Hi and thanks for the module.
What I would like though is to be able to have multiple blocks under one tab. Is this possible?
Ive been trying to figure away to print the blocks into one node or block using module invoke, but no success.
thanks for any help.

Pasqualleyou can put 2 blocks into 1 node with Insert Block

BarisW CreditAttribution: BarisW commentedI would love to have this as well. Let's give an example of how I would use it!
Suppose you have a News tab. Within this tab, I would love to have two blocks. One with the latest news item, teaser view. Below this block, I'd like to show the titles of the latest 5 news items. Do do so, I need to have two blocks in one tab.
Is this hard to implement, in the current quicktabs module?
Comment #4
Pasqualleone easy option for now is to create a node and insert the two views into it with Insert view. Then add that node as tab.

gausarts CreditAttribution: gausarts commented#3 is exactly what I have in mind. Man, you are a great mind reader, you read my mind 7 months before this crosses my mind now :)
This QT is already great, and yes, subscribing for multiple contents in a single tab.

ShannonK CreditAttribution: ShannonK commentedI also would love this functionality. The Insert View module is not approved for production sites right now because of security issues though.
Pasqualle - do you think the solution in #2 would work (Panels)?
Comment #7
Pasqualleyes, if there is no ajax in the panel, then #2 will work.
Comment #8
gausarts CreditAttribution: gausarts commentedCurrently I have to merge blocks via a custom module, and called by quicktabs. Hopefully if this feature request is implemented, I don't have to manually create another module just to merge blocks :)
Thanks

liquidcms CreditAttribution: liquidcms commentedthis would be a great feature... some sort of integration with Panels would likely do this (and more).. :)
Comment #11
liquidcms CreditAttribution: liquidcms commentedyup, mini-panels is the way to go.. you can make a mini-panel and add as many views or other content pieces as you like. The mini-panel then shows up as a block which you can insert into a QTab

urbanbricks CreditAttribution: urbanbricks commentedPanels is a heavy module for small tasks like the ones noted above; would love to see Quicktabs integrate the option to place multiple blocks in one tab, without the use of mini panels.

doublejosh CreditAttribution: doublejosh commentedOn a similar note: if this is regarding view be sure to remember you can use Views Attachments to have several lists, etc. in the same tab. Then perhaps use headers and footers to take care of other needs.
Comment #14
weseze CreditAttribution: weseze commented+1 for this feature. working with node, mini-panels or other modules is just a workaround for this functionality
Comment #15
nagiek CreditAttribution: nagiek commentedIf quicktabs could just find tabs with the same name and group them, that would be an easy way to implement.
Comment #16
javdich CreditAttribution: javdich commented+ 1 for this as well. I am trying to group recent comments & the comment form under the same tab.
Comment #17
acidpotato CreditAttribution: acidpotato commentedWould like this as well. For D7 tho.

acidpotato CreditAttribution: acidpotato commentedMy block with attachment doesnt show on the quicktabs, just fyi, dont know if thats expected behavior tho

Comment #21
q0rban CreditAttribution: q0rban commentedAssigning this to myself. We (Lullabot) are working on this today as a part of our weekly Drupal.org code raid! :)
Comment #22
q0rban CreditAttribution: q0rban commentedGoing to unassign myself. I think @justafish will be picking this up. There are a couple of different options we discussed. First option would be to add a new tab type that allowed selecting of all the other tab types, with an add more and draggable interface. Second option would be to create a new grouping mechanism to group tabs, similar to how field groups work. Grouped tabs would have the option of displaying the child items as tabs themselves (similar to the qtabs tab type), or as a simple list. Third option would be to add an option to the qtabs tab type to allow for listing out of the tabs, instead of displaying them /as/ tabs. There are some UX problems with each of these latter two choices.

jienckebd CreditAttribution: jienckebd commentedThis would be a great feature. I've been creating blocks to embed multiple views and listing those under one tab, but I've run in to a problem where I use a callback and I want to display a view above it.

No Sssweat CreditAttribution: No Sssweat commentedUse the Panels module, then create a Mini Panel (which are blocks) then assign the Mini Panel block as one of the tabs.
Panels allows you to have multiple views & blocks inside the panel.
To learn more about the panels module watch this video tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTemg8fE9Dw
Panels is easy to use, and it's a must have module for any website builder.
Comment #28
bulat CreditAttribution: bulat commentedCan module maintainer please confirm that this will not be implemented in Quick Tabs before issue is closed. Also is min panel a preferred solution? Did anybody try it with tabs?
Comment #29
No Sssweat CreditAttribution: No Sssweat commentedBulat, mini panels works perfectly with quick tabs, I use them. There is no point for the module creators to add this as a feature since mini panels already does that for ya.
Also, note that this is a 4 year old thread. If module creators had plans to add this they would've done it by now. I've seen some old threads with mini panels issues, which were fixed. So I think the module creators want you to use mini panels.
So I suggest you get the panels module, which comes with mini panels, and use that. For panels tutorial watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTemg8fE9Dw

pavagadhijatin CreditAttribution: pavagadhijatin commentedYou may try using the module Block Group. You can group multiple blocks into a single block using this module and than you may assign the block to quicktab

imclean CreditAttribution: imclean commentedPanels is a massive module which adds a fair bit of overhead if you're not already using it.
Block Group looks good, although my group is coming up blank at the moment.
