Amazon.com tabs

[Angel Devoid]

Hi,
I thought there was a forum for this but I guess it was taken down or something.

I have a client that is dead set on haveing the navigation tabs like on amazon.com built into his site. Aside from the ajax thats being used on amazon.com he simply wants them to have show main catagories such as ATV's, 4 wheelers ects. I can build the same look into the header image but then it wouldn't act the same way or be intereactive when clicked on (when clicked it brings the tab to the front)...

SOOOO... I'm looking for either a contribution thats already created or a designer that can duplicated that same look. I am totaly willing to pay for this so PM me and we can talk.

Oh and if this is in the wrong area please feel free to move it.

Thanks
Angel

I know of a designer working on exactly this at the moment and have emailed him to draw his attention to this thread. Exactly how it looks however (e.g. coming to the front when active), would depend to a great extent on how you chose to style it with CSS.

Another Joomla member pointed me a os commers contrib that does the exact same thing. I am attempting to contact him to setup payment to port it over. Once its completed I will donate it as a contribution. Thanks.

Also, reesy please email me at info at trinitymicrodesign.com your pm box is full.

I submitted a contribution to the Zencart downloads section a few days ago which will do exactly what you want with the categories tabs. I do not think it is available for download yet but I am sure if you ask Dr B nicely he will chase it up for you.

The contribution will need adjusting within the CSS stylesheet to make the tabs look as you want them to and I can think of nobody better with CSS styling than Kuroi. Please keep me posted if you make any changes to it so I can update the formal contribution and extend its functionality.

PS - Thanks Kuroi for pointing me to this thread.

Hope this helps

I have installed your contribution for tabs on a brand new install of 1.3.5
In firefox my centre column is now off to the right - out side of the header and centre shop area.
In explorer my centre column is in the right place but I do not get the roll over happening on the tabs.

Any light on the matter welcome.

Thanks

This mod was designed and tested on 1.3.2 so it is probably an incompatibility with something in 1.3.5.
