Issue Summary
Just found a link to this module, and at first glance, wow, it looks great!! A very nice, clean way to clean up the user interface on node creation pages that can easily get out of control. Also a much easier way for "dumb clients" to understand what's going on regarding node creation.
I didn't see any real documentation regarding current issues, or current limitations, but I quickly found this on my dev site which only has the devel module installed besides core modules.
The attachments are two screenshots of my admin page, one with the vertical_tabs module installed, and one without. The menu options in the Site Configuration section are different. When the Vertical Tabs are on, there are several items missing. Is this known? In the works? Current Limitations?
Keep up the good work, this looks like a mod with huge potential... With some work, it'll easily be added to my list of must have Drupal 6 modules

Vertical tabs combines several common configuration pages into 1 single vertical tabs page.
Conclusion: It also transforms the admin configuration to vertical tabs (for some only).
I'm not completely sure, just my experience using it.
I'd prefer it NOT to change the admin links.
So I think I'll stick to Nodeform module :(
#2
Actually, I agree - I first thought the tabs on the Admin page was kind of cool, but now I wish I could turn it off sometimes - like right now when it's hiding CSS images for QuickTabs and Plus+1 on their forms :)
I love it for the node forms, however, the solution is to simply disable it while you're developing, and enable it afterwards...
#3
This I confirm, I could'nt find the tabs where it was grouping it. This might be because I am using super nav, and disabled navigation.
SO for me they just vanish and can't find them.
Nice module, but maybe it should have some controls to not touch the admin areas.

that was just for fun. i'll probably remove it.

.. This is a very nice module.
However, after installing a bunch of contrib modules (counting 20++), I've to manually unchecked one by one of the installed modules to find out who is the culprit that makes the '/admin/settings' menu got reduced by 40%.
I'd have to say, that is no fun at all. Please remove the
menu_alterfunction.#6
please have an option to ONLY enable this for the node forms LOL
BTW, Its under Main Configuration :D
#7
Well.. at the very least, users should be informed they are getting vertical tabs not only for the node forms, but also on the admin settings page.
#8
Subscribing,.... Always error on menu (miss some group menu) Please,.. how to fix it.... I need this module but I can't use it because of it.. :(
#9
Subscribing.
The Settings menu is still being broken. VT is unusable, at the moment.
Please fix this as soon as possible.
Ciao, Giovanni

I'd like to second (or third) that this is removed. It doesn't make any practical sense on a live Drupal site. Since this module has a weight of "9999999999" and puts the modifications in hook_menu_alter(), it's nearly impossible to undo. For the mean time I've just had to put a "return" at the very top of the hook_menu_alter().
#11
This patch reduces the weight down to 300 and removes all modifications to the menu system.
#12
Yes it's work, and I already use it,..
Here is, the pached version with some css fix..
#13
The issue is not fixed until the maintainer commits a patch. Reopening so that dmitri will take a look.
#14
Dmitri was nice enough to let me help maintain the module. I've committed this patch after receiving his approval. w00t!
#15
Ok,.. nice..
