Tabbed Products Pro (TPP) Contrib - Official Thread

HI, I uploaded TPP Pro to zencart 1.5 and it appears to be working, except that I am not able to to see admin/configuration/TPP
Is there any work around to show in admin/configuration so that I make adjustment. I have checked the database and everything seems to be place.
Would appreciate any help, thanks

Re-posting the same question multiple times (and in less than 24 hours to boot) is not helpful nor is it going to get you an answer any faster..

As I said previously to my knowledge NO ONE has looked at the TPP code to evaluate it's v1.5 readiness. There is A LOT MORE to making mods v1.5 ready than simply getting them to register in the v1.5 admin.. Many of these mods will require some core changes to work properly with v1.5 and that my friend is a LOT MORE than simply getting it to show up in the admin menus.. Showing up in the admin menu doesn't mean it will WORK with v1.5..

Until someone in their FREE TIME takes a look at the TPP code to determine exactly what is needed to make it v1.5 compatible, there just isn't going to be a FAST answer for your question just yet I'm afraid..

If you are in need RIGHT NOW, then you can consider hiring someone to update TPP for you.. Otherwise you will need to show a little more patience.. eventually all of these mods get updated as soon as someone has time and a need to update this and a desire to share the updated code..

Sorry ...
I was trying to ask a general question that if a contribution appears to work but is not showing in the admin area was there a work around. Guess you have answered the question.
I am not in the habit of duplicating questions, support Zen cart by making the occasional payment contribution. I appreciate the fact that people use their FREE TIME.

It's not a general question at all..

b) rewriting all forms to use the POST method instead of GET whenever those forms trigger UPDATE statements of any sort into the database. GET parameters should only be used for things like filters, and even then they need to be sanitized. In fact, the other part of form rewriting is that ALL inputs need to be sanitized before use.

If you don't do those things then your admin won't show the menu options, and even if they did they might be non-functional because if the forms aren't rewritten and sanitized then all updates will just redirect you to the admin home screen instead of doing the action required/expected..

Wow, I hadn't even thought to look at that file :oops:

THANK YOU for that.

Hi Divocals

I totally agree with you on what you are saying about the V1.5 readiness of the module, I also understand that if one has to read through 168 pages of forum it can get a little tedious to find if the module will actually work on V1.5 or not, would it be coreect for me to assume that if it were compatible the listing under free software add ons wouyld say so ?
In the meantime i do have everything working except for the config part but i can modify enough to show the tabs i want and make it work for me.

Great forum otherwise got lots of info lately.

Given that v1.5 was JUST released, and this 168 page thread is over 3 years old, there wouldn't seem to be a need to go through the ENTIRE thread to just get v1.5 compatibility information now would it??:smile:

You are correct.. when this mod has been updated for v1.5 compatibility, the contributor will indicate this when submitting the mod in the free add-ons.. However I need to stress ONCE AGAIN, that getting a mod to appear in the admin menus doesn't mean that it will work, is secure, or is PCI compliant. ALL of these variables must be addressed when add-ons are updated to work with v1.5
