Hi Q,
Sorry about that, in my version of 1.3.0.2 you will see exactlly what I mean.
The pic will be larger and would like the text to align to the top right. The pic being on the main tab along with add to cart and ask a question like that which I had setup previous to 1.3.7
Hey Q, got another question/request
Is there a way using the admin version with globals to allow for some sort of intro text before the tabs.
If done the long way and one uses the manual method for tabs all is fine, but a quick way to allow an intro flyby or text box that is non tabbed gives a nice touch.
Once again you can see this sort of effect on my previous build prior to 1.3.7
Maybe a balloon option where the intro text becomes a tag cloud so to speak.
It could have css control as well with a css image driven highlight or balloon or whatever one would drive into the css.
If a tag cloud, one could use it to SEF advantages as well.
Ok, figured a round about way to achieve text above by turning off the main tab. I tried using the stop parsing for text to tabs but it did not work, the text just dissappeared. As it states in the readme, this text should show below the tabs.
Not so in my case so not sure if I did that right. But point is I in this case prefer an intro heading that I've somewhat managed to arrive at now.
One thing that I'd like to change would be that if you use the title blocks would be to allow it to be contained outside the main container.
This way, one's content in the tab could be padded with out touching the title block as this allows the tabs to be an enity as well as the title block and main container.
There's lots of ways to move stuff around, unfortunately its near impossible with the current template system to do everything. I had originally planned some additional layouts based on the product_type system, but notice there is no current (easy) way to edit a product's product type. The way I had it planned was to modify the Quick_updates contrib and add the fields for product type as one of the options to change.Quote:

So hopefully they have some plans coming soon on better ways to do this, for now you can manually move the code around but there are 80 million different ways to move stuff around and I'm only one man :P
Did you get around to trying the 1.3.6 version of easy with tabs ?
I could not get it to work as mentioned so I reverted an older version of Easy Rollovers and it works.
I have an issue with IH though. The zoom feature of a product image does not work in a tabbed container. Would you know why or what would be the fix for this?
I'll install the rollover today and check.Quote:

I'm trying it out now on a core install of ZC 1.3.7 and its not zooming that image. I'm pretty sure I remember reading that was not supported.
Ok, well at least won't break my brains over that...
I tried many flavors witht eh new easy rollovers 1.3.6, but it was driving my template crazy. So, I tired the older version and bang, worked like a dream and no java errors and still validates.
Let me know how you work out as well. I used the custom template base install for 1.3.7 and built from there using overrides and such. I only dropped in one product to get it to flow right, then the rest will follow. So far, it looks good from my opinion with some little things to adress to make it upto where we want it.
IntelCos. There was a bug in the Easy Rollovers v1.3.6 Contrib. I fixed it and reuploaded the file to the downloads area. Read more about it HERE
It should work fine with Tabbed Products Lite now.
Hey Q,
When I built this the first round om 1.3.02, I did not need to mod anything to make the text flow down along the right of the image as you can see from the test active site in the previous posts. I alos used the non-admin version of tabs which was the only difference other the the versions now.
So, there has to be a quick way to do this, I did a compare on the files from 1.3.0.2 and 1.3.7 and there are so many changes I don't really know where to start.
As you can see at what I'm trying to do is that the main tab uses a large image as with all products they will hold the same ratio.
Thus, the big space that is now in the 1.3.7 needs to go and I want that to look like it was on the 1.3.0.2 build up.
So, any clues would be a welcomed.
Also, I'm not sure that update fixes all the issues in regards to the rollovers. Will see, but after getting it to finally work with all the reverts, not sure I want to got a round 3 on this.
