I had a stink of a time doing this with Views, but I got it. Now I want to do it with Panels.

This post asks: (a) Is it possible? (b) How do I achieve it?

I have four panel pages, 2-colum stacked, with the following titles and URLs: Dinner Menu (/menu/dinner), Lunch Menu (/menu/lunch), Brunch Menu (/menu/brunch), and Happy Hour Menu (/menu/happyhour)

Rather than creating a sidebar navigation menu for navigating these panel pages, I would like to use the "Provide menu as tab" option, so that each panel page has these tabs at the top:

_| Dinner Menu |_| Lunch Menu |_| Brunch Menu |_| Happy Hour |_

With the default tab being the Dinner Menu

Anybody know the steps needed to achieve this if it is even possible?

Thanks!

Steps:

1) Create Panel Page

2) Create View

3 Create 2nd, 3rd, 4th panel page




STEP 1

In panels, Add custom page

BASIC
Title: ABC Home
path: abc (www.yoursite.com/abc)

MENU
type: No menu entry

CONTENT
title: ABC Home
add simple content if you'd like

UPDATE AND SAVE




STEP 2

Create a View

view name: abc_menu_tab (or whatever you prefer)

view description: default menu tab for ABC panel page

view tag: Menu Tab (ABC panel page)

view type: Node

SAVE

Style: Unformatted
Row style: Fields

note: The filters and fields you select are not very important. To keep things simple, open up a new window and quickly create a simple page node. Add a page description: "Welcome to ABC". Title this page: Welcome to ABC

Filter: Node: Title = Welcome to ABC
Field: Content: Page Description

SAVE

In this same View, add Page display

Name: ABC Home - No Menu
Path: abc/no_menu
No Menu

Add another page display

Name: ABC Home - Default Menu
Path: abc/home
Menu: menu default tab
Title: ABC Home

click Update

Parent Menu Item: Already exists

SAVE




STEP 3

Go back to Panels

Add Custom Page

BASIC
title: XYZ
machine: xyz
path: path: abc/xyz (www.yoursite.com/abc/xyz)

MENU
Type: Menu tab
Title: XYZ

CONTENT
Title: XYZ
add whatever content

UPDATE AND SAVE

You should now have two working tabs when you go to: yoursite.com/abc or yoursite.com/abc/xyz

You are now working solely inside Panels. So just add content like you would any other panel.

In order to move tabs around, download TAB TAMER module: http://drupal.org/project/tabtamer
