Adding more tabs

Milos,

Thank you for all the support provided for this great product.
I desperately need to have 7 tabs, I would be grateful if you could provide me with a solution that will do this.

Regards,

Mike

I can't describe this in details, but you need to edit mod_hot_newsflash.xml and mod_hot_newsflash.php.

1. Add another two groups of content elements in the bottom of mod_hot_newsflash.xml and add 6 and 7 options for tabNumber drop-down element (I gave you example for 6)

2. In mod_hot_newsflash.php, change $loop <= 5 to $loop <= 7 everywhere.

I believe that's all.

Excellent excellent! Works really well thank you so much for your the speed of your response and help.

Thank you.

Mike

Hi This is realy nice.

And to make it complete, also put in the mod_hot_newsflash.xml from line 41:

<option value="1">1</option>.....
<option value="1">6</option>

With this also the mod adminside is complete.

Nice day!

Hi,

Could it be that this code has been changed from 2 years ago? I tried copying the code into file mod_hot_newsflash.xml with no success. Since the suggested code is different from existing code in my file, I copied two more groups into file using same structure. Below you can see original article 5 and the new article 6 and article 7.



I also added tab numbers 6 & 7 to the xml file



as well as changing out the 5's for 7's in the php file.



Now I can see the articles perfectly on admin side, but i still only see original 5 articles on front end.



Can you see what I have done wrong? Sending links via moderator. Thanks for help
