    Default Tabbed Products ''LITE'' version - Delimiter based

    *** LATEST VERSION AVAILABLE HERE:
    http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=146

    ==============================


    So finally one of my zany ideas goes well. I finished version 1 of the Tabbed Products "LITE" for those who would like to use tabs, but don't want to add any new tables to their database and move all their products over to a new product type.

    This "LITE" version is actually more advanced to some degree as it isn't limited by the amount of tabs you can have, where as the full version only added one new database table for extra stuff. This version uses a DELIMITER from the actual product description to create a new dhtml tab. PLUS you can change tab count and tab names for each product!

    For every new tab you want, you simply format it like this:
    Code:
    <!--%Tab Name%-->
    Also, because I'm using the <!-- to start the delimiter, The HTML ignores the ugly tag so you dont see it on the product page and I think that will prevent the froogle feed from generating the tag in the description as well.

    An example product could be:
    <!--%Product Description%-->
    This product is great because it saves you time and money. Order today and get started with this terrific invention. We are sure you will not be disappointed.
    <!--%Detailed Specs%-->
    Size: 10x10x10
    Shape: Square
    Color: Red
    This will make 2 tabs and put the respective text on that tab.

    I've also added the option to include the Additional Images as a tab or as normal by editing the template file.

    I need to quickly add some code to prevent tabs from showing if no tags are set in the description, so it will act like normal if you don't want tabs for a certain product.

    I will post the contrib in the downloads section tonight after I test a bit more.

    I will try to get a demo of it too.

    Here is a demo site to check out the tabs

    http://www.unbannable.com/zen/index....=index&cPath=1

    This demo shows tabs and non-tabbed items. They both use the same template layout, but one description has the tab tags added when i added the new product, and one does not, showing how you can decide what you want from the description

    Cool qhome. Yes knowing how the integration of the tab code into the product description will impact Froogle and RSS mod feeds would be useful info.

    Whomever finds out first please post your results ;-)

    Just exported a froogle feed with EasyPopulate and it worked! No tags :) just the full text :)

    hey dont worry about the look of the tabs, we are all going to have to modify them to our sites anyways. just worrk about making them as css based as possible. I know I know you are already doing that. but really that is all we need.

    Default Tabbed Lite v2 questions -- moving things around

    I have got the Tabbed Lite template set up on my site and I love just about everything about it. In running through and adding some test products I noticed something I havent been able to correct.

    When using the Tabbed Lite set up it forces my 'Add to Cart' box, 'Tell a Friend' box, 'Write a Review' box and the shipping weight, stock and manufacture info down to the bottom of the page. I have been searching everywhere to try and correct this.

    I found out how to control the width of the tab box that has focus by adding a width statement to the css in the following:

    .ditch-tab-skin-default .ditch-tab-pane-wrap {
    position:relative;
    z-index:9;
    border:1px solid silver;
    padding:8px 15px;
    }

    I just added a width statement to that and it changed the width but had no affect on the placement of the affected items above.

    I then went into the tpl_product_info_display.php file that is provided with Tabbed Lite and found the following there:

    starting around line 240

    echo '<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">';

    There were a few entries like that and I tried changing them individually with no luck. I dont know if I need to change all of the entries as well as change/remove the style="display:block; statement that accompanies each of the divisions that contain the table statements above.

    I love the Tabbed Lite template but I dont know what to do about the items that are forced to the bottom of the page. It would seem its possibly a CSS thing, but Im not sure what to look for.

    Ive tried doing my homework and checking as best I know how and Im at a loss so Im hoping someone here has an idea of what to do. The 'Tell a Friend' and 'Write a Review' parts I dont care if they are at the bottom, but I really would like the 'Add to cart' and the shipping and stock information near the product information.

    If anyone has any ideas or has/is using this template and knows what to look for I would greatly appreciate some assistance. Thanks everyone.

    EEP! you are using version 1.x of TabbedLite.. I'm not even sure where you found that . The tab system is actually completely different now in version 2.x and 3.x. I don't support 1.x any longer. Please completely remove the version you installed and install the latest 3.6AE version. That should fix your problems as well. Download it from the link in my signature.
