BN Useful Tab (Use tabs in templates)
Development and Programming
This extension will allow you to use the tab key to create tab characters in the template editor, rather than tab you into the next field. This extension has been tested working on IE7, Firefox 3, and Safari 3.2.1 on the Mac, and Safari 3.1.1
Using this will allow you to create something like this in the template editor,
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="jobs"}
{if member_group == "1" OR "{assigned}"=="{member_id}"}
{if portfolio_dev_link!=""}
<a href="http://{portfolio_dev_link}">{portfolio_client}</a>
{if:else}
<a href="#" class="{switch=">{portfolio_client} {portfolio_job_name}</a>
{/if}
{/if}
{/exp:weblog:entries}{exp:weblog:entries weblog="jobs"}
{if member_group == "1" OR "{assigned}"=="{member_id}"}
{if portfolio_dev_link!=""}
<a href="http://{portfolio_dev_link}">{portfolio_job_name}</a>
{if:else}
<a href=”#” class=”{switch=">{portfolio_client} {portfolio_job_name}</a>
{/if}
{/if}
{/exp:weblog:entries}Please post here if you have any issues with this and I’ll work to correct them asap.
Hiya,
Nice little addition thanks. I actually use the Publish Page Improvements extension which has this in it but this is definitely going into my arsenal of extensions 😊
Best wishes,

PublishImprove’s template tab didn’t work in Safari for Mac.
That being said, I just tested them and they’ll both play together well though, even if PublishImprove has its template tab setting enabled. If my extension is enabled, it’ll ‘fix’ the Safari issue (I think if PI changed it’s js keystroke detecting method to document.onkeydown, instead of onkeypress it’d work.)

I’m using it on Safari on Mac, have been ever since it came out 😊
So that’s the case for you… which is excellent. On the several different Macs I’ve tried it on in my office, the tab function doesn’t work. There must be some subtle configuration difference that has caused PublishImprove’s tab setting to not to work here.

Yep I’ve been using Macs since 1987 so somehow have always managed to coax them to do what I want 😉
Again thanks for this extension though as I don’t always need the Publish Page extension so this one is awesome in its own right.
Best wishes,

Well I was only 13 at the time and Macs had only been around for 3 years before that. I think that’s pretty good isn’t it? 😉
This is awesome as the tab issue has always bothered me before!
i never could get the tab feature to work in the publish improvement extension either, so this is very helpful. however, wasn’t there another extension that did the same thing? either way, thanks.
There are several that do about the same, but none of them worked for me. Due to a minor difference… mine seems to work on Safari for the Mac, as well as IE on Windows & Firefox on the Mac & PC.
All I care about in the end is that mine works for me 😊
Just installed this and it works. Thanks!
