Sidebar Tabs

Okay, first off, I’m a php rookie. So keep that in mind with any responses.

I’m trying to get tabs working in my sidebars. I do not want to turn the complete sidebar into tabular form, just some of the widgets within the sidebar.

In my case (http://jeffwithag.com) I want to combine the following 4 widgets into a tabular view.

Recent Posts, Recent Forum Posts, Recent Comments, Site Updates

I’m using wordpress 2.7.1 and have tried the following:

Tabbed Widgets
Fun with Sidebar Tabs

Setup is straight forward, but the end result is not working. I’ve read a couple of posts that say it’s to do with JQuery changes between WordPress versions.

JQuery(‘#sometext > ul’)

should be changed to:

JQuery(‘#sometext’)

But when doing a search for that, I found like 4 places to change it, and I saw no differences.

I’ve also read it may be conflict with other plugins. Here’s a list of the plugins I’m using.

I can’t believe there doesn’t exist a working sidebar tabs widget? If anyone knows of one that is simple to use, please let me know? Otherwise, if there is another way to implement this, please try walking me through it, I’ll see if I can keep up.

Thanks,
Geoff
