Category Tabs

Hi,

Since Ange is not around I can't ask for his help regarding his Category Tabs tutorial. So I'll ask for some assistance here. Anyways, I used to have the script running in my forum (phpBB3) but all of sudden it stopped working but the weird part that it's still working on my test forum. I can't seem to find what's interfering with it.

Code:

$(function() {
  // automatically detects the version
  var version = $('.bodylinewidth')[0] ? 0 : document.getElementById('wrap') ? 1 : $('div.pun')[0] ? 2 : document.getElementById('ipbwrapper') ? 3 : document.getElementById('fa_edge') ? 4 : 'badapple';
 
  if (version == 'badapple') {
    if (window.console && console.warn) console.warn('The plugin "fa_tabs" is not supported for your forum version.');
    return;
  }
 
  window.fa_tabs = {
    active : my_getcookie('fa_tab_active') || 0, // active tab
    list : [], // category list
    version : version, // forum version
 
    // language settings
    lang : {
      title : 'Select a Category',
      placeholder : 'Category',
      all : 'All'
    },
 
    // selectors
    select : {
      content : !version ? '#content-container td:has(> img[height="5"])' : 'main-content',
      category : ['.forumline:has(.secondarytitle)', '.forabg', '.main:has(.tcr) .main-head', '.borderwrap:has(.index-box)', '.forum-category'][version]
    },
 
    // function for changing the active category
    change : function(index) {
      my_setcookie('fa_tab_active', index); // save the active tab to a cookie
 
      // actions to run if the tab is not "all"
      if (index != 'all') {
        if (fa_tabs.active == 'all') {
          fa_tabs.tab[0].previousSibling.className = '';
          fa_tabs.display('none');
        } else {
          fa_tabs.tab[fa_tabs.active].className = '';
          fa_tabs.list[fa_tabs.active].style.display = 'none';
        }
 
        fa_tabs.tab[index].className = 'fa_tabactif';
        fa_tabs.list[index].style.display = '';
 
        if (fa_tabs.version == 2) {
          if (fa_tabs.active != 'all') fa_tabs.list[fa_tabs.active].nextSibling.style.display = 'none';
          fa_tabs.list[index].nextSibling.style.display = '';
        }
      } else {
        if (fa_tabs.active != 'all') fa_tabs.tab[fa_tabs.active].className = '';
        fa_tabs.tab[0].previousSibling.className = 'fa_tabactif';
        fa_tabs.display('');
      }
 
      fa_tabs.active = index;
    },
 
    // change the display of all categories
    display : function(state) {
      for (var i = 0, j = fa_tabs.list.length; i < j; i++) {
        fa_tabs.list[i].style.display = state;
        if (version == 2) fa_tabs.list[i].nextSibling.style.display = state;
      };
    },
 
    // stop tab scrolling
    stop : function() {
      if (fa_tabs.interval) {
        window.clearInterval(fa_tabs.interval);
        fa_tabs.interval = null;
      }
    },
 
    // scroll tablist
    scroll : function(by, max) {
      if (!fa_tabs.interval) {
        var node = document.getElementById('fa_tablist').firstChild.firstChild;
 
        fa_tabs.interval = window.setInterval(function() {
          var margin = +node.style.marginLeft.replace(/px/, '');
          (by < 0 && margin <= max) || (by > 0 && margin >= max) ? fa_tabs.stop() : node.style.marginLeft = margin + by + 'px';
        }, 1);
      }
    }
 
  };
 
  // startup variables
  var frag = document.createDocumentFragment(),
      container = $('<div id="fa_category_tabs"><h2 id="fa_tabs_title">' + fa_tabs.lang.title + '</h2></div>')[0],

      }

Hello

Did you try to deactivate the rest javascript to check iif a code is causing this conflict?

Good morning!

I installed the script on my forum and it works.

You have quite a few console errors (13) on your forum:



I especially don't like this mistake:

Code:

Uncaught SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list (at (index):2024:1284)

It originates in this place



There's a mistake in the single brackets. If you "create" a string to be added with single quotes - you cannot use them inside the initialized string without escaping.
I paid attention to this particular mistake because they are the ones that often break scripts.

The easiest way to remove the error is to change the use of quotation marks

Code:

" ' onclick="fae_toggle_category(this);'><h2>AF's Contests</h2></div><div id='f61' "

Hi Skouliki, no, I shall try that.

@Razor12345, I've sent you private message with details of the founder account. I cannot find that part of the script anywhere. That was part of category/forum called AF's contests. I've deleted to see if that was the issue any nothing has changed.

Your PM has been received with thanks. Please read our forum rules: ESF General Rules

Answered in the PM what's wrong.

Now work correct:

As always thank you for taking your time and explaining the errors step by step. You can trash this since the error was from another script..

You are welcome!

Topic re-open

------------

At the end of script add this code:

Code:

  $('head').append('<style type="text/css">.inner_tabs a:first-child { display: none; }</style>');

Result:

Thank you, Razor. Works perfect.
