Nodes As Tabs 1.5.1

[Jake Bunce]

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?

Ok I understand now. There is no other option to exclude children from being listed as secondary links.

Try this instead... move those nodes out of that tab so they are no longer children of the tab. Then use the Assign To Existing Tab option to assign those page nodes back to the original tab. That will make it so those pages select the specified tab without actually being children of that tab.

Pro tip - put each page node under a common parent, then use Assign To Existing Tab on the parent rather than setting it for each individual page node.

That is actually a legit use case too. I may add an option for that, where the child links obey Display in the node list.

I've noticed two more things:
1. When clicking on a node in the forum list tab, it changes the submenu - is it possible to keep the submenu as it was before and not display there the other nodes?

2. Once clicked on a node in the node list (forum tab), it's already pressed and it's impossible to show the node list again while you are at this tab. If I click on a node at forums tab, then want to show the node list again from this tab, it doesn't give me the option (only through the submenu) - is it possible to show the list regardless if I'm in the the forums tab or not?

For the root node? Disable this:

Admin CP -> Home -> Nodes As Tabs -> Enable Tab Selection For Root Node

You would have to edit the navigation template and replace {$extraTab.title} with {xen:raw $extraTab.title}. That should allow HTML in the tab title to pass through.

I did this, and it works! but it is not parsed in the nav breadcrumb for particular nodes.

i.e.

home> forum> <i class="icon-book"></i> library>

That would be the breadcrumb template. You can try changing some vars to use xen:raw in there. Be mindful of possible html injection by your users though.

I'm wasn't sure where to report this is, either in this thread or in the age forum add-on thread (@borbole )

I've discovered an incompatibility between the two add-ons. With the age forum enabled, I cannot ad new node tabs with this add-on. I can select the display as tab checkbox, save, but it doesn't save the node as a tab. I also cannot remove existing tabs with the age forum add-on allowed. Disabling the age forum allows me to work around this issue, but I thought I should bring it up.

Just curious, how have you narrowed it down to the two?

The Age forum add-on was one of the most recent I installed, so it was a good starting place when looking for the cause. Disabling it allowed Nodes as tab to work, enabling it stopped it from working.

 

[EQnoble]

Is it possible that it is not a conflict directly with nodes as tabs, I wonder if you disable all other addons and only enable 'NAT' and 'Age forum' if the problem still persists?

Fair point. Just disabled all except the two and the problem was still there.

 

[Jake Bunce]

I would need a copy of that addon so I can examine the code.

If they have not permission to create forum category nodes it should be Ok yeah?

Breadcrumbs can contain user-submitted values such as thread titles. The crumbs are not only nodes.

I want to make it like DP but how can I make the "Forums" Node to the Rood Node for that add on?

What DP has done there is basically a hack. This addon doesn't support such nonstandard behavior where a selected tab has a popup. This addon lets you recreate the popup menu from DP but it has to be a new tab.

If I ever add such a feature it would likely be a hack instead of a standard on/off feature that is built-in.

Here is another suggestion, which might be possible to do:



"Forum" menu now shows the number of unread threads (in red), but we don't see in which nodes specifically. There could be at least bold font for those nodes that have unread posts inside. What do you think about that?

Hmm. Not a bad idea.

Bold could work. At the very least I could add a CSS class for unread nodes. That would allow you to apply any styling you want.

Can you display a thread as a Tab ?

Is a thread a node ? (I don't think it is).

Nodes as Tabs:
Supports all node types (categories, forums, pages, and link forums).

Use a link-forum to link to the thread, then make that link-forum (which is a node) into a tab.

Then enable this option to make tab selection work in this case:

Admin CP -> Home -> Nodes As Tabs -> Enable Tab Selection For Link-forums

Note the description for this setting... the target of the link-forum must be a relative link for tab selection to work. In your case:

threads/thread-name.4/

Or without friendly URLs, which ever the case may be:

index.php?threads/thread-name.4/

Pages within the thread share the same base URL so they will be automatically pulled into that tab as well.
