Accordion type tabs are particularly useful if you want to have longer tab titles or more tabs that wouldn't otherwise fit into the given horizontal width. = Features: = * Use other widgets for tab content and specify custom tab titles. * Make tabs rotate in a set interval, which makes them more noticeable and prominent. * Set a random start tab on each page load so that all tabbed content gets equal exposure. * Make unlimited number of tabbed widgets that can be then used as regular widgets under ‘Design’ › ‘Widgets’. = Why are Tabbed Widgets better than your theme's built-in tabs? = With Tabbed Widgets you can use *any widget* inside the tabbed interface and you are no longer limited to what the theme designer had in mind. = Tabbed Widget design services = Tabbed widgets created by this plugin have very little CSS applied by default because every theme is very different. Therefore, I offer [Tabbed Widget design customization service](http://konstruktors.com/blog/projects-services/wordpress-plugins/tabbed-accordion-widgets/#service). == Installation == 1. Search for "Tabbed Widgets" in ‘Plugins’ › ‘Add New’. Install it. 2. Under ‘Design’ › ‘Widgets’ drag a new "Tabbed Widget" (from the list of Available Widgets) into a sidebar where you want it to appear. 3. Widgets that have configuration settings *must* be placed in the 'Invisible Sidebar Area' before they will appear in the drop-down menu. == Changelog == * **1.3.1** (Jan 24, 2011) -- Revert to local jQuery UI core, widgets, accordion and tabs hosting.

Improved widget drop-down selection with exact widget titles. Added an invisible sidebar (widgetized area) for placing and configuring widgets that are going to be used inside the tabbed widgets. Adding automatic rotation stop also for regulat type tabs. * **0.2**: New feature: if a user clicks on a link inside a tab, that tab will be automatically set to open on the next page load. This is a significant usability improvement. * **0.1x**: Various bug fixes. * **0.1**: Initial public release. == Upgrade Notice == = 1.3.1 = Revert to local jQuery UI hosting.
