Hello,
Can this issue be given some more attention - there is a usability/accessibility implication to the current way that collection tabs are displayed - if you have more than 5 tabs it simply isn't intuitive to users that there are more hidden tabs beyond the default display of 5. My own institution makes significant use of collections for both information pages and student portfolios, and our users frequently miss the fact that there are more than 5 pages available, as the option to display more just looks decorative rather than functional.
Giving site admin the ability to change the default number of tabs displayed at site (or even institution) level would help make Mahara more user friendly.
Regards, Gordon.

Title:
  Admin configurable # of tabs in Collection

Status in Mahara:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  In Mahara 1.5.0-dev:

  *  view/view.php: Line ~#213 – the value hard-coded in this line controls the number of tabs displayed in users’
  collections. Currently set to "5", a 1024x768 screen size can easily accommodate 10 or more. 

  * artefact/file/blocktype/filedownload/theme/raw/filedownload.tpl: Line ~#5 – the value in this line controls
  the number of characters displayed in a file name in a file download block. Many user file names are greater than the "20" currently hardcoded.

  As requested by users, suggest these values might be made configurable
  by the Site Admin.
