A couple ideas.
The Tabbed content on the dynamic site mentioned above is a script. That means you have to change the script contents everytime you want to change data in the tabbed content block. A time consuming process to be honest, most of us just don't have.
If we used such a script we would need a tabbed content generation software module that can create or edit content in the script with a copy & paste function for placement of the finished documents in blocks on Xoops.
I have this great little DHTML tool I got from CoffeeCup that I use to create dynamic tiered menus on my sites. It's not the coolest thing you ever used, but it does facilitate the creation of menu item changes very quickly. I poke the script the little application creates into a block and set position for placement within the script. Actually, I use a blank title block, place the script inside the XOOPS custom block. It's so darn easy it defys logic. LOL
If we had an XOOPS type module similar to News, etc. we could create or edit the tabbed content from the admin panel. This would of course be the proper way to do it.
We would need the ability to create multiple blocks of this type.
Also note on the yahoo.com the tabbed content has several links with little thumbnail pictures for accessing further content from each tab page. Yahoo little tabbed blocks are awesome for managing a lot of content.
Tabbed Content blocks could further be enhanced with scrolling data ability. Users could click on a tabbed block and have a scroll presentation of many items of interest. A mouseover could stop the scroll and a click could take the user there.
Competition for keeping interest in our sites becomes more of an issue daily. There are alot of sharp marketers taking on website development very seriously.
