    Default Tabbed Products Contrib [WIP]

    Ok, I've successfully got a tabbed products set up working, complete with admin backend and frontend. But I'm a bit confused on how to add this with Zen-Magic to the admin side because there is no templates folder like the frontend has.

    So I had to make edits directly to "collect_info.php". How would I go about doing that properly ? Since there is no direct menu link to products.php, and it can only be reached by clicking on "add new product" or clicking on an existing product in the categories selection, it seems that I am forced to rewrite products.php to at least point to a new collect_info.php and a new update_info.php, as both of those required query changes. Also had to add a function to "functions/general.php" for "zen_get_products_description_additional", how would i do that with ZenMagic?

    I've added a new field to "products_description" table called "products_description_additional" and Ive got it set to the second tab. In total, I've been trying to follow other tabbed sites and so far I've gotten:

    Product Description | Additional Info & Specs | Additional Images | Customers also bought

    The front end I used zen-magic on so its in my own template folder, but still since it is a modification, I am unsure how to make it work any other way besides forcing people to replace their products_display_info.php file in their template folder. Is this the proper way?

    WIP frontend Demo
    I plan on improving the tab design, but a lot of it is css so it should be decently easy to modify.

    Multilanguage support: YES
    HTMLArea/FCK support: YES

    I made sure to encapsulate the full code with each tab.

    As you've already noted, there aren't any override capabilities in the Admin section. So you just have to overwrite the original files (your collect_info.php being a good example).

    Don't try to replace it with a differently-named file - it just means more work and having to overwrite other files to point to them correctly.

    For the extra function, you can make a separate file for it and put it in the admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/ folder rather than modifying a core function file.

    An assumption is what you arrive at when you get tired of thinking...

    Q-

    Make this a new product type!!! Then you can change the collect info and anything else associated with creating a product- and NO CORE FILE CHANGES
