Forum Tabs - WhightKnight - 04-11-2010

I wanted to know how to set up Forum Tabs on my SMF forum, just like this website and HF has. I consider "Home", "Coding Support", "Computer Support", and "Webmaster Support" forum tabs.

OR, if someone can show me how to convert my SMF 2.0 RC 3 forum to MyBB, that would be greatly appreciated as well. (I only found a conversion script for SMF 1.11)

It's a plug in.

Your best bet is to switch to mybb.


RE: Forum Tabs - WhightKnight - 04-11-2010

1. It is a plugin for MyBB...I use SMF
2. There is also a way to edit code for your MyBB theme to install the tabs (I think), but I'd like to know how to do this on SMF
3. I need it for SMF. There are no plugins that do such a thing for SMF.
4. I can't switch to MyBB, there are no conversion scripts for it.

That plugin, along with all the other plugins used here and at HF are available at Omni's MyBB addon site, here is a link to the tab plugin http://www.mybbcentral.com/thread-2439.html

Your best bet to convert from SMF 2 to MyBB is to go SMF 2 > phpBB 3 > MyBB

Use a converter like this: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=1013655
Then the MyBB converter.

It's a plug in and it's not free.

Thanks a million. I'll test that out with my crappy / un-released forums. If it works, I'll do it to my popular forums.

Thanks again Smile

U gotta be a subscriber on mybbcentral. Otherwise u won't be able to download the plugin.

Admin CP, Forums & posts tab, On the side menu click Tab Menu, Click add then enter the tab name and hold CTRL while clicking on the categories you want to go under that tab.
