Hello,
Does anyone know how can we break a looooong record to many tabs using TabbedView and TabbedTab?
Thank you,
George

Hi George
You can spread different fields of the same record over different tabs.
To do this you can place a new Record on each tab and make sure that the record is synched to the same record.
e.g.
WHERE ID=ID
(ID=URL variable)
The only problem is that if you will need to Submit (Save) changes for each form (tab) separately.
You can experiment having one Save button which onclick submits all forms and therefore saves all records and all changes on all tabs. (To avoid confusion hide or delete the actual Submit buttons on each form/tab.)
Is this what you meant?

Thank you for your reply andy.
Well, yes and no. I think it might work the way you describe but it seems that it will need a lot of hacking for every record page that I need to use tabbed interface (I like the tab idea so there will be many long records to break to tabs).
In this case it might be best to find a ready-made javascript to do it and forget TabbedTab and TabbedView.
Isn't there an easier way to work this kind of stuff with TabbedTab and TabbedView (or an alternative)?

The records I am interested to break are about four screens moving up/down (in 1650x1050).

Hi Carlos
Nice looking tab implementation. One question:
Are you able to put your divs (tabs) within the form
i.e. one form, multiple tabs?

Thank you Carlos, the script looks great! I will try it and see how it works with CCS records.
I also found a jQuery alternative, it is wizard like but with little CSS modification it easily looks like tabbed interface. I didn't tried it yet with CCS records:
Plugin: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/WizardForm
Demo: http://www.sagecraft-studios.com/jquery/wizard-form-demo.html

Sorry, Aleister
I meant how many fields makes you say the record is very long?
I've just split one record of 200 field into 4 tabs in CCS and it worked brilliant. Plus you get all the benefits of being able to hide and show stuff in each panel.
When Yes fix the "keep current tab after submission" issue it'll be the dogs dangly bits

Hello Waspman,
They are about 40-50 fields.
How did you managed to split them in CCS? I mean did you take an existing long record and did a selective copy/paste into tabs (correcting html tags)? You opened the source in an external editor and did it by hand? Did you used another method?
Thank you.

It's a learner profile in a training system so the first tab has a record form with all the fields that relate to personal data, the next tab has a record form with all the fields that hold course data and so on. All the fields are from the one record in the table. They are just four record forms spread across the four tabs, nothing clever. A couple have data that only relates to certain learners and I hide and show panels for this.
I choose to submit each one separately cos they do have actions attached if certain things happen. But you could easily update/insert all forms simultaneously.
As I always say, it can't be hard cos I can do it. There are some CCS wizards on here that would use magic to achieve it, but for me...it's got to be VERY simple

Thank you Waspman,
I am trying to do it in a single form/record so I think I will use a third party tabbed interface to split the record in DIVs and show them as tabs.

I put several div into one record form, and I put the buttond below the tabs, so the tabs don't affect the form, only is a visual aspect, also i put some extra tabs (div) into panels and I show that based on some data or if the record is new or old, etc.
regards
Carlos
