Nodes As Tabs 1.5.1

[Jake Bunce]

But the new addition with the forum list columns pop-up requires the node in question to be defined as the root node. Can you have it specified as the root node, yet listed as a child forum of a different forum, then displaying the dropdown off the entire forum menu from it's parents?

I'd ideally like to do this forum the index, but even testing it under a particular forum doesn't seem to work. Best I can tell this isn't possible.

No. This addon creates new tabs. The root node option is for the purpose of creating a new tab. In addition, this addon does not control non-node tabs such as the default Forums tab.

You need to use your node structure to build your navigation. You cannot create your own associations outside of your node structure. The root node is an exception for the purpose of creating a new tab.

There is some room for consideration of such features, but there are significant complexity and usability concerns when you go outside of the node structure.

In short, use the node structure. It's best that way.

The bottom part of my columns are transparent and has no background. No problems with ordinary (single-column) popups. Do they not use same style settings as the others?

Possible failed upgrade (re-upload the files and install / upgrade the addon again). Or maybe your nat_public_css.css template is customized from a previous version of the addon (revert that template).

Also try a default style. The menu styling uses secondaryContent for that background, and that must be an opaque background color.

Ah yes, that is the issue, I have simple white background in SecondaryContent. But I have no issues with the simple "popup menus", also enabled with nodes as tabs, I guess they do not use SecondaryContent. I will look in the nat_public_css.css and change what I need. Thanks for your help.

So it works on the default style, right? If it's your problem then whatever. But if it's something I need to fix then let me know.

To get columns "looking" good I had to move some backgrounds around. I had the give the entire popup div a background and then make the individual ul's transparent. That then creates a uniform background for column popups. I did this as generically as possible, referencing secondaryContent which is consistent with the default popups.

Hi Jake

I get an error when trying to update Nodes as Tabs. I get this:
Please enter a valid callback method (NodesAsTabs_Listen::bodyJS).

I am running XF 1.2.2

It appears that the files were not uploaded correctly. Re-upload the files, overwriting any previous files that exist in library/NodesAsTabs.

I've tried that a few times without luck. I'll download the zip again and start again.

I'm experiencing an odd issue. Whenever I put a tab in the position of "home," it not only takes the first position, but it renames the tab to Community. This isn't normal behavior, is it?

I'm looking to position 1-2 tabs either before my forum index/community tab or right after it, but it's tricky using not just nodes-as-tabs but the resource manager and better blogs.

The name of the node tab changes based on the position? That sounds like some other addon making changes. Or there is some confusion.

With multiple "home" tabs from different addons you may find the positioning options useful:

Admin CP -> Home -> Nodes As Tabs

Is it possible to show the New Posts link on the indiviudal tabs when browsing the forums associated with the tabs? This is a big complaint, that they have to go back to the forums tab to get the new posts link.

You can define a Links Template to add manual links under a tab, or use a link-forum.

I'm working with those force position settings already.

I have force order - home position: first

On the applications/edit categories for particular forums with tabs (the nodes as tabs settings), any time I set the position to "home," regardless of display order or forum in question, it automatically 1) places it first in the menu (even if force order is sent to the end position), 2) renames the tab in question to Community, 3) keeps existing/correct tab drop-down. Quite odd, but the tabs I'm dealing with are all Nodes as Tabs, tabs.

Any other ideas?

Any other ideas?

Send me admin (and perhaps FTP) access and I will take a look.

Hi @Jake Bunce,

Sorry if it was asked before, but is there a way to hide pages that aren't displayed in the node list from being displayed in the forums tab? (DP style). All my pages are currently shown, those that are hidden and shown alike.

Page nodes can be made into tabs using this addon. Or at the bottom (when editing a node) is an option to manually assign the node to an existing tabid (for the purpose of tab selection). If you don't want that node to select any tab then you can specify a tabid that doesn't exist. That will effectively deselect all tabs when that page is visited.

Oh.

You can enable Check Child Permissions, then deny access to those nodes with node permissions.

Would people still be able to access these pages?

Edit: I've tried to mark the Check Child Permissions, but then when I choose to deny access to these nodes (which are pages), then I can't access them with their direct link. Is there a way around it?
