Tabbed Table in Posts [library support]

[Alanna 🥀🖤]

Alright, that works. How about spaces between tabs? And height of tabs? I tried adding padding to the tabs but that didn't work.

[Wormopolis]

the tabs themselves are cells of a table, so padding wont work on them. it requires having an empty cell in between.

the height of tabs should be accessible though since cell height is affected by CSS.

How do I add an empty cell in between?

I got the CSS in there like so: [/PTab={height:30px;}] and it works, thanks.

For the border around the whole thing, put border:0px; in the closing code like so: [/PTabbedcontent={border:0px;}]

I had a feeling I could do that... though I'm trying to evade that because, 2 reasons actually...
- to help Wormopolis by reporting if it works or not
- most users on my forum won't turn the borders off every time they use it :/

thanks though

.post .message table.PT_table { stuff }

that selector in your forum CSS will allow you to overwrite the default stuff. I had a border on there to help show the box boundaries


you cant add extra cells in between the tabs. it has to be done in the code.

Oh, okay. When will that happen then?

I dont know. I work on these in my spare time. I dont concede to deadlines when I do this stuff for free.

I'm sorry... I didn't mean any harm... I don't need the spaces, don't worry about it.

lol you sound just like me XD
(F yo deadlines, I do what I wahnt) rofl

anyways...
I've gotten my issue working... somewhat...
the page: tcll5850.proboards.com/thread/150/u8-bh64
the code: .post .message table.PT_table tr td{ padding: 0px; }

every last cell has a padding of 0px, including tables defined inside it.
(and I can't restore the padding on the inner classes (as currently set))

why don't you just put the PT_Tabs_holder class on the outer TD instead of the table inside??
or better yet (forget that), define a new class and apply that to the outer TD to allow for no padding on the inner tabs...
(since I'm noticing that padding is defined specifically on the entire table, which for some reason doesn't work when you try and set the class)
^that's both IE8 and FF btw

Hi,

I love this plugin and we currently use it for a great number of things (ranging from character profiles, to creating sections for certain information posts). 
There's a question I have though.

Attached I added an PHOTOSHOPPED image.
I was wondering if it was somehow possible to accomplish this effect (adding a warbanner in the top right corner) and if so, how to do it. Warbanners will be custom images awarded to characters. So there will most likely be a great library of them, so editing the tabbed table plugin to add a specific image won't do. 

[Wormopolis]

how are the images awarded to characters? I mean, what is to stop anyone from using the image?

Mhmm, I haven't really thought about locking the images off. I was hoping members would abide by the rules.
But I think the awards system plug-in could be used to have "unique" images. 

If it's possible to tie it in like that, otherwise I'm not sure.

I got spaces in between tabs to work and submitted v1.1.1 to library



Im going to make a major change to this plugin at some point to do away with tables and go back to divs in order get transitions to work better

Well Im not sure how I could tie into a shop code for this.  but what I was thinking was I could add the username of the person posting into the class tag for the divs that appear.  the in your forum CSS, you could add in whatever extra formatting you wanted, including background image and placement.  however inline styling would overide it.. so if they put in their own background image it would cancel out whatever styling you had setup

Hrm, so all previous written tabbed tables will have to be re-written? As of yet, the transitions work great and even Presto tags works great within them... however, the Presto can only be on the first tab and only one. That is the only issue I've noticed.

If you are only changing the UBBC tags to <div styles> and it won't have to be re-written, then I have no complaints. It just took forever to get my tables to look exactly how I wanted them (minus the spaces between tabs and the fact that the first tab isn't selected by default even though I have that set in the plugin) and I don't really want to have to re-write them all.
