adding a new set of tabs in Tabs GK5

I am using the Bluap Template. There is a Tabs GK5 example in the sidebar on the 'modules variations' menu. This works perfectly.

I copied that module and tried to add a new set of tabs to my website. I have 3 sets of tab at the top. The page loads on the 1st tab. When I click on the 2nd or 3rd tab they open with no problem. When I go back and click on the 1st tab it opens but all the content is gone. I cannot get the content to show up until I reload the page.

I have tried everything I can to figure out a solution. Any ideas or troubleshooting thoughts would be very helpful! Thanks!!!

Hi

Please show me Your site.

I just sent you a PM with website and login info. The tabs I am having trouble with is right on the homepage. Thanks!!!

Hi

Sorry, but this access is not working. I'm not getting any message either. Site just reloads to the login page.

Sorry! Forgot to give you any permissions

Should work fine now.

Hi

Please add this to override.css and make sure override is enabled in template settings:

Code: Select all

.gkTabsItem {
    top: 0 !important;
}


Magic. Thanks.

I have one more question. I am using the Bluap theme. I am pretty new to all of this and I just cannot figure out all the little things with the tabs.

There are tons of 'styles' to choose from, but none of them do anything. Is this because the theme overrides the styles?

When I choose to have the tabs on the left or right instead of the top it looks really strange. I get a list of tabs stacked on the left and below the bottom tab the content changes. I just figured the tabs would be stacked and the content would be right next to it changing. What am I doing wrong? I will attach a picture.

I put some tabs on different pages, and I want to still be able to link to specific tabs, but I cannot figure out how to get the link to work. For example for the homepage tabs I just write in http://www.mysite.com/index.php?gktab=2 and the page loads on tab two. If I try to do this on a different page other than the homepage I get an site error (http://www.mysite.com/blabla/index.php?gktab=2). How do I link to specific tabs on pages other than my homepage.

Last. When I try to use a module for content (instead of just the html) nothing shows up. I can only get html to work.

I seem to have a ton of problems figuring out the tabs. Everything else has been pretty smooth sailing though. I love the template and really like Gavick's style. Thanks for your help.

Hi

Tabs module can be using a template build style or it's own, but it cannot recognise if template has style for it becuase joomla loads modules first than the template, so user needs to choose to use a module style file or not and than template style will be used. In Your case I suspect there is no style in template so You just need to select in External files section of module settings to use default CSS file.

Tabs module can only specifie which module position to use, so You need to configure modules to be shown in a selected module position and attache to a page where tabs module is visible in order to show module.
