Re: Tabbed Products Pro (TPP) Contrib - Official Thread
Hi guys.
I have installed TTP 1.08 on ZC 1.5 and everything is perfect... almost
I'm trying to get main image and Description in one line just above all the tabs.
Attachment 10371
I don't really understand if it's something to do with TTP or do I have to dig deeper???
Thanks in advance.
Re: Tabbed Products Pro (TPP) Contrib - Official Thread
No disrespect to Design75 at all, but I have put together (and will be submitting) an updated version of TPP that doesn't REQUIRE the CSS/JS Loader AT ALL to work. I've managed to get an auto-installer working with it too.. I'll be putting a copy up on my own website for folks to download and test if they like.. I'm working on updating the readme and some uninstall scripts, and I'll get this submitted this upcoming week..
IMHO, the CSS/JS Loader should NEVER have been latched into this add-on. It adds NO FUNCTIONAL VALUE to TPP. (with the minor exception of allowing the shopowner to set the TPP stylesheet in the admin instead of editing the TPP stylesheet)
There was never really anything wrong with v1.05 of TPP. It was stable and worked perfectly. When the v1.06X flavors of TPP were submitted, the original author of TPP stopped actively (and was vocal about it) supporting this mod. TPP v1.06X's most significant "change" was the inclusion of the CJ Loader app. Otherwise there was no REAL reason to install v1.06X at all..
IMHO the CJ Loader app should have been submitted as a separate add-on and not "stuffed" into another mod with no REAL benefit to the mod itself..
Kuroi summed this up best here:

So all that minification feels like it ought to be a mod in its own right rather than an addendum to the TPP. And the associated html_header changes have the potential to clash with other plugins, several of the free templates and most commercial ones.
On a functional level, I don't like the way that by default the add-to-cart button seems to be hidden inside an inactive tab ... goes against all that we know about e-commerce conversion - but I'm sure that can be changed.
Those are the reasons why I, personally, would hesitate to use it. But equally there will be circumstances and people for whom it's a good approach.
Any shop owner who WANTS TO install the CSS/JS Loader should feel free to download it from the Numinix site if they so desire. But hitching it onto TPP when it doesn't add any additional core TPP functionality is what has been problematic with every TPP release after v1.05.
Re: Tabbed Products Pro (TPP) Contrib - Official Thread
Hello all, what a great addon, though I've run into a snag. I also figured out that I needed to add the CSS/JS Loader in order for the tabs to work. However, after I loaded it, I can't log into my admin side anymore. When I go to http://store.precisionma.com/administrator/ it just shows a blank page in FireFox, and in I.E. I'm getting a 500 server error. Any ideas??
Update: Interesting, when I removed the administrator\includes\auto_loaders\config.css_js_loader.php file everything popped back up just fine!

This module shouldn't NEED the CSS/JS Loader to work.. It adds nothing of value to the intended functionality of this add-on (making tabbed content out of the product detail pages).. **SMH**
Re: Tabbed Products Pro (TPP) Contrib - Official Thread
I've got none because the issue is a a result of issue with the CSS/JS Loader, and you will need to ask about the CSS/JS Loader on the Numinix forum. Your post is another PRIME example of why I will be submitting a version of TPP which does NOT require the CSS/JS Loader..

I'm guessing you haven't had a chance to do this yet as I couldn't see it on your site, I for one would appreciate a TPP that doesn't use the css/Js loader.
I couldn't understand why my install wasn't working, until searching the forum I didn't realise it requires the loader to function.

I haven't had a chance to update the readme for the updated version.. (sorry about that:blush:) I will put it up on my site tonight sans the updated readme so that folks can get the "un-encumbered" version now..
Re: Tabbed Products Pro (TPP) Contrib - Official Thread
Once I finish the readme and the uninstall SQL, I will be submitting it to the free-downloads next week (God willing and the creek don't rise..).. In the meantime, I've got this version available on my website.. Once it's available in the free-downloads, it will no longer be available on my site.

Thanks for taking the time, downloaded!
Re: Tabbed Products Pro (TPP) Contrib - Official Thread
I have the latest installed for Zencart 1.5 and have the TPP config in my admin control panel. But I am not seeing anything as far as adding them to a product. I followed the install file. I am not sure what I am missing. When I look at the product add page in the admin panel, I cannot find where I add the tabbed feature. And when I look at the actual products' page, no tabs appear.
I know this makes me look like an idiot, but I am a woodworker/hardware guy by trade and learning this as I go. Any help here is greatly appreciated!
