I've been playing around with customizing Vector a bit. I'm particularly 
enjoying the inclusion of jQuery; as a newbie to JS it makes many things much 
easier than they might be otherwise. I've run into a problem that I'm not sure 
how to work around, and it seems a general enough problem that I figured I'd 
ask about it here; I hope it's on-topic enough. :P

If one adds a tab to the p-views tab bar, one gets a harmless but annoying 
"$settings is undefined" error from plugins.combined.min.js (specifically, the 
Collapsible Tabs code). If the window is resized in such a way that tabs should 
not collapse, and the new tab does not have the "collapsible" class, the error 
repeats. If the window is then resized such that one or more tabs are 
collapsed, nothing new happens; the new tab will be collapsed iff it has the 
"collapsible" class. If the window is further resized so as to allow the 
collapsed tabs to uncollapse, the error repeats indefinitely. This is very 
frustrating for people who want to customize Vector.

As far as I can tell (again, JS newbie), the collapsibleTabs JS assigns some 
sort of data to each element, settings data that lets the rest of the code put 
things back into place nicely when it's done. How can I (assuming I can) assign 
this data to tabs to be added to the p-views tab bar or otherwise avoid* this 
error? (*No, simply putting/leaving things in p-cactions defeats the purpose.)

Placing extra tabs in the tab bar can be very convenient—for example, one of my 
scripts moves the "delete" tab out if there's an element on the page which uses 
one of the classes used by enwiki's deletion templates—but the errors are quire 
undesirable. Thanks for any help you can provide, and I'll be sure to either 
write up my solution, or point others to existing documentation in future, if 
you can point out the gist of it for me.


Thanks,
Nihiltres
