How to add tabs to joomla component

mosTabs is no longer available in Joomla 1.5. Use this method instead to add tabbed content to your component or module in Joomla 1.5 native mode.

• Include this line of code before you start your tabs
  
  

  1	jimport ( 'joomla.html.pane');

  
  
  


• Then get the instance for the tabs and assign it to a variable:
  
  

  1	$myTabs = & JPane::getInstance ( 'tabs' );

  
  
  


• Use the code below to define your tabs:
  
  

  1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9   10   11   12   13   14   15   16   17   18   19   20   21   22

  // Start the tabs   echo $myTabs->startPane( "my_tabs" );   // Start the first Tab definition   echo $myTabs->startPanel(JText::_('First Tab'),'tab1_id');   // Add the content for the First Tab here...      // Close the First Tab   echo $myTabs->endPanel();        // Start the Tab2 definition   echo $myTabs->startPanel(JText::_('Second Tab'),'tab2_id');   // Add the content for the Second Tab here...   // Close the Second Tab   echo $myTabs->endPanel();   // Close the tabs   echo $myTabs->endPane();

  
  
  


• An alternative to tabs is the slider. To display your content in sliders just get the instance for 'sliders' instead of 'tabs' as shown in the following line of code:
  
  

  1	$myTabs =& JPane::getInstance( 'sliders' );
