Create custom browsing experiences by grouping categories, forums, or club forums into separate tabs, making large communities easier to navigate and much more user-friendly.
Features:
Multiple tab types:
All Root Categories
Specific Root Categories
Specific Forums
Club Forums
Unlimited tabs
Per-tab permissions
Control which member groups can view each tab.
Font Awesome icons per tab
Optionally add an icon to each tab for better visual organization.
Remember the active tab
The app automatically restores the last active tab when users return to the forum index.
IPS5-native styling
Designed to match the IPS5 interface and support light/dark themes.
No hooks
Built specifically for IPS5 using a modern JS/CSS approach.
Notes
Due to the lack of hooks in IPS5, the Tabs option cannot be added to Account Settings → Content Preferences. Members can switch to the tabbed view directly from the forums index view selector. Change layout views must be enabled for the new tabbed view option to appear.
The app adds a new forum index view option when forum view selection is enabled.
Tabs are generated dynamically from the existing forum index structure.
Specific Forums and Club Forums depend on forums already visible in the index layout.
Using too many tabs or categories may create multiple tab rows. Simpler setups usually provide the best user experience.

(*) Data is retrieved only if the book is found on Google Books.

-
IPS5.0.0+
This application allows administrators to choose which tabs are displayed in member profiles and define their order.
Notes:
Tabs may vary depending on the applications installed in your community.
Profile field tabs (e.g., "About Me") are automatically included when applicable.
If a member has no available content, the Activity tab may still be shown by the system.
Important (IPS 5 limitation):
Due to the removal of hooks in IPS 5, tab handling must be adjusted on the client side. If the first tab defined in the settings is not Activity, users will be automatically redirected to the corresponding tab (e.g. /tab-clubs/). This ensures the correct tab is active on page load, but causes a URL change.
Example: first tab: Clubs. The profile will go from ...index.php?/profile/1-adriano to ...index.php?/profile/1-adriano/tab-clubs/ automatically.
