AJAX Tabs Content Script - Version 3.0 (YUI)

[Frogger]

With some help from a friend I have been able to add the forum names to the tabrecentthreadsexp.php
(The file attached got Forum names and thread marking).
My only problem now is that I am using fancy URL's from vbseo so the links from the forum names gives me a 404 error.

The script gives forumnames like this:

www.my_site.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=18

For me the url should look like this:

www.my_site.com/forum/ogler/

The file works perfectly if you are using a forum without VBseo/Fancy URLs

[Frogger]

I just found the error with the URL's
my forum are installed in /forum/ folder not /forums/ as in the file.. when i changed that everything works perfectly

So if you got any problem with the url change forums to forum or visa versa in this line (marked red):

 <a href= "/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=' . $thread[forumid] . '">' . $thread[forumtitle] . '</a></td>';

In the 2.0 release there were one version with the forum titles, but with no forum marking, and one version with the forum marking but without the forum titles.
I got a big wish to have both features in one release

yes, I still pull the required info, just didn't echo it out for that specific example..

this is a TD that will do that for you..

echo '<td align="center" class="alt2 smallfont" width="20%"><a href="/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=' . $thread[forumid] . '">' . $thread[forumtitle] . '</a></td>';

So Bob, this looks great. Why should I convert from AJAX Tabs. That has worked so well for me and I don't know if I should mess with an update if there is little need.

Bob can (and hopefully will) correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the *big* change is the JavaScript library has been changed to the YUI library instead of the one from DynamicDrive.

why? YUI is a much better JS Library and is the JS Library of choice for vB. One of the components of the YUI Library is the TabView.js which is a much more robust tabbing system then the Dynamic Drive tabbing system. Speed alone is a great improvement and I've only just touched on the basics, so there is a TON more coming down the road..

You don't need to convert, but its a simple conversion.

Correct

hmm My tabs fails in Internet Explorer.. Nothing shows up
http://www.reptilfreaks.no
Anyone got any suggestions hoe I can make it work for IE users?

[bobster65]

looks like you made some modifications to the CSS (the rounded corners for example are gone).. what exact changes did you make? That could effect the output by IE..

also, just to try it (dunno if vbseo effects it or not with YUI)..

in the data source elements of each tab.. ie dataSrc: 'tab-reptilfreaks.php' try the full URL to the file to see if that fixes the IE issue....

dataSrc: 'http://www.reptilfreaks.no/forum/tab-reptilfreaks.php'

Yes I tried something out that did'nt work, probably when you checked my site. Only difference in the CSS compared to the original are the colours.

It did´t work unfortionately..
I have also tried to changing my modified tab file with the one in the package - tabrecentthreadsexp2.php without any luck..

I hate IE! I have it running on multiple sites and they all work fine with IE... my next "guess" would be that something on your page is conflicting with it, but its not producing any errors.... the source looks fine and its printing the tabs, just not the content.. can you try a simple HTML content file and see if it pulls up?

Bob-o.

I am this close to upgrading, but it would take me doing two sets of tabs. Two questions. First, can I use the same css as the Ajax Tabs mod?

Second, I am working on some integration of a Digg clone into vbadvanced and wondered if the YUI tabs would load the iframes faster.

Check the page here.

No, you can not use the OLD CSS... its not even CLOSE to being the same. The NEW CSS is easy to update tho.

YUI is faster loading and doesn't require IFRAMEing (since I am using DISPATCHER, it can handle external JS)

This works great, however I am curious if there is a way to make it slideshow between the tabs like in 2.0. Sorry if I am missing some obvious, but I didn't see where that would go in 3.0.

Unfortunately, default YUI TabView doesn't have the slideshow capabilities (YET).. Im told that it will be supported in YUI version 3.0 .. there IS however a way to do it, but its not supported by YUI, so I have not released it public.
