Tabbed Products Pro (TPP) Contrib - Official Thread

[molywerks]

You're right, Diva. I've been meaning to do it for two years! But with eight mods I track, I've got over 1500 pages of posts to read. The Search feature should be able to suffice but it is definitely lacking power.

Forums have always been limited by their inefficiencies. One of these days somebody will develop forum-wikiware that allows mods to more easily "clean up" topics and separating wheat from chaffe without losing the chaffe so to speak.

Is there any way I can make Tabbed Products just hide the button

This is a HUGE limitation of TPP that needs to be addressed. Javascript has been on my list too long, but it got moved up in priority when I installed TPP this past summer/fall. Should be getting to it come spring/summer. I'll get in touch with the mod dev if I make it so far to having a solution.

If you want just the Reviews button to appear, it shouldn't be too hard at all if you look at some of the lightbox image mods and convert the code for use in TPP.

Does anyone have an answer to post #1046 ?

Thanks

[molywerks]

Great roovatar, gaffetape! This is pretty easy IIRC. I did it and can answer later today when I can plugin my webdev hard drive and look at my hacks.

Sorry to others, this should have been a PM.

Which mod dev?? The original author walked away when version 1.06x of TPP came into being.. (He kinda said as much too in the support thread) The last author has posted in one of his mods that he is on a sort of hiatus from supporting any mods he has written, and I'm not sure he's ever taken on actually supporting this particular module anyway..

How can I add text to specific tabs. For example say I want to add 'If you have any questions regarding 'Product' please contact us' at the bottom of the Details tab. How can I do this?

These instructions are for TPP 1.05 since TPP 1.06 kept crashing the site and/or conflicting with other hacks/mods. I imagine 1.06 does not differ much if at all for simple, custom content.

1. OPEN includes\modules\tabbed_products_pro.php
2. FIND [FONT="Courier New"]$fmtDOT = '<div style="width:100%;">' . "\n";[/FONT]
3. EDIT*

*For each line of code you want to add, simply insert a new line containing [FONT="Courier New"]$fmtDOT .= '';[/FONT] (after/before the other appropriate fmtDOT lines of code) and put your new HTML content between the single quotes. Skills sets will vary, of course, but it should be pretty self explanatory.

If you have custom data and tabs to add, the hacks necessary are way too numerous to go into detail, but it can be done.

Which mod dev??

Oh, I was unaware TPP had been abandoned.

Oh, I was unaware TPP had been abandoned.

That's why I always advise folks to read the full support thread.. You will see where all the bodies are buried..

[molywerks]

Right you are but I like to count my chickens when they hatch...

IOW, I prefer the passive approach of running across a dead body. I fear with my history of karma that I would find a zombie -- Brains! -- in an active search.

...and mix/mangle my metaphors.

Please help me. I installed TPP.

I added Description tab and CustomTabb with "Add to Cart" as sub-addcart. How come when guest enter 20 units under Description or CustomerTab (Feature) it Add to Cart shows only 1 unit? If I entered 20 units under "AddtoCart" Tab then it is ok.
Could someone please help me?
