Adding a new tab. Confused by documentation

[PlanetUnknown]

Just cloned the basic_project and trying to customize by following
this - http://pinaxproject.com/docs/0.7/tabs/#ref-tabs

Created a new app "myapp", added the new tab to the right_nav and
edited the "site_tabs.css" as well.
However when I click on the tab, although the page does change to
myapp, the background color of the tab doesn't change.

This line in the documentation - "Create a myapps/base.html template
that all pages under that tab will extend. Make sure it defines a
block body_class with content myapp" is confusing me.

What is that "body_class" mentioned ? The code of the myapp page is
pretty simple right now -


{% extends "site_base.html" %}

{% load i18n %}
{% load ifsetting_tag %}

{% block head_title %}{% trans "Custom App page" %}{% endblock %}

<div class="myapp">
<h1>{% trans "Custom App page" %}</h1>
{% if user.is_authenticated %}
<p>You are signed in !!</p>
{% else %}
<p>You are NOT signed in !!</p>
{% endif %}
</div>


Any pointers would be great. Thanks.

I would switch from 0.7 and go right to the 0.9a version. I've seen it
used in many production applications and it is what powers
djangopackages.com.

There, the tabs thing is just plain easier:

Thanks Danny,
But again, this sentence is not clear - "Make sure it defines a

block body_class with content myapp"

Does it mean I have to have a "<DIV>" tag with "class" defined as
below -
<DIV class="{%block body_class%}{%endblock%}">
And even if that is correct, what is "with content myapp" ?

If memory serves, it means:

<DIV class="{%block body_class%}blarg{%endblock%}">

Where 'blarg' == 'myapp'.

Hope that helps!

Thanks. That worked.

Actually I did this, which is pretty close to what you suggested -
{% block body_class %}myapp{% endblock %}
Thanks again.
