Tabbed content
Hi, I'm new to Perch. So far, so good!
I want to add some tabbed content to my site. I have made a 'tabs' content template with 'tab name' and 'tab content' fields.
I need my names to be pulled into the page separately to the content (in a ul). I can see this being useful for other things so I assume it is doable, I just can't see how.
I wondered if content_custom would help but I don't think it does. It might be I need to use js after the page has loaded but I'd prefer not if I can help it.
Any ideas?
What do you mean by pulled in separately? Are you talking about two fields displaying the same content independently of each other?
No, each field would have unique content. So you'd have a region called Tabs which uses a tabs content template and allows multiple items.
Item 1, Tab name = tab 1, content = content 1
Item 2, Tab name = tab 2, content = content 2
Item 3, Tab name = tab 3, content = content 3
etc.
I want it to display tab 1, tab 2 and tab 3 in a ul.
Then below that content 1, content 2 and content 3 in their own divs.
I hope that makes sense.
What does the HTML you have look like?
The output I want to achieve is something like:
Ok, so you need two templates. One based on this:
That will be your main template. Then create a second based on this:
Use
perch_content_custom()to display the region once with each of the two templates.So I can use 2 templates for 1 region? How do I go about defining which part of the region goes into each template?
One is always the master template used for editing.
You can redisplay that content through as many different versions of the template as you need to.
