First of all, let me begin by saying that I love the efficient theme, it looks so crisp!

The question I have involves using jquery to produce a tabbed set of articles in the space where featured content 1 is. I've tried using nodequeues in Drupal to accomplish this, but it doesn't seem to be working. Is there a way I can call a finite list of the most recent nodes posted as "featured content 1"?

For example, let's say I have 4 "story" nodes that I want in featured content 1:

Currently, only the most recent one of those nodes would show. what I want is to have the most recent one show up in one tab, the next most in another tab, the next in another, and finally the fourth most recent one in the fourth tab.

However, if I put a new article in it would then bump all the tabs forward by one (displacing the content that WAS in the fourth tab entirely).

I know you guys are working on a tabbed interface for the Publisher theme, so can you help me out with this efficient theme?

Thanks ,

Imran Malek

tabbed content feature for Efficient Drupal theme

Hi Imran,
Thanks for purchasing the theme. Yes, we are working on a very similar function for the Publisher theme. Perhaps I'll have the developers "port" this feature to the Efficient theme as well. The Publisher theme should be done later this week, but explaining how to transform the Featured block to what you are describing would take some PHP changes, Efficient module changes, and perhaps even content type addition (Tabbed Feature) or similar.

I'll put this in the queue to my team and see if we can port this to The Efficient theme though and update here once it's complete.
