SP Tab


This module comes with 10 preset styles and each preset has 3 color schemes which ensure that the module will fit any types of website.

Hope the developers can get this fixed would love to be able to use it again on my updated site, worked like a charm on 2.5 but not at all on 3.0.
unless i am completely missing something - other than the fact that so many of you actually gave this mod a '5', i would stay far away from this and look towards a more rewarding use of your time.
And I quote the following comment, since it is the truth:
"In general, Joomla is easy to work, and if someone can't make this extension work properly, I don't believe the user can even manage to install Joomla.".
Now I wonder where the sixth star.
thank you very much and expect more.
Thanks :)
Considering that this extension is free, it's fair users do their homework before complaining. In general, Joomla is easy to work, and if someone can't make this extension work properly, I don't believe the user can even manage to install Joomla.
Courtesy and Honesty - I sent a friendly email and 2 days later still received no reply:
"Hi Kowshar,
I am new to Joomla and still learning.
I have installed SP Tab and I see it in Modules, but there is absolutely
no documentation on what to do next, to be able to choose the different
styles as shown on the demo page.
I have read the forum for SP Tab and there is no instructions there either.
There no documentation included when one follows the "Documentation" link
here: (Cannot post a link here, but I mentioned the link that the "documentation" button links to, but there is no documentation.)
Please can you inform me as to where exactly the
documentation/instructions are?
Kind regards,
Wayne"
Pros & Cons of the extension and its performance - I could not get it to work, since there is no documentation/instructions.
Level of support received - None and others asking for documentation, in the SP Tab creators' forum, as long as 4 months ago, also recieved no answer.
Ease of usage and deployment - Cannot get it to work since the is no documentation/instructions for people new to Joomla and the product.
Purpose of using the extension (i.e., "I used this extension for a magazine site.") - I used the version 1.5 extension for a standard version 1.5 Joomla site.
Level of difficulty - For me, new to Joomla and the extension, it was very difficult to use without documentation/instructions.
Your experience level with Joomla and web technologies - New to Joomla and still learning.
Anyway, it's already an marvelous extension.
Only one question. Can I show only by alphabetic name modules?
I don't need this feature. Thanks
However, JQUERY USERS beware! if you've linked to the jquery lib in your source file (even if you don't use any jquery scripts) SP tabs will not show up on your page. I spent half an hour trying to figure out what the problem was, then as soon as I removed my jquery link, it worked perfectly.
It will work with jQuery if you use jQuery noConflict method.
if ($defined(window.jQuery) && $type(jQuery.noConflict)=='function') {
jQuery.noConflict();
}
