Tabbed Products Pro (TPP) Contrib - Official Thread

[bradlawson25]

First, why does the thread search tool not work. I typed in 1.39 so it should bring up every thread which talks about 1.39 but no results. I was trying to find out if the newest version of tabbed pro 1.09 with the auto installer works on 1.39 or if i have to upgrade to 1.50? I read all the issues with the js loader but to get a version that in the plugin download that says works on 1.39 without the js loader i have to go back to 1.6.

So does 1.09 with auto installer or 1.08 work on 1.39?

Thanks,

Brad

No..

Tabbed Products Pro - Version: v1.09
~ Zen Cart v1.5 ready version of TPP that doesn’t REQUIRE the CSS/JS Loader to work ~ Includes SQL auto installer functionality. (There is no need for any external SQL install or upgrade files). ~ The auto-installer will now remove previous versions of TPP from the database completely (including versions 1.06 - 1.08)

Oh how I agree with this part. It is frustrating but you will figure it out eventually......................

[QUOTE=DivaVocals;1199326]No..


I appreciate the quick response. So you replied to just the auto-install so does that mean I can use 1.09 if I manual install it?

If not what version do you recommend for zen cart 1.39? Should I just use 1.07 with the JS loader or revert all the way back to 1.6 before that was added?

Thanks

Brad I'm not as smart as diva never will be but 1.5.1 runs great. I have it on many stores.

v1.09 all the way around isn't compatible with Zen Cart v1.3.9..

I NEVER used any of the v1.06 flavors of TPP.. I have always maintained that the introduction of the JS Loader into the TPP fileset didn't make sense.. It's part of the reason why the original author (qhome) walked away from this module (he as much as said so in a past post here). The JS Loader should have been submitted as a separate module and not bundled in with TPP.. The number of install issues escalated after the introduction of the JS Loader, and the author who did this NEVER provided any support after the introduction of the JS Loader to TPP..

but that's all a thing of the past! Right??

That said, if you are comfortable with using a file merging tool, you should be able to get a JS Loader free version of TPP by starting with the v1.05 fileset. The hint for the files you need to modify to make this version 1.3.9 compatible are in the v1.07 description:

Tabbed Products Pro - Version: 1.07 Updated to files to include 1.3.9 modifications.
~ includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php
~ includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/html_header.php

DO NOT use the v1.07 changes.. To get TPP v1.05 compatible with Zen Cart v1.3.9, you only need to compare the default includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php with the one in the TPP fileset. The includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/html_header.php in the v1.07 fileset was modified for the JS Loader (which you don't want)

Hope that helps..

Thanks, for the response I would have missed that part about 1.07 if you didn't say something. I would have just assumed 1.38 and 1.39 are pretty much the same and installed 1.05 never the wiser.

After hours of searching I cannot find an answer.

I WANT a link in the review tab for Write A Review - I see 1000's of posts to get RID of the button as it is in both places... but in mine. Nope. I either have the button (using Catalog/Product Types) and turning it on or off - no matter what I cannot GET a link to write a review in the tab.

I have tried global reviews on - no link
I have tried global reviews off with <!--#Reviews#--> added in the product area - no link

Have uninstalled and re installed with no luck. Everything else works fine.
Any hints?

Here is an example on my test site

Using Version 1.09 on Zen 1.5.1

[Andy-C27]

I too have been stumped on this problem .But I do think it will be some coding that will need to be placed in reviews to get it to show up there rather than at the bottom

[bubbadan]

I am putting this in here for others who may run in to this problem

If you follow the directions here

http://www.thatsoftwareguy.com/zenca...ate_files.html

it will tell you to put the code in tpl_product_info_display.php
right before
<!--bof Product description -->

in most cases this works just fine. However if you use TPP it will not work

you must put the code at the very beginning of tpl_product_info_display.php right after the first ?> at the top of the page.

in 1.51 it would look like this

<?php
/**
 * Page Template
 *
 * Loaded automatically by index.php?main_page=product_info.<br />

 */
 //require(DIR_WS_MODULES . '/debug_blocks/product_info_prices.php');
?>
<!--bof Product description -->
<?php if ($products_description != '') { ?>
<div id="productDescription" class="productGeneral biggerText"><?php echo stripslashes($products_description); ?></div>
<?php } ?>
<!--eof Product description -->
<br class="clearBoth" />
<!-- bof html description -->
<?php
function html_include_cb($match) {
      $prefix = "HTML_INCLUDE_";
      $match_filename = str_replace($prefix, '', $match[0]); 
      $filename = DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] .  
                 '/boilerplate/' . 
                 $match_filename  . ".html";
      $buffer = ""; 
      if (file_exists($filename)) { 
          $handle = @fopen($filename, "r"); 
          while (!feof($handle)) {
              $buffer .= fgets($handle, 4096); 
          }
          fclose($handle);
      }
      return $buffer;
}
if ($products_description != '') { 
   $pattern = "/HTML_INCLUDE_[a-zA-Z0-9]*/"; 
   $products_description = preg_replace_callback($pattern, "html_include_cb", 
           $products_description, -1);
}
?>
<!-- eof html description -->

Hope this might help someone.
