Tabbed Content View is a Sitefinity CMS user control that can be used to display Generic Content items in a tabbed view. The items selected for display in the tabbed view are filtered using a tag name, allowing for selection across existent content categories, and item reuse by tagging it as appropriate. The tab name and sequence are maintained using custom meta-fields, allowing for consistent, user-friendly tab name reuse.
Slideshow-like functionality changes the selected tab automatically to the next one, with a set frequency. Slide-show your featured content easily without using Flash or Silverlight!
New! Tabs for News, Blog Posts, Events are now available in addition to the dynamically generated tabs. The position, sequence and visibility can be customized through control properties. Simplified, tabbed view-friendly item list templates for news, blog posts, and events are included.
