[rz] Tab Menu with Layers (Tabbed Layers) v1.1.0.0

This lightweight extension allows you to manage layers with the standard Tab Menu object (also compatible with: Navigation Bar, Slide Menu, CSS Menu and Text Menu).
Of course, you can do the "same" with the jQuery Tabs or with the same standard Tab Menu objects.

jQuery Tabs: You can't have different themes. Unless you put each one in individual subpages and embed them in an InlineFrame...
Tab Menu: You can't manage layers, only pages. You can simulate this using embedded subpages in InlineFrames...

Now, you:
can have the light and powerful Tab Menu object managing layers instead of pages, don't need subpages - and implement tricks to prevent to be opened as standalone ones, can have as many Tab Menus as you need in the same page and with different schemes!

Sample project file included.

How to use?

1. Design each layer as you usually do.
2. Drag and drop a Tab Menu object.
3. Open the Tab Menu properties dialog.
4. For each item, add its layer id. Yes, instead of link to another page, simply type in the layer id!
- link to -> website
- Page -> MyFirstLayer / MySecondLayer / etc
5. Drag and drop this extension and enter the Tab Menu object id.

That's all.
Enjoy!

It seems you can read minds [RZ] this is EXACTLY what I have been looking for

I was inspired by your single page site and have created one of my own (not finished) I am going to give it away here on the forum but have some small things to add yet

Thanks again

P.S had to remove all the old extensions from my documents/WYSIWYG/system etc and reinstall them for the new 8.5 beta to work (I might have had older versions residing there tbh ?)

thank you for your feedback fx3d!

which language you need?
