I'm not overly familiar with Collections so I hope I'm making sense. 

We have a collection with 6 pages in it. When displayed 5 tabs appear plus one ellipses where the last one should be. There's ample room to actually display the remaining tab rather than the inferred 'more' tab. 

Is this a bug / slightly dodgy feature or is it something I can change someplace?

Thanks :)

Hello Howard,

I believe there might be a hard-coded number of tabs to display before the three dots appear. If you want to show all tabs, you could simply remove the ellipses with the following (or similar depending on the version of Mahara you have). Note: That would display all tabs also in larger collections. You couldn't just target smaller ones.

1. Comment out all the code within function toggleShowmore()
2. Comment out the creation on the '<<' tab in addLoadEvent() function
3. Comment out the connect('colnav') onclick function in addLoadEvent() function

And that should show all the tabs.

From Mahara 15.10 on we will not have the tabs anymore, but a better way to navigate collections which allows for displaying the collection title as well as the page title instead of hiding the latter on the tabs.

Cheers

Kristina

There's actually a bug tracker item relating to this, also: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/925648

I'll update that with a screenshot of the new system.

Thanks both... yes, I eventually found both the place in the code where it is set (yep - a hard coded '5') and the tracker.
