tabs not being displayed properly in Tiki4

posts: 13

Hi,

I am wanting to use the tabs plugin on my fresh TW4 installation. And the functionality works but it's displayed wrong (screenshot attached).

I am using the MilkyWay theme and am getting this view on multiple browsers.

It happens whilst using the example code from the documentation here.

Thanks for your help

I've confirmed the bug in the Strasa theme as well on one of our sites running Tiki 4.

I know for a fact that TABS plugin works great in Tiki 5 since I've been using it a lot for some of the new sites that we've been working on.

I'm sure the problem can be fixed for the next release of 4 but I don't know when that next patch is due. On the other hand Tiki 5 official release is very soon. If you are able to upgrade your site to Tiki 5 you would get the TABS plugin working correctly and also benefit from many of the new improvements.

Hope this helps,
Pascal

Thanks Pascal!

that's valuable info as I have spent some time on trying to get this to work :-).

As for Tiki5, I would love to use that, but

- is it stable (I just read the ETA for it's stable release was May2010)?

- is the upgrade from Tiki4 smooth or better: how do I upgrade my current Tiki4 install (I couldn't find any documentation here on that so far)

thanks a lot for your help
cheers

Hi rodpacker and welcome to Tiki Community!
as far as upgrades are concerned, read the documentation: Upgrade

It works in the same way as from Tiki3 to Tiki4, for instance.

Test it first, and check your attachments, and files in file galleries, etc. And if (and only if) you get some problem with them, in your test upgrade, then wait for some information to come at that page Upgrade about UTF-8 issues and how to solve them. (the only different thing that I know of related to upgrades from Tiki4 to Tiki5 compared to previous upgrades.

Hi HTC,


thanks a lot or the info. Upgrading could be a great solution as it is still a pretty empty installation I have sitting there. I am liking a lot of the new features.

However, it looks like Tiki5 is still in beta (as of here:http://info.tikiwiki.org/Download?bl=y)

When will Tiki5 stable be released - do u know by any chance?

Also I am on a shared server without root access - I installed Tiki4 through CPanel. Will I be able to upgrade with limited access?

thanks a lot for your help

rodpacker, patch your css by hand, then.
Tiki5 through Cpanel? no idea, but this looks like slooow process.
tiki5 by hand; you can give it a try (many of us are building new sites with Tiki5 already, provided that they don't go live yet, in most cases, until all important bugs are fixed).
But it may very well be that the features that you are interested in for your new site don't have any bug :-)
So you can test your self, installing Tiki5 by hand through ftp, if you have ftp access.
See Installation help to find info on install by ftp, etc.
