RokSprocket: Tabs Layout Mode

Tabs

Tabs is a tabbed content display mode, presenting content in dynamically sizing tabs.

1

Title

This is the title you wish to give the RokSprocket instance. This is only used as a label on the backend, as the widget title will be what appears on the frontend of the site.

2

Filtered Article List Options

Gives you access to item-specific settings for the posts title, description, image, and link.

3

Content Filter Rules

Sets the content filter rules for the widget.

1. The Title field gives you the ability to set a title for the widget itself. Every widget has to have a title, though you can opt to hide it from public view for a cleaner, more theme integrated look. The Position field right below it gives you the ability to set the position within the theme's layout the widget should appear in.

2. The Filtered Article List gives you access to item-specific settings including:

   • Image - This allows you to circumvent the assigned image from the post and replace it with one specifically for the headline.
   • Link - If set, the link will show a *Read More** button as well as link the title. On specific themes, it will link the image in the headline, as well.
   • Description - Allows you to set a description for the headline. If this is left at Default the introtext from the post is used.

3. The Content Filter Rules section gives you the ability to determine how the widget will pull content to make up the headlines. For example, you can have the widget pull posts that are within a specific category, contain a particular name or keyword in the title, or choose specific posts. You can also modify how this content is sorted in the widget.

Below the Content Filter Rules section are two options areas specific to the layout mode you have chosen. We have broken down the Tabs Layout Options and Tabs Article Defaults sections below.
