Using Tabs or Accordion modules won't allow me to display multiple templates holding pods fields

[mikexavier]

I posted this in the slack channel for pods, and Jim suggested I put it down here.

I'm trying to add a tabs module with 3 tabs. Each displays a saved template built with beaver builder. In those templates I'm using multiple HTML modules to display custom pods fields.

eg.

<div>
<img style="width:30px; line-height:30px;" src="http://ticino-adventures.local/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/ticino-adventures-biking-ascent.svg">
<span style="line-height:30px; vertical-align:middle; padding-left:5px;font-weight:bold;">[wpbb post:pods_display field='ascent']</span></div>
[/wpbb-if]

[wpbb-if post:custom_field key='descent' exp='equals' value='true']
<div style="padding-bottom:15px;">
<img style="width:30px; line-height:30px;" src="http://ticino-adventures.local/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/ticino-adventures-biking-descent.svg">
<span style="line-height:30px; vertical-align:middle; padding-left:5px;font-weight:bold;">[wpbb post:pods_display field='descent']</span></div>
[/wpbb-if]

[wpbb post:pods_display field='trip_description']

I can add one template, to one tab no problem. As soon as I add a second tab, add the second saved template, it stops working.

I see the following in console: "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0" on line 1 of http://ticino-adventures.local/fl-theme-layout/activity-detail-page/?fl_builder.

If I deactivate pods, it works no problem, I can add a few tabs, all displaying saved templates.

Any ideas?

thx!

NOTE: since posting and doing some trial and error, I found a work-around. If I disable the pods plugin and themer integration plugin, then set up the tabs module exactly how I need it. Include shortcodes (instead of adding via native integration), to the templates I'd like displayed... then activate the pods plugins again, it works. BUT if I go to adjust anything, it breaks.

Doe's it work if you use only field connections from BB like post title or their custom field connection? not sure this is entirely pods related ...
