Tabbed Products ''LITE'' version - Delimiter based

IntelCos:

Ok, now for another trick, which I'm sure has been asked, ...

How do I get the text to show right of the image aligned top?

in plain text

image bla bla
bla bla
bla bla...boo
ask a ? buy now

:lamo:

Depends which text. Do you mean you want part of the product description to be outside of the tabs and have it wrap around the text?

or

Do you want the stuff like stock qty, price, model number, etc?

@intel Cos: As qhome confirmed the rollovers on your tabs appear to be working on both of your sites. (as viewed in Firefox 2.001).

Although it is a bit off topic, regarding Easy Rollovers not working on your 1.37 site, I wanted to confirm I have Easy Rallovers installed and working on Zencart 1.37, along with Category Tab Rollovers (and also Tabbed Product rollovers).

I will need to review my shop build notes to see if I had any issues or implemented any workarounds on getting Easy Rollovers to work on 1.37. If I locate any helpful clues I will let you know.

BTW I see the cagtegories menu system you have on your production site is not running on your 1.37 site. Which categories menu mod are you using on 1.302 site?

Thats what is so strange.

When I built 1.3.02, all went without a major hitch. Then the 1.3.7 install(new build) has taken almost two times longer for many reasons including the French Lang pak which is horrid for errors.

I used the CSS Flyout menu mod, of which I have yet to install on this build.

I have a few issues to clear before I add this in. Such as why easyrollovers fails on some things and also imposes that product photos also are rolled over.

I might try to remove this and see if I made some sort of error on the install, But I think not.

I also have this farting space problem on IE only, a one pixel space towards the top under the header image. Another head banger:lamo:

The day when all we have to do is modify one template file and the css file will be a day when Iraq deciedes to now sell flowers instead of oil.

Can you tell me how you have your rollover mod installed ?

In the zip file it has an extra definitions folder, yet not sure on placement of this as it does not indicate....is this placed in the lang dir's or is it set in the root of the includes, meaning a creation of this folder as the base install does not have this folder in the root of includes, but rather in the root of the lang dirs?:lookaroun

Well, this rollovers mod is really upto to something. It in fact if installed as it states, also imposes a rollover on product and cat images.

I'm using the 1.3.6 version of this along with tabs, no mods to files either, so it's got me stumped...

on version 1.3.0 of the rollover worked without a hitch on 1.3.0.2, yet the latest and greatest is giving me bumps...:no: :shocking:

Well, I figured out the rollerover issue, and it has something to do with the version 1.3.6 of the rollerovers add on. I revert back to the 1.3.0 version of the rollovers it it works like a dream.

So If you got 1.3.6 of rollovers working with 1.3.7 and tabs 1.3.7 I'd sure in the hell like to know how.:no:

I'm not a newb, but no expert, one thing is for sure I know is that the 1.3.6 version does not work using the custom template on 1.3.7 and tabs 1.3.7

Now I'm getting closer to what I had set up in the 1.3.0.2 build...

But you know what, I got like 5 days to get this working before a major media blitz happens...I feel like I'm walking down the last lane to the chair.

still havent heard back from you about what you are lookin for in regards to the text wrapping around the main image.

are you looking to have part of the product description wrap around the pic or just the model num, qty in stock, etc?
is the pic gonna be on the tabs or off the tabs?

Hi Q,

Sorry about that, in my version of 1.3.0.2 you will see exactlly what I mean.

The pic will be larger and would like the text to align to the top right. The pic being on the main tab along with add to cart and ask a question like that which I had setup previous to 1.3.7

Hey Q, got another question/request

Is there a way using the admin version with globals to allow for some sort of intro text before the tabs.

If done the long way and one uses the manual method for tabs all is fine, but a quick way to allow an intro flyby or text box that is non tabbed gives a nice touch.

Once again you can see this sort of effect on my previous build prior to 1.3.7

Maybe a balloon option where the intro text becomes a tag cloud so to speak.

It could have css control as well with a css image driven highlight or balloon or whatever one would drive into the css.

If a tag cloud, one could use it to SEF advantages as well.

Ok, figured a round about way to achieve text above by turning off the main tab. I tried using the stop parsing for text to tabs but it did not work, the text just dissappeared. As it states in the readme, this text should show below the tabs.

Not so in my case so not sure if I did that right. But point is I in this case prefer an intro heading that I've somewhat managed to arrive at now.

One thing that I'd like to change would be that if you use the title blocks would be to allow it to be contained outside the main container.

This way, one's content in the tab could be padded with out touching the title block as this allows the tabs to be an enity as well as the title block and main container.

There's lots of ways to move stuff around, unfortunately its near impossible with the current template system to do everything. I had originally planned some additional layouts based on the product_type system, but notice there is no current (easy) way to edit a product's product type. The way I had it planned was to modify the Quick_updates contrib and add the fields for product type as one of the options to change.

The idea was decent but I was asked by the zc team not to release it as it would confuse things later when they revamped the product type system.

So hopefully they have some plans coming soon on better ways to do this, for now you can manually move the code around but there are 80 million different ways to move stuff around and I'm only one man :P

Did you get around to trying the 1.3.6 version of easy with tabs ?

I could not get it to work as mentioned so I reverted an older version of Easy Rollovers and it works.

I have an issue with IH though. The zoom feature of a product image does not work in a tabbed container. Would you know why or what would be the fix for this?

I'll install the rollover today and check.

From what I remember the IH doesn't zoom the tpl_product_info_display.php image ever. Even without tabs.

I'm trying it out now on a core install of ZC 1.3.7 and its not zooming that image. I'm pretty sure I remember reading that was not supported.

Ok, well at least won't break my brains over that...

I tried many flavors witht eh new easy rollovers 1.3.6, but it was driving my template crazy. So, I tired the older version and bang, worked like a dream and no java errors and still validates.

Let me know how you work out as well. I used the custom template base install for 1.3.7 and built from there using overrides and such. I only dropped in one product to get it to flow right, then the rest will follow. So far, it looks good from my opinion with some little things to adress to make it upto where we want it.

IntelCos. There was a bug in the Easy Rollovers v1.3.6 Contrib. I fixed it and reuploaded the file to the downloads area. Read more about it HERE

It should work fine with Tabbed Products Lite now.

Hey Q,

When I built this the first round om 1.3.02, I did not need to mod anything to make the text flow down along the right of the image as you can see from the test active site in the previous posts. I alos used the non-admin version of tabs which was the only difference other the the versions now.

So, there has to be a quick way to do this, I did a compare on the files from 1.3.0.2 and 1.3.7 and there are so many changes I don't really know where to start.

As you can see at what I'm trying to do is that the main tab uses a large image as with all products they will hold the same ratio.

Thus, the big space that is now in the 1.3.7 needs to go and I want that to look like it was on the 1.3.0.2 build up.

So, any clues would be a welcomed.

Also, I'm not sure that update fixes all the issues in regards to the rollovers. Will see, but after getting it to finally work with all the reverts, not sure I want to got a round 3 on this.

Oh yea there is a quick way for this, I know where the fix is. The reason it was done that way was to make room for the product details like stock qty, model number, and "ask a question" link on the right side of the picture.

But if you are not using them then you would have a big space like you say. I'm just wondering if there is an easier way to do it when I release an updated tabbed products lite file. I think it would probably make sense for me to add the clear:both to the css so you could remove it easily without code change. For now, the fix is
FIND in templates/tpl_tabbed_products_lite.php

<!--eof Product details list -->
        <br class="clearBoth" />

REMOVE this:

<br class="clearBoth" />

FIND in templates/tpl_product_info_display.php

<!--eof Product details list -->
        <br class="clearBoth" />

REMOVE this:

<br class="clearBoth" />

Thou musn't doubt the Q! All is perfect when the Great and Powerful Q puts his name on it. so yes.. the entire 1.3.6 Easy Rollovers contrib could not work at all the way it was.. the readme was correct, but the foldername was just confused. it works as expected now, Guaranteed!

You can get it here: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=324768#post324768 since its not yet approved to the downloads area yet.

I could not find anything on this and I can't seem to figure out what the problem is but only some of the products show up for some reason. For example this one has no info that comes up

http://thegaslightcompany.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_67&products_id=184

but this one comes up fine

http://thegaslightcompany.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_67&products_id=186

I removed some of the products and readded them but that did not seem to fix it and I have no idea why half work and half don't.

For now I just took Tabbed Lite out since I cant figure out the problem and I am very new at this.
