Tabbed Home Page Modules

kitten091182:

Hi,
There was a question asked earlier in the thread but it didn't seem to get answered.

What would i have to change in the CSS to get the active tab color to highlight so customers know which tab they are currently viewing? If i put #moduleMenu a:hover {background-color:#2685bf} it changes the color when you hover over it, but i have tried #moduleMenu a:selected and a:active and it doesn't change the color of the selected tab?

Thanks

There are instructions for changing the tab colors in the readme.html file.

Thanks,

Anne

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response. However if you have a look at my site: www.drgreens.co.uk you can see that i have managed to change colors, and have put a hover over colour on the tabs too, however no matter what i try i can't get the currently active tab colour to change. So if somebody clicked on featured, i would like the featured tab to then stay a different colour, likewise if somebody clicked on New Products tab.

I have encountered another problem however which i'm struggling with. When the front page is first loaded, the tab box shows all the products from all the tabs until you click on one of the tabs. Do you know why this would be happening?

Thanks

Ok, I understand. You will have to do this using javascript. Take a look at the includes/templates/override/templates/tpl_index_home.php file.

Thanks! Just found the line i needed to change:

$(this).css('background', '#7eaa30');

Great module by the way :smile:

Ive still got that other problem however, when the page first loads it shows all the products from featured, specials and new. Ive tried taking the reference to it out of tpl_index_home.php but it just doesn't seem to want to stop doing it! Even without the "All" tab on there it still does it. Ive checked against the source code on one of your live demos and i have exactly the same as you in my file, do you think ive maybe got a problem with one of my other files?

Thanks

Thank you for posting your solution so that others with the same question can find the answer ;-)

I would check your index_home.css file to make sure that you have .centerBoxWrapper{display:none;}

Thanks,

Anne

Thanks for the advice. It seems i had changed my html_header.php file at some point and it was affecting my stylesheets being loaded. Its all working now thanks :smile:

Just in case anybody else is having the same problem, i have found the cause to be the "Minify" module that is bundled with Tabbed Products Pro. If you turn off minify in admin under CSS/JS loader then it solves the problem.

Thank you for posting your solution. I will take a look at these modules together to see if I can work out the problem.

I've figured out how to enable/disable the tabs in the centerbox on the main page.

I really would just prefer to have it show an "All Products" tab vs. New or Specials etc.

Is this possible to add a tab like that if it's not showing under configuration>Index listings?

Also where it stands now there is only a "New" tab but you have to click the tab in order for the products to show up. I'd prefer to have all of the products show up there when you load the page & not have to click on an additional link.

Thanks.

See this for changing which tab shows by default:

You can add anything to the tabbed home page modules module that you like. It will require custgom php programming.

Thanks,

When you say custom PHP programming... how much do you mean exactly? Just editing a couple lines of code or creating an entire .php file?

Are there any other easier ways to get the "All Products" page to show up in the center box on the main page?

Thanks.

JohnnyScience:

This code doesn't exist so it has to be created... You will need to have custom code created to add this to the centerbox tabs.. How many lines or what code is needed can't be determined unless someone actually takes the time to write this code.. If no one volunteers to create this then you will have to hire a developer to create it for you..

Not sure right place to post but only one I can find info directly related.
I am using 1.3.9 currently
I have my own template
heavily modified many of the files either for my own or for modules added.

Questions is concerning the tpl_index_default.php file(s). When I have previously tried the install following the instructions, the tabbed module semi loads, but un-useable and other areas of the site go bad...I have traced it down to the file above being the only one that would be overwritten. I am getting much better at ZenCart modification but still really stupid with this type of issue. It appears to be overwriting the file from the Module install.

Should I just merge the two files together? and if so...is there a particular area that I should try to merge the new code in to? Any help would be absolutely fantastic, as I really need this site functioning properly. I am going to be using the Abbington_mega template in the future which has this already, but I am no where near being ready to use it yet.

Thanks Again in Advance.

When first visiting the home page why are no products showing until you click on one of of the center tabs then it loads something instead of having at least one of the 3 tabs always showing some products when first visiting the page?

Thanks.

I see a featured product within the tabs when I visit the homepage.

Yes, if you have already modified the tpl_index_default.php then you will need to merge in the changes from the module file.
