post Tabs

postTabs allows you to easily split your post/page content into Tabs that will be shown to your visitors.

The colors of the tab can be easily changed to match you theme

Tested on Firefox, IE6, iE7, Opera, Safari and Konqueror.

Please note that although it was tested in all major browsers, it still can have some conflict with a specific theme on a specific browser, and then you will need to adjust you css by hand.

. Extract it to the “plugins” folder of your wordpress
. In the Admin Panes go to “Plugins” and activate it
Upgrade

hi Leo
i just tested your plugin postTab with wordpress 2.5.1 . It works perfectly.
I wish to let you know one or two thing i would love to see modified.The code that you use for adding the admin option ,you have used short starting tags

<?=
which does not works on the server,if the shot begining tag for the PHP is not enabled.Most of the time ,it is common to be not enabled.So the admin option breaks.Please modify it to the commonly supported tag <?php
I have modified the occurences,so if you wish please plet me know.i will send you the updated files.

Thanks a lot for sharing this plugin.i love it’s functionality.

have a good day

Hi Leo.
Excellent tab plugin however the admin section doesn’t work for me - I cannot change colours etc. I am using WP 2.5.1
Any thoughts?

leogermani (09:34:28) :

Chris,

Give some more information.. any errors appearing? can you see the config page,? does it save the values?

Chris Jones (06:01:30) :

Hi Leo
I can see the config page but it doesn’t save the values. In fact after saving, the formatting of the tabs disappears and I have to re upload the plugin to get it back.
Thanks for looking into this.

Kaiserlino (18:40:45) :

Opa…
Fico feliz em ver mais um excelente plugin, e vi que dá para dar grandes utilidades em sites com diversos posts de vídeo (o meu por exemplo que tem posts com 3 a 4).
Porém veio uma dúvida que no momento não posso testar.
Ele funciona 100% no Ie6?

Outra coisa, sabe de alguma incompatibilidade do .js dele com alguma framework?
Normalmente uso apenas o Jquery e o Mootools, o 2o foi ok, o primeiro irei testar mais tarde.

Abraços
PS: aguardo resposta, para iniciar um post falando sobre o mesmo.

aparentemente um bug.

25 06 2008
leogermani (22:11:18) :

salve kaiserlino,

sim, funciona no ie6

não, não deve ter nenhum conflito com nada. o javascript é super simples.

Acessei aqui e não vi bug nenhum… os dois videos abriram de boa. (mas depois q dá play não tem botão pra parar.. é isso mesmo?)

Mas o teu tema tem um lance q tá deixando as abas feias…

na linha 259 do teu style.css tem um padding sendo aplicado a um monte de elementos.. tira o “.entry ul” dessa lista.. q vai ficar melhor

abs

Kaiserlino (22:33:13) :

Valeu pela Dica Leo…

Então cara, o problema dos vídeos tá variando de máquina pra máquina.
Testei em 6 aqui dos laboratórios tanto no Ie7 como no FF 2 e 3 e tá indo as vezes o botão lá pra cima…
Mas também é de menos…
foi uma curiosidade…

Removi o padding, porém lembrei pq eu adicionei ele…iuhauiahauih
Era para não ter que inserir nem quando terminasse do post para inserir um vídeo ou outras coisas…
agora ficou tudo mais junto…mas vou deixar assim e ver no que dá…

Great plugin. It works wonders in posts, however, I am using the wp-ecommerce plugin and want to use this this to put tabs in my products description. Inside the plugin you build product descriptions in a text area, and it would be great if I could implement tabs into those descriptions. I tried adding the code, but it didn’t work. Any help would be great. Thanks for the awesome plugin.

26 06 2008
leogermani (18:53:38) :

hi bujaman,

Maybe its only a question of setting the priority of postTabs so we make sure it runs after all other filters… Im not sure how e-commerce works exactly, but try the follow:

open postTabs.php

on line 150, change it so it looks like this:
add_filter(’the_content’, ‘postTabs_filter’,15);

let me know if it works,

cheers

thank you for this amazing plugin, i used it for image gallery and video gallery but the problem is te gallery have pages, So once i press the second page or next it will navigate me to the first tab but if i click on the images tab i will found that the gallery in the second page, my question is, can we refresh the page without navigating to the first tab ?

you will help me alot if this problem solved.

thank you

great plugin, still having some difficulties:

- the tabs don’t work, if you click on them I get an error in firebug, you can check it out here:http://pacura.ru/about/ the error is: postTabs_show is not defined
javascript:postTabs_show(0,2)
Line 1
- in the post tabs admin page I can’t select any colors, also get firebug errors: showColorGrid3 is not defined
http://pacura.ru/wordpress/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=postTabs.php

I hope yo ucan help out.

P.S. bear in mind, that I installed wordpress into a directory, not into the root…

1 07 2008
leogermani (12:19:45) :

Hi ovidiu,

Thats precisely the problem. And seems that you have other plugins installed with the same problem. Ill fix that for the next release. meanwhile you can fix it by hand lookin the code for anyplace where you find the directory structure and adding your subfolder before “wp-content/plugins…” (note that this is a temporary ugly fix)

I also have noticed that the tabs dont appear well formated on your site. use firebug and look for some style that is being applied to the posttabs ul such as height or padding and disable it …

cheers

Leo,,

ps - about posttabs on the sidebar.. this is not trivial, because it would be nice to add widgets inside wach tab.. but I reckon it would be something strange to handle… and I would have to change the plugin name

ovidiu (04:57:42) :

I’ll try your advice immediately, but I am still wondering why a lot of plugins break because of this small change I have. And installing into a folder, I found on the wordpress codex. There are even installation instructions for installing into a subfolder: http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#In_a_Subdirectory

If I had known this would cause me so much trouble, I”d avoided it long ago.

2 07 2008
ovidiu (08:30:08) :

Hi, Thanks for the plugin. It works great with my test post.

Before I start using this, can you tell me what will happen to the RSS feed? Will these tab affect the contents of a post in anyway in the RSS feed version?

Please let me know.

Thanks, JK

4 07 2008
leogermani (16:38:41) :

JK,

The feed works.

All tabs are visible.

The bad thing is that the tab titles appears as an unordered list at the top. Give it a try.. Ill check if I can fix it..

cheers

Leo,,

5 07 2008
JK (00:25:31) :

Thanks leogermani for a quick reply.

Now I’m facing another issue with this plugin. It does not work well with WP-PRINT plugin which allows a visitor to print a blog post. When the wp-print plugin pulls the contents from the database, it prints all text contents correctly however when it hits “[tab:” section of the post, it confuses and leaves “javascript:” call in the printed page.

How do I fix this to work with wp-print plugin?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

thanks, JK

5 07 2008
JK (08:37:47) :

Leo, Sorry that I’ve given incorrect info.

Actually when I print a blog post using WP-PRINT, it shows the tab names in ordered list at the top of the page just like the way you described for the RSS feed behavior.

For example, if I have 2 tabs “Method A” and “Method B” with contents in each tab, it displays perfectly on the screen. However when I print it, it shows like the following:

Method A (=> It becomes an URL with onclick=Javascript:Posttabs_show…)
Method B (=> Same as above)

Method A contents…………sdasdasdasd asdasdas

Method B contents…….aasdasdasdasdasdasdas

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Instead of:

Method A
Method A contents…………sdasdasdasd asdasdas

Method B
Method B contents…….aasdasdasdasdasdasdas

I think that once you fix the RSS feed display behavior, this problem also should go away.

For your efforts on fixing this issue, I’ll make a donation as well :-)

Thanks again for your time, JK

Fiquei surpreso quando ví que esse plug-in tão útil havia sido desenvolvido por um brasileiro. Muito bacana.

Mas acho que tenho duas dúvidas bem simples.

1. Tenho o mesmo problema que o Ulisses teve ao por várias tabs, mas ele falou que conseguiu consertar, mas não entendi qual propriedade ele mudou.

2. Se notar no teste que fiz no link abaixo, as abas aparecem com uma setinha ao lado de cada um. Eu tentei achar esse caracter, mas nada…

leogermani (00:47:34) :

Hi everyone,

just released a new version of postTabs with lots of fixes and new features based on your feedback

thanks everyone and enjoy!

Changelog:
* Even better cross-theme CSS compatibility

* fixed - now xhtml compliant (tks to ovidiu)
* fixed - path to javascript works with wordpress installed on subdirectory (tks to ovidiu)

New Features

* Choose the tabs alignment
* When page reloads it remembers wich tab was opened
* You can choose wether tabs links will only show-hide tabs or will point to a individual permalink for each tab

Robert (16:35:26) :

Nice plugin. I have an idea for it. Right now, with how it interacts with content and header, it displays the tabs on the main index page in the comment listings even if just showing an excerpt. Is there a way to modify the tabs to only show up on the single_post page? What I would like to see is the front page completely unmodified and tabs only available after clicking on post and displaying the single entry. Hope that makes sense. I messed around with it for a bit but no luck. Thought it might be an idea you would find useful and be able to integrate. I used the latest 2.5 plugin with wp 2.5.1.

JK (21:03:46) :

Hi Leo,

A couple of observations (one feature & a possible bug)

1) When I hover over the mouse on the tabs, it shows
“Javascript:postTabs_show(1,222)” etc on the status bar. Would it be
possible to show the “Tab Name” instead? For example, if my tab name is
“Ingredients”, then I want to show “Ingredients” in the status bar when I
hover over that tab. If it’s possible, please tell me how to do that.

That would be a great option to the plugin.

2) Secondly the bug: When I choose the Permalink option via Settings, it goes back to my home page as opposed to opening the tab contents on the post. What is the problem and how do I fix this?

Thanks, JK

18 07 2008
pinzaru (10:03:34) :

This plugin would be awesome if you can make it to show a TOB - TABLE OF TABS :) - for a convenient navigation.

I noticed that people when they reach the end of the page, do not scrool back to select the next tab…

Can you to this?

Many thanks in advance.

pinzaru

good idea!

Leo,,

18 07 2008
pinzaru (18:42:58) :

OK, then i’m staying tuned for this feature.

A list* containing the name of the tabs would greatly improve navigation on tabbed pages. (I have a TOP 10 page… first tab showing 1-5 places…and the other showing 6 to 10…. and my girl friend… and some other persons asked me where is the rest? :-o - not being aware of the second tab…)

*a drop down menu option would be very nice also

Thanks again.

Elizabeth Day (21:57:01) :

I installed plugin and was sure I followed instructions, everything looks right but tabs don’t link. I removed plugin and tried other types (sidebar) I like yours better. Can you tell me what I did wrong?
Thanks

20 07 2008
JK (09:59:51) :

Leo, Here is another idea in the place of TOC and I think everyone will love this.

The whole idea behind TOC is the navigation of tabs, correct? If a tab contains more information and the user wouldn’t know to scroll up and navigate it to the next tab. Here is another idea instead of TOC at the bottom.

At the end of each tab, can you add “Previous” and “Next” options to go to previous and next tabs.

Here is an example:

If there are 3 tabs (”Option-A”, “Option-B”, “Option-C”)

In “Option-B” tab, let’s say we have a paragraph of text:

Option-B
Some-text
Some-Text
Some-Text

<>

This will help the visitor to click on the Option A and Option B at the bottom to continue with the navigation.

In “Option-A” tab, you would have only one link at the bottom for “Option-B” and similarly, for “Option-C” tab, you would have only one link at the bottom for “Option-B” only.

Hope you understand where I’m getting at. This will be a better option in place of TOC. Please think about this and let me know your thoughts.

Thanks, JK

great plugin indeed,
but i need some help here, i´m using the tabs to organize some videos, but the titles in the tabs could be sometimes too long, so lets say 2 tabs where ok, but the third gets cut up, one half is tabbed in the firstline, and directly under the first line of tabs, there ist the second half, but this is one thing i do not want.
Second, it would be cool, if there is a way, where i can tip in a code like “” to prevent the case i mentioned.
Third, the second tab line shouldnt be placed so close to the first one.

2008 Plugin Competition Review, Part 2 of 2 « planetOzh (12:14:16) :

[…] post Tabs splits posts into a tabbed interface That is a rather cool idea that will probably find its audience. I could easily use something similar on my blog, for instance on plugin pages where I would have a first tab about the plugin concept, a second tab about detailed documentation, then a tab about download and install instruction, and finally a tab with a FAQ. Good stuff: all the admin part is in a separate file that doesn’t load in memory when someone views the public part of the blog. The 13 saved options of the plugin are all in the same DB entry. The code is fairly clean and well commented. Weird stuff: all the javascript is old school code that seems to have escaped from a 1998 web page. I mean, I thought everybody was in love with jQuery nowadays, right? The color picker is pretty ugly too, with a very limited set of colors. Bad stuff: hardcoded path to the plugin directory, nothing is sanitized or checked before being stored in options. Improvable stuff: all the javascript could be improved and made less obstrusive, with behaviors added to span elements instead of making up links with href=”javascript:something”. This would also allow for more degradable stuff when javascript is turned off, instead of having hidden tabs you cannot read. The whole stuff could be more “semantic” too: having an unordered list of tab names followed by divs containing the tab contents seems ugly to me and will be unreadable when printed or with a screen reader. All the javascript should load only if a post on the page needs it, instead of being unconditionally added into the page <head>. […]

Suggestion: If JavaScript is not enabled, all tabs should show — maybe with an h3 header (admin-changeable) showing what the tab name would have been.

In fact, you could modify this plugin so that the author writes the post/page as normal, but there’s a tab break any time they use:

<h# class=”tab”>Header Text</h#>

This would have two BIG advantages:

1) Degrades gracefully if no JavaScript
2) If the plugin is turned off, it just shows the one page with headers.

Nice idea — needs a bit of polish. Keep it up!

Caffeine Overload (16:37:30) :

Great plug-in. I am experimenting with it for a redesign of my web site. I don’t know much about the code site of things but from a design perspective I wish you could put a box around all of the content. This way there is division of the tabs from the rest of the content below the tabs.

leogermani (02:40:45) :

Hi guys, thanks for the feedback.

Stephen, I do take care of the post appearence when its a rss feed or when the page is loaded whithout the attached css, such as a print page. The possibility to be javascript independent is good though.

Caffeine, Yes it is definetly a good option. While I dont implement, you can use the tip on this post!

cheers

Amanda Gillespie (11:44:35) :

Please help — I love this plugin, but I need two things (and I don’t mind hackign the php, if you’d give me an idea of where to start):

I have a page with a number of tabs, and I need to break the tabs onto a second line. I’d like to be able to specifiy a new tab break (feature-request for future release), rather than the tab break in the middle. I’m not sure if I explained that properly — Line breaks should be between tabs, not in the middle of a tab title.

That’s the most urgent request.

Secondly — is there any way to get both permalink AND hide-show tabs? I’d really like to be able to link to the appropriate tab and have that tab automatically opened when the page loads. Perhaps some way of passing the javascript variable from the href?

18 08 2008
leogermani (16:03:05) :

hi Amanda,

About the first issue, you can fix this in the css. Open style.php and play around. look for line height and similar parameters… I really dont see a way to have to lines looking nive, thats why I didnt do anything in that direction yet.

About the second point: You can live the tabs as hide-show, and set the option “Display tab permalink inside tab body” to “only to registered users”. This way you will be able to copy a permalink to a tab and use it.

cheers

Sascha (20:15:00) :

Hi there,

first thanks for this nice plugin, it works fine on the blog of our record shop I work for.
But now I tried to install it n my own blog, I simply get an empty white page and have to manually rename it in th plugins folder to be able to use my Wordpress at all again.

The only difference I see might me be different versions of php… on my server, it runs php5, whereas the other might still php4 (couldn’t test it yet).

both use WP 2.6.1. german version, and the same set of plugins overall.

any idea what might be the cause of this problem? I haven’t foudn any comment here who had the same trouble so far…

Thanks in advance for any help!

first, this is a genial ideea!
i’m using PostTabs on my WP 2.6, with Justin Tadlock’s Option theme, and it works fine. i’m so very happy with my new toy, think it extend the possibilities of my theme. i also thinh PostTabs would be a great cookie for other theme.
just one more think - can you make, in the future updates, something like a button or so, for an easily use?
PS: sorry for my english, i’m mot a native speaker

Hey, leogermani.
Did you thought about Stephen R’s idea? Was just thinking about the same and it’s a little bit sad, that you can’t use the site, if you haven’t activated JS. It would be firstly enough to give the option to have a perma-link at the end of the post. If this would be possible, you would be the hero of my day. :D

Hi, Thanx for the plug in. I really love it.
I have a problem, hope u can help me.

The tabs work fine with the exception of one case: If I select one “category or tag” in my sidebar, then the posts under that cathegory/tag don’t display the tabs!!, instead you can read the tab names as colums and then the rest of the post.

Any suggestion

Is there anyway to have this work by adding the [tab:Tab1] to my theme pages? It works when adding to individual posts, yes, but not individual theme pages, like index.php or singlepost.php which would be better… =/

Hi there,
great job. Exactly what I need for my news blog site.
But I would like to use it on first page like e.g.:
tab1=>a post of category world news,
tab2=>a post of category politics
… and so on with permalinks.
Something like wordpress plugin site.
Any idea how to do it?

Thanks, Saeid

Desean (00:18:42) :

Was wondering if is it possible to change the orientation of the tab to the left or right? an example can be found here: http://dhtmlx.com/docs/products/dhtmlxTabbar/samples/tabs_orientation/tab_all.html

if not, what happens if there are too many tabs to fit the width of the screen, for example 50 tabs??? scrolling bar maybe?

Sourena (23:56:53) :

Gabriel (19:46:55) :

Hi Leo - I try to build a multi-lingual blog. The translations are made with the plugin “Qtranslate”. Wordpress generates the following code:
[lang_zh][tab: -1-]
This
[tab: -2-]
is
[tab: -3-]
Chinese
[tab: -END-][/lang_zh][lang_ru][tab: -1-]
This
[tab: -2-]
is
[tab: -3-]
Russian
[tab: -END-][/lang_ru][lang_en][tab: -1-]
This
[tab: -2-]
is
[tab: -3-]
English
[tab: -END-][/lang_en][lang_de][tab: -1-]
This
[tab: -2-]
is
[tab: -3-]
German
[tab: -END-][/lang_de]

So it looks for every language the same! - But tabs are only working with the main language - i my case “German” This does not mean I do not see the tabs - but i can not navigate in case of changing for example to russian language- to the next tab - on every tab there is shown the content of the first.
Here an example: http://www.fooduu.com/2008/09/14/for-leo-german/
Nevertheless - the plugin is a great thing! If you have an idea that helps- thanks in advance - Gabriel

15 09 2008
leogermani (17:51:50) :

hi Gabriel,

I found the problem. but didnt have time yet to look for the solution. but it should be simple.

When you switch to another language, it adds a wrong link to the js plugin file. Like this:

http://www.fooduu.com/en//wp-content/plugins/posttabs/postTabs.js

see that there is this “en” folder and also a duplicated slash. I have to see why its happening.. ir should have somthing to do with the multi lingual plugin..

cheers

george (02:19:24) :

How do I make multiple tabs in the same post?

Example:

- FIRST LIST
[tab:Title1]
[tab:Title2]
[tab:END]

- SECOND LIST
[tab:Title1]
[tab:Title2]
[tab:END]

It seems that creating multiple tabs in the same post is not allowed. When I do the above, I get the SECOND LIST tabs in the FIRST LIST.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Hi Leo,

I use your plugin on my site, but recently have noticed that it is causing my feeds to give an interoperability error when I try to validate the feed. It says the feed is valid but gives this error:

content:encoded should not contain script tag

and then it highlights this line:

if(postTabs_getCookie(’postTabs_1111′)) postTabs_show(postTabs_getCookie(’postTabs_1111′),1111);]]>

I’m trying to trace down a problem with my atom feed, but this showed up when I began testing plugins against the feed validator.

Is this a problem, and what does it mean? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Lucian

Thanks for the reply Leo. The interoperability error doesn’t seem to cause any trouble, but I thought I’d ask. It turns out that the plugin *Digg Integrate* causes the same type of error, but it doesn’t cause any trouble either.

BTW your plugin is simply brilliant!

Allison (22:40:43) :

Hello, this plugin is exactly what our post needed. However, I was wondering if there is a way to stack two rows of tabs. Some of the “titles” on the tabs were a bit long, and ended up moving the sidebar items under the post instead of being in the right hand column.

Would this be a simple CSS change or would it be more complicated?

petelingo (21:53:35) :

Leo,

Hats off to you for your sterling work. This is truly a superb plugin. Unfortunately, I haven’t really got it to work at all. I tried version 2.7 of this plugin on WP 2.6.2 and it would create the tabs perfectly, but there’d be no content in any of the tabs beyond the 1st tab. (Bizarre). So, I deactivated ALL my other plugins. Same thing. I downgraded my sandbox WP installation to 2.6.0. Same thing. And last of all, I thought I’d try the version it is supposed to be compatible up to, according to Wordpress.org. (WPv2.5). So I tried WP legacy release 2.5. Same thing. I can’t fathom what’s happening at all? Any light you can shed would be immensely helpful matey.

Thanks a million in advance.

Pete.

30 09 2008
petelingo (21:56:23) :

Oh yes, I forgot to mention. On my post index or archive pages, posts making use of this plugin are displayed with the text [tab:blah blah]. This can’t be right can it?
