Should I be able to hide and show tab links in portals as action steps?

Its not working for me. They hide and show in my user login but when logging in through portal looking at same tab group they dont hide and show.

thanks

Hi Ben,

Yes, you can hide and show tab links in a portal with actions. One way to do it is in the OnScreenLoad action set. On the screen designer, click the Advanced... button in the top left corner and skip to Step 2 of 5: Actions. From here you can choose the OnScreenLoad event. The action you want to use is called Show/Hide Tab Link. I just tested it and it seems to be working fine. Is this what you did? Can you give me a little more detail of where your actions are placed?

I had already added the action steps in OnScreenLoad. Like I said they work when I am logged in as a user, but they dont work in the portal.

Is the portal in an iframe on your website? I reported the same issue when viewing the portal through an iframe a couple of weeks ago and it was submitted to the developers.

Yes it is, glad I am not going crazy.

Hopefully this gets fixed soon. Need it to work.

Thanks Matt! 

This issue was in fact reported. When I have an update I'll post it here.

Great, glad I am not loosing my mind

Hows this looking? I need to go live soon and without the ability to hide and show tabs I will need to redesign how my portal works which will be a pain.

thanks

Hi Ben, 

Our team is still working on a solution for this. Unfortunately I can't give an estimated time as of yet.

Hi Ben, 

I received an update about this case. Our dev team spent some time on it but unfortunately will not be able to fix it at this time. I apologize if this causes any inconvenience.
