I can't get this to work with tables

Hi.

This extension looks very promising!

I'm trying to use this with tables. I have:

<tabs style="font-weight:bold;" class="foo" id="bar">
<tab name="Our Details">
{|
![[Organisation::{{{Name|}}}]] 
|-
! width="18%"|Address
| [[Address::{{{Address|}}}]] 
|-
! Town
| [[Location::{{{Town|}}}]] 
|}
</tab>
<tab name="Projects">
{| id="wikitable"
! width="18%"|Project Name
| [[Project::{{{Project|}}}]] 
|}
</tab>
</tabs>

The tabs show up fine, but the table is displayed completely empty. Obviously, if I knock out the tabs stuff it displays the field contents fine.

I also tried:

<tabs>
{{#tag:tab|{{#!:
{| id="wikitable"
![[Organisation::{{{Name|}}}]] 
|-
! width="18%"|Address
| [[Address::{{{Address|}}}]] 
|-
! Town
| [[Location::{{{Town|}}}]] 
|}}}|name="Our Details}}
{{#tag:tab|{{#!:
{| id="wikitable"
! width="18%"|Project Name
| [[Project::{{{Project|}}}]] 
|}}}|name=Projects}}
</tabs>

It still didn't work. I suspect it is not parsing the triple brackets.

Any pointers on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks! Mitchelln (talk) 13:07, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

When I try this code, it works just as it would when not inside a tabs menu. What I am assuming you're expecting is that it will have wikitable layout. This doesn't happen, because for the first table, you don't define any attributes for the table, and for the second table, you define id="wikitable" while it should be class="wikitable"

The code that does show the wikitables in the correct format would be:

<tabs>
<tab name="Our Details">
{| class="wikitable"
!
![[Organisation:{{{Name|}}}]]
|-
! width="18%"|Address
| [[Address:{{{Address|}}}]] 
|-
! Town
| [[Location:{{{Town|}}}]] 
|}
</tab>
<tab name="Projects">
{| class="wikitable"
! width="18%"|Project Name
| [[Project:{{{Project|}}}]] 
|}
</tab>
</tabs>

Here I've also removed the unnecessary attributes on the <tabs> tag, and changed your links to only have a single : after the namespace (changed [[Project::{{{Project|}}}]] to [[Project:{{{Project|}}}]]).

I hope this extension works fine for you other than this. It's great hearing you're happy with it! Joeytje50 (talk) 19:31, 5 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi.

Thanks for getting back to me. The double colons are not namespace definitions, they are Semantic MediaWiki markup and cannot be removed.

I guess this is what the tab code does not cope with.

Setting "Active" Tab

Using this plugin, is it possible to edit which tab is active when the page loads?

Example:

<tabs>

<tab name="Hi">Hello there!</tab>

<tab name="Bye" active>Goodbye!</tab>

</tabs>

By adding the active attribute, the second tab will be shown when the page loads, and not just the first tab in the the tab menu.

Is a feature like this possible? I understand you can directly link to a tab, but I want to just have the desired tab load on my page versus using a link to do so. HawkHunter3 (talk) 18:06, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

I'm very sorry for not getting back to you at all (I didn't get any email notifications about this). This is currently not possible, but it does sound like a good idea to implement. I'll try to get this implemented some time in the future, but this might take a while since I'm in my exam period right now (nice timing on getting back to you now eh?). I'll put this on my to-do list though. Thanks for the suggestion. Joeytje50 (talk) 21:19, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

Any updates on this? It would be nice to preset active tabs, for example inside things like navboxes. 109.174.114.72 (talk) 18:41, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Output Error

I have this extension working without issue on MW 1.25.3 however on 1.26.0 I've receiving the below error:

I'm have the same issue and received a message back

Since mediawiki 1.26 I required position to be set and will default to bottom but come up with an error.

I have no Idea on how to fix it.

bootstrap extension had the same issue and I found this

OK I figured it out

I updated Tabs.php file with 'position' => 'top',

<code>

$wgResourceModules['ext.tabs'] = array(

        'position' => 'top',

        'scripts' => 'ext.tabs.js',

        'styles' => 'ext.tabs.css',

collapsed attribute in template can't work

Hi@Joeytje50,

I create the mediawiki template "novel" as below:

{{#tag:tab |{{{content|{{{1|'''Warning! there is no content.'''}}}}}} |{{#if:{{{collapsed|}}}|{{{collapsed}}}}} |class=novel |openname="{{#if:{{{openname|}}}|{{{openname}}}}}（Click to show)" |closename="{{#if:{{{closename|}}}|{{{closename}}}}}（Click to hide)" |style="background:white; width:100%" }}

But when I use the template:

{{template:novel |content=This is a test ! |collapsed=collapsed }}

the toggle box can't appear collapsed ! Do you know why? I am looking forward to your repaly! 59.172.176.183 (talk) 10:02, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

Generating tabs with Lua Module

A new tab

A new tab

Hello, can I add a new namespace to the pages, like talk namespace, and to call it 'draft'. But I want it to be in a new tab like the tab 'discussion', near the page. Actually, maybe I don't need a new namespace, just a new tab, but not like here or here, because it made the tab inside the page, I want it in the head of the page, near the discussion tab. someone? Betmidrash (talk) 14:04, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

I'm sorry but that is not possible with my extension either. Those tabs are generated automatically by the page, so they are not part of the content. While it may be technically possible to make an extension that would do this, I think this is too specific to add to any existing extension. I think the best extension for you (if you want the whole page to be a tabbed interface) would still be Header Tabs.

Alternatively you could use javascript to make your own extra 'tab' at the top of the page, but I think that is unnecessary extra work if HeaderTabs basically does what you want to do. Joeytje50 (talk) 10:09, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

O.k. Thank you very much. Betmidrash (talk) 06:02, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

PDF rendering problem

When attempting to render a PDF using mwlib rendering server, the rendered PDF shows the source code instead of the published page. This is likely a mwlib problem but was wondering if anyone has a fix/workaround. Jamal22066 (talk) 18:18, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

I'm sorry but I don't really understand what the problem is. Which extension or script is not working? Joeytje50 (talk) 08:42, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

The issue was that mwlib can only convert the Wiki markdown language. I was using the 'tabber' extension which is used to create tabs on a page. mwlib can not render a page properly that is using this extension because it is not wiki markdown language. Jamal22066 (talk) 17:53, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Boxes don't work properly

Hello I installed the tabs extension last night and I've realized that the following contents are not working properly for some reason. I've tried all of the methods below and they don't seem to resolve what I am looking for. Here are the examples:

This image above shows the proper one in another site, and tabs above work and adjust the page as I click different tabs. This is how it is supposed to work.

Apologies for the late reply. As it seems, on that linked page, the tabs extension to which you are commenting here, does seem to work fine. This extension does not include the Tabber extension, which is its own extension. If you want to use that, you can install it separately, but the tabs do function just fine the way you show on that linked page. Joeytje50 (talk) 22:03, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

bottom tabs

Hello

Good time

This Extension is very useful. Thank you

How can I show the tabs below?

Issue: not loading the values for template parameters

When I create a template with parameters shown in tabs

<tabs><tab>{{{1}}} {{{foo}}} {{{bar|}}</tab></tabs>{{{1}}}{{{bar}}}

the parameters are not loaded when I include the template (eg {{{tabs|one|foo|bar}}}) The parameters outside the <tabs> tag are loaded properly.

Has anyone else experienced this? The (read-restricted) wiki is running Tabs version 1.3.2 on MediaWiki 1.27.8. DWizzy (talk) 21:59, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi there, there is one problem with your line of code I noticed, namely that your {{{bar|}} is missing a closing bracket. Please first try changing that to see if that fixes it. Otherwise, could you try using the parser-function syntax for the tabs? So, for your line of code, that would be:

{{#tag:tabs|
  {{#tab:| {{{1}}} {{{foo}}} {{{bar|}}} }}
}} {{{1}}}{{{bar}}}

Due to differences in the parsing of different types of functions, some functionality that is supported in the parser-function syntax is not supported in the tag syntax.

Hopefully this helps you! Joeytje50 (talk) 14:39, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

I somehow missed your reply, thank you! :)

Silly of me to give an incorrect example. The extra closing bracket didn't resolve it, nor did using the parser-function.

In the end I resorted to using the Extension:Variables parser function {{#var:foo}} after defining mapping all the template parameters to variables. DWizzy (talk) 17:28, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

===For anyone else experiencing this issue:===

I have also encountered this issue recently, and found a solution for it through modifying the extension. Here's a link to the commit which shows the implemented fix: github.com/forgecommunitywiki/mediawiki-extensions-Tabs/commit/20440ea2b2a6a7af438059c57135c2194a166b6b (I seem to be barred from adding a real hyperlink by the abuse filter, oh well).

To summarize it and to preserve the fix in case the link becomes dead, you have to modify the extension's code (includes/Tabs.php) so that the tab extension functions (for both <tab> and <tabs>) take in the extra $frame parameter and pass it into $parser->recursiveTagParse. This gives the parser access to the frame object, which allows it to do variable/parameter substitution.

I might push this change to the upstream repo in the future, but do not plan to do so for now because of my lack of experience in contributing to Wikimedia repos and lack of time to try do so. If anyone wishes to make the change upstream themselves, please feel free to do so (though I'd like to be given a bit of credit if possible). SciWhiz12 (talk) 19:59, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Background Color on Label

I've looked all over and honestly it isn't very clear when reading about styling under the Usage. How does one change the background color on the label itself. Is that a CSS thing or something I can enter per tab? When I do the background color style it changes the color on the tab and not the label, and color just changes the text color of course. 24.111.201.85 (talk) 06:28, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

Parser function #tag:tag is not working

Hello! I attempted to use the example in the Usage page, which is the following code:

{{#tag:tabs|

{{#tag:tab|Foo|name={{{1|}}}}}

{{#tab:{{{2|}}}|Bar}}

|style=color:{{#if:{{{1|}}}|green|red}} }}

It keeps rendering single tabs inside the Tabs box rather than adding tabs. It's making it difficult to implement certain templates that I have planned. Is anyone else encountering this? I know there was a thread earlier describing the same problem, and it seems like it still hasn't been fixed. Kiwibasket (talk) 00:49, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

to

public function renderTab( $input, $parser, $frame, $attr = [] ) {

you would basically do the same thing for lines 142 and 225. Kanto501 (talk) 14:39, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
