Tabbed Products ''LITE'' version - Delimiter based

Also I was wondering if its possible to have the tell a friend button on its own tab rather than at the bottom of the page?

Phil020782:

I've just downloaded and installed tabbed products lite and all seemed to be working fine but when i went into config and set global add to cart tab it doesn't put the add to cart button and attributes on its own tab, it adds them on the bottom of the product description tab.

If I disable global product description, it works fine but puts the product description outside the tabs.

I have not edited anything other than the config options. Please can someone tell me how I can get the add to cart button and attributes on its own tab without putting the product description outside the tabs.

Sorry if this question has been asked before but 107 pages is a lot to read through.

This is behaving as designed. The reason I do that is so the Add to Cart button can always be visible, as I assume you would want customers to be able to easily find the button that means money for you :)

I do have a similar request for allowing it to work the way you want it as well though. I just gotta find the time. In the mean time you can use the sub tags for adding add to cart on a per-product basis. But soon i hope to get it global.

Seems kinda moot to have an entire tab set for just a single button. Perhaps it would be best to just move it to another tab.

Hi qhome,
Thanks for the reply, in the end I just decided to drop the attributes and add to cart button under the tabs and as for the tell a friend button, it's not doing any harm where it is so it can stay there for now.

Thanks anyway

Need help when I add SQL....

1146 Table 'db4640_cart.configuration_group' doesn't exist
in:
[SELECT @gid := configuration_group_id FROM configuration_group where configuration_group_title LIKE 'Tabbed Products Config';]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

Scroll back a few pages of this thread. It is because you have a prefix on your database. the solution is posted a couple times

My site map link disappeared in information sidebox after installing this. How can I fix it? I am using the true blue template also.

The sitemap is gone because of the TruBlu template, not because of Tabbed Products Lite. You can add it back using the EZPages or modify the header/footer files

Thank you

There was an easier way. Took me a while to figure it out. Now that I figured it out. It was in the information.php file in includes/sideboxes.php file. I just added the link there & now it shows up.

I was just wondering how do you uninstall tabbedproductslite_v3.8
I installed it and it mess me up for some reason on my check out page. All I need to know is how to undo what I have done. Thank you

TPL should have no interaction with checkout. What kind of problem are you having?

I fix the Problem. Thank you anyway. I must have over written two file when I installed it some how. Anyway I fixed it. Thank you

Hi ya,

I am just needing to know if it's possible to switch the default tab when page opens to the additional images tab instead of the product info. I realize it's an odd request, but sales from some of the sites I maintain depend more on seeing the product images than reading the product info.

Hi Qhome,

Thankyou for this. It is people like zen cart and you that make dreams possible.

Thankyou for sharing, maybe one day I can do the same.

I solved the problem by adding the prefix in the proper place of the sql:

**SELECT @gid := configuration_group_id FROM configuration_group where configuration_group_title LIKE 'Tabbed Products Config';

**xxx.configuration_group <- this needs to be changed.
where of course XXX is your prefix of database tables.

I know this was posted before, but it was not clear to me as it was posted, so I added the prefix to all tables in the select statement(which was wrong). After examining the SQL logic for a while, the previous posts made sense.

Thank you,

Hello all,

The above quote is post #1025, the issue of SQL errors are also mentioned in posts # 972, 973, 983, 985-987, 1012, 1021-1023. There might be others, but that's all I have seen.

So it is now my turn to have an SQL error when copying and pasting the code from the "TabbedProducts_v3.8_Full.sql" file into the tools->install SQL patches window.

Here is the error message:
1048 Column 'configuration_group_id' cannot be null
in:
[INSERT INTO sub_configuration VALUES ('', 'Global Product Description Tab', 'GLOBAL_PROD_DESC_ON_TAB', '1', 'Set this to 1 if you want all products to have the Main Product Description on its own tab', @gid, '11', now(), now(), NULL, "zen_cfg_select_option(array('0', '1'),");]

Although this error message is slightly different than the other posts that discuss SQL errors, I figured I'd try to see if the issue wasn't the same - a missing DB prefix.

I had a look at PHPMyAdmin to see if I could determine the prefix of my database, if any. Then I realized it was staring right at me - "configuration" is the name of a table in the DB, in the error message above it has been prepended with "sub_".

But when I go through the SQL file to manually prepend "sub_" to all instances of tables in the file, I get messages saying, for instance:
"1146 Table 'XXXXX.sub_sub_configuration_group' doesn't exist
in:
[DELETE FROM sub_sub_configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_title LIKE 'Tabbed Products Config' LIMIT 1;] "
(where XXXXX is the name of my DB)

I also tried prepending "sub." and "sub" with similar results.

Is this error 1048 fundamentally different than the missing table error? Using PHPMyAdmin, I poked inside of the "configuration" table and found the Column "configuration_group_id". I could have switched it's NULL status from "No" to "Yes", but I thought I might be in the process of breaking something.

So I am a little confused. Sorry for the rambling post, I've been staring at the same problem way too long. Evidently, I am pretty new to PHP/MySQL and coding in general.

FYI, I am on
ZC V. 1.3.7
It is an automatic installation provided by Dreamhost, no other mods done yet.

thanks for any help

update I have since decided to completely delete and re-install Zencart to be certain that it wasn't some kind of installation screw up. I opted to include the default list of products, in the event that the problem was that I had only 1 product the first time around.

Now the error is in line with those already posted (missing tables), but I still can't figure out where to prepend the prefix (which is in fact "zen_", not "sub*", BTW). I'll keep wrestling with it, but so far every set of prefixes that I put in for database table names in the MySQL file yields a different but similar result.

I am in the process of compiling the variations of where I place the prefix vs. the type of error message, but if someone can give me a pointer as to which table names specifically need prefixes, this would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to "spam" this thread with the actual code and corresponding list of errors...

thanks

Hello, again there's hundreds of posts on this matter and through Search Thread Tool I can't seem to find any solution to my problem. My problem is the rendering of the Tabbed Products Lite in IE6. take a look at https://www.abcplus.ro of course with IE6 and look at any product description. The js renders the css completely inappropriate, and everything changes when you go selecting things and such, and the producers icon and name is not shown, any help will be greatly appreciated.

I THINK I figured out where the prefix belonged. While I am still at a loss as to why the rest of the tables didn't need the prefix, I was able to upload the script without errors ("17 statements processed") by adding the prefix (in this case, it was, in fact "zen_" ONLY to this bit:
" SELECT @gid := configuration_group_id FROM configuration_group where configuration_group_title LIKE 'Tabbed Products Config'; "

I prefixed "zen_" to " 'configuration_group' " such that it became zen_configuration_group and it worked.

But now....

the tabs don't load properly, that is to say, they do not look anything like the demo site tabs. Instead, they appear as horizontal bars going down the page.

will attach a pic if anyone is interested to see what I mean. But as a separate issue, the reviews tab is messed up and shot out the following error on the page:

Warning: require(includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_modules_tabbed_products_lite_reviews.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/*****/includes/templates/nightfall/templates/tpl_tabbed_products_lite.php on line 462

I think I figured it out - I believe there is an error in the documentation, it might have already been addressed in the thread, but it is still incorrect in the readme file:

under Installation-> files to upload, it states the following:

(IMPORTANT!!! Change YOUR_TEMPLATE to the custom template you are using. It is not recommended that you overwrite the files in the template_default folder) The rest of the file structure is in tact, so you could rename the YOUR_TEMPLATE folder locally and upload the entire structure.

/catalog/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/.css (Multiple files)
/catalog/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/jscript/jscript_tablitev3.js
/catalog/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php
/catalog/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_music_info_display.php
/catalog/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_free_shipping_info_display.php
/catalog/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/tpl_modules_tabbed_products_lite_reviews.php /catalog/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_tabbed_products_lite.php
/catalog/includes/modules/tabbed_products_lite.php
/catalog/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/tabbed_products_lite.php
/catalog/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/.gif (Multiple files)

the error is that the 6th file path is: /catalog/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/tpl_modules_tabbed_products_lite_reviews.php

when it should be:
/catalog/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_modules_tabbed_products_lite_reviews.php

I had installed the tpl_modules_tabbed_products_lite_reviews.php file in the directory above, as per those instructions. As soon as I put it into the same directory with the other php files, the error disappeared and the tabs now work flawlessly.

THANK YOU FOR THIS MOD!!!! I'll stop spamming this thread now.
