Is it possible to alter a tpl or other file somewhere and change each node's primary and secondary tabs into a Superfish menu?

If that's not clear, what I'm asking is how to basically hide the View, Edit, etc. tabs across the top of the content area within some hover-over menu or pop-up. If Superfish could be used it would cut down on additional scripts to use it for tabs as well.

Anybody have any ideas. I saw one module that puts them into a contextual menu like panes/blocks but I'd prefer the functionality in Superfish. Thanks for your time if you have any.

HI,

It's possible but not with this module, there are some other modules however

Those using Open Atrium Radix theme, Contextual Tabs might be a good solution, but it doesn't seem to work with other themes, but does offer nice features such as breaking-out separate menu items and giving them an icon (though I didn't investigate how that worked and there is limited documentation). This would be the best solution if block-placeable, but only if someone puts in some time to make it Drupal-friendly:

Local Tasks Blocks is what I've ended up with (this second go-around) but I'm finding it has a great accordion feature that hides the menu until clicked, but only seems to work on admin pages and not on node types, maybe they'll fix it in the meantime.

Better Jump Menu is ok, but not overly fancy and I didn't like the requirement of a form button to submit after making a select list selection.

Others might like Javascript Tabs if you're not worried about mobile compatibility but I did find it spazzes-out every once in a while and either won't open or opens/closes/opens/closes/etc. franticly due to some conflict with colorbox or superfish or something.

Would be easier for Superfish to provide a block for local tasks (primary tabs/secondary tabs/local actions).

I'm still coming around now to still wanting superfish for the tabs. Argh.

The same for me.

I just want an easy way to put together primary and secondary tabs in a dropdown menu.
Drupal will output them separately and not one inside the other, which is really counterintuitive.

Node (primary tabs): <ul> View | Edit | My custom tab </ul>
My tab (secondary tabs): <ul> child1 | child2 | child3 </ul>

All I want is:
Node (with tabs): <ul> View | Edit | My tab <ul> child1 | child2 | child3 </ul> </ul>
with some bootstrap dropdown JS..

I think this feature would be useful to a lot of people
