moodle-filter_tabs

Moodle filter which creates tabs in textfields

Requirements

This plugin requires Moodle 3.1+

Installation

Install the plugin like any other plugin to folder /filter/tabs

See http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_plugins for details on installing Moodle plugins

Usage

First, activate the filter_tabs plugin in Site administration -> Plugins -> Filters -> Manage filters

To create tabs in textfields, use the following syntax:

{%:Tab title}Tab text{%}

Example

The following placeholders in a textfield:

{%:First tab}Some text{%}
{%:Second tab}Another text{%}

will produce this tab group:

+-----------+------------+
| First tab | Second tab |
+------------------------+-------------------------+
| Some text                                        |
|                                                  |
+--------------------------------------------------+

Settings

When you install filter_tabs with its default settings, it will replace the tab syntax with tabs provided by the Bootstrap framework which is present in Moodle since Moodle 2.5.

However, Moodle still ships with the YUI JavaScript library which has been used in Moodle for a long time and which also provides a tabs functionality. While the default Bootstrap tabs conform to modern Bootstrap based themes much better than YUI tabs, there might still be the need to have YUI tabs in some installations. filter_tabs will continue to support YUI tabs as long as Moodle core ships YUI.

To make use of the legacy YUI tabs, please visit Plugins -> Filters -> Tabs. There you can disable Bootstrap tabs.

Themes

filter_tabs should work with all themes from moodle core and with 3rd party Bootstrap based themes.

filter_tabs provides a fallback for browsers with JavaScript disabled.

Further information

filter_tabs is found in the Moodle Plugins repository: https://moodle.org/plugins/view/filter_tabs

Moodle release support

Due to limited resources, filter_tabs is only maintained for the most recent major release of Moodle. However, previous versions of this plugin which work in legacy major releases of Moodle are still available as-is without any further updates in the Moodle Plugins repository.

There may be several weeks after a new major release of Moodle has been published until we can do a compatibility check and fix problems if necessary. If you encounter problems with a new major release of Moodle - or can confirm that filter_tabs still works with a new major relase - please let us know on https://github.com/JosePFs/moodle-filter_tabs/issues

Right-to-left support

This plugin leverages Moodle's support for right-to-left (RTL) languages. This support was added as a contribution by nadavkav. However, we don't regularly test it with a RTL language. If you have problems with the plugin and a RTL language, you are free to send us a pull request on github with modifications.
