Tabbed Products Pro (TPP) Contrib - Official Thread

[jabbawest]

There are plenty of CSS alternatives for changing the look of the tabs, however, if you want a clean look then change the background every CSS in the TPP folder to transparent.
Then change the text color to match, or stand out from, your current CSS.

Example for alt_tpp_tabs6.css (line 49)
Change the entries in red.

.tabcontent {
-moz-background-clip:border;
-moz-background-inline-policy:continuous;
-moz-background-origin:padding;
background:white none repeat scroll 0 0;
border-bottom:1px solid;
clear:both;
color:black;
display:none;
float:left;
width:100%;

Could someone give me a little help adding a tab?
I have Wish List v0.4 and I'd like to add a tab that will take customers to /index.php?main_page=un_wishlist


Thank you

So I have a clean install of 1.3.8
The only thing I have added is captcha_using_ttf__gd_2-9. That works fine. I then added
tabbed_products_pro_1-06c.
It is half working. I have the controls within admin and also see the default 3 tabs to the 6 test products I have on my site (products were created before mod)
When either I attempt to edit one of these 6 products or create a new one I get a blank page when I hit PREVIEW. No error cods nor any page code what so ever.

I searched here and via Google for variations of:
Tabbed Products Pro TPP blank page preview white screen not uploading
but didnt find anything.

Hope someone can help.

I dropped the entire site.
Reloaded. Installed the .5 version and it works 100%.

Not sure what all the stuff in the .6 version is but
there is no load time issues or differences in my site with this mod.

I have installed tab pro andit worked great until I looked at my log in/registration/checkout pages. They are losing the css formatting when they get displayed. I have narrowed the issue to the html_header.php file. The file supplied with my template works normally but the file supplied with the tap pro distribution screwsa up the pages. I checked the code and there are lots of differences, especially in the way the css files are loaded.

I am using a purchased template that like I said works perfectly until that one file is replaced. Any ideas?

Never Mind I figured it out. For anyone else, you just need to add the the following code:

$files = loadCssJsFiles($css_files_to_load, $jscript_files_to_load);
foreach($files['css'] as $file)
if($file['include']) include($file['string']);
else echo $file['string'];

foreach($files['js'] as $file)
if($file['include']) include($file['string']);
else echo $file['string'];

Just before the debug section at the bottom of your original file. Not the file that came with the tabpro distribution.

For future reference the correct way to do this for any module/add-on you install is to use a program like Winmerge or Beyond Compare, and merge any changes between the modules files and your store files.

I know you are saying "Isn't that what I did??" Yes it is, but Winmerge or Beyond Compare helps those who may be code challenged (or even those who aren't) to SEE that the code goes in the correct location. You can see your store's original file and compare it to the module's file. Both programs clearly highlight the differences and facilitate the merging of the code process..

This is handly for you to know as many modules could overwrite existing store files.. Some mod authors will let you know when there are files that overwrite core files. For those that don't I always make a habit out of comparing ALL the module files to my existing store to look for file overlaps before I install. I use Beyond Compare to merge any changes between my store and the module files, then I upload the modules with the merged files.

The likely issue is that your host is not running PHP5 which is required for any version of TPP past 1.05.

I am at a loss here... am hoping someone can help.

How do you stop the tabs from resizing? i have dug through all of the CSS, is this hard coded somewhere? I want the tabs to stay the same size!! :)
