    If I am understanding your question then attributes are what you are seeking

    No, I am not looking for attribute. When you go to your add a product page in the Admin area. At the bottom is where you enter your Weight. I want two extra fields for Materials & Dimensions.

    You might start with this - it states that it add only one text field but you could alter it for two and it also states that it can be used with tabbed products which I believe your template is using

    Also, you might review this as it allows for additional text based on "tags" entered in your product description

    You might not need the first addon at all

    Ok, I tried both what you have discribed and it looked horrible. Take a look at image below. I don't want separate tabs.
    in detail tab what I want is as follows:
    Materials: Iron
    Dimensions: 4" x 4" x 8"
    Model: 10017357
    25 Units in Stock

    So, if understand correctly, were unable to apply either plugin to insert additional information into the single tab. From the picture don't see what is "horrible". If the information makes it to the page then the look of it can be modified using css... if the info doesn't make it there, well then that's a completely different issue. Read-only attributes could provide the same information for which you are looking, but not sure with the "tab" system where they will be presented.

    Do I really have to use Tabbed Products Pro if I am using Products Extra Fields mod?
