Tabbed Products Pro (TPP) Contrib - Official Thread

[ilsita]

I have an update.

I just deleted and reinstalled TPP, and it seems to be working now. My website didn't disappear this time, and everything seems to be in order...

I am so sorry that I can't offer a solution to anyone else who's page went blank, because I don't know what, if anything, I did differently. But, I can tell you exactly what I did:

1. uploaded the files into the "include" file in the "admin" file in my store. (Any files that didn't exist in the "include" file, I uploaded the whole file.)

2. changed the YOUR_TEMPLATE name to the name of the template I'm using, and uploaded those files to their respective places.

Now, I did that the first and second times I tried to install. The first time, the formatting of my website went all haywire. The second time, the website disappeared altogether. I must have done something wrong the first two times -- I wish I could tell you what.

Update #2: Turns out my product page is now blank.

Update #2: Turns out my product page is now blank.

I think that is caused by tabbed_products_pro.php.

There are two files with the same name...

make sure the one in languages folder goes to

\includes\languages\english\extra_definitions (and check the file size)

then make sure the one in Modules folder goes to

\includes\modules (check and match the file size)


the files both share the same name, but are different sizes...I had this problem as well, I fixed it by correcting this mistake.

not sure if it'll work for you, but worth a shot. :)

Honestly I don't know enough about this new version to provide any more useful suggestions.. I understand there is some new functionality built into this mod to help improve site performance.. I haven't personally had a chance to test it to be of any real help.

I did the downgrade to 1.05 and it works. I can't seem to get the attributes and modules to appear on the tabs, but its a step in the right direction.


Thanks for all your help! :)

Hi Himmell, Thanks! I gave that a shot, but everything looked fine in there. Back to tinkering! I clearly just don't know what I'm doing.

I did, however, manage to lose everything again.

Tabs won't display inline in IE. I wasn't having this problem before. Anyone know how to fix it?

I figured it out. In IE the #slidestabmenu and .tabcontent need to be set to 100%, while in FF a width of 100% would result in either the tabs showing BEHIND the mainImage, or below it. FF the width needs to be set to 50%. Any suggestions? I am not sure why there is such a huge discrepency.

For new users trying to get tabbed products pro working, use the older version, 1.5 (tabbed_products_pro_v1-05.zip). 1.6 and later versions are all out of whack, the install instructions don't match the files in the module.

Hopefully will save someone several hours of horsing around with 1.6.

I cannot get Tab Products Pro 1.6 to work on my site. Shoot, I can't even get ver 1.5 to work! I have been trying for over 30 days now. I have uninstalled and reinstalled so many times , thinking one of the installs would grab, but nope, it never showed any tabs. In the admin, I have several options set to true (1). I have installed the sql file and all files for the store part uploaded and still . I have read and re-read the instructions many, many times. Now, I have them memorized. Perhaps, I'm not understanding the instructions?!?

I am not sure what to do at this point. Quit and not install it? I don't think so! What am I to do now? Can someone please help me with this situation I've created or not understanding?

The tabs I want to show: description tab, additional images tab, reviews tab.

progroom dot com/shop

As it now stands, I have the latest version 1.6 reinstalled.

ZC ver1.3.8
MySQL 5.0.81
PHP Version: 5.2.9 (Zend: 2.2.0)

I've no experience with using this module but taking a quick peek at your site suggests that it indeed is working ...at least in part:

progroom dot com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=488_547&products_id=616

(shows tabs for me - using IE 8)

I noticed some of the other products do not show tabs ...so i'm guessing its an incomplete application of the module code to your templates?

Hope this helps...
