Hi all, I''m using the tabnav plugin for a community project and I think it is quite comfortable to use. But, when I have many tabbed screens in my app, I have to generate many corresponding xyz_tabnav.rb models. Now for each of these models there seems to be one template xyz_tybnav.rhtml which contains the style for the corresponding tabnav. In my app ALL tabbed screens will have the SAME style (as I would assume for most apps in general). Does it mean that I have to maintain many of these style files for all the tabbed screens redundantly? Or can I consolidate the one style for all tabbed screens?

I modified the ''def tabnav tabnav_sym method'' from
tabnav''s
application_helper_extension.rb to check the tabnav_sym to determine
the object being rendered. Based on that information, I select the
partial to use for the rendering. I do a bit of code in the
application.rhtml layout using @first_render or getting the controller
name directly to select the tabnav to display and pass that to the
start tabnav tag.
I now have two partials (two nested tab styles) that replace what
would have been over 15 tabnav partials for my application. I don''t
know if this will work with the newer versions, but it solved my
problem.
Example with a nested tabnav:
app/views/layouts/application.rhtml:
<%= render_partial ''common/header'' -%>
<%= start_tabnav :main -%>
<%
case @first_render
when /^admin/
tabnav_set = :admin
when /^home/
tabnav_set = :home
end %>
<%= start_tabnav tabnav_set -%>
<!-- start content -->
<%= yield -%>
<%= end_tabnav -%>
<!-- end content -->
<%= end_tabnav -%>
<%= render_partial ''common/footer'' -%>
tabnav application_helper.rb:
# Selects the correct template to use for rendering the selected
# tabnav object.
def tabnav tabnav_sym
# Set the name of the template
if tabnav_sym.id2name == ''main''
tabnav_template = ''main''
else
tabnav_template = ''secondary''
end
# Render the tabnav partial
result = capture do
render :partial => "tabnav/#{tabnav_template}_tabnav",
:locals => { :tabs => tabnav_sym.to_tabnav.tabs }
end
result
end

Sounds good. Another solution could be to change the tabnav renderer in a way that not the tabnav class name is used to generate the style name but that a style name could be set via a method "set_style" in the tabnav class definition (like "add_tab").

You can specify the Tabnav''s class prefix with:
class BasicTabnav < Tabnav::Base
html_options :class => ''inner_tabnav''
add_tab
...
end
end
This overrides the default class naming, so you can share the same style
for every Tabnav. Then I''d remove the partials and move my CSS code
inside the main .css file.
