Have you taken a look at the default css generated by the plugin on its admin page? Specifically:

/* Default CSS generated by dTabs */

/* style the tabs in IE (the trailing comma prevents other browsers from reading this) */
.tabbar li, .tabbar ul li, {

	/* make them horizontal in IE*/
	display: inline;

	/* space them a little in IE*/
	margin: 0 5px;
}

/* style the tabs */
.tab, .tabselected {

	/* make them horizontal in Firefox 2*/
	display: -moz-inline-box;

	/* make them horizontal in all other browsers*/
	display: inline-block;
}

Hope that helps ??

Fixed in version 1.3 ??

This is css a problem in Firefox 2 which does not handle “display: inline-block;” correctly. It has been fixed in Firefox 3 and it will also be addressed in the upcoming release of dTabs.

In the meantime a checkout the fix in dTabs support and feedback.

Try re-installing Kubrick Tabs, it sounds like somewhere along the way maybe you’ve overwritten Kubrick Tab’s style.css with Kubrick’s style.css

Just installing and activating dTabs and installing and enabling Kurbick Tabs should display some default tabs (formatted as tabs) straight out of the box.

OK folks, site’s up again. Thanks for your patience, dTabs 1.1 was the last release, let me know whether that solves your problems or not and hopefully we can get everything sorted for the next release ??

Hi all, I think I did manage to fix that particular problem lydia. What version of dTabs do you two have installed?

My domain’s active again now, but my hosting got disabled in the process (d’oh). So I’m currently looking around for a new host. Thanks for your kind offer jdkwebconsulting, but I’ve got a few sites I’m going to have to move so I’m looking for somewhere for them all to live together really.

Hopefully it should be all sorted by next week anyways.

Hi ashiado, I’m having problems with my host/domain registrar at the moment (as in he hasnt renewed my domain) but currently looking for a new one so hopefully things will get sorted out within a couple of weeks ??

for anyone that tried to download the plugin earlier and had problems, I’ve fixed the link now

Okay, I have made the dynamic tabs plugin and it seems to be working all ok.
If anybody would be interested in trying it out, your comments and suggestions would be most appreciated –
whether they’re on the plugin itself or my explainations …whatever ??

if you could leave comments here or on my site that would be great

dTabs Pluggin

Here’s a few features I’ve been looking for in a media/image gallery, a wordpress plugin that addressed them would be amazing , I’ve tried to catogarise them a little and I’ve given each feature a rating out of 5 of how important they are to me, 5 being very important, 1 being not so important.

Uploading
  mass upload (via ftp or otherwise) [5]
  web interface upload for users [3]
  ability to add any file type (configurable) to the gallery with changable icon sets for non-picture formats[2]
  optional automatic thumb generation on/after upload[5]

Security
  password protected categories[4]
  access controlled categories (via user role/level)[5]
  user role/level determined upload options[5]
  moderation of user uploads (depending on above user role/determined upload options) [5 – if users can upload]
  a configuarble list of ileagal file types that can’t be uploaded (ie php exe) [5 – if any file type can be added to the gallery]
  custom user groups [3]

Other features
  description of each item in the gallery [3]
  optional info about each item displaid in gallery or each item page (eg size, creation date, views/downloads) [3]
  comments/discussion for each item in the gallery [2]
  user rating for each item in the gallery [1]
  an optional “most visited” category [1]
  an optional “*new” category [1]
  a way of viewing recent comments [1]

I know theres quite a few there, it would be top if you could address each one, but realistically I realise that some may not be all that do-able. Hope it gives you some inspiration and idea of priority anyhow.

Don’t forget to let us know when your plugin is finished ??

In case anyone else has this problem, the only work around i could think of was to pass the global variable into the function when calling the function ie:

<head>
<?php
$current_tab = 'home';

function get_tab($tab,$tab_href,$tab_title,$current_tab) {
if ($current_tab == $tab) {
$tab_class = 'tabselected';
} else {
$tab_class = 'tab';
}
echo "
< a href='$tab_href' class='$tab_class'>$tab_title</a >";
}
?>
</head>
<body>
<?php
get_tab('home','/','Welcome',$current_tab);
?>
</body>

This probably isn’t very good coding, but it does work.

I know bumps are annoying, but does anyone have any ideas whatsoever? Im still stumped ??

Thankyou in advance

Thanks for the reply schestowitz. No the actual function i was trying to use was


<head>
<?php
$current_tab = 'home';

function get_tab($tab,$tab_href,$tab_title) {
global $current_tab;
if ($current_tab == $tab) {
$tab_class = 'tabselected';
} else {
$tab_class = 'tab';
}
echo "
< a href='$tab_href' class='$tab_class'>$tab_title</a >";
}
?>
</head>
<body>
<?php
get_tab('home','/','Welcome');
get_tab('news','/articles/','News');
get_tab('tools','/tools/','Tools');
get_tab('support','/support/','Support');
get_tab('contact','/contact/','Contact');
?>
</body>

$current_tab works fine outside of the function – if i try and echo $current_tab within the function as the link text for instance, nothing is printed so it’s like it just hasn’t passed into the function, if i echo it in the body tags however it prints fine – so i don’t think its a variable collision, unless i’m misunderstanding what you mean by that.

My understanding of php isn’t fantastic, so i tired to use a much simpler function for testing purposes just so I could be sure it wasn’t get_tab() .

Thanks for your suggestion though, any more ideas? …pretty please
