That's on my wish list too.

Thanks also for the Custom Page Mod. I use it a lot.  Smiley

Maybe.

And for anyone that is having errors saying that pages don't exist from upgrading from Custom Page Mod 0.2, then you must move your pages from the folder /Pages to Variables/Pages/. This fixes a bug when people modify their Paths.pl.

Cheers for the updated version, the YaBB 2.1 version didn't work on my 2.2 board. Hopefully this will.

Awesome job James!!

I used it to appear to integrate a photo album into my forum. "Among other things....." and even more to come. The possibilities are only limited by the users imagination and their ability to click a mouse.
Works like a charm!!!!

By far the most time saving mod that I've found so far.
If your time is worth anything, and you want to add a page for any reason, this mod is for you.

I am trying to install this MOD - I really like the idea for it - but I am running into an issue.

Code
Select All
$yytabmenu .= qq~$tabsep~; 



That is not being found in the TabMenu.pl file. 

Any suggestions to help me get this MOD running?

I tried the manual install, but that code is not to be found in the TabMenu.pl file.

$yymcmenu  <--- found in TabMenu.pl

Yes,maybe updated with it.
Change $yytabmenu to $yymcmenu.
After I change the above variable,it works ok.

It works fine.

There is however a small bug.  

I added a few tabs, then deleted them and added them back with different names.

The changed names appear on the main index of the site, but the new and the old both still appear in the PM section.

It's purely cosmetic, but I thought I would let you know.

Here is a link to my site:

http://www.valleychatter.com

Create an account and just check the PM section to see what I am talking about.

Hi James, thanks for this great mod!

Couple of things:

That line 85 in Sources/TabMenu.pl was changed by a recent update which you can get as part of the attached zip here:

http://www.yabbforum.com/community/YaBB.pl?num=1198603183

Other thing.. small point... the instructions tell the user to upload this file: Admin/CustomPage.pl  but the actual name is:  Admin/CustomPageAdmin.pl

True, however how many users are going to use the stock 2.2 files and live with known bugs when the fixes are readily available and updated as files change?  Those fixed files also contain the changes.

If the Mod needs to stay pure to the stock version, that's fine, but it would be nice to have this difference noted in the mod package so users are aware they will get an error both in installing the mod, AND using the mod.

The option to Show Link in Custom Page menu doesn't work correctly with updated files.  See attached pic.  Also note it did that before I made my own button for it
