awesome ??

please help out by rating the plugin!

there is no setting implemented ot do this yet, although it is on the todo list.

for now, if you are familiar with javascript, you can edit wp-content/plugins/tab-slide/assets/js/tab_slide.js

line 228

jQuery(settings.toggleEl).click(function () {
	    var move = tabSlide.makeItSlide;
	    move.apply(tabSlide, null);
	  });

is the click event that you can turn into a hover mouseenter event…that should get you part of the way there

When using the_content hook, the v2.0.3 hooks in the same way as the v2.0.2, the only difference is that the hook itself is dynamically constructed. The end result is the same tab slide hooks in via

add_filter('the_content', array( $this, 'append_html_via_filter'), 1 );

The append_html_via_filter callback appends the tab slide content to the content, unhooks itself and returns the modified content.

If you want to use the Tab Slide specific filter, you can do so by switching to the custom hook option and then using that custom hook in your theme.

Thank you for the reconsideration and your response!

When you go to the Tab Slide Settings page you can click on HELP on the right hand upper corner of the screen. This will show descriptions and examples for most of the options. I am looking into creating a video tutorial for both tab slide and tab slide pro in the near future.

This took a while to implement so I ended up releasing this functionality as a premium extension, however it is included for no extra charge with Tab Slide Pro version.

I just released v2.0.3 where I implemented a workaround for better theme integration. You can choose the appropriate hook that tab slide will use to append its content.

Just go to the Tab Slide Settings Advanced options and try setting the Theme Integration Hook to
wp_footer
or perhaps
the_excerpt

If these two don’t work, I suggest contacting the theme developer so they can advise you what is the best hook to use with their theme.

Thanks Texiwill! Much appreciated comment.

I have been looking for the “magic bullet” of a hook but the more I look into it, the more elusive that goal becomes. It seems that this part has been left to theme developers and as you said different theme developers implement things differently.

I think what I’ve finally decided to do is a workaround which I will release in the next version.

The gist of it is: I will create a select dropdown menu in the advanced options that will allow you to select different hooks (such as the_content, the_excerpt, wp_footer, wp_header and a custom hook you can specify into a text input that you can drop in into your specific templates. Also I will add in a conditional to not display the rest of the tab slide, if the content was not included(ie the tab with blank content won’t be showing up)

I think this should provide sufficient ways to integrate tab slide with any theme creating a decent workaround. Any suggestions at this point are welcome!

I find this criticism very unconstructive.

1. Have you tried posting a support request before posting your review?

The “Advanced” settings section allows you to determine how to display the tab:
You can use a shortcode or other various includion methods such as page ids to name the few

2. Have you even tried going to the dedicated support page?

I wrote an extensive how to guide, along with documentation for available plugin filters and action hooks, and there is still a ton of more work to be done.

It looks like he just slapped together a piece of crap just so he could try to sell you his pro version.

Your argument is baseless: Slapped together? Did you look at the code? Or perhaps you examined the timeline of events prior to the release of the plugin?

I had tab slide available for 2 years, prior to launching the premium version, going through numerous version iterations, resulting in more and more features, and vastly improved the code as my wordpress specific coding skills improved.

The main reason why I launched the pro version:

I wanted to dedicate more time to development and consistent support of this plugin, as many users have personally emailed me and requested that I do so as they would gladly support further development of this project.

Each purchase translates to another ~hour freed up, that I can dedicate to development and support of this plugin. This means improvements and more features for both, the free and the premium, versions of the plugin.

YES, this also results in paid customers recieving priority support, but it does not mean that I disregard the free support requests – just take a look at my support responses since the begining of the year – when I launched the premium version of this plugin.

I was not sure how else I could justify taking the time from paid contract projects(my main source of income), to a project that I initially released completely for free to benefit all the wordpress users for the sole purpose of wanting to release an open source project.

Ultimately, it’s all in the mindset. I guess I can’t change the mindset of users like yourself, until you, yourself release an open source project to benefit the community and see how much time it takes to keep something like this going.

Let’s put it this way – would you mind helping me out with one of my websites by writing the content for it, for free? I’ll only need max 6-8hrs a week from you, max! When I put it like that, it sounds a bit ridicolous but that is what I, as a plugin developer, who released an open source plugin, am expected to do. So my options were either to delete the plugin and hence not have to worry about improving it and dedicating my time to support requests; or come up with an alternative solution to keep the project going – and no I don’t believe cluttering the wordpress back end with ads is a better solution.

If you have any alternative suggestions on how plugin developers, like myself, can accomplish this without resorting to a premium plugin with premium support model, I am all ears.

As for advising users not to purchase a pro version and move on to something else:
Provide the alternatives you are advising the users to move on to and state why they are better.

I am all for criticism that helps other users, or helps me improve this plugin, which you are thus far, unable to provide. I mean the gist of what you are saying is: “It’s lame, move on”. I strongly incourage you to respond with some CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, as currently I believe your remarks in their present state are not really of much help to anyone.

I switched over to using the_content filter to avoid injecting the generated html markup into the header – I was previously using the wp_head action. I have to figure out a consistent action/filter that appears in the body of the page, that will be present universally on all pages: ie even the category pages. I will issue a new version with this fix as soon as I figure out what the appropriate filter/action would be.

I have made a checklist for these kind of issues on the official tab slide forum

As I said , it is meant as a quickfix to prevent these two specific notices from displaying. It is by no means a permanent solution.
