If you don't like the default look of the tabs, you can style theme using [http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/ jQuery UI ThemeRoller] tool to make your own styles of download other styles from the gallery.
 
 
When you download the jquery ui package (jquery-ui-1.7.1.custom.zip), extract it and copy the files from the '''/css''' directory into this folder:
 
*<span style="color: blue">root\templates\jreviews_overrides\views\themes\{theme_name}\theme_css\jquery_ui_theme\</span>
 
 
 
Copy both jquery-ui-1.7.1.custom.css file and the /images folder.
 
 
After copying, you must '''Clear File Registry''' in JReviews administration
 
 
 
'''NOTE:''' If the downloaded css file has a different version in the filename (jquery-ui-1.7.2.custom.css), it will not be recognized by JReviews. The quickest fix is to rename the file to <span style="color: blue">jquery-ui-1.7.1.custom.css</span>

JReviews already includes a tabbed theme for detail pages. To use this theme you should add the _tabs theme suffix in the Theme Manager to the categories where you want to use this layout.

You can make further changes to detail_tabs.thtml or you can add your own tabs to the core detail theme by editing this file:

  • \com_jreviews\jreviews\views\themes\{theme_name}\listings\detail.thtml


Changes in detail.thtml file

The first step is to add some sample tabs to see if the functionality is working.

Add this code into detail.thtml (where you want the tabs to display, usually below SUMMARY/DESCRIPTION text):

<div class="jrClear"></div>
<div class="jr-tabs jrTabs">
	<ul>
		<li><a href="#tab1">Tab 1</a></li>
		<li><a href="#tab2">Tab 2</a></li>
		<li><a href="#tab3">Tab 3</a></li>
	</ul>
	<div id="tab1">
		This is tab 1 text
	</div>
	<div id="tab2">
		This is tab 2 text
	</div>
	<div id="tab3">
		This is tab 3 text
	</div>
</div>


You should get this:

Next, you can start putting parts of detail page into the tabs.

For example, to add summary/description text inside the first tab, rename "Tab 1" to "Description" and replace "This is tab 1 text" with the summary/description code:

<div class="jrClear"></div>
<div class="jr-tabs jrTabs">
	<ul>
		<li><a href="#tab1">Description</a></li>
		<li><a href="#tab2">Tab 2</a></li>
		<li><a href="#tab3">Tab 3</a></li>
	</ul>
	<div id="tab1">
		<!-- SUMMARY/DESCRIPTION -->
		<div class="contentFulltext">
			<?php echo nl2br($listing['Listing']['text']);?>
		</div>
	</div>
	<div id="tab2">
		This is tab 2
	</div>
	<div id="tab3">
		This is tab 3
	</div>
</div>

Do the same for other parts of detail page, just paste the code into the tab divs.


Displaying each field group in one tab

If you want to display each field group in a separate tab instead of the default field output, replace this code in the detail.thtml file:

<!-- CUSTOM FIELDS -->
<?php echo $CustomFields->displayAll($listing,'content');?>


with this:

<?php
$groups = array();
foreach($listing['Field']['groups'] AS $group=>$fields){
    $groups[$group] = array($group=>$fields);
}
?>
<div class="jr-tabs jrTabs" style="width: 60%;" >
    <ul>
    <?php $i=0;foreach($groups AS $group_name=>$fieldGroup):$i++;?>
    <li><a href="#field_group<?php echo $i;?>"><span><?php echo $fieldGroup[$group_name]['Group']['title'];?></span></a></li>
    <?php endforeach;?>
    </ul>
    <?php $i=0;foreach($groups AS $group_name=>$fieldGroup):$i++;?>
    <div id="field_group<?php echo $i;?>"><?php echo $CustomFields->displayAll($listing,'content',$group_name);?></div>
    <?php endforeach;?>
</div>


If you want to display the tabs in the same row as the images, you will need to adjust the width here:

<div class="jr-tabs jrTabs" style="width: 60%;" >


Add this line into detail.css file (it fixes an issue when tabs are displayed next to the images):

.jrTabs .ui-helper-clearfix:after {clear: left; }


Here is how the field groups will look like:

Tabs only on certain Sections/Categories

If you want tabs only on certain sections or categories, use the Theme Manager to create theme suffixes.

For example, you can make modifications on detail_tabs.thtml file, and that file will be used only on sections/categories where you enter "_tabs" as theme suffix in Theme Manager.
