Active tab by URL

[levipadre]

Hello,

The plugin is really nice and usable. I have a question. Is there any chance to use this plugin with callable url? For example, when the url like this:
domain/something/#tabId2
and the second tab will be the active tab.
I hope it's possible, I don't want to change to other.

Thanks a lot,
L

@levipadre have you found a solution for this?

Even if there was a work around in applying the same class for the main navigation tabs. This plugin needs this functionality.

This is by no means a pretty way to do this, but it got the job done for me for what I needed it for and it might help you or someone else.

1. Target the class or ID of the link you want to switch to a new tab
2. Set a general selector for your main tabs and set your selector for the specific tab that will become active. This will toggle the active class so when your link is clicked it changes just as if you clicked on the tab itself.
3. Set a general selector for your individual tab content wrappers and the ID of the tab that you want to make show. This will handle the transition.

This was thrown together very quickly and for how I needed it to work, but hopefully it gives an idea on how you can get it working.

$('.next').click(function() {
        $('#tabs ul li a').removeClass('tabulous_active');
        $('#tabs ul li:nth-of-type(2) a').addClass('tabulous_active');
        $('#tabs_container div').removeClass('showscale').addClass('make_transist').addClass('hidescale');
        $('#tabs-2').addClass('make_transist').addClass('showscale');
    });
