Average from 8 reviews on the Joomla Extension Directory

  • I had a problem once I went over three tabs. This happened only when I was a database grid plugin which is intended to give information from the MySql database (used jDBExport extension) on a yearly basis. The service from the developer was enough to buy this extension because they simply kept at it until they found a work around and an understandable configuration. I would recommend that on all occasions whenever you have a problem with this extension, no matter how small, you contact the developer. The combination of both extensions makes an excellent outcomes for anyone trying to extract information from a MySql database. A great extension and a great service!

  • Does everything it says it does, plus superb service! I have a unique/strange template and the the extension did not display as I wanted but, a quick email to support and over the next hour they held my hand and gently led me through with loads of patience until I achieved what I wanted. Brilliant service!

  • Después de probar varias extensiones de pestañas, esta es sin duda la mejor. La instalación fue muy sencilla y la configuración intuitiva. Lo que más me gusta es cómo se adapta perfectamente a dispositivos móviles, algo que otras extensiones no logran hacer bien. Los estilos predefinidos son muy elegantes y profesionales. Tuve una pequeña duda sobre cómo personalizar los colores y el soporte técnico me respondió en español el mismo día. ¡Totalmente recomendable para cualquier sitio Joomla que necesite mostrar contenido en pestañas!

  • Tabs look wretched on mobile devices and are not responsive. This extension does a beautiful job of turning tabs into well styled and well behaved navigation options for your website with little effort. I have used two other tab displays in the past and they did the job... until mobile came along. Then, yuck. I installed this, made a few easy modifications to the existing tab syntax on three sites and presto, gorgeously styled tabs (24 or 25 styles are built in and it's easy to style them if you want) that look fantastic on a desktop or a smartphone. You'll appreciate the way it shows your tabs on mobile, really makes it work fantastically well. Downsides? none. Upside? Use tabs with mobile reliably. Well worth the modest investment.

  • Genau das, was ich für meine Firmenwebsite gesucht habe! Die Installation war sehr einfach und die Konfiguration intuitiv. Was mich besonders beeindruckt hat, ist wie gut die Tabs auf Mobilgeräten funktionieren - sie klappen zu einem Akkordeon zusammen, was die Benutzerfreundlichkeit erheblich verbessert. Die vorgefertigten Stile sind sehr professionell und lassen sich leicht an das eigene Design anpassen. Der Support hat schnell und kompetent auf meine Fragen geantwortet. Ein absolut empfehlenswertes Plugin für jeden, der Inhalte übersichtlich darstellen möchte!

  • J'ai cherché longtemps une extension de tabs qui fonctionne bien sur mobile, et celle-ci est parfaite ! L'installation a été très simple et la personnalisation des styles est vraiment intuitive. J'apprécie particulièrement la façon dont les onglets se transforment en accordéon sur les petits écrans, ce qui améliore considérablement l'expérience utilisateur. Les 25 styles prédéfinis sont élégants et professionnels. Le support technique a répondu à ma question en français en moins de 24 heures. Un excellent investissement pour mon site de portfolio !

  • この拡張機能は私のeコマースサイトに最適です。インストールは簡単で、設定もとても直感的です。特に気に入っているのは、モバイルでの表示方法です。タブがアコーディオンスタイルに変わり、スマートフォンでも簡単に操作できます。25種類以上のスタイルが用意されていて、サイトのデザインに合わせてカスタマイズも簡単です。サポートチームは質問に迅速に対応してくれました。タブ表示が必要な全てのJoomlaサイトにお勧めします！

    Hiroshi Tanaka JoomlaX

  • After trying several tab solutions for my Joomla site, this is by far the best! The installation was straightforward and the configuration options are comprehensive yet easy to understand. What really sets this extension apart is how beautifully it handles the responsive behavior - converting to an accordion on mobile devices makes the content so much more accessible. I love the variety of pre-built styles and the ability to customize them further. I had a question about implementing the tabs in a specific module position, and support responded within hours with a perfect solution. Highly recommended for any website that needs to organize content efficiently!

FAQ

Questions about Easy Responsive Tabs

Still unsure? Our support team is one ticket away.

What is Easy Responsive Tabs?

It is a Joomla system plugin that turns simple shortcodes into responsive, accessible tab sets. You can also load tabs from existing articles.

Which Joomla versions are supported?

Joomla 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x. PHP 8.1 or newer is recommended.

What package should I install?

Install pkg_easytabs_1.9.zip. It includes the system plugin and the Easy Tabs editor button.

What is the latest shortcode syntax?

Use lowercase curly braces, for example {etabs} with {tab Title}…{/tab} inside, then {/etabs}.

Does old uppercase or square-bracket syntax still work?

Yes. Uppercase {ETABS} / {TAB} and older [ETABS] / [TAB] inserts are still processed. Prefer the new lowercase curly syntax for new content.

How many styles and themes are included?

20 styles and 24 named themes, plus a custom hex colour. That is more than 480 combinations.

How do I change style or theme?

Set defaults in the system plugin, or add attributes on the shortcode, for example style="pill" themecolor="dark-hive". Attributes can be in any order.

Can I build tabs from Joomla articles?

Yes. Use {etabs article="1,2,3"}{/etabs}. Article titles become labels and article content fills each panel.

What does the hash attribute do?

With hash="true" (or URL Hash Deep Links enabled in settings), switching tabs updates the browser URL so a tab can be bookmarked or shared. It is off by default.

Why is hash off by default?

Pages with many tab sets can flood the URL history. Keep hash off globally, and turn it on only for sets that need deep links.

How do I insert tabs from the editor?

Enable the Editor Button plugin, then click Easy Tabs. Choose style, theme, and optional hash, then insert.

Do tabs work on phones and tablets?

Yes. Layouts adapt for smaller screens. Vertical and sidebar stack cleanly; arrow, ribbon, and skewed keep a readable horizontal strip.

Are the tabs accessible?

Yes. ARIA roles, keyboard navigation, and focus management are built in.

Is jQuery required?

No. Version 1.7 and later use vanilla JavaScript only.

My tabs are not showing. What should I check?

Confirm the system plugin is enabled, shortcodes are closed correctly, you are viewing the front end, and cache is cleared. For article tabs, check that the IDs are published and accessible.
