7.9.0 - Compatibility with concrete v9 and maintaining compatibility with v7 and v8. New templates for centered tabs and filling width tabs. New styling of rainbow tab templates (they were looking a bit dated in current browsers). Minor styling fixes on most templates. jQuery UI dependencies removed. This update includes changes to MT JavaScript so you will need to clear caches after updating.

7.2.8 - Fix 'Preserve Grid Wrapper' state on entering edit dialog. Show message when quick add option is unavailable due to file system permissions.

7.2.7 - Fix issue with multiple nested levels of ajax loaded tabs.

7.2.6 - Extend implementation to facilitate ajax loading of tab sets within tabs sets. This update includes changes to MT JavaScript so you will need to clear caches after updating.

7.2.5 - Support ajax loading tab sets. Note: Magic Tabs does not include an ajax loader, it is designed to work with other ajax loaders such as Universal Content Puller.

7.2.4 - Kalmoya AJAX Form integration now built in.

7.2.3 - Index classes added to tab body wrappers for convenience of styling tab bodies.

7.1.1 - Fix issue where nested 2 tabs could break the rendering of nested 1 tabs.

7.1 - IMPORTANT - Global Settings have moved to application/config/magic_tabs.php (previously application/config/app.php). If you are upgrading from a site where you have adjusted global configuration settings, you will need to implement these in the new location.

The block edit dialog now provides a direct interface to global settings, so editing config files may not be necessary at all!

On recent concrete5.7.5+ versions, an update to the core grid model and the way blocks are wrapped on full width page types can interfere with the way Magic Tabs are rendered, particularly for vertical templates and nested accordions. Magic Tabs v7.1 adds global settings that can be adjusted to alter the way the grid box model is transformed when Magic Tabs are rendered. See Global Settings in Magic Tabs v7.1+.

7.0.1 - Fix issue with global tab settings when set other than default from within a tab template on c5.7.4+ core.

7.0 - Official release version number for 5.7. Incorporates a fix for asset loading for some templates when not logged in.


Before marketplace approval
