Using Ionic tabs on a side menu page

I am new to the ionic framework and was trying to achieve using the tabs component on a side menu page which works fine but the navigation animations from page to page with the slide-left-right animation declaration don't work.

for e.g. there is a base state (app) which holds the side menu code

.state('app', {
        url: '/app',
        abstract: true,
        templateUrl: "templates/menu.html",
        controller: "appController"
    })

and its loaded into

<body>
    <ion-nav-view animation="slide-left-right"></ion-nav-view>
...

side menu pages are loaded with the parent (app.pageOne, app.pageTwo etc)

I created a tabs template to use on a side menu page with another base state for the tabs

.state('app.tabs', {
        url: '/tab',
        abstract: true,
        views: {
            'menuContent' :{
                templateUrl: "templates/tabs.html"
            }
        }
    })

and is loaded in the side menu view

<ion-nav-view name="menuContent" animation="slide-left-right"></ion-nav-view>

Now if I have a page 'app.pageOne' and navigate to 'app.pageTwo' the slide animations works as expected.

But if I'm on a tab page 'app.tabs.home' and click a link to go to 'app.pageTwo' the nav-bar don't update nor is there any animation transition.

I'm aware it looks like a parent child issue but I just can't solve it, any ideas?

state are as follows eg

login
register
app ____page1
   |____page2
   |____Tabs
          |____Home
          |____Contact etc

page1 animation to page2 works fine Home to page2 doesn't animate (It just loads straight away)

Hope that makes more sense.

        }];
    }])

it took some tweaks but finally worked on my scenario
