What happened to my info center?

Forum URL: wlsctest.proboards.com


I've been messing around unsuccessfully trying to get the Tabbed Sections in Posts plugin to work for me and I also changed the background.
Those are the only things I've done before noticing this.

Now my info center is a mess. It has a slim line modification, if that matters.

I suspect the tabbed sections is causing this, but I'm stuck on trying to fix that.
I tried to post in the thread for that plugin, but every time I hit create, my post disappeared. No one had posted since 2013, maybe it is closed?

Thank you for your help!

Hey goodkel,

It looks like the width declarations on the HTML elements themselves aren't quite doing the trick, so let's try adding a width with CSS.

Go to Admin > Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Style Sheet tab and paste this at the bottom, see if it sorts the info center:

.container.stats > .content td {
width: 25% !important;
}

I like your layout, by the way -- got a clean feel to it

[David Clark]

Also, if you happen to want your category names to be fully centered (instead of center-left) -- add this along with it:

.container>.title-bar.bbcode h2 {
display: initial;
}

[goodkel]

PERFECT! Both of them worked beautifully.

Thanks for the compliment. It is going to look even better when I change the title bars and thin some lines.

Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong with the tabbed sections in posts plugin?

Thanks for the help!

Can you link to an example of it not working correctly, goodkel? I'm not too familiar with the plugin but I can take a peek.

These three boards are where I made the attempt to combine them into one post with horizontally aligned tabs:

Thanks for helping!

Hey goodkel -- at first glance it looks like you might be inputting the wrong syntax -- I just made a post in that thread using Wormo's example code that I snatched from the plugin's support thread and it seems to be functioning pretty well.

I don't see your tab.

I created another thread named "Vitamin Resources" to place the tabs in, maybe that was the problem. They had no place to go.

So, if I post this in Vitamins Resources:

PTabbedContent]

[PTab=Tab 1 stuff] blah blah blah [/PTab]

[PTab=Tab 2 stuff] blah2 blah2 blah2 [/PTab]

[PTab=Tab 3 stuff] blah3 blah3 blah3 [/PTab]

[/PTabbedContent]

with [PTab=Tab 1 stuff] for the title ie: [PTab=Vitamin List] is the "blah, blah, blah" part the link to the actual thread?

[David Clark]

Sorry I didn't specify, my tabs that use Wormo's example code can be found here: wlsctest.proboards.com/post/13/thread

The "blah blah blah" represents the content you want to appear in that tab. It can be a link, a picture, or anything.

[goodkel]

Tried it out on my active board thinking that a lack of content might be making it more confusing to me.

Posted the following in the thread "Vitamin Resources" and got this:



Sigh.

I thought that there would be actual tabs...like the peekaboo tabs some people have, just in a post.

Can you link me to the post in your screenshot? Looks like the plugin isn't doing anything at all there, so maybe it's not loading or not present.

[goodkel]

You are exactly right, David. I had not yet installed the plugin on my working board. Did that and it is working now.Unfortunately it only shows the link when you click on them. It does not redirect to the content.

Can you tell me how to use the following CSS codes to make it appear as tabbed files? And actually provide some content? Thank you!

.post .message table.PT_table {width: 90%; border: #000000 1px solid;} /* Overall table default */
.PT_table .PT_table_header {text-align: center; font-weight:bold; font-size:20px;} /* Table title if there is one */
.PT_table .PT_tabs {text-align:center; background-color: #EEEEEE; border-left: #000000 1px solid; border-right: #000000 1px solid} /* Tabs unselected */
.PT_table .PT_tabs_selected {text-align:center; background-color: #9999CC} /* Tabs selected */
.PT_table .PT_tabs_hover {text-align:center; background-color: #44CC44} /* Tabs hover */
.PT_table .PT_tabs_selected_hover {text-align:center; background-color: #44CC44} /* Tabs selected Hover */
.PT_table .PT_spots {background-color:#DDDDDD;} /* The content sections under the tabs */

You can see what it looks like here:

[goodkel]

Never mind. Wormopolis seemed surprised that I expected a redirect when clicking on tab. This plugin only provides link. No content.

I wish that had been mentioned somewhere.

I am sorry for wasting your time and mine on this.

[David Clark]

Are you saying you were going for a tab that shows another webpage in the content area when you expand it, goodkel? If so, unfortunately, it wouldn't be possible as the software is not designed to function inside an iframe.
