I am playing around with tabnav plugin
http://blog.seesaw.it/articles/2006/07/23/the-easiest-way-to-add-tabbed-navigation-to-your-rails-app
The methodology of this plugin has a separate model and controller for
each level of tabs (and I am planning on nesting the tabs). This makes
it impossible to use a standard instance variable - for example...
clients_tabnav model sets the tabs in this fashion...
class ClientsTabnav < Tabnav::Base
include Reloadable;
add_tab do
named ''General Info''
links_to :controller => ''clients'', :action =>
''edit_general_info''
''edit_general_info''
end
add_tab do
named ''Personal Info''
links_to :controller => ''clients'', :action =>
''edit_personal_info''
''edit_personal_info''
end
and if I were to add '':id => @client.id to the links_to line,
@client.id
means nothing to this controller but it obviously works in the same view
that is rendered from one of those ''actions'' above. I can push
the value
of @client.id into the session hash but I can see that is going to get
ugly real quick so I''m wondering if there is a way I can link the
ClientsTabnav Class into the Clients Class so that the @client instance
variable works?

I found them mentioning "A sample of the new code you can write is: class PostsTabnav < Tabnav::Base add_tab do named ''Posts list'' links_to proc { hash_for_posts_path } end add_tab do named ''New post'' links_to proc { hash_for_new_post_path } end add_tab do named proc{ "Show: " + @post.title } links_to proc{ hash_for_post_path(:id => @post.id) } show_if proc{ !@post.nil? && !@post.id.nil? } end : :" Would that help?
