I have just added this to the CVS for the next beta release
of version 4.0

I don't have the skills. It shouldn't be too time consuming
for someone that does. Could someone *please* do so? I've
tried, but can't figure it out.

In the file "individual.php" of the latest 3.x.x version,
about line 912:
var lasttab = "";

function switch_tab(tab) {
lasttab = tab;

the var "lasttab" exists, but nothing seems to be done with
it.

Near the end of the file is the line below, which should do
what we need:

switch_tab(<?php print $default_tab; ?>);

perhaps:

if $default_tab == 99 {
switch_tab(<?php print $theLastTab; ?>)
}
else {
switch_tab(<?php print $default_tab; ?>)
}


I know only a little about PHP and almost nothing about
javascript. Can someone provide the code to
assing "lasttab" to a session cookie and then make it
available as (or assign to) a php var ("$theLastTab", e.g.)
that we can if/then against $default_tab?

We can worry about adding the user config option later. It
could probably just be stored as tab 99 for example (0-4
are currently used for the existing 5 tabs) and add the
text "Same as last tab visited" to the drop down
menu "Default Tab to show on Individual Information page"
on both the user config page and the GEDCOM congif page.

I never realized that annoyed me until you mentioned it.
I would second the request (and will work on becoming more
self aware).

I can see this being useful during editing, but I don't
think that most users would want this functionality. We
could include it as an option if you wanted to code it up.

Making it work would require using JavaScript to set a
session level cookie which could then be read by the PHP
code to load the page.
