How to apply focus for specific tab in quicktab

Question

I have used quicktabs to search my channels and profiles.I have set default tab "Channels/Videos" in quicktabs setting.When a user enters the text and selects "Profile" tab the focus automatically reverts back to "Channels/Videos".What I want want is,it should remain on the option whichever is been selected("Channels/Videos" or "profile").How can i do this? I also checked by setting the default tab as"none" in quicktabs setting but when a user search for "Channels/Videos"(or "Profile") focus on tab( which is in blue color ) disappears. How can i fix this problem?

Answer 1

You can alter the search form hook_for_alter using form id.

Add a hidden field name it 'mytab' whose by default value will be channel and on click of tab its value will be toggled between channel and profile.

So when we submit the form to search the content, it will look this way ?title=hello&mytab=channel

Now on in your hook_form_alter inline js code to select the default tab based on the mytab value that you can get using $_GET.

Let me know if it works for you.

Answer 2

mymodule_quicktabs_alter(&$quicktabs) {
  $quicktabs->default_tab=2;
  return $quicktabs;
}

This works fine.
