Category Tabs

[Zenrer]

I know this can be done with jQuery, I just need to know how I could only show 1 Category for ever Tab, with the Category name on the Tab, like at the top there is a horizontal list of categories, and it only shows 1 category at a time, and you click another and it only shows that one.

What's the forum system you're using?

 

[Zenrer]

phpBB3, I think all I need to know is showing only the forum category on click, I have the code for the Tabs

 

[JakJak]

The phpBB3 forum would know. 🙂

 

[Zenrer]

Yes, but I think Murder and a few others are competent in php, I would rather trust them than other people 😀

Ill ask there anyway

 

[Zenrer]

I think I know what I need, but cant implement it

When I open a tab, I want to show only a category using its forum ID, such as 3 in this case

Could I maybe use an iFrame for this, just showing the forums from the Category's personal page?

Explain a little more, do you want something where's like a small icon, you click it and it collapses the forums and only showing the categories or what? I read the first post and didn't understand it much.

 

[Zenrer]

There is tabs up the top in a horizontal line. When you click on the tab wth the category name, it switches to that category, tabs are like the ones at http://www.theanimebar.co.cc/jquery/

 

[Nathan]

So you want it so you click the tab and it's content shows up?

 

[Zenrer]

Yes, when the tab is clicked only the category linked to that tab shows up, the rest goes away

Hmm.. May want to ask MhW unless someone else can do this.

 

[Zenrer]

I suggest it would be like when it displays forum on the index, only with an IF statement, with like if url = index.php?f=5 or something, then show forums.

I have a very detailed tutorial on how to integrate a tabbed menu into your phpBB forum which can be viewed here: http://www.phpdissection.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=148

I know jQuery and how to make tabbed menu, it is way easier to what I think I have to do to achieve what I am looking for.

It's actually not at easy as it sounds. You'll need to edit your forumbody.html page and manage to figure a way not to break the <ul>. That's assuming you want to have the tabbed menu to be completely integrated into the ACP > Forum Management.

If you don't mind typing out the tabs individually, then the process is extremely easy. *Explained on my phpDissection forum.

I dont mind if it is manual, that is just as fine as if it is in ACP, also about it being manual input is that referring to the iFrames?
