Quote from: davidm at Jan 22, 2008, 03:16 AM

but I have another question : can I link from a tab to another ?

This should work:

<a href="#" onclick="tpResources.setSelectedIndex(0); return false;">Test-Link</a>

0 = 1st tab
1 = 2nd tab
etc.

see API section: http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/tabpane/tabpane.html

Then just sort by filenames, but strip out the first two characters for the tab-display.

This is very clever thinking.

Hmmm, I must have bogged the copy paste somewhere along the lines, but being close to php illiterate, I don’t see it tongue

With the latest modified version I have :

<?php
if ($handle = opendir('help')) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
        if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
        $help[] = $file;
       }
    }
    closedir($handle);
}

natcasesort($help);

foreach($help as $k=>$v) {
	$helpname =  substr($v, 0, strrpos($v, '.'));

	$prefix = substr($helpname, 0, 2);
	if(is_numeric($prefix)) {
		$helpname =  substr($helpname, 2, strlen($helpname)-1 );
	}

	$helpname = str_replace('_', ' ', $helpname);
}

?>

???

I think you left off the bit that acutally builds the tabs:

<?php
if ($handle = opendir('help')) {
    while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
        if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
            $help[] = $file;
        }
    }
    closedir($handle);
}


natcasesort($help);

foreach($help as $k=>$v) {

    $helpname =  substr($v, 0, strrpos($v, '.'));

    $prefix = substr($helpname, 0, 2);
    if(is_numeric($prefix)) {
        $helpname =  substr($helpname, 2, strlen($helpname)-1 );
    }

    $helpname = str_replace('_', ' ', $helpname);

    echo '<div class="tab-page" id="tab'.$v.'Help">';
    echo '<h2 class="tab">'.$helpname.'</h2>';
    echo '<script type="text/javascript">tpResources.addTabPage( document.getElementById( "tab'.$v.'Help" ) );</script>';
    include "./help/$v";
    echo '</div>';
}
?>

This is very cool, but I have one issue. It is creating a tab for .DS_store as well as the files in the help directory. This not really an issue on the live server (in my case) but on a Mac server this could be a hassle. The tab shows up with no name since the $helpname gets the title from before the . but the tab shows up with the content to the DS_Store file.

Is there a way to make sure that it only opens php or html files.

Those silly fruit-computers... tongue

Try this:

if ($file != "." && $file != ".." && $file != ".DS_store") {

instead of
if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {

Thanks, that did it. grin

Now I have another problem. when transfering another site to the final server the tabs show up but the content does not load and there is no error message. I figure that it is somehow related to the include statement and have tried the complete server path with no luck.

Any ideas why the content may not load?

include "./help/$v";
