Ok, I figured it out... I needed to give myself access in the admin profile section!

Hey, for some reason, when I click to a different tab, it auto adjusts and moves my entire product page....click below to see what's happening....

I dont want this resizing and want my item name to stay at the top of my page. for some reason it drops down when you click on 'production time' tab. anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks!
Chris

That is what is supposed to do by default, since different tabs may hold different amounts of data.

I did, however, post a way to make it static here

(tho the demo is dead now)

You're a frickin lifesaver! Thank you thank you! That is much better....the dropping down thing was driving me mad....static is much more eye appealing...you should hard code that as the default for sure!

Great mod by the way!! Now i can continue working on my site and stop pulling out my hair!!!!

Have a great day!

I guess it all depends on how you implement them. I do like the way you have it, but that wasn't the image in my head when designed... Good thing I made them easy enough to be customized for a multitude of layouts

Ok, I would like to make global changes to custom tabs that I have created, but they don't show up on the tpp config (only the standard ones are there).....is it even possible to make global changes to custom tabs, or do you have to go into each product description to change them?

Thanks again for your help!

It wouldn't be very 'Global' if you had to change them in each product

But if you are making a custom tab to work with the Globals you need to go the whole 9 yards and add it to the global section of the tpp module file and add a db entry for the new global setting.

As An alternative to the database entry, you could instead just set the global to true at the top of the tpp module file, instead of setting it to the value of the db constant.

What changes have you made so far? Its not really hard to make a new global setting, but it does have to be structured properly.

Thanks for the insight! Being new at this, I am unaware how or what to add to the tpp module file or db....are there detailed instructions on how and what to add where? Sorry to be a pain, but I want to make sure I do this right and not screw anything up....

Thanks again!
