I'm trying to make some tabbed blocks with Tabpane (http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/tabpane/tabpane.html).
I've got it working like a charm (testsite: (http://www.boeken-winkel.nll) but would like to integrate it a little bit in GL. For now I'm using a block with an empty blocktemplate filled with the required HTML and Javascipt code, but it would be nice if it could be used for portal blocks and php blocks as well.
Tabpane uses named tabs like "tab-page-1" and "tab-page-1" to identify the tabs and content. The block-name field would be perfect to use for this names, how can I put the block-name in the blocktemplate? The tag {block_name} or {bid} doesn't do the trick.
If somebody could help me out it would be possible to make blocktemplates for the first tab named "tab-page-1", blocktemplates for the next tabs (named tab-page-2, tab-page-3 etc ) and one for the last.

I dug 'em up.
But its been awhile since I've looked at them.
as an example though - I recently made a theme which uses yahoo's lib to render movable/draggable blocks.
In short I needed someway to name each block element dynamically:
eg. blockheader-left.thtml
<script language="javascript">
<!--
var el = strip("{block_title}");
document.write("<div id=\""+el+"\">\n");
document.write("<div class=\"hd\"><h2>{block_title}</h2></div>\n");
document.write("<div class=\"bd\">\n");
myPanel = new YAHOO.widget.Panel(el, { width:"180px", visible:true, constraintoviewport:true, underlay:"shadow", draggable:true, close:true} );
myPanel.render();
//-->
</script>
needed a function to strip spaces and apostrophes from blocknames:
function strip(str)
{
var ret = '';
for (i = 0; i < str.length; i++)
{
if (str.charAt(i) != ' ' && str.charAt(i) != '\'' )
{
ret += str.charAt(i);
}
}
return ret;
}

@suprsidr: Thanks very much, but I'm simply looking for a way to produce the block ID in the blocktemplate, the tabbed interface is already finished.
But I realise there's another way: I'll make some blocktemplates with a hardcoded fake block ID, and use the functions.php in the theme to use these templates for the corresponding block ID's. I want to use 2 sets of 4 tabs, so that's a piece of cake.
EDIT: I'll make a tutorial and release the files when it's ready and running.
