Tabbed Products Pro (TPP) Contrib - Official Thread

[DivaVocals]

thanks divavocals,
the fields in question were displaying fine on the product info field that is why I thought they would automatically be included.
Just another thing and i know it is stupid asking this now but when i installed the mod it was just the install files which i copied and merged the product info display file. i know there were other files in the res folder inc css file should i have include this also??

Not sure I understand your question.. (your wording is a little unclear) so let me say this.. Whenever installing mods you should ALWAYS merge any files the mod has in common with those already in your store.. ALL of the files in common.. Not just the ones you THINK might be different. (If they are included in the fileset, then chances are they ARE different than your store files..) You should be comparing ALL files and merging and differences found..

DivaVocals--I did read through the majority of the this thread. I even read the instructions BUT I am lost as far as the procedure.

For example, I see in admin where it should be global or whatever. BUT how do I make custom tabs? What's the coding? Do I make those changes on tpl product display php.

So, if I want size chart...do I put <--Size Chart-->

That's what I think most people what to know as it's just not clear in the instructions for those that are not as experienced as myself.

Anyway, thanks for your response. :bigups

Apples and oranges I'm afraid between what you are asking and the suggestion I posted.. I was addressing the custom TABS questions posted earlier here..

Also I'm not sure that adding additional product details fields to the default product info page is TRULY a TPP support question.. The product details fields are not added by TPP. These fields they are a Zen Cart default.. TPP merely displays them in their own global tab.

You probably really should be searching the forum and looking for posts which speak about how to add custom product details fields to your products info page. Since you are using TPP, you will need to take care that the required mods do not interfere with TPPs required code..

Hi, to create the custom tab you have to insert the coding <!--%Product Description%--> in the product description field under your descriptive text in your admin catalog for each product. I done this so started wondering when there is a lot of products can this code be included in the prod description field using EP i.e. but if it could go one step further and call in the specific field for that tab. . there must be someway around calling in custom fields and its data

If I am following your question then this should help you:

Custom Tags

These are used in the product description area for creating custom tabs with your own text on the tab. The tab text comes from the text in between the delimiters.

Example:
<!--%Product Description%-->
The name of this tab is "Product Description". This is the text on the product description tab.
<!--%Custom Information%-->
This is where the next tab is created. All text from below this tag goes on the "Custom Information" tab.

All text before the first tag will be above the tabs.

Adding this.. you CAN'T use a WYSIWYG editor to add the tab code to your product descriptions..

Hi,

Here is a picture how my tabbed product page looks like.
As you can see the tab name is doubled. There is a sufficient one in the black colour below the tabs that I'd like to remove along with a line below. This occurs on all tabs.
Any idea how to do this?

Thank you.

I wouldn't know! I use cuteFTP with built in editor or dreamweaver!

and my advice stands unless you are using the code editing mode of Dreamweaver.. You CANNOT use a WYSIWYG editor to add the tab code to your product descriptions..

Dreamweaver = Really Fancy WYSIWYG Editor

Well Tabbed Products and Custom Tabs are working on all my sites without issue mostly done with cuteFTP and CSS tweaked with DW. I only use DW when in a hurry, I prefer to hand code :-)

Okay.. let me be clearer on the point I'm making and move on.. You cannot add the tab code in WYSIWYG mode.. You MUST be in CODE/TEXT editing mode.. Even if you use Dreamweaver..
