ghughes Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Sorry, could somebody point me in the direction of the Noticeboard tutorial, how to do a tabbed one for different year groups. Seen it done on a tutorial somewhere, but can't for the life of me find it!? Can't even see how to add a tabbed widget? Thanks Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Quince Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 @ghughes - I've never turned this into a tutorial as its fairly awkward to get the UUIDs. If you'd like me to set up some tabs for you, I'm happy to arrange that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghughes Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 That would be great thanks. Just trying to think of the best way of having multiple noticeboards. Staff Notices/ Student Notices / PE notices / Music in one tabbable section Thanks Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmclaughlin Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 One of the things we found was creating your dashboard as a site and then nesting it into the dashboard page makes a very nice and easy to use dashboard. It would also allow you to have different tabs. If you create it you then can nest different sections of the page and if on the site. You then can have different rules set for each group.

Matt Sounds intriguing, but I can't quite picture what you're saying. Any chance you could do a screen recording to talk us through it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmclaughlin Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 If I understand what you are asking @ghughes you want to have the ability to have a specific page to different groups. I do not have access to the dashboard to make changes to @Graham Quince What I was thinking was to create a site for each of the groups. Then you embed the nested page widget on the dashboard. So now there are multiple pages and you set the rules on the nested page widget which should set up the permissions that you want. That way you don't need different tabs. Will create a video walking through it. Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smackie2 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 @mmclaughlin that's how we have ours set up too - works well. Only downside is that if you click on a notification saying there is a new notice post it will open the site where the noticeboard is and not the dashboard. Minor irritant to me Susanna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmclaughlin Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Instead of the embedded notice boards, we use a padlet and embed it into the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 @mmclaughlin, can you explain how you do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmclaughlin Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 @annBasically we have created a site. Then we go to padlet.com and create a padlet and share it public. This will allow us to pull the URL. I then put the Embed website in it with padlet's URL and the functionality of the padlet goes with it. I have set the padlet to allow me moderator rights so I have to accept all announcements and delete the old ones It takes me 5 minutes each day.

vikpaw Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 @Graham Quince Is there any chance you can share the html code that is required to create tabbed notices? I'm having trouble with tabbed notices on a new install, something is broken. Ours is setup to have a Notices Site with a notice widget for each year group on a new tab. The first tab is an All Notices page with nested pages. It also has two html widgets, one at the top to control styles and a second at the bottom. The bottom one has the references to the UUID of the other tabs, so it can bring them together and show / hide the elements. This whole site is then nested into a dashboard. The issue is, one I don't know where the UUIDs need to come from. I thought it was for each separate tab (menu item on the main page), but it didn't work and there is a second issue with the below code. /*jshint loopfunc: true */ $widgetsByYear[year] = $widgets.filter(function() { return $(this).data('content-uuid') === noticesUuid[year]; }); It complains that you can't declare a function in a loop. Googling told me to add the commented jshint code, which suppresses the error in the html editor but i still get a 'malformed javascript' error at the bottom of the page and none of the tabs are clickable or seem to work.

Graham Quince Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hi, It's identifying the UUIDs that's the tricky bit and the reason I've not turned this into a tutorial. The 'easiest' method is to run the site in Safe Mode. Right-click on each nested page and choose Inspect Element. This should highlight the correct UUID in the developer console. Ignore the function in a loop thing. That's Frog's HTML widget being picky about best practice. That's not causing a problem with the malformed javascript. If you email me the details of where the site is, I'll jump on and see if i can fix it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikpaw Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Sorted now, thanks @Graham Quince 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
