The plugin already comes with 2 pre-built template layouts and using MVC overrides you can create your own by simply copying one of the pre-built and modifying the HTML and/or CSS.
You can use the plugin's tags in any component, module or plugin that supports 'content plugin' parsing. Aside the default Joomla! article system, you can use for example the plugin in the popular K2 content extension, in Virtuemart, inside the 'Custom HTML' module etc.
=== SCREENSHOTS ===
See screenshots of the 2 pre-built template layouts here in the plugin's description page: http://www.joomlaworks.net/extensions/free-premium/tabs-sliders-for-articles-plugin
=== COMPATIBILITY ===
The plugin has been tested on all modern browsers, including IE7 or higher. It should degrade gracefully in IE6.
It's compatible with Joomla! version 1.5 to 2.5.
Joomla!'s Mootools is required as it's used by the plugin's extremely lightweight sliders script.
=== PERFORMANCE ===
The plugin adds only a few KBs overall to your site.
It also uses the Joomla! API to attach 1 JS and 1 CSS file to the document . This means the plugin will have no problem being used in combination with other "performance" plugins which compress JS and/or CSS files on your site.

Very useful, I use it in event content in JCal to add more infos to event page in a small space. I really love the possibility to insert in each tab any kind of content, like a jumi mos code or a video embedded through allvideos plugin. Just fantastic and very stylish looking. I have it in my "core" mambots!
great, very usefull and easy to use!
I see it have a problem with firefox, infact in the page appears the same tabs two time, like this:
firstnametabs | second Name Tabs | Third Name Tabs
firstnametabs | second Name Tabs | Third Name Tabs
with IE all it's normal!
bye and thx!

Hi, unfortunately the bot does not work for our template nor does the Simple Image Gallery Lightbox. We're using a very fine Joomlart Template . With another template at least the Simple Image does work fine (didn't test the slider there). The answer from the authors seem too easy to me (in case of the Simple Image): "The answer is simple: it's your template's fault. Revert to the default template of Joomla! to make sure." But we can't just change the template! What can we do?
This plugin is great...but when i used with mambot adsense it only show adsense on the first three tabs after the third tab it did not show any.
Never have I used a plug-in that's so simple to use. AWESOME!
It would be very nice if you noted in the Troubleshooting section that two tabs can't have the same name, even if they're nested inside different slides; they won't show up in one of the slides AT ALL, even though they show up in the HTML. I spent 2 hours rewriting HTML, removing spaces, adding breaks, removing breaks, even creating a fresh content item, and finally figured it out. It may be intuitive to some, but not to the average user.

Great plugin if you're using Firefox, but it doesn't work in the latest version of IE.
Unfortunate considering the majority of people still use IE.
I really like how it works in Firefox, unfortunately I'm going to have to find a different solution until this works properly in IE.

i have figured out some problems.
First this plug in only works when if there is any content on page. On component pages it won't work at all.
If you wanna view on component page you have to add this to you template
@import "/mambots/content/plugin_jw_tabs_slides/tabs_slides.css";
.tabbernav {display:none;}
var jw_slideSpeed = 10; var jw_timer = 10;
@import
"/templates/orloo/css/template_css.css";
and if you wanna use it on your modules. example
Module1 | Module2 | Module3
you have to add some more module positions for your modules example
module1 /position/
module2 /position/
module3 /position/
and you need to make new user module and you have to make like this
{tab=Module1}{mosloadposition module1}
{tab=Module2}{mosloadposition module2}
{tab=Module3}{mosloadposition module3}
{/tabs}
make sure that you have choosen Module1 module for module1 position. etc
Hope that it helps you

I love it when stuff just works, and this does. It's an excellent feature set and should really be included in Joomla core.
I have two suggested improvements. First, it would be great if tab fixed height was configurable in the Administrator backend. Second, it would have saved me a little confusion and time if the documentation had suggested adding "ul.tabbernav, ul.tabbernav li {background: none;}" to template css if list items otherwise feature custom bullets. Other than that, no complaints. Awesome plugin and thank you for sharing it with the community!

This plugin rocks! It allows to present multiple content on one single page, giving the reader the possibility to poke around...
I had a problem with the tabs, showing listing points in front when inactive. My support-request was answered very precise in ~2 days and now everything works well!
Thanks for this great plugin!

I was really looking forward to this bot, but I need it to work in both IE and FF. Thought it worked well in IE, in Firefox I get absolutely nothing showing from the point of the first {tab} insert and on.
I guess I'll just have to wait for it to mature a bit more.

Check documentation for troubleshooting. I guess some html tags are not "closing" properly, thus the layout of the tabs break.
This plugin is what we need - but not in this version. I have installed it properly. The tabs don't show up at all. The slides do, but they are not clickable, or at least, nothing happens when I click them.
Reading the reviews confirms my feelings. Meddling with , with mosshowhead(), with mysterious JS conflicts etc. shows that this plugin is simply not yet "ripe". That's a pity, because I think Many Joomla users would definitely benefit from the many interface niceties which are possible with tabs and slides. But they'll have to wait another couple of versions, I'm afraid.

Such conflicts have been addressed successfully in version 2.2! Check it out! And the tabs/slides load now faster!
Nice program with plenty of applications that works flawlessly in Internet Explorer. Strangely, Firefox refuses to recognize this bot when run in a substantive number of templates, especially those with javascript includes. The moving "moshowhead" tip works for some, not for others. Remember to check yours in Firefox as part of your testing process.
I realy thought this was it, and sure on the demo site it looks awesome.
But if you have a fully packed website with over 20/30 components the chances are it won't work.
The tab is completely dead and doesnt show anything. The slider shows (the image STAR) but doesn't open and naturaly then the text doesn't show.
I did reported this to the author,he replied with the suggestion to put the mosShowHead() just before the closing head tag, just in case, but that didnt help.
So i can only say that if you have a lot installed/used on your site then forget about using it. It will conflict with other included scripts.

Most of the times, the problem is actually caused by the template. Most template providers prefer nowadays to flood their creations with js scripts that display some nice effects. But these effects can often interfere with other js scripts, like the ones used in this specific plugin.
So yes, moving the mosShowHead code lower than every js include in the template, usually does the job. But not always as it seems in your case, when as you say you have 20-30 extensions (!) loaded. I guess that maximizes possibilities of js conflict! ;)
Hi, as you can see at the demo site ( demo.joomlaworks.gr ) the plugin works really fine with IE, FF and Opera!
When I am working a plugin, i do it first with FireFox!!!
Please provide a link to see your problem!
Are you sure that is not a problem of your template?
With the default template you have the same problem?
Thanx for using it! ;-)

The new version looks great ! Unfortunately can only get it to work on IE - won't work on Firefox (dunno about other browsers such as Opera)
Hope you'll solve this problem as this is something I really want with my site (using 1.0 at the moment)
Great work on the slides by the way, top notch !
