I'd like to be able to break down and/or divide content in tabbed panels. Example: [link]
In other words to be able to create the same with simple code much like when using jQuery tools, dynamic tabbed panels or use of Spry like when creating pages in Dreamweaver.
The obvious problem here with this idea is the need to use or edit the JavaScript. So as a suggestion for future updates,I'd like to ask the page designers of deviantart.com to add this feature (or should I say necessary code) to the journal pages script (from any of these examples or whatever they prefer), so that the only thing as deviants we users have to do is use the right or proper HTML codes to use the tabs.
In other words, users don't touch the script at all for any reason. Just type in the HTML code like so and it if done right it automatically builds and shows the tab pannels bith in the preview and published entry: (much like what we already do to customize our content in the journals)
And like I said the end result would be similar to example that I put at the top, because the code needed for the rest is already part of the journal page. Understand where I'm going with this? And lastly, just is already done for the rest of the "journal skins", for premium members it be just a matter of editing the CSS data of the "journal skins" (not page) to change the "look and feel" or else style which the tab panels shall look and present themselves. Good idea, no?
I hope you'll give it a shot, after all it'd be a lot of help for those who have a lot of content to post, but not a lot of space or means to organize it in a beautiful and functional way!
Example of a journal with this problem: [link] Example of the results I'm looking for: [link]
Note: The last one is just an example of the way it'll look, not how its made or the functions. Just that it "should behave similar". Since its an example, you'll find that not all the content on the journal is on the page.
True, but what if ya don't have time for that or many subsections to cover? That well and good and I too use often when your just talking about just a little bit of content; but extensive stuff like the documentation of the win 8 store app I'm making tends to ask a bit more. Especially if I'm working exclusively with deviant artist (in other words deviantart.com is the only place where people will be paying attention, no where else). I need to be able to keep them informed of the latest every week in the easy manner (notes don't work, nor feeds. And relying on to many out side pages tends to cause loss of interest). More importantly I got to keep in mind who's reading. Breaking it down to to many journals is impracticable for something like this. Don't expect they'll read "EVERY" single one, do you? Even I'd loose interest after the third or fourth post in a row. Anyway, I suppose it a matter of interest. Just wanna be able to do this all in a better and simpler way. Not only will it be easier on the eyes but also will look esthetically good too. Thanks for the input though!
If you seriously insist on a changelog, stuff it into a box at the bottom of your journal. Give it a scrollbar if it's really too long for your tastes.
