Maybe you are uploading the wrong file. Make sure you unzip the zip file. The XML file is inside of the zip file.
Or there may be a server issue that is causing problems with uploading files. Do you have any other upload problems like avatars and attachments?
If you haven't already, try entering the path (./library/NodesAsTabs/addon-NodesAsTabs.xml) as shown in this picture:

That is an alternative to using the Browse button.

I tried everything.... I ended up with looking at the xml file, and saw it just looks like its encrypted or just messed up badly...
But i found an older version that worked... =) this one http://xenforo.com/community/threads/nodes-as-tabs.26687/page-3#post-336575

I just tested a fresh download and it works for me. No one else has reported this problem. I can only assume your download got corrupted somehow.

Yeah must have been corrupted or something like that, cause its the first time i ever had issues with installing anything... so i was wondering... oh well... got the 1.1.2b working =)
It would be lovely if i could make you post the xml file for the latest version... just so i could try to copy/paste it =)

XenPorta is separate. You need to edit the EWRporta_Navtabs template to modify the secondary links under XenPorta's Home tab.

The XML and PHP files go together. I suggest simply downloading the latest version again. Maybe use a different computer / browser.

I already tried that.... many times... and its not only the xml, its every file in the 1.1.2c zip that looks like this " Ký±¥â¤G“X§$¿æ»Ãf»_äòã—O§n_á+PÎo)Ü{Î Ï{i‘b˜‘m&{ 6)Ÿ©íGQ¼ÐïJ‘(†U(åN9#¬ "
and its only this addon... the other you made works perfect! oh well... might just be my computer that's messed up.. =)

Hey Jake - great add-on, thank you for your time and effort.
Is there a way to create nested menus using your template? I tried just nesting html code like I normally would, but it did not create a submenu (or folder, if you will). Does XenForo's menu system not support it?
For example:
Menu1

Here is one option:
http://xenforo.com/community/threads/nodes-as-tabs-with-tab-selection.23295/page-6#post-293965
It's a small file and template modification for this addon which enables depth to the child nodes. It looks like this:

Those are option labels. They don't use phrases. They are safe to change in the XML file:
Rich (BB code):
1=First
0=LastThe addon only looks at the value (0 or 1) and not the labels, so you can change them.
Thanks for translating this addon.

Thanks for your answer. But I try to offer only a language file for translations and not the complete add-on so normaly I don't offer the add-on XML
It is no problem to change
but for all language packs it is much easier to have phrases in the templates

HTML:
<optiongroups>

In that case those options cannot be translated.
I checked some of the default options and they are the same. They don't use phrases.

Actually... now I see some options that do use phrases. I need to post a bug about this because I found some that don't use phrases.
I will fix this in the next update. Thanks.

That is a page node as a tab with several page node children.
Admin CP -> Applications -> Display Node Tree
Their node tree is setup like this:
Valve (page node, is tab)
- Steam (page node, child of Valve)
- Steamworks (page node, child of Valve)
- Steam Guard (page node, child of Valve)
- Steam Cloud (page node, child of Valve)
- Source Engine (page node, child of Valve)
- Merchandise (page node, child of Valve)
Once you create the nodes in this structure then you edit Valve and make it a tab with child links.

Is there a way to make a link forum link directly to the link URL specified in the node, without resorting to hardcoded template edits? I'm using Nodes as Tabs to link to a wiki, but it seems a bit silly to have the link for the wiki point at "/link-forums/3/" instead of just "/wiki/".
