Our add-on heavy week is coming to an end with Tabs Manager, a nice little plugin that will allow you to showcase custom fields as tabs on the listing detail page. Controlling which fields show as tabs is done with a new option added to the create/edit a custom field form. Even though any field type can be set to show as a tab, those that work best are Text Editor and Text Area. One thing worth noting is that the custom fields Tabs Manager plugin won’t work with Directory child themes that have tabless layouts (for example: City Guide). Child themes like Cuisine will work just as well as the parent Directory theme. Order tabs with drag and drop If you have multiple custom fields showing up as tabs inside the detail page, you can control their left-to-right order by drag and drop within the Tevolution ⇨ Custom Fields Setup section. Drag those that should be shown more to the left above those that should be shown more to the right side. Quick add-on recap During the last 10 or so days we’ve released 4 other add-ons for Directory. Here’s a quick list of those add-ons: List Filter – add an AJAX filter widget to search and category pages. Use your own custom fields as filters for the widget. Global Location – introduce a “Global City” to your site on which city filtering is turned off and all listings from the site can be easily found. Category Icons – assign fontawesome icons to your categories or upload a custom image. The icon is shown in all widgets designed to show categories. Header Fields – populate the area below the listing title with custom fields. Use drag and drop to change their order. What’s your opinion on the add-ons released during this time?
