Tabbed Products ''LITE'' version - Delimiter based

jonisolis:

Dear qhome, any luck with getting the attribs to show up just on the attribs tab?

Ok. I finally had a chance to check it out. It seems to be working fine for me

http://www.unbannable.com/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2

the code i used is

<!--%Product Description%-->
blahblahblah
<!--%Custom Tab%-->
This is another fun tab. Party on Wayne. Also I got the attribs here.
<!--%Attribs%-->
<!--*sub_AttributeOptions(3)*-->
<!--*sub_CustomersAlsoPurchased(2)*-->
<!--*sub_CrossSell(4)*-->
<!--#Reviews#-->
<!--@EndTabs@-->
Here is another item with text below the Tabs

HELP! I added your code (above) but I am still getting the Attributes on both the 'Product Description' tab and the 'Attributes' tab! What am I doing wrong? Here is the page: <http://www.horse-logos.com/arab-flag-arabian-horse-clip-p-6.html>

Hi Guys, Im wondering if someone can help.

Ive installed this mod (admin version) and its my understanding (which is limited) that i should be able to automatically get an add to cart tab, a product description tab etc

however i get a product description tab, with the description and the buy options, cart button, attributes etc I thought these were automatically separated using the admin controls ?

which by the way are:
TitleValue Global Product Description Tab1 Global Main Image On Tab1 Global Add To Cart Tab1 Global Additional Images Tab1 Global Customers Also Purchased Tab1 Global Media Collection Tab0 Cross Sell Is Installed0 Global Cross Sell Tab0 Show Tab Headers1 Show Tab Headers when Javascript is Off1 Global Reviews Tab1 Global Use Sub Tags0

I managed to get them on separate tabs using custom tabs but then i get two product descriptios tabs one with the 'description' and one with all the cart stuff in?

Any ideas what ive done wrong ?

Hi knighs.

The "Global Add to Cart" is a very strict button with some extra smart (or over done) coding. Globally, I didn't add a method to make Add-to-cart its own tab. If you read the properties of the Global Add to Cart button in the admin where you set it to true or false:

====Global Add To Cart Tab
Set this to 1 if you want the add to cart button on a tab. Note this includes Add To Cart, Qty Discounts, and Option Attributes. The add to cart option will add itself to the first tab if using any custom tabs, otherwise it will make its own tab, which will be the first tab. This keeps the Add to cart button in view at all times no matter the configuration====

So if you set this to 1, it will put the add to cart stuff on the first custom tab. If you have Global Products Description on, that is a custom tab so the add to cart will be on there. If you don't use global prod description and don't have any custom tabs, then the add to cart button will make its own tab as the first tab.

It was done this way to ensure that customers could always see the add to cart button because you usually want customers to have to quickest way to add a product to their cart.

If you want a separate Add to cart button and Custom tabs, currently the only way is to use the sub tab tags and specify which tab you want it on.

Thanks for that. I kinda got it to work.

Is there anyway i can change the hard code so that if i have global options on it creates the tabs i require. basically I want and ADD to cart tab always first then a product description second followed by some of the other options and then customs ones.

If its not that simple do do code wise how much might it cost to have an amended version made ?

Thanks

Hi. I don't think it would be too hard. I have been meaning to go rewire some of the way tabbed lite works. I'm just not sure if I should just make it its own product_type layout instead of manipulated it for existing products. Mainly the problem is that at this point, zc doesn't natively support changing the product type code from with the admin area, so its not easy to change from product_general to product_music or in this case product_tabbed. So I think for now I will stick to the data manipulation. But I'd like to implement a sorting order so that tabs can be ordered in custom ways easily.

Let me take a look at what I can do with it. It might get to be a bit heavier than "Lite" so I might just make a separate "Tabbed Products Not-so-lite" :)

That would be great. Keep me posted :-)

If what im after isnt particually what others may want let me know direct by email and ill pat for a specially configured one !

Im lazy i dont want to put bits of code in every product i add as they will all need the same ie Add to cart, description, others youve got and then maybe custom ones if i need them.

Thanks

It appears that you are using a prefix on your database. Edit that sql file and add the part in red:

Where would I look for the file with the prefix? I had someone install the zen cart for me?

Hi,
I have the same error as this guy had... basically I get the error
"1146 Table 'timani-_database"..... etc
I believe the solution is in the messages above, but how do i find out the database prefix?

Thanks

Its the prefix you used to install with. If you don't know, try: zen_

I have a lot of attributes for most of my graphic products and I want to be able to use Tabbed Products LITE to put the attributes on a tab other than the product description tab. So far I just cannot seem to get this done. Can anyone help me with this? Has anyone else gotten the attributes to show up ONLY on a Attributes tab and not also on the Product's description tab? Thanks for any help.

Please check the coding of this page...

I figured out what the problem is. Try turning off "Global Add to cart" or if you are using an add to cart tag in the individual product, remove it. See if that works. I see that I am overriding the options with the add to cart option. Originally I always grouped the add-to-cart button with the attribs. So when you have add to cart button enabled to be inside the tabs, i is also making a copy of the attribs with it.

Yea, that was it, the "Global Add to Cart"! Thanks so much for taking the time to help me with this and I am sure it will help other people too. GREAT Zen add on!

Oh no! Now I messed it up again. I wanted to put the tab name as: "Attributes/Options" but now I have the attributes on two tabs again. Is there a way I can make the tab read: "Attributes/Options" and have the attributes listed only there?

Here is the coding I have now:

<!--%Product Description%--> <p>Arabian horse clip art set. A high trotting Arab horse graphic in three different colors with matching web background images. The colored clip art images for web use have a white background and should be displayed on white. NOTE: No watermark text on delivered files.</p><p>Click on image to view set and actual size of web quality images.</p> <p><strong>Instant Delivery:</strong> After purchase you will be able to download the zip files directly to your computer.</p><p>Web quality equine clip art images can be displayed in your outgoing emails or web pages. Print quality image files can be inserted into Microsoft Word, PhotoShop, or any other art or page layout word program you have for designs, like - newsletters, stationery, fliers, gift cards, scrapbooking, etc...</p> <p><strong>Not for resale in digital format. Please read the <a href="http://www.horse-logos.com/index.php?main_page=conditions">Conditions of Use</a> page.</strong> </p><p>All horse art images are copyrighted by Joni Solis - Horse-Logos.com</p> <!--%Attributes/Options%--> <!--*sub_Attributes/Options(3)*--> <!--*sub_CustomersAlsoPurchased(2)*--> <!--*sub_CrossSell(4)*--> <!--#Reviews#--> <!--@EndTabs@-->

You don't change the name of the tag. Just the name of the custom tab. The code doesn't know what sub_Attributes/Options is. You can call the tab whatever you like but don't change the name of the tag and you should be fine. Also you only have 3 tabs now, so if you want attribs on the custom Attribs/Options tab you made, you need to change the sub_AttributeOptions(3) to (2) Unless you are putting other custom tabs there first.

OK, I think I starting to understand better.

I put in the following code:

All looks good now. Thanks!

sub_CrossSell(4) will only work if you have an existing 4th tab. I had thought about making is auto-create the tab if it didn't exist but changed my mind. If you want CrossSell to always be its own tab then use the Global Cross Sell option or use <!--#CrossSell#--> in the product code.

Hi,

I have copied all the files as required to my custom template folder, but received the following error on the SQL install:

1146 Table 'zencart.configuration_group' doesn't exist.

Which I was able to resolve by adding my database prefix, I then re-attempted the upload of the SQL via Admin->Tools->Install SQL Patches. I then received this message:

1054 Unknown column 'configuration_group_id' in 'field list'

I checked for this column and it does exist in the database. Fearing the SQL patch tool may be amiss, I Ran the SQL via the stored procedure interface in MSQL Admin.

The result is I now Have the Tabbed Products option under My Configuration, but that is all that show. There are no options other than the pull down title and My products detail page no longer displays. This is a store I am building here locally before uploading to a host. The only mods I am running are Sidebox mods.

The specs are:

1. PHP Version 5.2.2
2. Mysql 5.0.37
3. Apache 2.0

Disregard my previous post. I was able to solve my problem.

Good to hear. How did you solve it? Did you need to add the prefix to the sql ?
