TabberNeue

TabberNeue is available from BlueSpice 4.4.

Simple Tabs

If you want to organize page content in tabs, you can use a special syntax in source editing mode.

The contents of the tabs cannot be edited in visual editing mode. It is, however, possible to show (transclude) entire wiki pages as the content of the tabs.


Tabs are created with tabName=tabBody and separated by |-|. You can use any content in the tabs, including templates and images.

4 tabs with the content of the first tab shown.
Simple tabs
If you insert the tabs via the Visual Editor Insert menu, omit the beginning and ending <tabber> and </tabber> tags.
<tabber>
|-|Titel für Tab 1=
Content for Tab 1.
|-|Titel für Tab 2=
Content for Tab 2.
|-|Title for Tab 3=
Content for Tab 3.
</tabber>

Nested Tabs

Nested tabbers must be written as parser functions. Instead of the <tabber/> tags, they are enclosed with {{#tag:tabber|}} and separated by {{!}}-{{!}}.

Example of 4 tabs. The sub-tabs of the 1st main tab are open.

</tabber>

Transclusion

With the transclusion mode, the entire contents of the page of the first tab will be transcluded. The transcluded pages in other tabs will be transcluded on-demand with AJAX, performing a request to the MediaWiki api. Once requested, they won't be fetched again until the page is reloaded. Note that Tabbers on the transcluded page will not be rendered. Tabs are created with pageName|tabName, and separated by a new line.

If you insert the tabs via the Visual Editor Insert menu, omit the beginning and ending <tabbertransclude> and </tabbertransclude> tags.


<tabbertransclude>
First Page Name|First Tab Title
Second Page Name|Second Tab Title
Third Page Name|Third Tab Title
</tabbertransclude>

Example

Show the content of the pages Mytransclusion1 and Mytransclusion2 in tabs.

<tabbertransclude>
Mytransclusion1|Page 1
Mytransclusion2|Page 2
</tabbertransclude>

To create the tabs:

  1. Select Insert>Tabber(transclusion) in the editor toolbar.
  2. Write the necessary lines in the tabber inspector pop-up:
  3. Click Done.
  4. Save the page.
    Mytransclusion1|Page 1
    Mytransclusion2|Page 2
    
inspector window with code for transcluding two pages in two tabs.
Inspector window for transcluding two pages


This is the output:

This content comes from the page Mytransclusion1.
