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.

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)

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?

ChainsawMurderer53 14:50, May 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * 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)


 * Is there anyway to stop displaying this tip when hovering the tab body? This is very annoying, as it's showing the same word of the tab controler. Help! Sapador Castelo (talk) 19:17, May 21, 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's possible to remove it. It's useful there for accessibility purposes (and it might actually be used for getting the tabber to work). You can, however, submit this as feedback using the Special:Contact/feedback form. no replyz 11:40, May 22, 2018 (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)

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)

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.

 * 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)

Invisible Tabbers
Hello!

I'm Zenki7 and I'm an admin at Kishin Douji Zenki Wikia.

Since yesterday, tabbers haven't been showing properly, when used in comments anymore. The code inside the tabber with the written message and images can be seen via the source code editor, but the tabbers and their content are invisible when viewing the posted comments normally.

Can anybody tell me what causes this or if the tabber feature was changed, why this was done?

Thanks in advance.

Zenki7 (talk) 18:00, September 13, 2017 (UTC)


 * Can you post a link to a page that shows this issue?

18:06, September 13, 2017 (UTC)

Of cause! Here's a link to the manga translation blog on our wiki.

You can see the issue, if you scroll down to Semerone's comment "Translation Reading Samples / Übersetzungsleseproben" and my answer to it. These both should feature tabbers showing images and some text.

Zenki7 (talk) 18:11, September 13, 2017 (UTC)

I've noticed a similar problem on some wikis. While text appears on the page, the tabbers and other features continuously load if there's at least more than two tabs in ab infobox.

What is the issue?

I'm still having trouble with the invisible tabs with my laptop, but my tablet has them just fine. It is it a problem with the internet or will it just take longer than anticipated?

Recent issue with tabs
This issue has probably been around since September, but I just noticed that the tabbers no longer fit neatly next to info-boxes.

This page is an example where if the tabbers exceed the width of the text next to the info-box, it is forced to fit underneath, which up until recently didn't do that.

It's rather annoying to be honest, and I'm not sure how to fix it. I'm not sure if it's a bug or what it is. ― C.Syde  ( talk  |  contribs ) 00:50, October 15, 2017 (UTC)

Code in Titles
Is there any way i can add any inline CSS or WikiText in the titles of tabbers? Every time i try, it just shows the raw code. How can i change how the title looks? And also, is it possible to make the title a variable in a template? --|| Grudgeholderr (Pulty) ||-- 01:36, November 19, 2017 (UTC)
 * You can format the tabs only through the CSS sheet (e.g. MediaWiki:Common.css). If you want a style to only to one tabber, you can wrap the tabber in another class, e.g.


 * The latter is not possible, unfortunately. noreplyz  talk 01:44, November 19, 2017 (UTC)
 * You can make a variable title through . For example, if you want to have a tabber with two tabs with values of   and   as titles, you would do


 * which would output

Tab title with 2 or more lines, imagemap inside tabber
Is there a way, to create tab titles with more than only one line?

I've tried the following, but it works only with the first tab and don't look very nice:

Floor 7 (+1)

(not in game)= Floor 7 Floor 6 (Ground Floor)= Floor 6 Floor 5 (-1)= Floor 5 4 (-2)= Floor 4 3 (-3)= Floor 3 2 (-4)= Floor 2 Floor 1 (-5)= Floor 1

(the additional empty line in the first tabs title is only to separate the two filled lines, otherwise they won't be nice to read)

gives:

Floor 7 (+1)

(not in game)= Floor 7 Floor 6 (Ground Floor)= Floor 6 Floor 5 (-1)= Floor 5 4 (-2)= Floor 4 3 (-3)= Floor 3 2 (-4)= Floor 2 Floor 1 (-5)= Floor 1

The moment, I try it with the second or more tabs, things went crazy:

Floor 7 (+1)

(not in game)=Floor 7
 * -|Floor 6

(Ground Floor)=Floor 6 Floor 5 (-1)= Floor 5 4 (-2)= Floor 4 3 (-3)= Floor 3 2 (-4)= Floor 2 Floor 1 (-5)= Floor 1

respectively:

Floor 7 (+1)

(not in game)= Floor 7 Floor 6

(Ground Floor)= Floor 6 Floor 5

(-1)= Floor 5 Floor 4

(-2)= Floor 4 Floor 3

(-3)= Floor 3 Floor 2

(-4)= Floor 2 Floor 1

(-5)= Floor 1

Seems not possible to display with samples ... hope, it's understandable nevertheless.

Any suggestions?

The second part of my question, I won't display here with an example-code, since it does some really weird things with the sourcecode, and I'm not sure if it may break this help-page: according to Help:Tabber#Usage information, I should be able to insert imagemaps in each tab of a tabber. But if I do so, it kinda "outsource" the imagemaps, when editing the page the next time ... tried it several times, so one may fix it by deleting the "outsourced" code each time before saving the page, but it's still weird.

Cheers

 * I should be able to insert imagemaps in each tab of a tabber
 * I find that {{#tag: is my friend

{{#tag:tabber| Floor 7 (+1) = {{#tag:imagemap|

Floor 6 = {{#tag:imagemap|

}}

 * It took a while for me, to figure the correct semantics especially for the options for the implemented images (using {{!}} instead of | was the key), but now it works very fine ... thanks a lot.


 * But still no solution for more than one line in a tabs title?


 * Cheers


 * Paladin Aladin (talk) 09:21, March 27, 2020 (UTC)


 * @TableWiz: your hint with {{#tag:| tempts me, to try such things like

{{#tag:tabber| {{#tag:title|Floor 7 (+1)

(not in game) }} = {{#tag:imagemap|

}} {{!}}-{{!}} ...


 * or alike with "tabtitle" or "tab" or "tabbertitle" or "name" or "tabname" a.s.o., but got always only errormessages for "Unknown extension tag".


 * So is there a tag inside tabber to "create" the tabs titles, where one could play with ?

Tabber Pushes Text all the Way to the Bottom
