Link to specific tab in wordpress layout? - wordpress

I have created a layout in Wordpress with a plug-in called builder. I then have a page that uses this layout. The layout contains a area with tabs.
When the user clicks on a link in my main menu he is taken to this page with the first tab open. Can I change the link to take him to the second tab instead?
Actually the menu looks like this
About us
-Overview
-History
-Contact
If the user clicks on about us or overview I want him to go to the first tab.

I guess you must create something with an HTML anchor OR
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#tabs #2nditemid').click();
});
OR
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#tabs li').hide();
$('#tabs li.2nditemid').show();
});
This may vary a bit but may lead you somewhere
this must be specific only to where you have the tabs... so best is to create a page theme only for this specific page to avoid extra jquery in all pages

How do you link to a place in another page without any styling issues?

I have a 'Meet Our Team' section on my home page and I want to be able to click a menu button 'Meet Our Team' and be directed there, even if I click it from another page.
My problem is that if I use #meet_our_team as the URL, the link doesn't work from another page. However, if I use a relative or absolute path plus '#meet_our_team' (e.g. home/#meet_our_team), the functionality works but it becomes styled like the 'Home' button when on the home page (i.e. the button looks pressed).
This is because the CSS class 'current-menu-item' is applied to the list element.
Is there a way I can have a working button that also styles correctly? I assume if I can suppress aria-current, it would work but I don't know if that is possible.
It was a simple enough fix. Simply add the below to Additional CSS. On my first attempt, I didn't specify 'a' and so it didn't work
#menu-item-1745 a {
color: #5a5a5a;
}

Connecting default theme menu to one-page sections dynamically

Connected to this question: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/300387/default-menu-items-for-custom-theme-but-easily-delete-able-customize-able-by-u
So, using this bootstrap template as an example again: https://blackrockdigital.github.io/startbootstrap-creative/
the menu items would be connected to the sections so when clicked on they are scrolled to. However, how would I dynamically link in a ux/ui friendly way the menu items to each respective section so that when user goes to change an item or menu they would link back to that section?
In other words, I would have a default easily change-able menu and menu items come with the theme. However, how would I go about making it easy for the user to connect a different menu item to the same section? And how would I dynamically connect a menu item to said section?
Assuming your theme uses the native WordPress menu page for building custom menus for your respective website, this is relatively easy. In order for this to work properly, there will need to be some custom JS added to your page to handle scrolling down to a given section.
Sections themselves will need to also have a unique identifier, so the JS provided can actually scroll to the given section. Here is an example on how to accomplish this:
We will start by creating and editing a WordPress menu. Be sure to set up the links from the menu items so they will work with the upcoming anchor scroll-ability. These url's MUST match the ID of the section on the front-end you are wishing to scroll to.
We now can utilize jQuery to trigger a click function, which will scroll the user down to the respective section on the page. Here's an example of a function you can use. Remember, some formatting of the function will be required as you need to make sure the parent wrapper of your menu has the ID which the function is looking for. Here's the function:
$('#navigation a').on('click', function (e) {
//Stop page from doing default stuff
e.preventDefault();
//Get content panel ID from clicked element
var contentPanelId = $(this).attr("href");
//Animate to clicked element
$('html, body').stop().animate({
scrollTop: $(contentPanelId).offset().top
}, 900, 'swing', function () {
window.location.hash = target;
});
});
Now, to output the menu inside a template, we will go ahead and use the wp_nav_menu() function: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_nav_menu/ . Be sure to wrap the use of this function around the a parent DIV with an ID matching what's being called inside your JS function (in this example, the ID is "navigation"). Here's an example of the expected markup (remember, I've named my menu menu-test in the back-end):
<header id="navigation" class="site-header" role="banner">
<?php wp_nav_menu( array('menu' => 'menu-test' ) ); ?>
</header><!-- #masthead -->
That should be it! Obviously additional styles are going to be required to lay out the menu however you'd like it to appear on your page. The most important to remember for this concept is that the markup elements' ID's MUST match the hash'ed out URL of the menu item. If there's no div on page with respective ID, the JavaScript will have no way of knowing what element to scroll to.
Here is a live example of the menu functioning the way you want it to on my personal portfolio.

Disabling Table of Contents links in Qualtrics

I'm trying to customize a survey I'm building on Qualtrics so that certain items in the Table of Contents are disabled. Basically I want you to be able to use the TOC to navigate to previous pages, but not to be able to click on subsequent pages. This is not something I can customize just using the Qualtrics menu.
I'm trying to add Javascript to each block to enable this feature, but can't get it to work. I looked into the html elements on my page and under a div labeled "ToC Sidebar", each element of my ToC is there with a unique id (e.g. "FL_34"), and there's an 'onclick' function under this element to go to link's page. I just want to set this to false. Apologies if this is obvious, I'm new to Qualtrics and Javascript.
Here's what I have right now, any thoughts?
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
$("FL_34").onclick = false;
});
That's not the correct way to disable the onclick. What you would do is use: $("FL_34").removeAttribute("onclick");
However, you really don't want to it do that way at all because you don't want to worry about the specific id's, you don't want to display links that don't work, and you don't want to add a script to every page. Instead add this script that hides all the incomplete blocks to the header (Look&Feel/Advanced/Header(edit)/Source):
<script type="text/javascript">
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
if($('Toc')) {
$('Toc').select('.Incomplete').invoke('hide');
}
});
</script>
For this to work, you have to set Page Transition to "none".

Drupal: views display as a block; putting inside an html tab

Drupal 6.28:
I'm re-theming a particular section of a site and the new design called for five pages to be displayed as five tabs on one page with the appropriate one shown when either clicking on the tab itself or in an expanded menu to the left.
I created all that in html and jquery so that I could deep-link the tabs, ie... someone can click on any menu link and hit the page with the appropriate tab open instead of having to go to the master page and then click the appropriate tab. (using location.hash)
This is all working fine, but the last tab is to house content that currently is a view set as a block.
What is the best way to pull that view/block into the html div I have set aside for that specific content?
I have used this great snippet before:
<?php
$block = module_invoke('block', 'block', 'view', '15');
print $block['content'];
?>
which allows one to place any block anywhere, but with a view with a display set as a block, I'm not having any luck invoking that view. Also, I'd had to have to use "php" instead of 'full html' on the node since it's just a snippet but as it's not currently working, it probably doesn't matter.
so, I'm trying to figure out how to have something like this:
<!-- all the other tabs content-->
<div id="fifthTab">
all the content from the view which is set to 'display like a block'
</div>
I'm fairly new to Drupal and not even sure if I create a page display how I would call that data anyway.
So my html structure is:
MAIN PAGE LINK
-sub link/tab 1/default
-sub link/tab 2
-sub link/tab3
-sub link/tab4
-sub link/tab5
So if someone either clicks on on the sub link/tab 5 in the left nav or clicks on the actual tab 5 or enters the url xxx/#tab5, the appropriate tab is show, the rest hidden. That's all working great, I just cant get the view content to show in that tab5.
so a page template based on the url is the easiest. The variable $content is just placed in the last tab and all other html content for that specific page is just put in the template.
At least this way, as docs are added, it's still dynamic and the static info is easy to edit if needed.
Just in case something similar comes up for someone else.

How can I use jQuery tabs for navigation in my ASP.NET MVC app?

I'm creating a new application using ASP.NET MVC.
I'd like to use a series of jQuery tabs at the top of my window to allow the user to access the various modules of the application.
I want to put the tabs in my shared layout view so that I don't replicate them throughout the app.
I'm running into two conflicting issues that I can't seem to find a coherent solution for:
When I click on a tab, I'd like the whole window to navigate to that page, rather than just loading the content into a div. I'm doing this to allow for bookmarking of a particular module. (I'd like the address bar to contain the URL of the current content, rather than just a "main page" URL.)
Currently when I call $("#tabs").tabs(); jQuery creates a div for each of my tabs and attempts to load the content of my href into the div. That ends up creating a copy of the page I'm on nested within itself.
Here are my tab definitions (from the default layout page):
<section class="tabs">
<div id="tabs">
<ul>
<li>Instructions</li>
<li>Questions</li>
<li>Finish</li>
<li>FAQ</li>
</ul>
</div>
</section>
And here's the script I'm using to set them up:
function SetupTabs(sel) {
$("#tabs").tabs();
$("#tabs").tabs("select", sel); // Selects the tab
$('#tabs').tabs({
select: function (event, ui) {
location.href = ui.tab.rel;
}
});
}
This actually gets my page navigating correctly, but nests the pages within themselves (issue #2 above). If I re-arrange it so that I have a main page, and load the content from the tabs using partial views, then I don't have a usable URL in the address bar (issue #1 above).
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I know this isn't the design paradigm for the jQuery tabs, but we're using them elsewhere in the app and we use a lot of jQuery UI-themed elements, so I'd like to stick with them for this element, too, if I can make it work.
Thanks
Since you want each tab click to act as navigation, you may want to consider not using the JQueryUI Tabs, instead use a <ul> styled to look like tabs with the click events set to navigate to the pages you'd like.
