Tabbed Products ''LITE'' version - Delimiter based

Few issues I've noticed...

One was that if you created a product but do not use tabs yet globals set on a java error is generated. Once you inset at least one tab, then the java error is gone.

Second, trying to set the borders to use images and cannot seem to get this to work.

example border-top-image:url(../images/bordertop.gif); which is standard css entry and fails to show the image. Yet if I set the border to a pixel def only a border works. I tried to set the border as well to "wave" to see and that fails as well. Dots or solid lines work...So not sure whats up there either or what I'm doing wrong???

Can anyone please tell me how to rearrange the code so as to move the tabs to the top of the product description like found here? I would really appreciate your help.

Set your $bGblMainImageOnTabs = true

it is set to true

Hi bhuntsman,

Where can I see an example of where you are using them? Are you using the "book product type" for your listings?

Also same issue as woody.... "adds Main image to tabs only if you have at least one custom tab" did you set one?

Ideasgirl-

THis is not my issue. You should not have to set a custom tag for the globals to kick in, EXCEPT if you want the main image to appear on a tab. Please reread my previous posts for clarification. I think we should wait for Q the expert to chime in on these issues. Thanks.

qhome,

is it possible to use my own image for the tabs with the label already on it? For example, i will have an image with the label Product Details so it won't have to be done automatically by the script.

if this is possible, how do i get it to work? as far as i see it, the labels are generated by the <!--% %--> script. Do i just change this to the destination of the image like what you do with the sideboxes header?

He's the expert indeed, but I only help when I know what I'm talking about. There aren't issues here, only people asking questions I know the answer. There are 2 options, try it or wait. I'm not giving wrong information.

If you read the script history you will see (your point):
7/17/06 :: fixed and merged Add to cart, Attribute Options, Product details (Stock, Model, etc), and Qty Discounts. Now all on same tab.

but.....then (my point):
7/26/06 :: Moved Product Details under the Price. This seems a good out of the way, yet informative place for this info.

Yes, but that's only for hardcode tabs (Add to Cart, Additional Images, Customers Also Purchased, XSell-We Also Recommend) and now they will only appear (doesn't apply to add to cart) if they have something to show.

What other items you are refering to?

EXCEPT if you want the main image to appear on a tab.

So.... we agree on this one right? That means I'm not giving wrong information.

The above items have no relevance on the issues being discussed now.

Where is this documented? That is, why globals will not work for the Main Image and other items, when a custom tag is not added. What is the logic behind this?

Any. That is items that would normally appear on the same tab, e.g. price, attributes, Add To Cart, product details and qty discounts.

It's not a matter of "agreeing", it's a mater of understanding. And I don't understand why the globals are not working as they should be.

Again I will wait for Q to clarify. No need to respond further. Thanks.

I originally posted this in the wrong forum category, so I'm now posting it here since this seems to be the appropriate thread for my problem.

I would really appreciate if one of the ZC gurus (or anyone with an answer) could offer a solution to my problem. I'm in the final stages of developing a new site utilizing the future_zen template (modified) + tabbed lite + cross sell + customers also purchased. I finally (after many hours of frustration and fiddling) got the layout to look the way I wanted http://www.learningbydvd.com/newstor...roducts_id=918, but the "We Also Recommend" and "Customers Also Purchased" tabs are blank and they should each show products on this page...it's useless having the tabs if nothing will show up when clicked on.

I'm trying to get my new site "live" by this weekend and could use some assistance if anyone is willing. I'm sure I've over looked something in the code, but I just can't seem to sort it out to get something to show up under those two tabs.

My tpl_product_info_display.php is too large to post here, but I would be happy to e-mail it to anyone willing to look it over and give me some feedback.

Thanks in advance for everyone's time in reading this post.
