Tabs outside of the Admin area... - 08/30/2007 9:33 PM
Howdy all,
I'm looking to do some modding to a new 7.2.1 board of mine (actually, it's an upgraded board from a really old WWWThreads install (which speaking of W3T...has anyone (or Rick) seen THIS?, lol), but all of my experience is with 6.x and earlier threads, so I'm still getting acclimated to the whole template system we've got going on now.... so please bear with me
Anyway, to the point... I have a need to display multiple lists/categories on a single screen at once and it occurred that a very slick (and overall the best) way of doing it would be to use the tabbed interface that is in the Admin area, but upon doing a wee bit of research it looks like those functions are only available from `admin.inc.php`. Is this the case? If so, am I correct in not wanting to include admin includes in a standard page (yeah, shouldn't matter, but I'm paranoid a bit )? Also, will the tabbing that is built in handle nested tabs?? Does anyone have any sample code of nested tabs?
I have a 3rd party tabbing solution I could use, but for many reasons I'd prefer to stay within the UBBT framework as much as possible.
Thanks in Advance!
