Advanced Multi Tabbed Widget For Blogger – Fully Widgetized!

Click here to Add a Wordpress Style Menu Tabbed Widget
Step#6 has been updated. Repeat that step to get it working just perfect.

multi-tabbed-widget I had published a post on how to add a multi tab widget to your blogger blogs and how to customize it to suit your blog layout some months ago. The only problem with that widget is that it is not fully widgetized i.e you can not add archives, labels, author profile or other blogger official widgets to it unless you have their separate code with you. I just came across a beautiful and a more flexible and advanced tabber widget stylized by Lawny Designs and scripted by Barelyfitz. I have modified lawny’s tutorial and have made some changes to the code so to make it even more simpler to newbie bloggers. You can view this widget hanging on my sidebar.

 

To add this cute multi tab widget to your BlogSpot blogs follow these steps.

  1. Go to Blogger > Layout > Edit HTML
  2. Search For </head>
  3. And paste the code below just above it,

<script type='text/javascript'>
//<![CDATA[
document.write('<style type="text/css">.tabber{display:none;}<\/style>');

//]]>
</script>

 

 

4.  Now search for ]]></b:skin>  and just above it paste this code,

/*---------- Tabber Start-------- */


.tabberlive{
margin:0;
padding:5px;
clear:both;
background:$tbbxbgcolor;
border:1px solid $tbbxbrcolor;
}
.tabbernav {
margin:0;
padding: 3px 0;
border-bottom: 1px solid $tbbxbrcolor;
font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size:12px;
font-weight:bold;
}
.tabbernav li {
list-style:none;
margin:0;
display:inline;
}
.tabbernav li a {
padding:3px 0.5em;
margin-right:1px;
border:1px solid $tbbxbrcolor;
border-bottom:none;
background:$tbbxcolor2;
text-decoration:none;
color:$tbbxcolor1;
}
.tabbernav li a:hover {

background:$tbbxcolor1;
border-color:$tbbxbrcolor;
text-decoration:none;
}
.tabbernav li.tabberactive a,
.tabbernav li.tabberactive a:hover {

.tabberlive .tabbertab {

}
.tabberlive .tabbertab h2,
.tabberlive .tabbertabhide {

padding:0;
}
.tabbertab .widget-content li {
border-bottom:1px solid $tbbxbrcolor;
margin:0 5px;
padding:2px 0 5px 0;
}


/*------- Tabber End--------*/

 

5.  Don’t save your template. Now search for Variable definitions and paste this code with other variable definitions,

<Variable name="tbbxbgcolor" description="Tab box Background Color" type="color" default="#f8f8f8" value="#f8f8f8">
<Variable name="tbbxbrcolor" description="Tab box Border Color" type="color" default="#dcdcdc" value="#dcdcdc">
<Variable name="tbbxcolor1" description="Tab box Color 1" type="color" default="#ffffff" value="#ffffff">
<Variable name="tbbxcolor2" description="Tab box Color 2" type="color" default="#5588aa" value="#5588aa">

 

If you can’t find Variable definitions  then search for #navbar-iframe and paste this code below #navbar-iframe { Some text here }

/* Variable definitions
   ====================

<Variable name="tbbxbgcolor" description="Tab box Background Color" type="color" default="#f8f8f8" value="#f8f8f8">
<Variable name="tbbxbrcolor" description="Tab box Border Color" type="color" default="#dcdcdc" value="#dcdcdc">
<Variable name="tbbxcolor1" description="Tab box Color 1" type="color" default="#ffffff" value="#ffffff">
<Variable name="tbbxcolor2" description="Tab box Color 2" type="color" default="#5588aa" value="#5588aa">

*/

 

UPDATED PART:

6.   Now the final part. Search for <div id='sidebar-wrapper'> and paste this code just below it,

<div style='clear:both;'/>

<div class='tabber'>
<b:section class='tabbertab' id='tab1' maxwidgets='1'/>
<b:section class='tabbertab' id='tab2' maxwidgets='1'/>
<b:section class='tabbertab' id='tab3' maxwidgets='1'/>
<b:section class='tabbertab' id='tab4' maxwidgets='1'/>

</div>

 

7. Finally save your template and visit Layout > Page Elements to start adding widgets to the tabs! It will look something like this,

MULTI-TABBED-WIDGET

The widgets are arranged number wise. Starting from Tab-1 and ending at Tab-4. To add a gadget/widget to any tab simply click the link Add a Gadget and start adding whatever you want.

8. Finally view your template to see it hanging!:)

Customization Guide To Multi Tab Widget

Here we will discuss how to change the Look and position of this multi tabbed widget.

Changing Position:

To shift this tabber widget to the bottom section of your sidebar rather at the extreme top, do this,

  • Paste the code in Step#6 just above </div> and not just below <div id='sidebar-wrapper'> As shown in the image below,

Shift-position-of-tabber

  • Save your template and go to Layout > Page Elements  to see if it has shifted to the bottom.

Changing Look and Feel:

  • The background colours of the widget can be changed by editing the code in step#5. I am rewriting the code here with some description.

<Variable name="tbbxbgcolor" description="Tab box Background Color" type="color" default="#f8f8f8" value="#f8f8f8">


<Variable name="tbbxbrcolor" description="Tab box Border Color" type="color" default="#dcdcdc" value="#dcdcdc">


<Variable name="tbbxcolor1" description="Tab box Color 1" type="color" default="#ffffff" value="#ffffff">


<Variable name="tbbxcolor2" description="Tab box Color 2" type="color" default="#289728" value="#289728">

 

This code has four main sections amongst which the sections tbbxcolor1: and  tbbxcolor2: are the most important. I will describe each one in detail.

Important Sections:

tbbxcolor1: This is an important section. It defines the background colour of this multi tab widget and also the colour on mouse hover. The default colour is white i.e #ffffff

tbbxcolor2: This refers to the background colour of the tabs and the text inside the tabs. the default colour is green. You can change the value #289728 to a different colour value using our color chart

Change these only if you wish:

tbbxbgcolor: This section refers to the background colour of the tab box. By default the colour is grey. If you wish to change it to a different colour simply change the hexadecimal colour value #f8f8f8 to something different using our Color Chart

tbbxbrcolor: This refers to the border line color across the tabs and the box.

That’s All!

I hope this widget will help a lot in giving a clean and neat touch to your blogs. Any question is welcomed :>

    Any further help is welcomed. The widgets I share are often used on my blog but they work pretty fine.


    Image sprites tecnique have been used by us in this post http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2009/12/add-css-based-social-bookmarking-widget.html

    Sreejesh but this technique can not be applied in most cases because managing the alignments are a bit difficult. One needs to be pretty good in CSS to use them.

    I guess I am a bit impatient. Created your code in just 5 minutes.
    Copy paste the following code in your HTML/JavaScript widget,

    height:48px;
    width:35px;
    padding:0 8px;

    .mbt-bookmark a.orkut {
    background-position:-99px 0px;
    }
    .mbt-bookmark a.orkut:hover {
    background-position:-99px -48px;
    }
    .mbt-bookmark a.twitter {
    background-position:-48px 0px;

    .mbt-bookmark a.twitter:hover {
    background-position:-48px -48px;

  20. Mohd,

    Can you tell me how to adjust the height of the tabs AND allow for a title (per tab) that is two lines such as:
    Recent
    Post

    Thanks..

    ReplyDelete
  21. Mohd,

    One more thing. With these tabs at the top of my right hand sidebar, it is running into my category header- see my blog:
    http://thesavvyguy.blogspot.com/
    Can you tell me how to drop it a bit.
    Second, I seem to be getting an error since adding the above code, right when this multi-tab widget is loading- any suggestions?

    Thanks so much for all of your help..

    ReplyDelete
  22. @Savvy Guy

    You can increase the height by adding height="15px" to .tabbernav {

    But then this will look cluttered.

    For adding a space between tabs find and edit this,

    .tabbernav li {
    list-style:none;
    margin:0;
    display:inline;
    }

    Chnage margin:0; to margin:5px 0; 5px will add a space of 5px between the tabs at top and bottom. Try reducing or increasing the value 5px to suit your preferences.

    Suggestion:- Summarize your titles as Comments , Posts Archive Featured

    The widget will load after all blog content have loaded. So it normal. You can Add it a bit lower. Just like mine so that readers may not observe it while loading.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Mohd,

    Thanks for all of the suggestions. Very helpful. Two more things and I should be good to go. 1.) The line on the left boarder inside the main border won't show up for me- any suggestions? 2.) How do I move the widget down a spot or two, so it doesn't run into my menu OR how can I add a space between it and the grey menu?

    Thanks again....

    1. I can see both borders. May be you have troubleshooted your self. Use a different browser to see it.

    2. To shift the widget try reading the last of the tutorial carefully. I can not explain better than that :D

    An easy way to give a gap between this widget and other widgets in your sidebar is to remove the out border from the widget and give the out background the same colour as that of your blog. To do that find and edit this,


    .tabberlive{
    margin:0;
    padding:5px;
    clear:both;
    background:$tbbxbgcolor;
    border:1px solid $tbbxbrcolor;

    }

    To remove the border delete the border line i.e border:1px solid $tbbxbrcolor; and to change the background color replace background:$tbbxbgcolor; with this background:#DFE3E6 Use my color code generator for changing colors .


    Hope that would be helpful :>

  30. Hi there. Is there a way to make tabber load while the whole page is loading and not when the page has fully loaded? I'm using it on my blog (techgr.com) and it needs some seconds more the page has fully load to display tabber. Can we make tabber load while the page loads and not at the end?

    Thanks in advance and congrats on a great Blogger hack!

    And paste the code just below it.
    If you could not find this code then share your blog URL.


    @DJDB
    Bro unfortunately at present I haven't find any way out. The best would be to place the widget at 1/2 portion of your blog so that users may be able to see it appearing while they crawl to the bottom.

  33. I have two questions...

    First, is it possible to make any part of this transparent, or have varying % of transparency, rather than having a solid/opaque background color?

    Second, I changed the position so that my widget is positioned at the bottom of my page. When I click on a tab it opens below the viewing area of my screen. I have to scroll down in order to see its contents. It does not automatically push the page up as it opens, to display the whole tab. Is this how it is supposed to work, or is mine not working properly?

    ReplyDelete
  34. @Mary

    Great going mary! :p

    @Anonymous

    At present we can only add opacity effect to backgrounds in CSS and I am sure the transparency effect will surely be added in new versions of CSS3 or 4 but unfortunately this effect is not possible with present available Styles on current versions of browsers.

    For your second answer I will simply say that if your multi tab is working just the way it is working on my blog then nothing is strange on your side :>

  35. Hey Mohd!

    Thank you for all your great tutorials, I've applied quite a few to my mommy blog www.amormaternal.com

    I have a test blog, for trying out new widgets, and figuring them out properly before installing them on my actual site. I tested this multi-tabber there, and have encountered a problem: after having followed all the steps, I go to layout-> page elements, and it ALWAYS says "ready with errors" (in my browser), even after reloading a dozen times. Also when I try to click on the numbers to include widgets in each tab, it doesn't do anything (and my browser says "javascript void" in the lower left corner). I've restored the old template, and tried to install it again from scratch in case I made a copy/paste mistake, and the same happened again... What could I be doing wrong?

    This is the url of my test blog: http://loumasaderbujana.blogspot.com/ Please tell me what I can do to make the tabber work, it would save a lot of space on my mommy blog, I don't like blogs with 'forever scrolldowns', and have found a tabber to reduce page length...

    Thanks, kind regards!

    Dear you have successfully added the widget but it is appearing below your top search box because you have mis-positioned it. Do this now,

    1. Search for this code in your template,
    <div class='sidebar section' id='sidebar-right'>

    2. And then paste the code in step#6 just below it.
    3. That's it.

    You have advised for 4 or 5 tabs suppose i have 12 - 15 tabs then everything get jumbbled. i cant check which tab is showing me which info. i am using the first code!!!!

    Can you how to give atleast some gap in two rows of tab or focus/highlight on the selected tab

    Thanks in advance.

    ReplyDelete
  52. @Michelle Stanley
    Do you really feel the need? :>


    @Anonymous

    Dear 12-15 tabs would of course look bulky and complex! Do you think you really need 12 tabs? Brother the widget is a tabber widget and it is used only to give space to some important sections/widgets of a blog. Usually we dont add more than 5 tabs. If you need 12 tabs then I believe you should go for a navigation menu instead. I have written detailed posts on vertical and horizontal navigation menus.

    I hope you got the point! :>

  54. This is totally brilliant and easy to install ~ THANKYOU :D
    Just two things:-
    1/ your variable defintions need a forward / at the end of each one, before the > (well at least with the newest blogger they do)

    2/ Is there any way to have the text inside the tabs a different colour to the tab background colour. I would like to have the whole thing transparent apart from the tab-text. Alternatively I don't mind having some colour on the tab itself and then having the text another colour, but I'd like to keep the backgrounds transparent. Hard to explain! Take a look at my blog and see how the tabber looks just now. I'd like to be able to see the text in the tabs before hovering, but I can't work it out. Do I just need another 'variable definition' ?
    My blog address is; www.frogacademy.blogspot.com

    And again ~ thankyou SO much :D!!

    ReplyDelete
  55. @Caroline

    I am glad it worked for you too. :) Here are my suggestions:

    1. I will look into this. Thanks for suggesting mam!

    2. Well to change and edit colours simply edit the colour codes inside the code in step#5. I visited your blog and found that the reason you want the tab to be transparent is so that it could match with your background colour. Well unfortunately this can not be achieved with the present styling.

    A short advise: If you remove your background image the load time will increase by 30%! :> The choice is upto you.

    I hope the answer would be helpful. Feel free to ask if you have any other query. :)

  56. Thanks for your great widget. I installed your widget.
    I need your help. How can I change text font and size. Because it looks oversized. Especially in the 2,3 tab

    ReplyDelete
  57. @Help

    Dear find and edit this code,

    .tabbernav {
    margin:0;
    padding: 3px 0;
    border-bottom: 1px solid $tbbxbrcolor;
    font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
    font-size:12px;
    font-weight:bold;
    }

    you can reduce the value from 12px to anything you prefer.
    Hope this was the answer of your question :>

    Any help would be appreciated.

  63. @Lluis

    You did everything correct so no worries! Just click on the number and then on add a gadget to add a new widget to that tab. The tabs are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 so when you click on a particular number then you are inside that tab. Hope that was clear. :>

    ReplyDelete
  64. Thanks Mohammad,

    The multi-tab widget works fine, but what it is strange is that the numbers 1,2,3,4 doesn't appear in the page elements only the four add a gadget boxes. May be I missed something but the widget it is working as you can see here:

  72. I did not remove the widget, I did not change a thing. When Blogger "updated" to a new form of doing templates, my widget stopped working. I did not even use the new stuff Blogger had put in, and I went through everything to make sure I still had all of the same HTML that you have here, and nothing has been changed.

    ReplyDelete
  73. @Rachel

    pal the only problem that I observed is that now the multi tab is rather aligned vertically due to some bug which is making it difficult to click and edit individual tabs. Blogger often play here and there and this makes our job difficult. I am looking to figure some way to solve this problem. Thanks for informing.

    Dude where are you pasting the code? Paste it just under
    /* Variable definitions

    If it still didn't worked then leave variable definitions and paste the following CSS code instead,

    /*--------Tabber----------- */
    .tabberlive{
    margin:0;
    padding:5px;
    clear:both;
    background:#f8f8f8;
    border:1px solid #DDD;
    }
    .tabbernav {

    padding: 3px 0;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
    font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;

    .tabbernav li a {
    padding:3px 0.5em;
    margin-right:1px;

    border-bottom:none;

    text-decoration:none;
    color:#ffffff;
    }
    .tabbernav li a:hover {

    background:#ffffff;
    border:1px solid #DDD;
    text-decoration:none;
    }
    .tabbernav li.tabberactive a,
    .tabbernav li.tabberactive a:hover {
    background:#ffffff;
    color:#0084ce;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #ffffff;
    }
    .tabberlive .tabbertab {
    padding:5px;
    border:1px solid #DDD;
    border-top:0;
    background:#ffffff;
    }
    .tabberlive .tabbertab h2,
    .tabberlive .tabbertabhide {
    display:none;
    }
    .tabbertab .widget-content ul{
    list-style:none;
    margin:0 0 10px 0;
    padding:0;
    }
    .tabbertab .widget-content li {
    border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;
    margin:0 5px;
    padding:2px 0 5px 0;
    }


    If you use the above CSS code then you don't need to insert variable definitions. Let me know.

  109. Hi! I am trying to change the font size within the part called, About" so it matches the rest of my nursing blog. Changing font-size:12px; only changes the font size for the tabbed widget titles.

    You can see this at my test blog:

    http://myaussietest.blogspot.com/

    Also because my sidebars are so narrow is there a way to drop the tabbed widget to the bottom of my blog.

  112. Hi Mohammad,
    thanks for this amazing tweak. I've just tried it on my testblog and it worked like a charm.
    I installed it on the main section, looks great both at the end and at the beginning.
    I need it on just certain pages, where I've hidden the main widget (Blog1) and I have only widgets as content.
    My question is: is it possible to show this tabbed widget only on certain pages, just like we do with individual widgets?
    Thanks in advance.

    ReplyDelete
  113. Sorry Mohammad, that from before was a stupid question; once hidden, a widget stays hidden.
    I installed it on a designer template, at first I couldn't save it "page skin not well formed", it just needed a trailing slash at the closing tag of the variables.

    It looks acceptable on my archive page where I wanted it but I have an ugly box on my other pages after the posts(without the widgets). I could blend the box with the background but the tabs are visible too.
    I know it has nothing to do with this code, it is not made to be hidden occasionally. The problem is with my template but I don't think I can fix it without your help, which I would appreciate very much.
    This is the blog in question, if you could look at it: http://macroflower-saturday.blogspot.com and the tabbed widget it on the archive page (from the main menu).

  115. Add these above if you are using it:

    .tabbertab .widget {
    margin: 0;
    }

  119. Hey Mohammad,
    I like your website very much.

    I used this widget before and it work smoothly.
    However, recently I changed my blog template with the blogger template designer (launghed by Blogger) and found that I had no idae about how to add this widget again.

    Step 1~5 are ok. But I can't find "div id='sidebar-wrapper'" and there is no code like "div class='sidebar section' id='sidebar-right-1'".

    Thanks for your help.

    Best,
    Jack

  124. is it possible to add this multi-tab widget to page or post ?

    ReplyDelete
  125. I am afraid no dear because the widget section tags can not be embedded inside the body of the posts. Hope this was clear :)

  126. The best tutorial on the web. I've visited 8 sites ranked higher than you and the directions are terrible and the widget, just as bad. You have helped me tremendously. Wonderful job!

  132. Thank you so much!! This Widget is awesome and I've been looking for ever since I saw it on another blog.

    I have one problem and I hope you can help me... I have it testing on my test blog http://mrsvtestblog6.blogspot.com/ and as you can see I'd love to have a space between this multi-cool Widget and the next one.. I tried changing the paddings but somehow I didn't do it right.

    Would be AWESOME if you could help me with this!!!

    (P.S.: I also added the three Column footer section and I love it! You are incredible thanks so much for sharing all this)

  135. Apologies Apologies for the late reply. Had exams! :(

    @Dany

    Thanks for all the feedback. Where exactly do you want to add space? Please explain a bit I checked your test blog and it looks just ok.

    @Jeet

    The other widegt it working just fine on your blog so where exactly you facing problem. Did you followed step# 6 correctly?

    @Rita

    yes sure you can. simply replace the code in step#6 with this,

    <div style='clear:both;'/>

    <div class='tabber'>
    <b:section class='tabbertab' id='tab1' maxwidgets='1'/>
    <b:section class='tabbertab' id='tab2' maxwidgets='1'/>
    <b:section class='tabbertab' id='tab3' maxwidgets='1'/>
    <b:section class='tabbertab' id='tab4' maxwidgets='1'/>
    <b:section class='tabbertab' id='tab5' maxwidgets='1'/>
    </div>

  136. Hi Mohammad

    Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. I have 2 questions I was hoping you can help me with. Please see my testing page eycslidertest.blogspot.com

    1) How do I get rid of the "inner box" that holds the tab content? How do I increase the width of the multitab "outer box"?

    2) Is there a way to have the multitab gadget in between other gadgets?

    ie:
    Gadget
    Multitab
    Gadget

    Thanks for your help!

    ReplyDelete
  137. @PRNom

    You are welcomed dude!

    1) Replace

    .tabberlive .tabbertab {
    padding:5px;
    border:1px solid $tbbxbrcolor;
    border-top:0;
    background:$tbbxcolor1;
    }

    with this

    .tabberlive .tabbertab {
    padding:5px;
    border:0px solid $tbbxbrcolor;
    border-top:0;
    background:$tbbxcolor1;
    }

    2) We are already adding it inside a HTML/JavaScript widget and further insertion is not supported by Blogger.

    I hope this helps :>

  138. Mohammad,

    Thanks for the tutorial. I am having two problems:
    1 - I couldn't find the code div id='sidebar-wrapper' but found a position where I thought it should fit and entered your code there. Not sure if this was correct?
    2 - My major problem is that in the layout view my 'tabs' are appearing on the right side with my posts; however, I would like for the tab widgets to appear on the top of my left column. Could you advise where to place the code so that this will change.

    Thank you!

  143. This is for those who are struggling with <div id='sidebar-wrapper'> code

    Even I struggled with this nearly 3 hours....i didnt get code <div id='sidebar-wrapper'> in my blog,,At Last i concluded that that was not there in my blogger template.Then <div id='sidebar'> and <div id='lowerbar-wrapper'> both are there.

    I installed Step#6 After <div id='sidebar'> and it is working fine on my blog
    http://mobilegk.blogspot.com/
    So finally my advice is, If <div id='sidebar-wrapper'> is not there, then search for <div id='sidebar'> and paste the code after that........

  157. Why cant you create these widgets with just one click "add to blog" type easy setup ? I have these spider web like codes to paste and search and paste it on template code. Most of them wont work if the template is customized for any other widgets or features or that.

  175. The tabs suddenly stopped working. It appears how it is supposed to but when you click on the link for tabs 2, 3, 4 it just reloads the page. Hovering over the link shows javascript:void(null); in the bottom left of the browser. So something is wrong with the java in the coding because I haven't touched the original coding. I even went so far as to redo the coding in case I had.

    ReplyDelete
  176. Awesome !!, it works at my blog ( altcoincrypto.me ), but it's not show at my post page and all of the static page. Kindly help how to make it show at all of my page and blog post, etc. Thanks and warm regards
