Help with MyBlog tabs function

Im having problems getting the tabs in the MyBlog template to position properly or show dynamically.

The setup:
1. Tab 1, Tab 2, and Tab 3 are enabled.
2. My photos, My Videos and Latest Posts are enabled. They are configured to show, respectively, in Tabs 1-3.
3. Site is loaded with demo data, so the tab content is present and published.
4. Site is at: http://dnadropbox.com/jm/

Discoveries:
1. There is no module position named \tabs\ in \module positions.\ This is verified in this link: http://joomla1.0.youjoomla.info/myblog/ (the \Module positions\ tab).
2. To me, the lack of a module position to display Tabs 1, 2, 3 only leaves me with two choices: Tell either the \Tabs\ or tell the \My....\ content to display in Advert2, which is where it is on the demo site above.
3. When I put the \My....\ blocks in Advert2, the tabs show, but dont expand/contract, and I cant get them to display in the order I want.
4. Manually positioning individual tabs in the Advert2 position is like trying to hold mercury. The best I could do is display them in this order: \Latest Posts\, \My Photos,\ \My Videos\ and \Advertise Here.\ What I wanted to do was this order: \My Photos\, \My Videos,\ \Latest Posts\ and \Advertise Here\ (just like the demo).
5. Regardless of where they are now -- the tabs are static; meaning they do not expand/contract dynamically.

My attempts at solutions:
1. I have read everything having to do with \Tabs\ in the YouJoomla forums, and have found nothing to tell me how to do what I want (see above). It has been nearly a week, and I cannot figure out how to get these tabs to work properly, and am about to ditch them altogether.
2. Perhaps I am missing a module to make the tabs dynamic?
3. Should I buy more brain cells from Sears?

Any help appreciated. Ive run out of ideas.

what you did is placed modules in right advert2 position instead in tab1 tab2 tab3, and you need to publish accordion module to get desired effect ,
see this here

http://joomla1.0.youjoomla.info/mybl...d=18&Itemid=58
look at the accordion module setup image

where it says user1,user2 you write tab1,tab2,tab3, and publish the modules in tab1,tab2,tab3 module positions.

Accordion module need to be published in advert2 position and tab1 -tab5 need to be published on All pages

I will have to wait until I can buy the Accordion module. It didnt come with my download (if it did, I cant find it).

Here are the current settings for Tabs:
1. (Tab 1) Position: tab1; Order: 0::Tab1. Enabled; public
2. (Tab 2) Position: tab2: Order: 2:: My Videos. Enabled; public
3. (Tab 3) Position: tab3; Order: 0::Latest posts. Enabled; public

Here are the current settings for the \My...\ blocks:
1. (My Photos) Position: tab1; Order: 2::My photos. Enabled; public
2. (My Videos) Position: tab2; Order: 2::My videos. Enabled; public
3. (Latest Posts) Position: tab3; Order: 0::Latest Posts. Enabled; public

Is there something wrong with this configuration? Now, none of my tabs show. Please forgive me if I \dont get it,\ but I really dont.

the key is Accordion Modules, it is a commercial product and does not come with the template shop demo as advertised. You setup is ok but you need ACC Mod to show additional module positions. We have Thanksgiving special. Join the club and you can get all our products and Club members demos that come with all additional modules

Thanks for the info. Then I am not going crazy without reason.

Sadly, the Thanksgiving special wont help me. I dont get paid again until Dec. 1 or so. But thanks for the offer. Its the economy, you know.
