Tabbed Products ''LITE'' version - Delimiter based

[sfdesign]

Can someone please step me through how to add a tab called backgrounds, that would show all background options for products.
All my backgrounds are in a certain directory and would like the tab to show all the backgrounds in that directory.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

When you say Background options, are you referring to background images that you want shown out of a folder?

You would need a module and a template similar to the additional images module/template that would pull those images out of your specific folder. Unless it follows the normal attribute options. Then by default I have it set to the first tab. However I have been wrestling with ideas to place things on different tabs.

Yes exactly pulling images from a specific folder that would show when you click on the backgrounds tab. By default show small images, but could click to enlarge.

Wow what a contribution, Love it qhome Thank You

Ive installed on a test site but I am having a problem with
my Additional Images Tab. I only get a link to the image
but I would like the actual image on that tab.

LOL

I must say this is one incredible contrib I created.. every week some new, unexpected, unconceivable problem comes up and I'm baffled every time how some of this stuff can be.

I see the image is baron36.jpg & baron36_MED.jpg.

I assume the MED version is in the MED folder. Can you try putting that file into the root images folder to see if that fixes it.

I will look at some stuff over here as well.

We'll get you fixed up :)

^ you assumed incorrectly .. this is where the image is located: http://www.nationalvinylfence.com/im...aron36_MED.jpg

The only thing wrong here is where he or she has put the images :).. at least thats what it seems like

LOL ah yes.. i didnt even bother to notice the rest of the image path when i took a look. I'm unsure how the additional images module handles other folders other than:
/images
/images/med
/images/lrg

Thanks GYGH for noticing that :)

No prob :).. out of curiosity, how well does this play with the IH2 contrib? I haven't had much time to search around and play with it myself.. just trying to set my priorities straight before trying to tackle it.. so much college work !

Thanks for looking guys

I just made several sub-folders in the images folder

med,medium,lrg,large

and put each image in their respective folder.
as well as copies of those same images in the root of images

baron36_MED.jpg
baron36_LRG.jpg

Its still missing Additional Images but as you
see I got the individual "Schematics"tab working.

Not sure why it wasnt showing up immediately for that new tab
but is it possible Im looking too soon?

Thanks qhome and GYGH
and of course the awesome Zen Team

I think you may still be confused about the directory structure of additional images.. so lets see if i can help you out here :)

your original image is located in...
images/semi_privacy/baron36.jpg

So, any small size images should also go into that same folder. Lets say you have 2 additional images, you would place them like this:

images/semi_privacy/baron36_1.jpg
images/semi_privacy/baron36_2.jpg

Note the _1, _2 after the image name. Zencart sees the original image's name as a prefix. OK. Halfway there!

Now you need "LRG" versions of them. if you're already using a decent sized image, you can use them as the _LRG versions as well. Copy them over to this folder:

images/large/semi_privacy/baron36_1_LRG.jpg
images/large/semi_privacy/baron36_2_LRG.jpg

Once you have that done, it should show up correctly
