So upon attempting to install DNNRadTabStrip I reach an error stating: "If you have reached this page it is because the installer needs to gather some more information, before proceeding."

Apparently I need a manifest file, however I know nothing and care to know nothing about manifest files at this point in time as they have not been an issue so far with installing anything.

I compared the files that were in the DNNRadTabStrip zip with the ones in the DNNRadMenu and the same type of files are current in the tab strip zip, so I'm not sure where the manifest file goes anyways.

Thanks for any help.

Now that I look at it, the current version was released in 2010, which may have something to do with it. Are there any other free tab strip controls out there, I don't mind paying for some things, but the basic-ness of a tab strip is not one of the things I am willing to pay for.

In my haste to get tabable content up and going on my site, I overlooked that there is a built in jQuery tab option in DNN6. The documentation here is a little sparse and to someone who does not know how to use javascript (me) it is incomplete information.

The way I got it to work may be incorrect, but it does appear to work this way. If there is a better way, please speak up as I would like to follow good practices.

Anyways, here is how I got it to work:

HTML:

<div class="dnnForm dnnSiteSettings dnnClear" id="TabsID">
<ul class="dnnAdminTabNav dnnClear">
    <li><a href="#ssTab1" target="blank" onclick="return false;">Tab 1</a></li>
    <li><a href="#ssTab2" target="blank" onclick="return false;">Tab 2</a></li>
    <li><a href="#ssTab3" target="blank" onclick="return false;">Tab 2</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="ssTab1">
This is the div for tab 1.
</div> >
<div id="ssTab2">
This is the div for tab 2.
</div>
<div id="ssTab2">
This is the div for tab 2.
</div>

Then in the Manage>Settings>Advanced Settings>Header of the HTML module:

<script>
$(function() {
$( "#TabsID" ).tabs();
});
</script>

The last part here in the HTML module settings is where it feels shady. I am assuming that is unavoidable though as it needs the "#TabsID" to know what to run the jQuery on?

Anyways I would still like to try DNNRadTabs, though I think the built in jQuery option is perfectly acceptable. And again, if I did anything the wrong way I would like to know the right way.

Thanks
