NodeOne talks Drupal: tabs and menus

Menu tabs are neat ways of extending the standard menu items on a Drupal site. Unfortunately, it is not always obvious how to create your own tabs. But never fear! Here's a brief screencast showing you how to build menu tabs and default menu tabs in Views (though it could also be use in for example Panels).

DISCLAIMER: Every Wednesday (or so) someone at NodeOne makes an unprestigious presentation about something related to Drupal. The presentation is mainly for internal use, but we have decided to share recordings of the presentations to anyone interested. They are shared as-is – there screencast is uncut, sometimes interrupted, can contain noises and bad sound capture. They can also contain useful information about Drupal.

Thanks, that got me on the path!

hmm, so how could i get a sub-tab to be the default tab of the top-tabs?
seems there's no direct way for that?

PS:
i Found this only after the "taming the beast", where the default-menu-tab was not so well explained, because on user-pages it is already there.

No, that's kind of tricky. Creating sub-tabs is pretty straight forward, but there is no option for creating a default tab whose parent menu item <em>also</em> is a default tab. I think it should be possible by creating the default option as a clone of the view display – also being a default tab. It is a workaround, but should work.

Good luck!
