New Module - Tabbed Content

[tomhung]

ok so this is really a snippet right now.. but will soon be an actual module.

step 1 install the module

step 2 make a code page

Code:

tabber(array(3,19));

where the array is the page_id's to include in your tabs

This will include the page's.

There are some in inherent problems with including pages that link back to themselves.  This is best for WYSIWYG and Gallerys.  I"m sure there are others that are OK. 

Greg

module based on http://www.barelyfitz.com/projects/tabber/

[Look for the most recent tabber script at http://www.websitebakers.com/pages/code-snippets/listings/tabber.php]

I haven't tested it yet but if it works like the barelyfitz.com example then this will be very useful!

Hi Greg,

wow thats a cool snippet. Already had in mind to code one, but yours already seems to include all the features I need. Will do some more testing during this week. Thanks for all your recent contribution to websitebaker. They are highly appreciated.

I haven't tested it but it sounds very interesting indeed. Thanks, Greg.

It works and it looks nice.
Like Tomhung said it is only usefull for wysiwyg and Gallerys. It does work with other pages but when you go to another page like 'sign guestbook'  you lose the tabbed content.

Thanks!

this can be accomplished thourgh using a couple wrapping "code" sections... but it is more of a hack

[WebBird]

I found a bug in this module that causes page blocks to disappear in some cases.

The reason is that function get_page_content($get_id){ (file include.php) tries to store the ID of the current page by using

Code:

global $page_id;

which is not set! So, the ID of the current page cannot be restored after including the tabbed content. All blocks that would appear _after_ the tabbed code block will disappear, because $wb->page_id is now empty.

To fix this, change the function like this:

Code:

function get_page_content($get_id){
        global $wb;
$me_id = $wb->page_id;
        $wb -> page_id = $get_id;
        $wb -> get_page_details();
        page_content();
$wb->page_id = $me_id;
        $wb -> get_page_details();
}

(The lines not indented are the important ones.)

Hi,

i tested the modul...great, but...
if one of the pages does have big galleries the module crashes...
does someone have an idea why that happens??

Wow, this module is from 2007??? I can't believe I missed it!!! Super cool stuff, and soooo easy to implement. Thank you!

I installed on a default WB2.7 test site and I had no errors.

Hello Jurgen.

I saw your demo. Nice. Is the Form working in it correctly?

BTW: "This module lets you create a tabbed interface for WB sections."
It is not for "pages" insteand of "sections"?

Would be great if someone could give possibility for both: sections and pages.

Regards,
Stefek

[Argos]

You're right Stefek, it was "pages" 
Would be nice to be able to put sections as well, though!

More wishes:
- use alternative tab titles AND/OR use <br> within tab titles (useful if page titles are very long)
- (CSS) styling within admin

BTW The form works fine within the tab!

Ahh.now I see. The Tab-Name will be generated from the pagetitle - so no (or less) chance to meke it work with sections.


The styling of CSS should work with the "Addon File Editor" ;.)

If there would be an option to overrule the default page titles with custom titles, it should work with sections as well.

[Stefek]

Oh yess..

For that case we will need someone who is able to create a kind of dashboard for this.
I mean, than you won't need to use a "code" section but will be able to use this as a page-Module with additional adjustments. Also the Frontend CSS

But I don't know if someone is interested in it.
I mean, it's working good with Pages without any additional adjustments.
So what..

Stefek

Would also be nice to have a droplet version of it!

LOL We just "discovered" this little gem, and already we're asking for enhancements 

[snark]

I do not know if it comes in handy for someone but this is someting that looks a lot like the tabber...

Hallo,

vielleicht dasvon Yahoo! UI Library: TabView

Gruss
Dietmar

[Argos]

What's wrong with the one used? Why mention the alternatives? Are they better somehow? I don't get it... There are hundreds of scripts like that, there is no point in telling us other scripts exist. But they are not WB modules like this one...

[Luisehahne]

hi,

i think we need a standard. My meaning is jquery. What do you think about it. Your Tabview looks fine.
All module, that will come from me and work with java the jquery is standard.

For all jquery fans, here the link for the tabview.

It's not my module or script 
But I like it a lot. I use jQuery myself sometimes, and it's cool. But we are discussing WB modules here, not scripts per se. So discussing development tools or coding languages and whatnot should be discussed in the developers forum or something, not in this topic or forum. If you create a JQuery based tab module, please let us know.

Hold your horses man.. I was just trying to help here hah....

sorry if it offended you in any way, I looked into the used script and thought that the one I mentioned was maybe more suitable to be used in a module that can make it possible to create new items like f.i. a newsmodule can and make them become the tabs & content which to me looks much more handy to use.

[Argos]

Did I sound offended? I wasn't! I just did not understand the meaning of posting links to other scripts, without telling us why. Now you told us. Thanks 

[snark]

okay, sometimes I have to be more clear, you're right. I will try to make my ideas come to life later this week, for now I have a zillion spoedklussen ...
