the directions in the screen and you'll be ready to go.



Requirements
====================

Works in xoops 2.3.0, xoops 2.0.16

Does not work in xoops 2.2.x due to diferent configuration of database, sorry.

If you have problems using xoops 2.3 alpha then add a folder named 'smarty_cache' with write permissions in
your_root/xoopsdata/caches/xoops_cache


Tested with php5 and php4.



Bugs
====================

Be carefull when selecting time based tabs/blocks. Dislpayed hour is not always correct. Have that in mind when selecting time.



Limitations
====================

You can´t use more than one block with scrolling tabs (delay>0) per page.



Upgrading from older versions
====================

No upgrade, please:
Unistall mytabs.
Remove all files.
Clean templates_c folder
Upload new files.
Install mytabs.



Tips
====================

You can create your own .css for tabs. Just upload it to css folder an it will be available for selection in

your blocks!

------

To avoid tabs from scrolling set delay to 0 inside your block.

------

Clone My Tabs Block using 'blocks and permissions' in mytabs administation page. If you use iCms or xoops

2.3.0 alpha you can also clone it from System Admin > Blocks Admin.

------

You can create html custom blocks and make them interact with each tab.
Ex of a custom block:



And then set 'Reveal ID' inside the tabs edit form
for tab1 : my div
for tab2 : mydiv2

You can expand/contract more than one div, just separate the divs ids with a comma

for tab 3 : my div, mydiv2

------

You can also add a link to a tab.
Just set 'Links to' with the complete URL
Ex: http://www.anothersite.com/register.php

------

You can use Mytabs as a menu!
Set your block height to 0 and create tabs without blocks.
Using the 'Link To' option you can easily make your menu.
You do not need to enter all the complete link
ex:

index.php
modules/news
viewpmsg.php

You can use {user_id} in your link. It will retrieve the Id of the user seing the page
ex:

userinfo?uid={user_id}

You can also customize the name of the link for display private messages info

In the tab title just add
{pm_new}
{pm_readed}
{pm_total}

ex:

title = Inbox {pm_new}
Link to = viewpmsg.php
