Can't offer any tips on global custom tabs.. It's been asked a lot around here, and you should search through this WHOLE thread to see if you can find the answer you seek.. In the meantime what I can offer is some out of the box thinking about how to add custom tabs to EVERY product without global tabs..

I came up with a way for my client's to create products where the same custom tabs will be used over and over again without messing with the global tabs..

I created a "product template" for my client. This is basically a dummy product with most of the default settings used for all (most) products.

This product will remain inactive, and I usually give it a sort order of 1 so it appears at the top of the list. Then when I need to create a new product I use the product copy feature. I copy the "product template" product taking care to make sure the new product is a DUPLICATE and not a LINKED product. Edit the new product, and save..

Done.. HTH..

my problem is that i have a shop with nearly 400 products and there is two custom fields and are completed like the rest through easy populate. but these two fields are not called in under the product details tab when I installed this mod. I thought there may be some way of editing the tpl_tabbed_product file under modules to call in these fields under product details. I do not want to over-complicate the process but there must be a way around this.

Apples and oranges I'm afraid between what you are asking and the suggestion I posted.. I was addressing the custom TABS questions posted earlier here..

Also I'm not sure that adding additional product details fields to the default product info page is TRULY a TPP support question.. The product details fields are not added by TPP. These fields they are a Zen Cart default.. TPP merely displays them in their own global tab.

You probably really should be searching the forum and looking for posts which speak about how to add custom product details fields to your products info page. Since you are using TPP, you will need to take care that the required mods do not interfere with TPPs required code..

Hi everyone,

I have tabbed products pro 1.07 installed. I have a doubt about new tabs created, so any explanation about that would be appreciated.

I'm using an automatic feed to update product details including product description. Now I'd like to create a new tab by typing <!--%Custom Tab%--> in a description field in admin area with technical details about a product. These details would be entered manually.

I wonder if I run the feed is the new tab going to be rewritten, actually removed, considering the tab will be created within description field?

Many thanks.

thanks divavocals,
the fields in question were displaying fine on the product info field that is why I thought they would automatically be included.
Just another thing and i know it is stupid asking this now but when i installed the mod it was just the install files which i copied and merged the product info display file. i know there were other files in the res folder inc css file should i have include this also??
