I'm knocking at the right door here but i'll go anyhow.
So, websites usually have this tabbed menu where one can 'cycle' through the options. An example http://marketplace.nwsource.com/nwc/autos/ and then in the middle of the page there is this block with what's new, safest cars and reviews and ratings options (this really is a random example :)

All I'm interested is in having this block where I could have these tabs - for example I want to have 'most read' and 'recent comments' tabs and be able to 'cycle' through them. I would use views to pull that information...

Can I do this with tabs panel style?

I hope I made sense.
Thanks a bunch!

Right door … but please open it and see what's already there next time (i.e.: search the issue queue). This has already been requested over here: http://drupal.org/node/204066.

Thanks for the quick answer! - next time I will make sure I look at the requested features.
Would you, maybe off the top of your head, know of an additional way to achieve this functionality?
My searching got me to this http://zqlab.com/node/5.
I will try to see where it gets me.

Because I read the word "cycle", I was reminded of the other issue. But it seems to me you're not looking for actual "automatic cycling" functionality: you're looking for all tabs to be loaded at once (no server callback required)? Like the Tabbed Mini Panel over here: http://wimleers.com/demo/mini-panels? In this case, this module already does what you want/need.

great! - I actually thought we misunderstood each other when I saw that on your website you have "Recent..." with tabs "Content" and "Comment" exactly the way I wanted them.

two more quick questions:
1. Is there any way to specify the 'length' of a block when the content in the two tabs isn't the same 'length'? For example, in your case the tagadelic block needs to shift down (or up) depending on what tab is selected. Can I somehow achieve that the lower block is always fixed. I presume I would need to be careful how many titles I display in the tabs...

2. How cpu intensive do you think doing tabs this way is? Actually, my question probably doesn't make too much sense b/c it's all relative but maybe you could have some insight into this...

thanks again!

1. This is a Tabs module setting I believe. Check admin/settings/tabs.

2. Should be completely negligible… if it isn't, something is wrong with either your hardware or your software (not sure if it'll work well in Windows 98 + IE 5.5… :P)
