Anyone with specific recommends on how to put the Ask A question mod button on:

1. either it's own tab;

-or-

2. on a pre-existing tab (custom or global).

I was able to this in previous TPL versions but not the latest v.3.8 (running Zen Cart 1.36). Thanks.

Woody

To be it's own tab wouldn't be worthwhile since I can't load the form unless the user is logged in. So you would really only need the button. And I would think the most logical location of the button would be next to either the add to cart button, price, or near the product details area (model #, stock level, etc)

So if you are planning on having your add to cart button off the tabs, you could place it in the tpl_product_info_display.php file right above or below the <!--add to cart box --> zc tags in the code. Or you could add it above or below the <!-- Product Details box --> tags.

Or if you are using the add to cart button ON the tabs, you could add it above or below the <!-- add to cart box --> zc tags in the tpl_tabbed_products_lite.php file.

For the text-based version of the AAQ I would recommend putting it above the product details like this:
http://www.unbannable.com/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=2

If using the image version of AAQ, then I would put it directly under the Product details.

Keep in mind also that the original authors recommendations for the AAQ button were a tad limiting, as they assumed you would be using the product details area and the instructions actually integrate it into the Product Details. So if you weren't using the Product Details, you wouldn't see the AAQ button. A more preferred method would be to use the following code, and you can place it anywhere:

<!-- bof Ask A Question -->
<span id="productQuestions" class="biggerText">
<b><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ASK_A_QUESTION, 'products_id=' . $_GET['products_id']) . '">' . ASK_A_QUESTION . '</a>'; ?></b>
</span>
<!-- eof Ask A Question -->

Assuming you want it off-tabs, You can edit the tpl_product_display_info.php file and find <!--bof Add to Cart Box --> thru <!--eof Add to Cart Box --> and <!--bof Attributes Module --> thru <!--eof Attributes Module -->

Cut the full contents, including the tag labels and paste them below this code:

<!--eof Product details list -->

<br class="clearBoth" />
<div></div>
<!-- eof: Tabbed Product Lite Modifications -->

You might want to add another "<br class="clearBoth" />" at the end of those newly pasted objects after you move them up to make sure they dont cause tab shift problems on some browsers.

You can also play around with these for the placement you want. But keep in mind that there is css settings and other stuff at play unrelated to the tabs contrib, and covered more in the zen-cart template understanding.

is there a new "style sheet you are using for the new tabs where you have the tabs on the right and variable info on rest of display? If so I am creating my own but thought that perhaps I should use whatever model you are using to allow us to leverage your future"new tab layout"..

if so how does one obtain a copy of the new stylesheet?

There is a new stylesheet and a new tpl_tabbed_products_lite.php file. I was trying to find a way to do it via css only because I thought I saw another site with tabs do that one time but I need to look harder to find it again.

thnx for the reply, im still customizing the tpl_product_display_info.php. managed to place it above the tabs. but not position properly. still trying to figure out. wish to look like this site product info :

Yes well voltage has unbelievable template skill and probably one of the best, if not the best template in town (IMO). You would first have to learn more about zen-cart and how to make amazing templates and then proceed to merge tabbed products lite into that template. I do have a few layouts with and without tabs planned as well. You can get a sneak peak of the work in progress here: http://www.tvclassico.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=3

but there is more work to be done before I can get something as good looking as moissaniteco

wel I am trying to build a "final demo for late this week, so anything you can send or post is appreciated... I love the 3 column layout in main page....

Yea this is a CSS issue.. Do your customeralsopurchased css settings have any float settings? I dont remember which setting offhand but it looks like that may be the problem. I made no changes to the customer also purchased module.. so im curious if you set cross sell to be off tab.. does it also have this problem ?

Thanks but I do not have Cross Sell installed so the setting is turned off. However I did turn off the "Global Customers Also Purchased Tab" in the admin screen and the products show up fine.

I could not find a reference to costomeralsopurchased anywhere in the css files.

I should add that the tab shows up fine in Firefox.

Thanks for the tips Q.

So the above will put the AAQ button code on the tab. Or is it just for the text based link?

I was not sure if to place the AAQ button code in the tpl_tabbed_products_lite.php file in order to display the button on a tab or in another file, or within product description in admin. I see now it is more simple than I was making it out to be. When I attempted to map the logic between the new v.3.8 files my head began to hurt. I only had to focus on the product_info file in previous versions.

I think the way the author made it was to put the link in one spot. If you want the text version, leave it that way, otherwise if you want the image version, edit your languages/ask_a_question.php (not sure of actual name) file and change the define text to an HTML string like '<img src=aaq.jpg>'

Hello - I am somewhat new to Zen-cart and am trying to install this tabbed template. I did a fresh install of zen cart and uploaded the files as specified and changed the your template to classic. Before that I installed the sql as needed. Is there something obvious I am missing, neglecting to do? I have checked and the files are getting to the right spot though the template does not change. :( Thanks in advance for the help!

I am not sure if this helps but here is a link to my site:

Thanks again,

did you reset it in admin? tools > template selection

and then reset the layout boxes.. tools > layout box controller

hello, thanks for your quick response. I went into layout boxes controller and pushed reset so I am showing all the normal boxes ect. now though there is no reset button in the template selection section. I have the trublu template installed so when I uploaded the tabbed lite I changed the "your template" to trublu though I see no tabs. Seems like a very easy install though I must be doing something wrong.

Again any help is appreciated!

Thanks,
Meko

Thanks for your help, my tabs are working!

Hi,

My additional images are showing beautifully. But I'm having trouble showng more than one image per row. I have tried modifying the setting in the admin under :

Admin -> Images -> Product Info - Number of Additional Images per Row

But that doesn't change anything for me. I still get just the one image per row whatever figure I enter there.

Any advice would be welcome

The reason you are getting only 1 picture per line is because you have:

I appreciate your time and help, and have looked around as to where to change from 33% to a 100% this is a clean install on a clean 1.3.6 Zencart... weird that it should come up with a 33%. Any idea on what php file I can modify the 33% back to 100% ? I've had this same "problem" on other zencart websites. Thanks again.
