Parent TAB question

Question

Hi, I like to enlarge my existing application and have defined a PARENT TAB (with three Tabs) and have assigned my 9 Standard Tabs (and Pages) to the 3 standard tabs.
Now these new Parent Tabs are not shown.
In the "Edit Page" I can only assign either or of the Parent Tab Sets (and only two of th three are shown) - how to assign the whole 3-fold Parent Tab set ?
What do I miss ?
pls adv TIA
Bernhard

Answer 1

my first guess would be that you're using a page template that isn't set up for two levels of tabs. for parent tabs to render correctly your page template needs to use the substitution string #PARENT_TAB_CELLS# somewhere on it. rather than just dropping that substitution string onto my existing template, i find it's much easier to create a new template where i "Choose one from the HTML DB repository". if i choose on of the 2-tab-level template from there, things look pretty clean w/o me having to clean up. anyhow, do try that to see if you're tabs will render correctly. also, so you know, pages aren't really directly associated with standard tabs or parent tabs. as you're finding, you associate a page with a standard tab set. that standard tab set can then optionally be associated with a parent tab set.
hope this helps,
