Installation

Install the plugin like any other plugin to folder /filter/tabs

See http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_plugins for details on installing Moodle plugins

Usage

First, activate the filter_tabs plugin in Site Administration -> Plugins -> Filters -> Manage filters

To create tabs in textfields, use the following syntax: {%:Tab title}Tab text{%}

Example

The following placeholders in a textfield:

{%:First tab}Some text{%} {%:Second tab}Another text{%}

will produce this tab group:

+-----------+------------+ | First tab | Second tab | +------------------------+-------------------------+ | Some text | | | +--------------------------------------------------+

Settings

When you install filter_tabs with its default settings, it will replace the tab syntax with tabs provided by the YUI JavaScript library which has been used in Moodle for a long time.

From the Moodle 2.7 version of this plugin on, you can also let the filter replace the tab syntax with tabs provided by the Bootstrap framework which is present in Moodle since Moodle 2.5. Bootstrap tabs conform to modern Bootstrap based themes much better than YUI tabs.

To make use of this advanced feature, please visit Plugins -> Filters -> Tabs. There you can enable Bootstrap tabs.

WARNING: As the Bootstrap framework is based on jQuery, but was transformed to YUI for the use in Moodle by Moodle core developers, there is no native support for tabs in Moodle's Bootstrap implementation. To make use of Bootstrap tabs, this filter additionally loads jQuery and the original Bootstrap jQuery plugin. This may lead to some unexpected slowdown of the pages rendered by Moodle. Please use this feature only if you understand what happens under the hood.

Themes

filter_tabs should work with all themes from moodle core.

filter_tabs' Bootstrap tabs work only with Bootstrap based themes.

filter_tabs provides a fallback for browsers with JavaScript disabled.

Further information

filter_tabs is found in the Moodle Plugins repository: http://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=filter_tabs

Moodle release support

Due to limited ressources, filter_tabs is only maintained for the most recent major release of Moodle. However, previous versions of this plugin which work in legacy major releases of Moodle are still available as-is without any further updates in the Moodle Plugins repository.

There may be several weeks after a new major release of Moodle has been published until we can do a compatibility check and fix problems if necessary. If you encounter problems with a new major release of Moodle - or can confirm that filter_tabs still works with a new major relase - please let us know on https://github.com/moodleuulm/moodle-filter_tabs/issues

Right-to-left support

This plugin has not been tested with Moodle's support for right-to-left (RTL) languages. If you want to use this plugin with a RTL language and it doesn't work as-is, you are free to send me a pull request on github with modifications.
