Tabbed Content
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Would anyone be interested in a block for tabbed content that uses the jQuery UI tab plugin seen here:
http://ui.jquery.com/demos/tabs/...
Right now I've been using this plugin in the regular content block, but it doesn't actually work right when I'm editing the content in the wysiwyg editor...I just have to switch to HTML mode. I'm thinking it would be cool to have a block specific for creating tabbed content, with options for selecting transition type (fade,slide,etc.)
I'm pretty sure this would be quite useful to me, but I just wanted to get some input from others...

i love the slider block idea! i'm actually usually a similar effect on a non-C5 site i do, so having the ability to do it automatically in C5 would be great!
JGARCIA is there any additional update on this tabbed display script?
Just wondering if you had finished it.

this is still on my list. i might can knock it out in the next day or so. i'll let you know.
jgarcia,
sounds very interesting where can i get this block?
i was considering this for my website to do.
thanks in advance.

i should be able to finish this block up today or tomorrow and will post it both to this forum and to my web site. will let you all know when it is ready.
cant wait - I think this will make a great block.
The tabbed content block would be a great one to have. Very much looking forward to it.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Thanks for doing this. I was thinking about it the other day.
This sounds great, I'm definitely looking forward to it as well! :)
i know there are a few folks out there who are kind of waiting on this...just wanting to let you know it's still in the works. actually about 80% complete probably. i was hoping to get it done at the end of this past week, but i had a big high priority project come up. anyways...i'm shooting for the end of this week now.
anymore updates on this tabbed block jgarcia? Client is wanting this on the next site we do and the design is being sent to me sometime today.
bryan - yes it's still in the works...it's just on hold until i finish up a project that has to be completed by friday. i will let you know
thanks man! I'm pumped for this block! sorry to bug...
will we be able to choose the colors of the tabs and what not? width's, title colors, stuff like that?
That should all be done with css
Any updates on this? Was in the process of building my own, but would be great not to have to.
Sorry for the slow down on this. It's about 85% complete...just haven't had the chance to finalize it. I'm going to say probably another two weeks - I'm going to be out of town for a little while and honestly don't have much intention of spending a lot of time on the computer :) Forgive me!
;)
Just came across this in another thread and something along these lines would be great...

It could kill two birds with one stone as it could be used as both a tabbed brower and also a slider.

i know there's a lot of folks out there (or at least a few) that are looking forward to this block, so i apologize that i hadn't had much time to work on it lately - been pretty busy with other projects. i'm going to make it a priority this coming week and am setting a goal to complete it by one week from today.
i will keep everyone updated on the progress in the coming days. thanks

On target to finish tomorrow! I know folks are waiting on this one...thanks for your patience. It's been a busy summer! If I don't finish it tomorrow I will give it to anyone who has asked about it thus far for free! Otherwise it will be 5 bucks.
I will require version 5.3 in order to take advantage of the Scrapbook page in the Dashboard (5.3 is where Scrapbook was added to the dashboard right?). I had originally planned on simply creating the content within the block itself, but using the newer Scrapbook functionality will allow the block to "tabify" other block types, rather than just HTML content.

The tabbed content block would be a great one to have definitively.

Sounds great! Ill be online waiting
Well, it's been submitted to the marketplace. Apparently my claim that I would give it away for free if I didn't finish it today was enough to motivate me to get it done (it will be available a mere $5).
As I mentioned in my previous post, it requires version 5.3 of C5 in order to take advantage of the custom scrapbooks feature. This allows the contents of the tab to be any other block type available on your site.
Until it's approved by the official C5 folks, you can view a demo athttp://www.sixeightmedia.net/concrete5.3.2/tabbed_content/...

Come on guys, we can use this..
jgarcia - the demo looks awesome in Firefox but doesnt seem to be working in IE7 - it looks like it's throwing a javascript error or something. I attached a screenshot so you can see what it's doing.
thanks for letting me know. seemed to be working in IE8. i have tested in FF3, IE8, Safari (on mac and pc) and it does seem to be working in those. the IE7 bug looks to be an easy fix - i'll adjust asap and get a new version to the C5 team before they post it in the marketplace (hopefully).
is there a way we can get the demo?!?
Just adding to the praise.. the demo looks amazing – literally cannot wait until it gets to the marketplace
bryan - yeah the demo is uphttp://www.sixeightmedia.net/concrete5.3.2/tabbed_content... i'm just waiting for it to be approved by the C5 team. it will only be available in the marketplace.
that was an easy fix...just had a stray comma that apparently other browsers were able to ignore.http://www.sixeightmedia.net/concrete5.3.2/tabbed_content...
cant wait to get this! great work Justin!
Can't wait!
did you resubmit this fixed version to the marketplace? it looks really clean by the way. thanks for meeting the package requirements :-)
i just uploaded the new zip file to the URL that i had previously submitted to them.
oooh, hope this is approved soon! Could really use it for a site i'm developing!
if you need this block asap, just send me a direct message here on the forums and we can work something out before hand where i can get it to you manually.
This block has been pushed live to the marketplace. Download it here:

Thanks Justin!

Thanks Justin!
Enjoy folks...and let me know what you think!
Firstly this block is fantastic – great work Justin, i know there was a lot of hard work and time put in this.
I thought it was a particularly interesting (and clever) decision to use the scrapbook to grab the content here thus allowing embedding blocks in blocks.
My wonder/worry is whether the scrapbook has any sort of capacity — on the site i have built the main content of the site will rely on each page having a tabbed content block, and thus a separate scrapbook. Also the site will grow by about 50 of these pages in a year (20 or so will already exist on the site) And thus i could over time be looking at 100 separate scrapbooks.
Anyone know if there is a limit to the number of scrapbooks? I guess, knowing c5 to be pretty robust, that this won't be a problem and the only limitation is my own neuroses about wanting to keep things tidy — perhaps in the long run a scrapbook manager will be necessary to put scrapbooks into folders.

the scrapbook tabs block is probably great for most situations, but yeah, in your situation managing all those scrapbooks might be a pain. You can always just make up a new page type, where an entire area is expandable with javascript. For any one that's made page types before and knows a little javascript, it would probably take only about 5-10 minutes to do:
<a href="#" onclick="$('#expandoAreaWrapper').toggle(milliseconds);return false">More Info</a>
<div id="expandoAreaWrapper" style="display:none">
<?
$a = new Area('Expando Blocks');
$a->display($c);
?>
</div>
thanks olay! glad you're able to put this to use!
i doubt there is any limit to the number of blocks you can have in a scrapbook or the number of scrapbooks you can have in total. of course, if you were to have an incredibly large number of scrapbooks, you might eventually notice some sort of lag in load time, but you'd probably have to have a totally unmanageable number of scrapbooks before that happens. even though 100 scrapbooks is a lot, i still doubt that would affect performance in any way.
i would guess, as the core team release new versions, the features of the scrapbook would continue to grow, as it has already since the initial release of C5 - if the demand calls for it. if you have any specific thoughts or suggestions, feel free to share as i'm sure the c5 team would be glad to listen and see if they are feasible.

Thanks Tony and Justing for your responses...
Tony – i'll investigate this option for other purposes – very kind of you to start me off with some code.

Hello,
I'm still new at Concrete5, so I just came across this discussion today. I'm also in need of a good tabbed block for my sites.
This seems like a good element designed by jgarcia.
Is there anywhere to see a demo of this add-on? The Concrete5 listing page points to a non-functional URL.
Thanks,
Matthew

Yeah, I'm actually working on those links today, but until then, here's an example:

jgarcia,
Thanks for your response. Yes, that looks good.
I am looking for a tabs function that is minimal in design, but with smooth (elegant) transition options. Seems like you have it!
Thanks again,
Matt
PS: Sorry about the double post! I don't know how that happened.
