Topics with tabs

Post by Hedgehawk »

Hello Everyone,

I have a bit of a strange question regarding phpBB and I figured I would ask if anyone knows about this before trying to make it work and banging my head against the wall.

I want to create a forum, but within the topics I would like there to be tabs. So that posts are separated based under which tab they fall under. For example, a topic might have a notes tab, a discussion tab and then an images tab. Under each tab would display posts for that tab, but at the bottom would be a reply box that posted to that specific tab.

I hope that makes sense!

I did get a rudimentary version of this working when I was creating a forum from scratch using HTML, PHP and Bootstrap. My approach was that I added a Tab_ID field to my posts table. And each Bootstrap Tab, had a separate PHP/SQL query that only returned posts that matched that topic ID and had the corresponding Tab_ID. It was neat, but of course writing it from scratch meant the code was going to insecure, and I am not programming whiz. phpBB has alot more features than I could ever create, So i was hoping that this might be a more useful starting point.
