Tab Display is a resource module used to display course information such as notes, readings, biography etc, in a tab structure per chapter/module within a course.
Websites can also be embedded into the tabs. Using Moodle auto-linking, helps create links to other activities or resources.
New features:
- A general description can be added above the tabs
- PDF embedded functionality. If you put a link with a PDF file on the content of a tab (without any text around), the PDF file will be displayed in an iFrame

I just installed it on Moodle 2.3.3 with no issues. If using linux, check your permissions on the folder. I have tested and is running on all 2.x versions including Moodle 2.4
I'm still getting this error: on Moodle 2.3.3+ (Build: 20121123)
Plugin "block/tab" is defective or outdated, can not continue, sorry.
Debug info: Missing main block class file.
Error code: detectedbrokenplugin

Innocent mistake. Has happened to me before. The tab display is not a block. It's an activity module and therefore must be installed in the mod folder and not the blocks folder.
Installation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Rename the folder to 'tab'
2. Copy the folder tab to moodle/blocks
3. Install the plugin
I corrected the Readme file with "mod".
Thanks for your comment!
Do you mean that when you click on the tab, it opens a word file or other file type.
Refused to display '
This is probably a Youtube restriction.
You have 2 solutions:
- Replace your URL in the embed field to http://www.youtube.com/embed/xxxxxxxxxxxxx
- Use the Moodle Media filter to automatically replace the URL by the player. Just put your link in a link tag, Moodle will do the rest

This is used extensively across our installation and is a superb plugin. Any plans/eta for a 2.6 version?
Thanks,
Nick
