*shrug*

it worked for me to get rid of all the spacing around the tabs when I tried it. maybe you have some further CSS adding it back in then.

moved it to the bottom and it worked, but only in the same manner as the image I just posted.

- outer border still doesn't work
- still that same padding between the tabs and the title
- ALL content in the tabs are affected (inner tables, tabs, and title all have no padding)

EDIT:
if there is anything else modding it, it would have to be defaulted by PB...
(I rarely ever touch the raw src as that's not what your supposed to do when GUIs with readily available options are provided for implementation)

still...
why do we still need a hack which still doesn't work properly when this was discussed 2-3 versions ago?? :/
why isn't there a fully implemented CSS class to be able to take care of this??

Then just don't use the friggin plugin.  I'm not here to cater to every little pixel you want to change.  Make a request in the request board for someone to write the exact thing you are looking for so you won't have to put up with my inferior programming abilities.

I didn't mean to offend...

may I request a copy of your src then??

Don't be rude. Wormopolis made this plugin for free and is doing his best to make it fit everyone's needs and desires. The problems you mentioned are barely problems at all since I got around all of them with just a few tweaks in the CSS within the posting and some in the Style Sheet. Try to get around the problems first before you demand a re-write.

Also, Wormopolis, I finally decided to update to see if your changes worked (the gaps not taking the background color on selection, etc.) however now the templates I have written do not work. Is there a different way I have to format it now? Here is a direct link to one template that is not working with the update but works perfectly well with the update before the last: grungegreentheme.boards.net/post/15

I wasn't trying to be rude :/
I was trying to inform that I can't get rid of the spacing between the tabs and the title

I can get the tabs to fit the width, but that also removes padding from the title, tabs, content area, and any tables in the content area

if you got it working properly w/o breaking the look, then can you please inform me as to how you did it. :/
images would also be nice and would greatly help describe things.

I borrowed a work laptop for a few days so I can look when I get back to hotel.  There shouldn't have been any formatting changes since it was done on the back end.  Can you PM me the post contents so I can load into test site?

oh I see
sorry I caused a commotion then :/

and sure
I'll just send you the one with the internal tables

Wooorrrm I am so sorry to bother you with probably the dumbest of dumb things.

But does this work inside of another template/layout? Like, if I had like

[div style= blah blah blah]

[/div]

around it would the tabbed table show up inside of it? Or is this not possible?

[Wormopolis]

It will work inside other pieces sure. However you cannot nest tabbed tables inside another tabbed table. The code won't like it. Trinity Blair is probably more of an expert on what this code can do then I am now...

EDIT: nevermind I dumbed and fix'd it myself.

But new question.

Say I have 13 tabs - cause I do. There's no number I can divide that by to make it even, so the last row is gonna be less than the top. Is there a way to just make the last row like... have the tabs stretch? SO like, 4 in one row, 4 in the next, etc., and then the last row is one tab that just goes across the entire table?

*blushes* Thank you but really I just fiddle with things to death which is why I figured stuff out. I applaud you for writing the plugin!

not easily no.. mainlt because its a single line that tells it to start a new row.  otherwise it increases the complexity exponentially when it has to use a lookup table for how many tabs across on every table it generates.

having it set to 1 number speeds up the process.

it gets further complicated if you want to strectch a single tab when it comes down to what happens in other circumstances.  you have one tab, but what if there was 2 tabs?  does one stay normal and the other strecth to fit?  it would simplify things if it was a general rule to stretch last tab to fit remaining columns...

I wouldn't mind if the code caused the last tab to fit the remaining columns but it's really not a huge deal.

Though I have a question now.

You can see here that I have code boxes inside of the tabs but the code button isn't clickable. Is there a reason for that? Er, like, can that just not work right inside the box or did I mess something up?

[Wormopolis]

code that use event binding will have all the events stripped off of them if they are rewritten to the page by direct HTML. that is essentially what the tabbed table code does is rewrite the HTML of the post. you would need all codes that used event binding to run after tabbed table.

I will see what I can do for an option to stretch last tab to fit remaining columns

Okay, so I'm a bit rusty with my coding skills, but after reading through this entire thread and trying to get the tabs to work. I still have nothing. I installed the plugin in the admin board, and I added the CSS into our style sheet, then I saved it and went to go try a test in a post and all that comes up is the words of the code: 

example

[PTabbedContent][PTab=Tabby1] blah blah blah[/PTab][PTab=Tabby2] blah blah blah[/PTab][/PTabbedContent]

I dunno if it's just something something that's not working in translation in our board, or if I'm just missing a step here somewhere. 


.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 */
This is what i have in our style sheet. I haven't changed any of the variables yet until i knew i could get the code to work. I installed the latest version too, and i've still not nothing. Anyone have some guidance?
