Tabbar. Hide for special buffers. What's wrong with my .emacs ?

Tabbar. Hide for special buffers. What's wrong with my .emacs ?

[Louise Hoffman]

Dear readers,

I have just installed tabbar from
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TabBarMode

and it works perfectly.

But when I add the code to "Hide for special buffers" the tabbar
disappears.

Can someone take a look at my .emacs file, and tell me, whats wrong?

Lots of love,
Louise

Could be some function also does

	(tabbar-mode)

which switches tabbar off when it's on (and on when it's off). In the  
dolist I can see a candidate. Maybe it helps to comment your own

	(tabbar-mode)

statement in your init file or clean the dolist ...

Hi,

If I comment almost everything out, so I only have

;; Lisp modules goes here
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp")

;; Tabbar. Hide for special buffers
(when (require 'tabbar nil t)
  (setq tabbar-buffer-groups-function
    	(lambda (b) (list "All Buffers")))
  (setq tabbar-buffer-list-function
    	(lambda ()
    	  (remove-if
    	   (lambda(buffer)
    	     (find (aref (buffer-name buffer) 0) " *"))
    	   (buffer-list))))
  (tabbar-mode))

I get the same, that the tabbar doesn't show up.

Even with

;; Enable tabbar
(require 'tabbar)
(tabbar-mode)

it doesn't show up, when the "hide" code is there...

Can you make it re-appear manually? (M-x tabbar-mode RET)

I don't understand ELisp that well and I never used that hide  
function – I'll see what I can understand from the documentation!  
Which version of GNU Emacs and tabbar are you using?

If I just have

;; Lisp modules goes here
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.elisp")

;; Tabbar. Hide for special buffers
(when (require 'tabbar nil t)
  (setq tabbar-buffer-groups-function
    	(lambda (b) (list "All Buffers")))
  (setq tabbar-buffer-list-function
    	(lambda ()
    	  (remove-if
    	   (lambda(buffer)
    	     (find (aref (buffer-name buffer) 0) " *"))
    	   (buffer-list))))
  (tabbar-mode))


then M-x tabbar-mode RET disables tabbar. Doing that again, enables
it.

When enabled, I can see the bar there the tabs are suppose to be, but
no tabs. See this screenshot.

I use Emacs 22.2.1 on Linux Fedora 9 and tabbar 2.0. I have uploaded
it at

I can confirm that the tabbar code in the Emacs Wiki does the same  
here. It's obviously faulty – or ...

... it's meant for tabbar version 1.3. I'd comment this on the Wiki  
page.
