Forum:Tabs

I have seen other Wikis where it is possible to make tabs inside of pages. Like on Wikimon (http://wikimon.net/Unimon).

This code does not work when I try to copy it to any Wikia. I have made certain that the Template:! exists on said Wikias and has the same content. Is it possible to replicate something like this at all on Wikia or is the feature not present?--DarkMastero 09:01, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

 * This is a very cool feature! Thanks for drawing attention to it. --najevi 12:35, October 8, 2009 (UTC)


 * We actually have this on avatar, see w:c:avatar:User:Ose/dev for an example, as we're thinking of redoing the mainpage using tabs (similar to FFXI's mainpage). ~Joey~   ^Talk^  13:49, October 8, 2009 (UTC)


 * On that note, the tabber extension (request it to beactivated wiht Special:Contact) is preferable over tab view, as it has a better fallback solution if javascript is turned off. A page using tabview will not display any of the tab content if there is no JS. Tabber on the other hand, should "stack" the content if JS is turned off. 20:26, October 8, 2009 (UTC)


 * My concern with TabView (or Tabber for that matter) is that it takes a while to load. A user not familiar with the site may be turned off it he or she thinks they are looking at a blank page. Is there some way that TabView can be implemented where if it is still loading the user sees a message like "Please be patient. Content is loading..."? --DaNASCAT 06:37, October 9, 2009 (UTC)


 * Is there a way to use it without creating pages for each tab?--DarkMastero 07:50, October 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * tabber loads content inplace, no pages. see mainpage of ffxi


 * I am not sure why you object to separate pages for each piece of "tab content" but maybe this tip will help a little.
 * Make the various "tab pages" sub-pages relative to the target page.
 * When you think about it, the "tab content" has to exist somewhere - either all on the target page in separate divs (this is how ffxi does it) or on separate sub-pages. By dividing it up into sub-pages it ought to allow the primary page to load fast. Each piece of optional tab content (a page for each) is only loaded if your browser requests it. --najevi 10:42, October 9, 2009 (UTC)
