Help talk:Tabber

request for tabber
I wrote some days ago, cause I thought Tabber would enchance the look of the site, I represent. Pleeeze, pleeze, I'm very desperate. We have exhausted all our other opportunities and the lack of readers has begun to be very significant.

We request the extension because, we have a lot of pages with only one headline, but lot of stuff which needs to be ordered.

Where is tabber.css? I entered that term in the search box and came up with nothing. Tal anq uel    ☞    18:30, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

I can't find it either. Geniusguy445 (talk)  01:13, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

Default Tab
Forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask this question, but is there a way to specify that the default tab be something other than the first tab? For example, is there a way we could keep the current tab order seen on this test article and have the "Turaga Metru" tab be the default? -- Åusår   (Talk) 20:20, February 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * As far as I can find, no, the first tab is the "default". TabView does have this ability, but has some different problems/features then Tabber. If you do find a solution, please let us know. --Uberfuzzy 20:32, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

Error
Not sure if this is the right place to put it, but  doesn't seem to work (it shows up blog comments)

Anybody else have this problem?

The Look
I recently applied the tabber function to character infoboxes on my wiki, so we can have the characters in multiple costumes and states. However the tabber function's sort of dark grey/purple text colour scheme clashes horribly with the infobox theme. Is there a way I can customise the look for it? I noticed the MSPA Wiki has a simple grey thing going on with the tabber. Was that because they changed it while the theme was still monobook?

 * This is a really late response, but to change the look of tabber you have to edit the Wikia.css page, which only an admin can do. This is what the MSPA wiki's css looks like. --Pigbuster 21:31, August 14, 2011 (UTC)

Templates and Tabbers
On Templates, how do you make it so that you could name the tab on specific articles. I've tried the (three brackets on each side) but when I type tab1=Warped, nothing happened. the text stayed as. I also want to make the tabber fit the infobox. SeanWheeler 21:53, September 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * The problem is on Enemy Wiki on the infobox template. I used it in Cortex's page but the Warped and CTR infoboxes arn't in the tabber. Could someone help me? SeanWheeler 22:08, September 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Problem solved for now, just so people who read this. I pretty much solved the problem. I don't need any help.

What is the use of alt tag?
I noticed that the html code has an alt tag in link element like next:  TAB NAME I really don't know why there's a title place. If I don't make mistakes, the alt tag is preferably used for displaying tooltip with a text diffrent from the link name. But with  I don't have any alt parameter to fill. (if yes I'm sorry, but Help:Tabber tells me anything about it) This 'alt tag' does just show us the exactly same text as the link name. Wouldn't it be better to remove it? -- Cafeinlove, 00:34, April 27, 2012 (UTC)

Google Chrome Issues!
I'm having intermittent issues with tabber when I'm using Chrome. Sometimes it won't load at all other times it won't put the content into tabs an other times it will load perfectly fine. Is anyone having the same issue? Dak47922 Talk  18:55, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

Can't make a template parameters?
I can't seem to use the as the tab titles on templates, so when I use the template I can change the tab title?

Adding styles
Adding css information gives me this, is there any way to do it? ""

Force tabs into different rows
I've been implementing tabs in infoboxes on the Metal Gear wiki and have encountered an issue with spacing. On some pages the tabs don't properly fit into one row and either one or two will be forced onto a second row, or one may be split between the rows. I'm looking for a way to dictate which tabs sit on which row so I can have two rows of tabs with an equal number on each row. Thanks--Soul reaper (talk) 03:56, December 31, 2013 (UTC)

It appears that I have also encountered the same problem. Blueeighthnote (talk) 00:18, May 23, 2014 (UTC)

Coding trouble
I'm having trouble with this as when I enter the code for the tabber, 'File:' and '|275px' always appears. I've looked around for help but I can't do it by myself. Here is the page.

HELP!!
I need to know how to add tabs!! The code thingy doesn't work!!!

http://the-animal-chronicles.wikia.com/wiki/Russ

How can I add tabs onto that page? I need two tabs- Canon and Non-Canon. All the stuff on the page is Canon. Same goes for literally ever character page on the wiki.

How do I do this...?

~.:Aquabreeze:.~ 03:48, May 4, 2017 (UTC)


 * Please reread the article, as it explains how to add Tabbers. Make sure you switch to source mode editing when you do, as it is the only way to add Tabbers currently. If you’re still having issues, I’d be happy to assist.


 * Okay, I figured it out, but now I can't edit it afterwards. There's these blue/green stripes that cover everything and I can't change what I edited. Is that normal? And how do I fix it? Same page: http://the-animal-chronicles.wikia.com/wiki/Russ
 * ~.:Aquabreeze:.~ 04:02, May 4, 2017 (UTC)


 * I see no Tabbers on the page you describe, nor are there any  Tags in the source code of the page. Are you sure that what you added was a Tabber? In fact, it looks like you removed a Tabber in your latest edit. Are you editing from source mode, or did you attempt to use the Visual Editor? Because in the Visual Editor you often can’t edit code elements directly; they are instead surrounded by the stripes as you describe, meaning that they can’t be edited. You have to go into source in order to change them.


 * http://the-animal-chronicles.wikia.com/wiki/Russ <-- Here's the page after I edited it in source mode. Why is it like that???
 * ~.:Aquabreeze:.~ 04:18, May 4, 2017 (UTC)


 * It’s because you added spaces in front of every line, as you can see here. The page interprets that as a  Tag, so it turns all of the code into plain text instead of having it work normally. You’ll have to remove the spaces.

Tabber Issue: Overlapping
Is there anyway to fix this issue with the tabbers? Its overlapping and looks awful. Thanks RustInDirt (talk) 17:26, July 8, 2017 (UTC)RustInDirt




 * If you wanted to try CSS to fix it, you could use:


 * It’ll make it even out, but if too many tabs are placed then it will continue to widen the infobox. TabberFableInfobox.png


 * Alternatively, you could use…


 * …to have any further tabs scroll horizontally instead of widening the infobox. Like the third image. TabberFableInfobox2.png
 * Here is what I put to together: Tabber on my Test Wiki.
 * This is the code that I used to do this:


 * I basically just adjusted the line height of the tabs and removed the padding of the tabber navigation to remove the space between the navigation and the tab boxes.

Help Adding tabs to a Table
Hello, I was wondering if there was a better way to add tabs to a table. I am using tabber and putting the table inside of it, but it looks really weird with an awkward looking border around it. I was wanting to add the tabs directly to the table if possible, or at least get rid of the extra space around the actual table. This is what is currently looks like   Black Dragon  02:02, July 18, 2017 (UTC)
 * I think I know what you want, and I have some code that can make it better. This is designed to work as long as the tabber is inside of a table. Since that the tabber is originally wrapped in a table, I decided to work with that to choose only the tabbers inside of a table.
 * Tabber_with_table.png
 * So this is what I have so far (see pic to the right), and below is the code to add in MediaWiki:Wikia.css to make it look like that.

td > .tabberlive > .tabbertab { padding: 0 !important; border: none !important; } td > .tabberlive > .tabbertab > table { margin-top: -7px; }
 * I removed the border on the tabber and made the tables inside of it be close to the tabs. Note for next time, it would probably be better to ask a question like this on the Forum.  Christian Sirolli ( Talk 15:15, July 18, 2017 (UTC)


 * Thank you!!! That is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much so the help. Also, I'll make note of the Forum next time I need something :D Black  Dragon  18:02, July 18, 2017 (UTC)

Tabbers in Tabbers
Every time i put a tabber in a tab, the souurce code always gets messed up when i save. I found a way around this, making the inner tabbers templates, but that gets complicated. Is there an easier way i can directly insert a tabber into another tabber? —The Great Pulty; posted at 05:37, August 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * Hey, it's a bit messy, but you can take a look at Forum:Please help - Tabber within a Tabber. Alternatively, you can try use Help:Tab view and place tabbers in each page. noreplyz  talk 06:33, August 16, 2017 (UTC)
