The version(s) I use:

  • Tabs Panel Style: 6.x-1.0-rc3
  • Panels: 6.x-3.7
  • Tabs: 6.x-1.3
  • Chaos tools: 6.x-1.7

As I am building a new site for my wife she wanted this feature for her movie / game review pages so that 3 people can review the movie/game and have them tabbed as this project does so well. As I was setting all of this up i kept running into issues, i did't find in the issue queue so I thought it would be a good idea to post them.

  1. As I was using jquery.ui 1.7 this was down-graded to 1.6 as I saw another issue referencing it. (not sure on the issue here)
  3. I had the javascript cached and this was an issue, because as soon as it was not cached anymore, its started working a bit better.
  4. By setting the title for your pane as "Above" no tab title is rendered. So I had to keep it as "block" or override the title myself, which is fine but caused an issue none-the-less.

I hope this helps, if you need more info just let me know, ill gladly test / mangle it more lol.

Thanks,
Draven

Ok, after testing number 1 (if jquery.ui version 1.7 matters) it seems this part was not the issue.

After a bit more research this needs jquery.ui 1.6, now this can be an issue with some users because http://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg_imageupload must use jquery.ui version 1.7.

Another way to do this is to use the dev version of tabs and jquery.ui 1.7. Personally I dont like using dev versions of modules but that is an options. But in the end this is a tabs issue not a panels tabs issue.

There are some issues with picking the right jquery ui version, that needs to be addressed in the documentation. There is a task active for it here #874516: Add better documentation for chosing optimum version of jquery_update which I hope to be able to spend some time on shortly.

Are you still experiencing other issues with panels tabs apart from these jquery ui related issues?

Issue 1) Yeah, issues 1 is jquery.ui issue which is solved but is a combo issue with panels tabs, tabs, and wysiwyg_image_upload issue. I thought it still needed to be said for a few reasons. Just in-case someone else ran into this issue and what not.

Issue 3) this is a cache issue

Issue 4) is a bug i beleive it seems not to grab any other title but "override" or "block" configuration.

In the end issue 1 is just a bit of confusion unless other modules require a different version, issue 3 and 4 are actually bugs to be looked into. I do have all this up and running and working perfectly so let me know if you more info is needed.

Thanks,
Draven

This might be easier to address in separate issues, but i'll have a try.

3) How are you enabling the javascript caching ? on an apache level? or do you mean the aggregation? What kind of issues are you experiencing with this turned on?

4) I wasn't sure where you were talking about here, but now I see this setting for CCK fields and CCK field groups. This isn't really a bug, as that setting changes the behaviour of the pane and basically hides the pane title from us. I'm not sure if there is a sensible way around it.

We can move these to seprate issues if you would like, I more posted it as my exp, bug issues and such. Kinda a all in one thing.

3) For the JavaScript issue this was done through the performance page within Drupal, right below the compress CSS option. This was still an issue after clearing the cache through the same page.

4) For the title issue, i changed this not through cck but through panels, right in the setting of the pane content type. (I want to add I use panels everywhere also to run my theme for my site.) Maybe remove this option if panels tabs is used as a style?

#4 seems to be fixed with the last update, i can now use the "override title" option in panels, Great Work!!
