums, hit edit, clicked Use BB Code Editor, ctrl c, then ctrl v), but the page has my copied BB Code. The message didn't display in the format I wanted. How do I get the page to show the message in the EXACT FORMAT of the original thread?

I don't want to see:
<<<FONT=Georgia]Test Test Test Test Test Test Test[/COLOR[/FONT
[COLOR=#ff0000
Testing one, two, three. Test Test Test.[/COLOR[/FONT>>>
[FONT=Verdana]
I want to see:

Test Test Test Test Test Test Test
Testing one, two, three. Test Test Test.

Thanks for your help.

Page nodes don't support bb code, only HTML.

View the page source of the thread and copy the HTML instead.

Thank you Brogan. I will try that now, and let you know.

It's working exactly as planned! I've added a "Rules & Posting Guidelines" option w/url to my new page, and it looks perfect. It took me about three hours to figure it out, but THANKS A MILLION EVERYONE!

Jake Bunce updated Nodes As Tabs with a new update entry:

1.2.0 Changes

This version is made for XenForo 1.2. You must first upgrade to XenForo 1.2, then upgrade this addon. Your tab settings will be preserved.

1) Added ability to set a root node in the options. This allows you to create a (root) node tab that shows the entire node tree for the popup and secondary links.

2) UI improvements.

3) Code things.

Hi @Jake Bunce do you have any plans to include RM category as tabs?

That doesn't require a special feature. You can use link-forums to create a new tab with links to individual categories if you want.

Hmm, upgraded this on 1.2 beta 1 forum, and now I get this error message both in forum URL and admin.php site
Fatal error: Call to undefined method XenForo_Application::getFc() in /home/euinfo/public_html/podcasts/library/NodesAsTabs/Listen.php on line 145

Why Beta 1? When there is already RC1 ?
