Hello, Let me start by saying, "I am new with ZC". My site, although not live yet, it is getting close. I'm using 1.3.8a/Server is PHP 5.2.5/Ty Package tracker 2.3a/Tax ID field 1.0/zen_bck button creator.
I have created my own template matching the look of my main website and everything has worked wonderfully. I recently installed TPP 1-06c and I immediately lost my template formatting, and my background has defaulted to white. The tabs feature does not work. I have only loaded 3 items to test, and now their pictures won't display when clicking on the item.
I triple checked my installation against the instructions and confirmed the install in the admin/config panel. I installed the cj_loader_install.sql & TabbedProductsPro.sql files. I also compared all file sizes after the installation.
Can anyone please guide me to what I possibly did wrong? To no avail, I tried removing the tpp.css file to see if there was a conflict. Has TPP bypassed my template?
I am very humbled by ZC and having to ask for assistance. I have a lot of respect for those of you who have been at it for any length of time. Thank you in advance.
Jahan

Please Help v1.2
Well, I uninstalled all the files except the .sql patches (I don't yet know how to do that), and it appears that my site is back on 2 feet. After poking around and testing, I can't yet find any permanent damage, although it's probably waiting until my confidence recovers until it presents itself!
What an ordeal!
One of the culprits may have been the html_header.php. Before I did a complete uninstall, I removed that file and got back about 75% of the site. Evidently, I didn't get the winmerge/beyond compare "memo" until it was too late! Lesson learned.
Could it have been a css issue? a java issue? I have no clue what happened or why it didn't work. Any help, or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Jahan
You've already answered your own question.. You should NEVER install ANY module without comparing the module files to your current site files and merging any changes BEFORE you upload the module..Quote:

Telling a child who falls down, "See what happens when....." does nothing constructive and teaches the child nothing. It only serves one's own ego.
VERY UN-ZEN-LIKE!
In this case, and in many hundreds more when new users seek assistance with this software in a polite and humble manner, they are responded to in a condescending fashion.
We all must crawl, then walk, before we can run.
If you re-read my post, it clearly states, "Lesson learned." So, if you or any other member has any helpful advice, I am all ears. If you just want to say, "See what you get!", that may be better suited for a teenie-bopper blog.
Although it is harder to be a leader than a detractor, it is much more satisfying.
Sincerely, Jahan
You asked a question, I gave you an answer, and you decided that I was trying to intentionally hurt your feelings.. (and then decided I needed a lecture on your perception of my answer) If you chose to interpret my post the way you apparently have, then I will not WASTE any time trying to un-do your perception.. You are entitled to your opinion even if it's incorrect..
You asked "Could it have been a css issue? a java issue? "
Answer: No the issue is unlikely to be a Java or CSS issue. It is MORE likely that you need to make sure that you merge the modules files with your own site files so that the module changes are integrated with your site code. Try THIS and see if you continue to have errors.

After reading maybe 200+ posts in varies threads, I've noticed a fair amount of unwarranted "sniping" and condescension on behalf of some of the ZC "elite". If someone doesn't make sufficient efforts to solve their problem, then i understand. I am way past my deadline for my shopping cart and just need some answers.
In all seriousness, I spent no less than 4 hours digging through folders, files, code, and this site trying to figure my issue out.
ZC should come with a warning label that reads, "Not For Beginners".
Does anyone have an opinion on which code comparing software to use?
Thank You, Jahan
It is indeed a steep learning curve, and initially the layout of the folder and how everything is linked made no sense to me... but it all starts to come together slowly. Using the "Developer's Toolkit" inQuote:

hi zenners! i am so loving this contribution!!
i'm having a little trouble with the sub_attributes tag, and wonder if anyone can help me.
i'm using the following code:
------------------------------------
<!--%About%-->
Product description here
bla bla bla
it's so great
<!--*sub_AddToCart(1)*-->
<!--*sub_AttributeOptions(1)*-->
<!--%Ing's & Storage%-->
____ contains: ings and contents
bla bla bla, store it this way, etc.
<!--*sub_AddToCart(2)*-->
<!--*sub_AttributeOptions(2)*-->
----------------------------------
there is also an 'add to cart' tab.
the problem is that, while the attribute drop-down menus are showing up on each of the custom tabs i've created above, they are not functional. when you choose size ABC and flavor XYZ and press add to cart on the 'about' tab, the product that's added to your cart has only the default attributes.
the attributes on the 'add to cart' tab work fine.
i wish i could show you in action, but i'm going to have to spend 3 hours undoing all the work i did last night, so that my customers can choose product attributes tomorrow. but i'd really love my site to work in this way so i'd love some troubleshooting if anyone has any ideas.
thanks!!
just an addendum: the quantity boxes on the custom tab aren't working either. i choose 2, add to cart, there is 1 in the cart. curious!
