2J Tabs can emulate multi-pages structure based on the joomla content articles as result your visitors will get easy access to the big content articles (no need to scroll through a large page). Also 2JTabs have ability to load up joomla external modules to the tabs from joomla template locations (for example: left, right, banner, user1 and etc...).
2J Tabs have 4 ways of usage:
* using regular module you can insert tabs with content articles from joomla content category or section;
* using plugin tag which you will be able setup in component , and after that insert to the content article as tabbed content section. So you can insert tabs with articles from joomla content category or section;
* using plugin tags to split one content article to the tabbed section;
* direct link to the component;
2J Tabs have few navigation modes:
* using regular tab navigation buttons (on top or bottom of the tabs block);
* using auto rotation mode for tabs changing process (with effects);
2J Tabs have options to make custom template for article which tabs will show, using special tags you can post in custom position ID of the article, text of the article, item title, read more link, creation date, last modification date, author name, author id, ability to insert read more link somewhere in content.

The plugin does the job in most circumstances but :
_ The support is quite bad (you may have to wait several days, sometimes weeks to get answers)
_ We encouter some layout display problems several times (with complex tableless layouts) that couldn't be solved (even by the support).
_ If you think to use it in an non-pro website : it's ok. Otherwise, for professional websites, you should look for another solution.

I must say I had my doubts buying this extension, I thought there must be some of the free ones that could provide close to the same quality. But after trying several of the free ones, I must say that none of them are close to 2jtabs. I experienced many faults on the free ones and spent many hours trying to fix the problems. I have just bought this extension 15 min ago and within 5 min I had it running perfectly on my site. Even though there is no forum, there is a user guide that is 17 pages long and provides both screenshots and thorough help guides. All i can say is thumbs up ! ;) good work , keep it up :)

Tons of tab effects and perfect for those who can use advanced CSS.
Access to updates only 6 months, though.

I needed a little help getting started, and the developer was very prompt in replying to emails. He sent me a file to show how he did the setup. I'm sure it would be easy for more experienced Joomla users but I'm still confused by the connection between articles, sections, categories and modules.
Once that was sorted out, this is VERY easy to setup. I created five articles in one category (one article for each tab.) Then select that category in the 2JTabs module. Refine the settings, put the 2JTabs module in a Position and enable it. It was such a surprise to see it worked immediately without any fussing with the settings. Wow!!
This Tabs module doesn't conflict with anything on my site. I've had lots of problems with javascript conflicts, but apparently this one doesn't use javascript even when it's running in slideshow mode. If it does use javascript they've refined it so there aren't as many problems.
This program is compiled so it's not as easy to do custom CSS but there are 21 style sheets for the tabs so it doesn't matter. Besides, most of the "styling" is done in my articles where there is plenty of freedom for designing.
This module is well worth the modest price. It's just so good!! It adds lots of glamour to the front page of my site, without causing any trouble for anything else on the site.
There are lots of potential uses for this program. I'm so happy with my first set of tabs, I'm trying to figure out how else I can use it, because this was FUN.

This is a power pure extension. i highly recommend this excellent piece of work.
this is far more than a tabsmanager. in my case i use this extension to arrange articles at random order on categorie pages. i can define exactly how many articles to display on each page/tab, the rest is done automaticly. its kind of ajax pagination module in my case.
the flexibility makes this extension so worthy. you can display sections/categories, modules or even modulpositions in tabs. The most amazing thing for me is the high range of ordering you can chose from (11 options!!). although 2Jtabs is highly flexible, the extension is really easy to use. i am not a developer and i set up tabs in 2 minutes.
the support is awesome. i had 2 questions and a template fix which were done in a few minutes by responding immediately. i have to say that i would love to see a support forum too but you know what ... only the result counts: fast, friendly and fixed
knowing the other tabs extensions at JED, 2Jtabs topped my expectations and now i dont want to miss this extension anylonger.
i am a happy man because this extension can do things for me that can not be done by other extensions.
thank you. thank you. thank you

I have used the Jomlma 1.0 and 1.5 versions of this component and plugin. I like the ease of use and clearly it has many customisation options - certainly more than I need. I have very simple requirments. It was very easy to upgrade to the 1.5 version when required.
My only gripe is that every time I have a question I have to log in to the ticket system support area. There appears to be no forum. This is more than just a shame - it's actually quite annoying. I make simple usage of most of the extensions I buy and I only buy extensions that have been well reviewed. I am fairly certain that any problem I encounter will have been encountered by more before me. It's not that the support questions go unanwsered - but it's a pain to have to wait for someone to answer your questions - which have no doubt been encountered and answered by a hunderd different users already. Why not make that knowledge publicly available ???
If there is already a forum I apologise, but I can't find it.
The product is excellent but I set aside time to make changes to my websites. Not being able to do things when I want to do them downgrades the value of the product for me.

Thank you for your comments, we’re really appreciate it. According to your questions we’re using our own model of support: we have knowledge base with frequently asked questions and we have documentation with details of the installation and setup process for every product at client member place section.
In the case if customer do not able to find reply for they questions in FAQ , they able to post ticket to support section and we’re do our best to reply ASAP for all questions! (btw. Right now we’re working on new version of our CRM system with more advanced support section integrated with another products management tools. Main goal of this updates make life of our customers more easy and comfortable!)
Forum in the most cases it’s tool for slow support, where customer have to looking for reply during days and in the some cases with forum customers even stay single with they questions/problems most of the times, as result they trying to find solution communicating to each other.
We’re providing professional support for commercial extensions, so with our support ticket system we’re much close to our customers, then some other developers with forum.

I've bought this very nice package (component, module, plugin) a few days ago and run into some problems with another ajax-powered plugin on my admin-backup. The guys from "2joomla.net" gave me a superb support and fixed this issue in a snap 8-))
I've searched for a possibility to create tabs inside my articles without the need of creating additional modules. 2J Tabs allows me exactly to do this using special tags inside an article. You also have a powerfull component to create a bundle of tabs and include them using a unique created tag...

As I had a little porblem with 2Jtabs on a page of my website, i wrote a ticket on their support assistance and had an useful help in less than one hourr ! Is that not amazing ? :-)
How many times have you downloaded a module, visited the provider's forum to figur eout how to format your module like the demo, only read dozens of posts that are titled: How to format like the demo?
This module does what it's developers say it does and looks like the demos on their site.
Best of all I had a minor glitch related to my template. These guys responded quickly. They already knew what the problem was. The asked for my FTP and Bankend info and modified the module to match the template issue. What more could you ask?

Firstly of all, i would say tha this extension makes life easier, because, do what it says, and it does pretty well. You have loads of posibilities with this extension and ther are no strange hacks to our joomla wich affects to other parts of the site.
The only thing what i´m encountering problems is for making this extension to work with RSFORM PRO, because you can´t put a form in a tab (it does not reconize the code of the plugin of the form). Despite this thing, the extension is absolutely recomensable a worths what it cost (altough i hada to use other tab extension for my forms)

This is a great extension - it is just what the client asked for and works like a charm. As a beginner to Joomla, I had a bit of trouble fitting it into my design, but the developer was extremely helpful and got it working for me. Excellent service and excellent product. I highly recommend it!

2J Tabs proves to me, imho, that it is worth paying for the product.
Not only is 2J Tabs a much more robust and flexible product than the free ones out there but the developer(s)/support team really do their best to help with issues. Even when they are your own (ignorant) doing.
I am sooo happy that I came acros this!

Just wanted to take a minute, i was extensively searching for the optimal tabbed component or module to meet my needs. I found this one to meet and exceed all! Easy to install and work with once you read the docs and understand how the program works. Great value for the price, I was adding the Arabic language to one of my sites, and needed to flip from LTR to RTL page format. Dave quickly responded to my ticket and spent the time researching what needed to be done, and quickly fixed my problem.
Great component, great support!

I am surprised that someone says its not worth being a paid product. I have used plenty of free tabs and even the YooCarousel etc.
This product is innovative and second to none. I strongly recommend this product. Love the way the styles can be changed easily and different approaches of showing tabs on the site can be achieved.
I also got quick support for my questions.

I've tried most all of the other similar extensions available. I find 2J Tabs to be extremely easy to use, flawless in it's execution, and easily customizable. Customer service is great as well. Great job guys.

In the past week I have tested at least 10 module sliders, tabs in content areas and such. In my research two things happened. I found that two many Java scripts on one page usually means that most or none of them might run. I also found that Many tabs in content have one tool or another, but none had the user set that I found in this one component/plugin.
PROS: It works!
Although that should be enough, it came with more styles than any that I tested.
It had more controls beyond needed to change the CSS to make the layout look like my site.
Great Support! Fast answers and relatively simple to get information concerning product from site. Explanations were solid, thanks.
CONS: It costs money. But this is only a CON in the sense that there may be someone who is willing to use 4 or 5 tools to get what this has in one.
Having really noticed anymore downsides yet. Have been using for 5 days now.
To me it was worth the price. Beyond funky slider and Gavick Tab Module, this tool will get plenty of use in my articles because the component feature in it much like the Gavick Tool Module means that I will have lots of articles that I use the Tab component to keep track of. At first this seems like a small thing when you get something free. However,when you discover you have 100 articles and tabbed content in many of them, you realize that organization is important.
Kudos guys.

I believe I was one of the first to buy this extension and am so glad I did.
The developer emailed me to thank me for my purchase personally, and then asked for my feedback.
I provided this feedback as I could do with a little tweak in how 2JTabs worked for my site.
Not only did the developer help me to get this working as I wanted, but he also released an update with the tweaks I had asked for built in.
This is the ultimate tab component, module and plugin available for Joomla!
Its awesome just how much you can do with it, and also the styles you get as standard.
Beats other tab modules hands down, worth every penny in my opinion, and I dont say that very often about extensions that cost money when its for an open source project.
Love it!

I used some free solution before and had trouble with the installation and use of it. That's why I decided to give this extension a try, after the friendly staff helped me to install everything, the extension was up and running smoothly! My website looks a lot better now! Thanks!
byARUS on July 6, 2008
nice features, but imo the module is not worthy for being paid. Tabs and Slides in Content does nearly the same for free, also for both 1.5 and 1.0
Owner's reply
Thank you for your feedback, let me compare for you, to show difference between Tabs and Slides and 2JTabs (to make you able to decide if it’s worth to be paid). My guess that you didn’t buy our product and wasn’t able to compare them to see difference.
2J Tabs have 4 ways of usage on the front end (btw Tabs and Slider can be used only one way):
* using regular module you can insert tabs with content articles from joomla content category or section;
* using plugin tag which you will be able setup in component , and after that insert to the content article as tabbed content section. So you can insert tabs with articles from joomla content category or section;
* using plugin tags to split one content article to the tabbed section;
* direct link to the component;
When you use 2JTabs with mambot tags (namely insert tabs instances into content articles) you able to specify personal style for every instance of the 2JTabs (not sure that you will be able to do something like this with Tabs and Slider);
2JTabs have 21 pre-installed skins and ability to make your custom skins based on preinstalled custom style , using CSS editor (in joomla admin section / 2JTabs component);
2J Tabs have few navigation modes:
* using regular tab navigation buttons (on top or bottom of the tabs block);
* using auto rotation mode for tabs changing process (with effects);
2JTabs have Slide and Fade effects, ability to align navigation buttons on left or right of the
top or bottom side of the tabs panel.
2JTabs can be navigate in automatic or manual mode. In second case tabs could be changed by click or by hover.
A lot of customization options make you able to manage every element of the 2JTabs front end interface, using diff. alignment , padding options.
And much more options, which you can see in our product details (against of 2 settings options of the Tabs and Sliders….)
I think it’s not fair to compare Tabs and Sliders (plugin with 2 settings options) with 2JTabs (component + module + plugin with more then 40 settings options!!!)
Great add-on to 2JTabs it’s FREE and FAST support , which help you to sort any kind of problems right away (we’ll help you in the case if you will have some kind of conflicts at your site between 2JTabs and another extension).
We’re ready to reply to any kind of questions related with our extensions right away, just let us to know !
So right now it’s up to you to decide worth this extension to be paid or not !
