  To implement a dynamic tab navigation system in a Blazor Web App using the LeptonX theme, while ensuring full theme integration and localized tab titles, follow these recommendations:

  1. Integrate Tabs at the Layout Level

     • Place your tab navigation (e.g., Blazorise RouterTabs) in the main layout (such as SideMenuLayout.razor), not inside the @Body.
     • This ensures that each tab renders within the complete ABP/LeptonX layout, including header, footer, breadcrumbs, and toolbars.

     Example (simplified):

  @inherits SideMenuLayout
  
     <TelerikRootComponent>
         <div id="lpx-wrapper">
             <MainHeader />
             <div class="lpx-content-container">
                 <div class="lpx-topbar-container">
                     <div class="lpx-topbar">
                         <Breadcrumbs />
                     </div>
                 </div>
                 <div class="lpx-content-wrapper">
                     <div class="lpx-content">
                         <RouterTabs>
                             <!-- Tab content will be rendered here -->
                         </RouterTabs>
                         <ContentToolbar />
                         <PageAlert />
                         <LayoutHook Name="@LayoutHooks.Body.First" Layout="@StandardLayouts.Application" />
                         @Body
                         <LayoutHook Name="@LayoutHooks.Body.Last" Layout="@StandardLayouts.Application" />
                         <DynamicLayoutComponent />
                         <UiMessageAlert />
                         <UiNotificationAlert />
                         <UiPageProgress />
                     </div>
                 </div>
                 <footer>
                     <Footer />
                 </footer>
             </div>
             <MobileNavbar />
             <div class="lpx-toolbar-container">
                 <MainHeaderToolbar />
             </div>
         </div>
     </TelerikRootComponent>
  

  • Adjust the placement of RouterTabs so it wraps or coordinates with the @Body and other layout elements.

  2. Ensure Routed Components Use the Layout

     • All routed pages/components should inherit from the same layout (e.g., SideMenuLayout).
     • This guarantees that when a page is rendered in a tab, it includes all theme elements.

  3. Localize Tab Titles

     • Instead of using the raw route or component name, fetch the localized display name for each tab.
     • Use ABP’s localization system to retrieve the display name for each page. For example:

  @inject IStringLocalizer<YourResource> L
  
       <RouterTabs>
           @foreach (var tab in Tabs)
           {
               <Tab Title="@L[tab.LocalizationKey]">
                   <!-- Tab content -->
               </Tab>
           }
       </RouterTabs>
  

  • For ABP built-in pages, use their resource keys (e.g., "Menu:TenantManagement").

  4. Dynamic Tab Management

     • Maintain a list of open tabs in a service or state container.
     • When navigating, add a new tab with the correct localized title and route.

  5. Alternative: Custom Tab System

     • If Blazorise RouterTabs cannot fully integrate with the ABP layout, consider building a custom tab system:
       • Use a shared service to track open tabs/routes.
       • Render each tab’s content using <RouteView> or <DynamicComponent>, ensuring each uses the correct layout.
       • Use ABP’s localization for tab titles.

  6. Reference Implementation

     • See the official LeptonX documentation for layout customization:
       LeptonX Blazor Side Menu Layout
     • Review the related support discussion for practical integration tips:
       Customizing LeptonX Theme to Support RouterTabs in Blazor

  By following this approach, you ensure that each tab renders with the full LeptonX/ABP layout and displays localized titles, providing a consistent and integrated user experience.

  Hi

  Override the layout file is the right way. You can ignore the AI’s answer.

  Thanks.

  I have already overriden the layout file and replaced the @Body with the <Div Class="layout"><RouterTabs /></div> as described in the Blazorise documentation. The RouterTabs component captures the navigation of the pages and renders the page components into tabs. The problem is that the Toolbar is not part of the Body of each page, and thus it is not rendered inside the tab. Also, RouterTabs get the type of each page and place its name in the tab name.

  hi

  Toolbar is not part of the Body of each page, and thus it is not rendered inside the tab.

  You can move the Toolbar component inside <Div Class="layout"><RouterTabs /></div>

  You can also rewrite all components by downloading the LeptonX theme source code.

  Thanks.

  The <div/> does not have any significance. The body of any page is rendered inside the <RouterTabs/> component. Unfortunately, <RouterTabs/> does not support layout sections inside it. It just renders the page's body.

  Rewriting the LeptonX source code or providing a custom layout would not help as the ABP pages expect any layout used to contain a Toolbar section. I could rewrite all the ABP pages to place their toolbar inside their body, but I would like to avoid that.

  Besides that, the RouterTabs component expects an attribute in each page to provide the name of the page. The ABP pages do not have this attribute and thus the RouterTabs component uses their type name as the name.

  Do you have an alternate suggestion to RouterTabs or a workaround to the above problems?

  hi

  I don't have many suggestions. You can rewrite and replace all components and layout pages, and it should not prevent you from implementing it.

  Thanks.
