Tabbed Products ''LITE'' version - Delimiter based

[nick80]

Another idea crossed my mind that I'd like to get some feedback on...

But my proposal above would be
<!--%Tab1%-->
<!--%Tab2%-->
<!--%Tab3%-->
<!--&AdditionalImages&-->
<!--&ProductDetails&-->

This would make 3 tabs and have both additional images and product details on the same tab which you named "Tab3". This would allow combining of multiple sections into one tab.

I like this one. Good point. Maybe you can also delicate a tab for Manufactory / Author.

Great contrib...Is there a way to move the tabs up the page, currently they are too low on the description page.
Thanks

Hi Pete,

You can edit the tpl file and search for <br /><br /><br /><br />

you can remove some of those to move it back up.

qhome, this is great work you're doing here! I haven't had the chance to test it but I frequently check this forum as well as your test site.

I was wondering...when this is all said and done, how easy would it to migrate the code changes from the general product template to music product type template.

The reason I am asking is because that's where I see the most benefit for me. For example, take a look at this page which is based on music product type: http://www.clevershoppers.com/index....products_id=82 I would like all the descriptions to be on one tab, the track listing to be on another tab, customer purchased and cross sell to be on another tab. This would be consisten for all the music CDs and DVDs.

What's are your thoughts?

Thanks!

Well it would actually be quite easy. I am not totally familiar with the music product type yet but either way its really not hard to get to work on any product type. I can probably do it for you in a day.

I'm going to look at the other product types and see what changes I would need for them and I'll get back to you.

can someone advise how to get 'additional images' to display above the tabs?

I'm too intimidated by tpl_product_info_display to start hacking without some help first...

thanks


nice contribution that really adds a lot

[wasana]

I ended up doing a little cut & paste on tpl_product_info_display.php

in place of the spacers (br tags) located just aft of

//########## Tabbed Lite Message##########
//#
//# Added these br tags here to shift ...#########
<br /><br /><br /><br />

I pasted the

<!--bof Additional Product Images -->
blah...blah...blah
<!--eof Additional Product Images -->

and after some additional moving around of other
<!--bof xxxx -->
blah...blah...blah
<!--eof xxxx -->

it worked out great

additional hint: if using IH2 - and you want the additional images to align evenly take advanage of the IH 'canvas' function by sizing 'small' images in admin/config/images with a ! and choose a background color, for example Small Image Width 100! Small Image Height 100! IH small image background 227:227:227 - this will put small images centered in the background, making them align...

I still have a bit more space above the tabs (below additional images) than I would like, and I can't figure out how to make the tabs text bold - would appreciate suggestions.

bold text

since editor wouldn't do it, simply added font-weight : bold; to CSS

this contribution has made a huge impact toward improving my site, thanks.

BUT.. the jscript 'investment' is high at over 32KB... is that normal?

This loads on the first page of my site too, is there anyway to reduce the size of the script and/or get it to load only on product info page?

THANKS

[mediathing]

Even when not using any tabs the script loads on index page...quite heavy but looks great when used right.
