EXPLAINING THE CODE ABOVE CAUSE YOU NEED TO EDIT IT TO FIT YOUR NEEDS

Code: Select all

	var panels = new Array('tab1-panel', 'tab2-panel', 'tab3-panel', 'tab4-panel', 'tab5-panel', 'tab6-panel', 'tab7-panel');
Here you have the tabs names used for the javascript. You dont need to edit it - but you might need to delete some of them or add a new panel if you need more tabs.

Code: Select all

	var show_panel = 'tab1-panel';
Here you type in the panel name that have to be pre-selected

Code: Select all

		<li class="activetab" id="tab1-panel-tab"><a href="#tabs" onclick="subPanels('tab1-panel'); return false;"><span>All</span></a></li>
		<li class="" id="tab2-panel-tab"><a href="#tabs" onclick="subPanels('tab2-panel'); return false;"><span>Tab 2</span></a></li>
		<li class="" id="tab3-panel-tab"><a href="#tabs" onclick="subPanels('tab3-panel'); return false;"><span>Tab 3</span></a></li>
		<li class="" id="tab4-panel-tab"><a href="#tabs" onclick="subPanels('tab4-panel'); return false;"><span>Tab 4</span></a></li>
		<li class="" id="tab5-panel-tab"><a href="#tabs" onclick="subPanels('tab5-panel'); return false;"><span>Tab 5</span></a></li>
		<li class="" id="tab6-panel-tab"><a href="#tabs" onclick="subPanels('tab6-panel'); return false;"><span>Tab 6</span></a></li>	
		<li class="" id="tab7-panel-tab"><a href="#tabs" onclick="subPanels('tab7-panel'); return false;"><span>Tab 7</span></a></li>
This is the code that create the tabs. You may want to delete the panels you dont need.
You may want to change the tab names. You need to edit:

Code: Select all

<span>Tab 2</span>
to eg

Code: Select all

<span>This is my tab</span>

Code: Select all

		<div style="display: block;" class="panel bg1" id="tab1-panel">

EXPLAINING THE CODE ABOVE CAUSE YOU NEED TO EDIT IT TO FIT YOUR NEEDS

The above php code include 7 code boxes like this below. The first block differs and get news from all forums, but the 6 other block you might need to fit your needs.

Code: Select all

//T A B 2
$portal_config['portal_news_forum_tab2'] = '1, 2 ,3'; //Here you type in the forum_id af the forum you want to get the latest news from when pressing the tab. If you type in more forum they have to be comma separated
$fetch_news_tab2 = phpbb_fetch_posts($portal_config['portal_news_forum_tab2'], $portal_config['portal_number_of_news'], $portal_config['portal_news_length'], 0, ($portal_config['portal_show_all_news']) ? 'news_all' : 'news');

	if (count($fetch_news_tab2) == 0)
	{
		$template->assign_block_vars('news_row_tab2', array(
			'S_NO_TOPICS'	=> true,
			'S_NOT_LAST'	=> false

	}

			{

			}
			// unread?
			$forum_id = $fetch_news_tab2[$i]['forum_id'];
			$topic_id = $fetch_news_tab2[$i]['topic_id'];
			$topic_tracking_info = get_complete_topic_tracking($forum_id, $topic_id, $global_announce_list = false);

				'TITLE'					=> $fetch_news_tab2[$i]['topic_title'],
				'POSTER'				=> $fetch_news_tab2[$i]['username'],
				'U_USER_PROFILE'		=> (($fetch_news_tab2[$i]['user_type'] == USER_NORMAL || $fetch_news_tab2[$i]['user_type'] == USER_FOUNDER) && $fetch_news_tab2[$i]['user_id'] != ANONYMOUS) ? append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}memberlist.$phpEx", 'mode=viewprofile&u=' . $fetch_news_tab2[$i]['user_id']) : '',

				'TOPIC_VIEWS'		=> $fetch_news_tab2[$i]['topic_views'],
				'U_VIEWFORUM'		=> append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}viewforum.$phpEx", 'f=' . $fetch_news_tab2[$i]['forum_id']),
				'U_LAST_COMMENTS'	=> append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}viewtopic.$phpEx", 'f=' . $fetch_news_tab2[$i]['forum_id'] . '&p=' . $fetch_news_tab2[$i]['topic_last_post_id'] . '#p' . $fetch_news_tab2[$i]['topic_last_post_id']),

				'OPEN'					=> $open_bracket,
				'CLOSE'				=> $close_bracket,
				'S_NOT_LAST'			=> ($i < count($fetch_news_tab2) - 1) ? true : false,
				'S_POLL'				=> $fetch_news_tab2[$i]['poll'],
				'S_UNREAD_INFO'		=> $unread_topic,
			));
		}
	}
The blocks are differents like:

Code: Select all

$fetch_news_tab2
for tab2 where it would be

Code: Select all

$fetch_news_tab3
in the phpcode for tab3 etc.

You have to change:

Code: Select all

$portal_config['portal_news_forum_tab2'] = '1, 2 ,3'; //Here you type in the forum_id af the forum you want to get the latest news from when pressing the tab. If you type in more forum they have to be comma separated
Where

Code: Select all

'1, 2 ,3'
need to be replaced with the forum_id for the forums you need to have the latest posts from when pressing tab2. You need to do this for tab2-tab7. Not for tab1 as it give you the latest post from all forums!

Congrates you now have a tab-based menu!

I haven't taken a deeper look. Just my experience with the classes of prosilver (and this is why i'm so glad about our own css in the next version). ;)

patchup, but no fix

Posted: 7. June 2008 19:50

I got the forum to display again (minus a working tabbed news block) by:

Opening /portal/includes/functions.php

-comment out -- use /* and */ -- lines 153 to 232 (from "if($type..." to "//Instantiate BBCode...")
-on line 74, delete: $type, .

That allowed me to display my board again, but the tabs aren't showing any news ('cause i commented out the SQL requests, which were creating an error anyway.)

Please help us fix this error.

Well to you all did you change tabnews.php

Like

Code: Select all

$portal_config['portal_news_forum_tab2'] = '1, 2 ,3'; //Here you type in the forum_id af the forum you want to get the latest news from when pressing the tab. If you type in more forum they have to be comma separated
So there is the id's on forum you have... offcause it will not work if you dont have a forum with eg id=3

Re: Errors

Yes, I specified the forum IDs.

Better to make it work for anyone, rather than locking this thread!?
