Tabbed Products Pro (TPP) Contrib - Official Thread

[DivaVocals]

And I do need to clear something up.. I misspoke when I stated the following:

Changelog:
Added three new misc tabs. These tabs each have a corresponding Define Page. To use, simply activate the tab from the TPP admin and then edit the corresponding Define Page to add content to the tab. (and YES you may use the TPP shortcodes inside the Define Page if you are familiar with how to use the TPP shortcodes)

To upgrade you will need to login to your admin, upload the newly added and modified files, and click any link in the admin to activate the installer. DONE! You will see the setting in the TPP Admin to activate the new tabs.

You will NOT in fact be able to use TPP tabshort codes on the new tab define pages. I misspoke when I wrote this, and NO I have no plans to try and get TPP shortcodes to work on the new define page tabs... So before anyone asks, the answer from my POV is that I have no interest/plans in adding this as on further reflection I don't think there is any real VALUE to adding this feature. The new define page backed global tabs IMHO adds a useful feature to what is already a VERY useful add-on..

10/10/2013 - v1.10 (Release) - C Jones

• Tidy up the TPP module
• Cleanup and include more info in the readme and Global tabs docs
• Changes to support the addition of three Define Page backed global tabs

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

Wanted to also take this opportunity to re-cap TPP's features. (I'll be requesting that the admins allow me to submit an updated add-on description)



Now I want to clarify a few things about TPP.


Let me first say this, Kuroi's concern about the golden rules of e-commerce are TOTALLY on point..

However, to be clear, by default the following global tabs related (mostly) to the informational aspects of the product page are activated when TPP is first installed:

• Product Description
• Product Details
• Additional Images
• Customer Also Purchased
• Product Reviews

These additional global tabs (mostly related to the transactional aspects of the product page -- attributes, add-to-cart, upsell) are also supported, but OFF by default:

• Main Product Image
• Add to Cart
• Attributes
• Add to Cart ON the Attributes tab
• Cross Sell (if the Cross Sell Plus Advanced Sell Combo is installed)

To further quote the very wise Kuroi, TPP was originally built under the premise to "keep it light, make it flexible, offer all the options, and hope that people use them wisely". That said while certain tab configurations shop owners might use may not follow the golden rules of e-commerce, the default options for TPP certainly do. After that TPP offers enough flexibility so that shopowners can use it in a manner that works best for their shops/preferences.

Carry on..

The issue is not caused by TPP.. it looks like your customizations to the product_info page are the cause.. you have moved the product title, and pricing so they are a part of the product details tab. Whatever these changes are have caused the issue you have..

when i turn this off Global Main Image On Tab it puts it back on top of tabs and is fine.

Right.. I have been able to replicate the result you were getting..

Enabling the main image inside the main tab is NOT a feature of this module that I have ever used, nor is it one I would use in the future ESPECIALLY now that I see how it works..

Putting the product image, title, and price within the main tab is a bad idea.. The minute you click on another tab, product information that should ALWAYS be visible is hidden.. This is contrary to some of the golden rules of e-commerce..

TPP was originally built under the premise to "keep it light, make it flexible, offer all the options, and hope that people use them wisely". That said while certain tab configurations shop owners might use may not follow the golden rules of e-commerce, the default options for TPP certainly do. After that TPP offers enough flexibility so that shopowners can use it in a manner that works best for their shops/preferences.

I assume the original author added this feature in it's current form because someone asked for it.

Hi,

I have recently upgraded my Zencart to v1.5.1 and update my Tabbed Products version from Tabbed Products Pro v1.07 to Tabbed Products Pro v1.10. Since then I have tried various things but my tabs have disappeared and only display as links regardless of which stylesheet I use which you can see here.

I'm not sure where I am going wrong but am going round and round in circles. Any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks.

Can see your shop so can't help you either without guessing (which I won't spend much time doing.. fix your site so we can see it) but it sounds like the stylesheets were not properly uploaded or you did not follow the upgrade instructions with regards to the old stylesheets and still have those stylesheets in place.. or the issue could be with the CSS/JS Loader which was bundled in with TPP v1.06 - 1.08.. You can try turning off the CSS/JS Loader and see if that fixes the issue.. the CSS/JS Loader is no longer a part of TPP and so therefore can't help you with CSS/JS Loader issues..

Hi,

Thanks for coming back to me. I am currently taking the shop up and down, hence the reason you are sometimes unable to vie

I have followed the upgrade instructions but will take another look at the areas highlighted thank-you and see if I can find something amiss.

Thanks.

Hi,

I am back to where I started now, the shop being viewable at http://www.buyandfit.com/shop7141/in...products_id=13

As far as I am aware all old files have been removed. However I am unsure how to turn off the CSS/JS Loader so would be grateful of some pointers.

Many thanks.
