Hi everyone,
This week sees the awaited gold release of DragonByte Forum Tabs now v1.0.2. This release of #DFT sees a number of bug fixes and performance enhancements (thanks to Fillip H.). There are also additional features including the ability not to display the Category Tabs (for those who don't need to use the Category Tab features), integration with #vBShout in the display above the Category Tabs as well as the ability to now use vBulletin's notices system and add notices that will only appear above the forum list and control which tabs they will appear for.
The full list is below. Would like to get any feedback we can to continue to improve DFT.
Features
Feature: Subforums can be added or removed via a button on the Forum Home page.
Feature: When adding or editing a forum in the AdminCP you can now add the forum automatically to a users favourites list on their next visit to the site.
Feature: Standard vBulletin notices can now be assigned only to appear on a tab and will then appear only below the tabs.
Feature: Option to not display the Category Tabs.
Feature: Tab clicking flood check
Feature: vBShout integration with Category Tabs.
Feature: vBulletin notices can be displayed tabs and are loaded with the AJAX refresh.
Fixed: Wrong bburl variable in several templates.
Fixed: Issue with margin in Opera.
Fixed: Issue where reload image wouldn't move to the currently selected tab.
Fixed: An issue where on uninstall two fields would be missed from the user table.
Fixed: A slight delay on the unidle refreshing.
Fixed: Vertical alignment issue in some styles for subforums on the Forum Home.
Fixed: When Forum Tabs is disabled via it's Settings (Enable DragonByte Forum Tabs) it correctly disables the tabs display.
Improvement: Decreased loading time and resources of AJAX loading of tabs (Thanks to Fillip H.).
The updates also brings a Lite version of DFT with a full feature list below. We would suggest that when updating that you empty the forumtabs and forumtabs_pro folders as there have been several changes in file structure with this update.
If you like the product you can show your support by nominating it for mod of the month here, DragonByte Forum Tabs - vBulletin.org Forum and also please rate it to help cancel out the users who 1 star our mods.
