<p>This simple plugin is designed primarily for sites that are using WordPress as a content management system, however it can be extremely useful for both. If you are using a more complex WordPress install and theme you are likely to end up with a long list of dialog boxes on the edit pages to manage the different elements of your site. This can be a usability problem for two reasons, one being that a client may not know they have control over an element because it will be hidden way down the page. Additionally you can get to a point where you have to scroll way down and up to make changes and then publish the site.</p>
<p>This is especially true if you are using CMS plug-ins like PODS or Flutter.</p>
<p>I am currently working on finding a way to better work around moving meta boxes into the right hand column. Currently doing so will still give it the behavior of being a tabbed content area until you reload the edit page. IE: It will still show / hide the content and the tab will still appear in the menu as well. Any suggestions on the logic / behavior would be greatly appreciated as I am somewhat stumped at this point.</p>
<p>Changes</p>
<p>1.75 – Improved the styling of the tabs. Improved the handling with hidden / disabled fields. Fixed javascript conflicts for drag and drop menus in WordPress 3.0</p>


Editor Tabs

Clean up the editing pages in the administration panel by turning all of the modules and meta box's into dynamic javascript tabs.

<h4>General Information</h4>
<p>More than one testimonials shortcode or widget instance can be displayed at a time on a page. Additionally, with shortcodes and theme functions, you can display a short or long list or rotation of testimonials anywhere you need.</p>
<p>Through categories and tagging, you can create organizational structures. Using categories for products, projects and services you can then apply tagging for further classification.</p>
<p>As an example, create a <strong>Portfolio</strong> category and then use tags to identify <em>web</em>, <em>magazine</em>, <em>media</em>, <em>public</em>, <em>enterprise</em>, or other niches. Then configure the Testimonial instance to show only <strong>Portfolio</strong> testimonials with the <em>public</em> and <em>enterprise</em> tags. In another Testimonial instance, you can also select only <strong>Portfolio</strong> testimonials, but then allow <em>web</em> and <em>media</em> tags.</p>
<p>For easy custom styling, each testimonial widget has its own CSS class identifier.</p>
<p>Widgets display content sans <code>wpautop</code> formatting. This means there’s no forced paragraph breaks unless the content specifically contains them. If needed, you can enable <code>wpautop</code> via the “Keep whitespace?” option.</p>
<p>The single testimonial view supports image, author, title, location, email, company and URL details.</p>
<p>User submitted testimonials are marked as “Pending” in WordPress Admin > Testimonials listing. Testimonials are saved to the <code>testimonials-widget</code> custom post type.<br />
