Please HELP!!!
I just can"t see this and surely I am blind as no-one else seem to have this problem.
1. I can create a new module.
2. I can point it to the "s5_tab1, 2 and 3" positions.

1. What "New" module type can I use that will link the content to the module?
2. I somehow recall adding the article's ID to the module, but can't find it now.
3. The content will stay constant so I can't use "Newsflash" or "Latest News"
I did try "Related Articles" but could not get it to work.

A few months back I did get it working with "New Architect"
The client did not like it and I deleted the S5 Tab Show.

Your help will be GREATLY appreciated

Regards

Hello,

Please be more specific with your questions, are you receiving an error message when creating a new module? The s5_tab1, s5_tab2, etc. positions are already built into the template and you can pick them from the module positions drop down.

Hi Mikek
I have no problem setting up the modules and pointing it to the correct position.
But how do I get the content to show up

See www.gebedsklub.net.

I have the S5 Tab Show working. There are 2 buttons there, but no content.
 If I go to Extensions > Module Manager > Create a new module.
I am faced with a list of "New Module" options example
1. Latest News
2. Newsflash
3. Related Articles, ect

The content that I want to feature inside the Tab Show will stay content, so Latest News, or Newsflash won't work.
I'm certain that I am overlooking something, as I got the basics working a few months back with
New Architect. I somehow recall that you have to list the article's ID, but is totally lost at the moment.

I hope that I am making it a bit clearer this time around.
and NO, I do not get any "Error Messages"

Thanks
Ignatius

Hello, the content that shows in the tab show is any module published to s5_tab1, s5_tab2, etc. So in the tab show module you setup your titles of the tabs and then publish any module you wish to one of the tab show positions and they will show in the tabs.

If you just want plain content click new in the upper right corner of the extensions manager page, and then select custom html module. Publish the module to one of the tab show positions and then type your content into the bottom of the module's backend page.

Thanks Mike.
I got it fixed up by using the "Custom Html" module.
Thanks again for the help.

Hello, My problem is a little different. I have Joomla 1.5.15 with Touch of Soul template. I installed the tab show module but when i click on the module to configure it the page that comes up has no functionality. I cannot save the template position, assign to menus, or see any other parameters that normally appear on the right side of the backend module setup. Have anyone ever had problems just getting the module configured? I want to save to the above_body_2 position so that I can publish modules to each tab position.
