Tabbed NavBar component
I'm needing to develop a dynamic tabbed navbar component for use in my
Tapestry app. This seems like a pretty common component that I thought
would have already been a part of tapestry, so I thought I would ask the
community if anyone has developed such a component and would like to
donate it to the community. If one has not been built, I will build it
and donate my version.
I need it to handle a default image and a selected image, commonly
called as an up/down image. That's about it. I looked at the example
under the RenderBlock component, but it seemed overly complex for what
I'm doing. I don't need to block pages from viewing, I just want each
tab to act like a PageLink, linking to a component.
If there is an easier way to accomplish this, or if someone has already
done this, please let me know.
Thanks.

That would be great. I'll give you credit where I use it if you want.

I'll appreciate it if you post your code, I think I need to use a component
which is very similar to the one you just described.

I created a tabbed navigation bar that's pretty handy. It's driven off a
static meta-data structure for label, page name, sub-links, etc. (basically
just a List of Maps), and it has a parameter 'selectedTab' which each page
can
set to show the appropriate tab as current. The guts of the template looks
like:
<table cellspacing=0 class=toptabs>
<tr>
<td jwcid="@Foreach" element="td" source="ognl:tabs.values"
value="ognl:currentTab" class="ognl:classForCurrentTab"><a jwcid="@PageLink"
page="ognl:currentTab.page"><div class=toptab-label><span jwcid="@Insert"
value="ognl:currentTab.name"/></div></a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I don't use images for the tabs, but it would be pretty easy to do. The
'selectedTab' parameter approach is useful because it allows multiple
Tapestry
pages to "show up" under the same top-level tab (think Amazon.com). A use
of
the component in a page looks like:
<span jwcid="@TopTabs" selectedTab="Home"/>
I'd be happy to share the detailed code if this seems similar to what you're
trying to do...

Yes, it does, but in a Border component. Maybe the best thing for me to

RE: Tabbed NavBar component
Posted by Dustin Frazier <du...@philanthropix.org>.
I created a tabbed navigation bar that's pretty handy. It's driven off a
static meta-data structure for label, page name, sub-links, etc. (basically
just a List of Maps), and it has a parameter 'selectedTab' which each page can
set to show the appropriate tab as current. The guts of the template looks
like:
<table cellspacing=0 class=toptabs>
<tr>
<td jwcid="@Foreach" element="td" source="ognl:tabs.values"
value="ognl:currentTab" class="ognl:classForCurrentTab"><a jwcid="@PageLink"
page="ognl:currentTab.page"><div class=toptab-label><span jwcid="@Insert"
value="ognl:currentTab.name"/></div></a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I don't use images for the tabs, but it would be pretty easy to do. The
'selectedTab' parameter approach is useful because it allows multiple Tapestry
pages to "show up" under the same top-level tab (think Amazon.com). A use of
the component in a page looks like:
<span jwcid="@TopTabs" selectedTab="Home"/>
I'd be happy to share the detailed code if this seems similar to what you're
trying to do...

Doesn't the workbench example do something like this?
