Hi all,

I've made some adjustments (with help) to my Control Panel to add in fields for the various Extended User Data I'm using.

I've found that since I've add many more lines to the controlpanel/useredit.aspx file, some of my tabs don't show, or don't show correctly.

I've added one extra tab in, but now, the "Site Options" tab doesn't show. Also, the Ban tab shows, but there is no content in it.

Is there a limit to what you can show in the Control Panel?

Are you still facing this problem Daniel.  I tried accessing the rar file you linked to but it wouldn't allow me to access it.0

I suspect you'll find that you missed a closing tag somewhere which was causing the page to play up.

The file should work now. If you do have a spare 5 mins, could you look over the code? I didn't see any missed closing tags...

  <TWC:TabbedPane runat="server">
   <Tab><CP:ResourceControl runat="server" ResourceName="CP_UserEdit_Tab_Ban" /></Tab>
   <Content>
    <table cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" visible="false" runat="server" id="userBanSection">

Try removing that visible="false" tag fromt hat table and the one below it in the Ban seciton and you should be able tos ee the Ban tag.

As for the Site Options tab not showing, I'm stumped as there's absolutly no signs of the tab when I do view source after accessing your page.  What happens if you move the Site Options tab elsewhere in the tabbed panes, does that do anything for you?

By changing the order, different tabs disappeared. E.g. the ban tab would disappear.

Strange one - a bug perhaps?

Return to the order you had earlier, then try inserting a blank tab above Site Options

  <TWC:TabbedPane runat="server">
   <Tab>BLANK</Tab>
   <Content>BLANK</Content>
  </TWC:TabbedPane>

It sounds like there may be something somewhere that's saying hide the Nth tab, so if you add a blank tab there, hopefully it'll hide the false tab, and leave all the others visible.

Well... you're absoultely right!

I put in a blank tab before site options and all the original tabs, plus my new one, show.

So I have 8 tabs in code, and CS2007 shows tabs 1-6 plus 8 - therefore hiding tab 7.

Very weird bug!
