Absorb panels tabs module [#353173]

I know this is a whopper of a FR with no patch attached but I wanted to at least put the idea out there. The Tabs panels style is looking for a new maintainer but this module looks more useful generally. I was wondering if you'd consider absorbing that module and offering a panels style as an option in quicktabs? Looking at the source of panels tabs, there doesn't seem to be a lot to it. I'm guessing the hardest part would be adapting your jquery to it? If it's not too complicated and you're willing to do it, you could just dump it in a .inc that's enabled if the user has panels installed.

What do you think?

I personally think that QT module could be a general module for Drupal when someone wants to display any content as tabs, but I also would like to see as minimal code in the module as possible to do not degrade performance.

I already suggested to create a submodule (quicktabs_bonus?) which could have the solution for issues like this. So users do not need to enable the submodule when they do not need the functionality.

As I see the Tabs panel style is a useful module and this request is quite similar to the #343246: Views style plugin to display list of nodes as quicktabs. So I would be happy to see this panel style as part of the Quick Tabs package, but I would like to fix the #236925: Panels 3 as tab content issue first..

I don't know if a submodule is necessary. I would just put the code in a .inc file and conditionally include it when the panels module is installed.

I may be misreading that issue but it sounds slightly different. If I'm understanding that, it's talking about using QT enabled blocks in panels. In my case, I'm talking about replacing the tabs style in panels with QT so it's not necessary to make blocks out of your content. With a tabs style, you just drop two or more items (blocks, views, custom content, whatever) into the same panel and it turns them into tabs.
