Summary: Tab links have junk in them

Initial Comment:
Tab's links have "/view/media/" prepended by default - seen on live 
http://ccmixter.org/ atm, and openfontlibrary.fontly.org (first grey DIV at 
the bottom)

For OFLB, this means we'd prefer to hard code our tab list than generate it 
automatically, because we want our key documents to have great URLs

Message:
Moved this to 'feature request' because it is 'by design' up until now, not
really an operational bug.

the wiki doc
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Cchost/customize/Navigation_Tabs
explains the model and that's pretty much how it's going to work.

There are two work arounds:
1. mod_rewrite your 'great URLs' to the /view/media versions
2. The code that renders the actual tabs are nuetral to the tab system
saved in config by the admin screens. That means you can forgo the admin
screens navigation editing and populate the structures manually from code. 
This document
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Cchost/guide/Troubleshooting#Variable_Dumps
describes how to dump a page's variables. Look for 'tab_info'

This document
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Cchost/developer/Hooking_Page_Render
describes how to hook every page before rendering 

You can overwrite 'tab_info' with whatever you want. Again, this will make
the admin screens for nav tabs useless but it sounds like that may be ok
for you.
