Views / Tabs / Panels and Dynamic Loading

have i asked for too many secrets? or is it just really hard to explain?

there must be a secret to it...I'll keep working on it! And report back!

Hello everyone, thanks for any help you can provide.

I was just reading this thread, http://drupal.org/node/98134#comment-187227, and Thom posted some code there, custom, where he inserted his views code along with layout information and a few other things into a single $output1 variable, then put that inside the tabs output. Can someone help me understand how to do this?

I'm at the same place in my work right now. I've got the Views configured and the tabs code here. Both work separately, but not together yet. Can someone please give me a hint?

Here's the code that Tom posted:

<div class=tabs150 style="margin-top:10px; ">
<?php
$output1 = '<div class=inner>';
$output1 .= _get_news();
$output1 .= '</div>';
$tab .= theme('tabs_tab_page', t('<B>News</B>'), $output1);
$output1 = '<div class=inner>';
$output1 .= _get_chatter();
$output1 .= '</div>';
$tab .= theme('tabs_tab_page', t('<B>Chatter</B>'), $output1);
$output = theme('tabs_tabset', 'home', $tab, 'grey_red_90');
echo $output;
?>
</div>

He created this custom function _get_chatter that obviously contains his view_get_view code. How does that happen?

Here's the views that I'd like to put into my own new function, something like _get_blogteasers()

 <?php
$view_name = 'teaserblog1'; //name of my first view which goes in the blog tab
$limit = 3; // number of returns
$view_args = array();
print views_build_view('embed', views_get_view($view_name), $view_args, FALSE, $limit);
?>

and my second view:

 <?php
$view_name = 'teaserstory1'; //name of my second view which goes in tab 2
$limit = 3; // number of returns
$view_args = array();
print views_build_view('embed', views_get_view($view_name), $view_args, FALSE, $limit);
?>

wants to be placed inside the tabs code:

<?php
  $tabs .= theme('tabs_tab_page', t('Blogs'), t('This is the place where I want the first view'));
  $tabs .= theme('tabs_tab_page', t('Stories'), t('This is the place where I want the second view'));
  $output = theme('tabs_tabset', 'example', $tabs);
  print $output;
?>

I notice in what you have above, Thom, that you are compressing the views code into a single variable, $output1. Can you show me how to do something similar?
