- UPDATE: I included 2 new styles based on Jeff Forrer's ideas in this forum discussion: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/building-better-courses/free-notebook-style-tabs-interaction-for-storyline-360#reply-663701
I also included the Google font "Handlee" and a link to the font for reference. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll be happy to help.- thanks
- good
- so , how do I document new content on each slide?
- Hi Angies, You can edit the text on each slide and slide layer with your own. This interaction is really one slide built three different ways.
I would choose the slide you like best, delete the others, and begin replacing the text and image content on the slide and slide layers with your own content.
Have you had a chance to open the file? Happy to answer any questions to help you get the most from the template.
- I love the hover effect, Montse! It's really fun to have it this way! Realistic but visually nice at the same time.
- Thank you for this beautiful tabs interaction
- How do you remove the photo card? I can remove it from the base layer but it is still showing on all of the layers.
- Hi Montse,
I am using your tab menu template as the overarching structure for my course so that students can use that menu throughout their journey through the course to navigate back to a specific part. This has required converting your template from one slide with multiple layers to multiple slides, each with one layer that represents the "active" tab state for each tab. Then I intend to have the sub-sections within each tab section be subsequent pages.
The issue I'm having is that even after I've remapped all the triggers for the tabs so that they each go to the corresponding tab page, the button states for the tabs end up "cummulating." For example, if I go from Home > Tab 1 > Tab 2 > Tab 1, this will show both Tab 1 and Tab 2 in the "selected" state even though only Tab 1 should be selected (since that path ends with you on the Tab 1 page). I have all the tabs in a button set, but the button sets don't translate across pages so I think that's my problem. Do you have any suggestions for how I can address this?
I, myself, see two options but they aren't ideal:
1. Add triggers that change the state of all other tabs on the page to "Normal" when the timeline starts (this would have to be done on each page for each tab so it would make the trigger panel very messy)
2. Stick to multiple layers on one Home page (one for each tab) and then have each individual tab link to sub-section pages using the Next button. But maybe this wouldn't work because you wouldn't be able to link to a specific layer on the Home page from the subsequent pages (if I'm on Page 2 of the Tab 2 section and want to get back to Tab 1 [Layer 1 on the Home page], there's no way to do that).
Does any of this make sense? Do you have any ideas about how to make this work? Here is my file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CCa901V0HI9RrDVV1VsGsIvn8yYPJRMb/view?usp=sharing
