automatic tabbed detail view

It would be great to see an option such as "Display tabbed detail view" at the table level.

To control when a new tab is created, I would include a field option "New tab name". If the option is not empty, start a new tab using the option contents as the tab title.

I think this would be a convenient way to control the detail view with tabs.

It would also eliminate the need to do this via hooks with appende jquery etc, and move the handling into the generator.

Hi - first post :)

I agree - this would be a really useful feature. It might not even be necessary to have an option at the table level, as simply having any field with a "tab name" filled in could automatically generate a tabbed DV. I've managed to successfully follow the hooks tutorial to create tabs, but it would be so much easier to do it directly in AppGini!

Just as an idea :idea:

I remember someone here in the forum suggested to modify the AppGini treeview to show the tables grouped by tablegroup.

Maybe additionally it would be nice to have the treeview in AppGini like here:

So we could model tabs below the table. If there is only one tab, perhaps AppGini should not render a TabStrip but show the fields as it does now.
In case there is more than one tab, AppGini could render the TabStrip and the fields within the tabs according to the model.
