Simple Tabs Shortcodes

Vanlege spm.

Example usage

There are two shortcodes available, below is a simple example of usage:

[tabs]
[tab title="First tab"]The content of the first tab.[/tab]
[tab title="Second tab"]The content of the second  tab.[/tab]
[tab title="Third tab"]The content of the third tab.[/tab]
[/tabs]

This will output the following HTML:

<div class="tabs-container">
    <div class="tabs-nav">
        <ul>
            <li><a href="#first-tab" class="active">First tab</a></li>
            <li><a href="#second-tab">Second tab</a></li>
            <li><a href="#third-tab">Third tab</a></li>
        </ul>
    </div>
    <div class="tabs-content">
        <section id="first-tab" class="tab active">The content of the first tab.</section>
        <section id="second-tab" class="tab">The content of the second tab.</section>
        <section id="third-tab" class="tab">The content of the third tab.</section>
    </div>
</div>

Optionally, you can set a custom ID by adding id="my-id" in tab shortcode.

Example CSS

Here is an example CSS, make the necessary changes if you want to customize the look and feel of tabs.

.tabs-nav {
    margin: 0;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
}
.tabs-nav ul {
    list-style: none;
}
.tabs-nav li {display: inline-block;}
.tabs-nav a {
    display: block;
    padding: 5px 10px;
    border: 1px solid transparent;
    text-decoration: none;
}
.tabs-nav a.active {
    border-color: #ccc;
    border-bottom-color: #fff;
}
section.tab {
    display: none;
    margin-bottom: 15px;
    padding: 15px 0;
}
section.tab.active {display: block;}

Selecting a tab by the URL

You can select default tab by using a hash in the URL – simply add #tab-name at the end of the page URL to select the specific tab. This example URL will select tab with the title / id «something»: http://domain.tld/your-page/#something

Switching to the tab by the link

Tabs can be switched by a normal link, just add a class tab-url to the link. Example:

<a class="tab-url" href="#something">Something</a>
