Creating new product types help :(

Hi There,

I am currently rebuilding our zencart site from scratch so I can incorporate some more of zencarts features. One of these is making different product types, I have tried making a new product type and have followed a few different guides. I feel I am nearly there. The problem I am having now is that some of the css doesnt seem to be working and also the language file does not seem to be applied. e.g instead of the heading for the description I simply get TEXT_DESRIPTION

You can see an example here:
http://kitchen-warehouse.com/index.php?main_page=product_handles_info&cPath=1_2&products_id=1

any help?

Thanks,
Daniel

Re: Creating new product types help :(

You're calling the product type "product_handles" ...

Did you create the file /includes/languages/english/product_handles_info.php that contains those definitions?

Re: Creating new product types help :(

I did have that created, My problem was there was an override in the template folder which had the extra definitions in!

This has fixed the problem with the language file. The only problem now seems to be that the css isnt working a little. I have made a test product using the normal product general:
http://kitchen-warehouse.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_2&products_id=3

You will notice the tabs at the bottom of the page, on the page I linked before these tabs are not working, any ideas on that one are well appreciated!

Thanks,
Daniel

Re: Creating new product types help :(

That's an issue with your setup of the Tabbed Products Pro plugin; I'd suggest that you review the files that are present in /includes/modules/pages/product_info and compare them with the files present in /includes/modules/pages/product_handle_info as a start.

TPP, to my remembrance, also includes css files for each product type; did you copy /includes/templates/mars/css/product_info.css to the product_handle_info.css file in the same directory?
