A very simple plugin to add text widgets to the profile, dashboard and custom_index_widgets with 3 tabbed text areas

Last updated

The coding for this will make computer scientists and software engineers writhe in pain but it is a quick and dirty (though, I believe, secure and fairly reliable) plugin that creates a 3-tab text widget for use on profile, dashboard and custom_index_widgets pages. That's all it does - no more, no less- it lets you add one widget with exactly three tabs, with configurable titles, each containing whatever HTML or text you like.

I didn't have time or energy to figure out passing arrays so the three tabbed input and output areas are hard coded. It was easier to produce this than hack a way around putting HTML/CSS/JavaScript in a standard Anytext widget that HTMLawed would not sanitise too much and we needed a more compact text area on our custom_index_widgets front page. 

It is based on Anytext and the free-text widget that is part of custom_index_widgets and will use whatever rich text editor you have installed (usually TinyMCE).

It uses xtabs to create tabs (http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/project/713783/developer/ihayredinov/ajax-tabs-for-developers)   - thanks ihayredinov!

If you want to use it with custom_index_widgets (http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/project/385113/developer/FxNion/custom-index-with-widgets), then you need custom_index_widgets (duh). If you don't have it, the plugin won't use it and will just provide widgets for profile and dashboard.
