Tabs Shortcode

To add tabs to you post or pages just add this shortcode:

[tabs]
[tab title="title1"] tab content 
tab content 
[/tab]
[tab title="title2"] 
another content tab 
[/tab]
[/tabs]

Here are the some attributes that the shortcode also excepts
// default attributes
[tabs collapsible=true selected=’0′ event=’click’ position=’top’ ]
[tab title=”title1″]
tab content
[/tab]
[tab title=”title2″]
another content tab
[/tab]
[/tabs]

• collapsible = true or false – weather the tabs should be allowed to be collapsed – this doesn’t work with twitter bootstrap
• selected = integer for example – what tab should be selected. 0 means the first tab. 1 means the second tab etc.
• event = ‘click’ or ‘mouseover’ – does do you user need to click on the tab or just mouse over to get to the content. Tip: Don’t use mouseover if you are concerned with mobile.
• position = ‘top’ , ‘bottom’ , ‘left’, ‘right’ on what side do you want the tabs to appear. See screenshots for an example.
• vertical_tabs = true or false – depreciated is the same as position = left

Sample CSS

Want to style the tabs a different way.

Here is some sample css to get you started.
Another place to look for it would be the http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/,
The shortcode used the jQuery UI to generate the tabs unless you are using the twitter bootstrap framework.
See the FAQ on how to deal with that case.

How to get rid of unwanted `

` tags

Get rid of unneeded white space inside your shortcode

My theme already has styling for tabs how can I remove the default styling

Easy. Add the line add_theme_support( 'tabs', 'style-only' ); to you functions.php file. Preferably somewhere in a function that is being called by the after theme setup action
add_action(‘after_setup_theme’,’bones_theme_support’);

I am using the twitter bootstrap framework how do I make sure that the tabs work with it.

The shortcode support the twitter bootstrap framework.
add_theme_support( ‘tabs’, ‘twitter-bootstrap’ );

How can I contribute to this plugin
