Tabbed Products Pro (TPP) Contrib - Official Thread

autoace:

It seems that I got the tabs to display BUT they do not display correctly, take a look and you'll see what I'm saying - thanks for your help.

NOTE: you will need un/pw of auto1 for access.

Which version of TPP do you have installed? If you have the most recent version, they're most likely not displaying correctly because the css/js loader isn't on (or isn't installed properly because none of your css is being minified).

My advice to anyone having issues with TPP is to rollback and use v1.05. (you'll need to update includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php for Zen Cart v1.3.9 compatibility)

You do not need to use v1.07 or v1.06 unless you plan to or are currently using CSS Javascript Loader..

Yes I do have the css/js loader installed and thought it was on, but I will double check to make sure its installed correctly and on. I'll report back with the results - thanks for your help.

Thanks for your advice DivaLocals is there any chance you can please tell me or us exactly what code needs to be updated in the tpl_product_info_display.php file for ZenCart v1.3.9 compatibility?

Do you also know if the sub tag tab code placed on the main tab works with v1.05 on ZenCart v1.3.9?

For example:

This is the stuff on the 1st tab. It also has Add To Cart button on it. (by itself)

As I could never get that to work at all.

On another note in case anyone is interested and has the same or similar problem.

I was getting lots and I mean lots of error logs being posted every minute when using TPP. I didn't realise that I had over 20,000 error logs all with the same error message in them until I checked the error directory.

Anyway I eventually fixed the problem and the errors disappeared by upgrading to the latest version of the CSS Javascript Loader. I also used WinMerge to compare and change the differences in the html_header.php file.

If anyone wants to know exactly what to change just let me know.

To download the new package just go to the following URL:

https://github.com/yellow1912/cjloader/tree/master/zencart_files/includes

On another note for people that use the Dynamic Price Updater and TPP together I thought it best to mention a problem that I came across which I think may have been caused by upgrading to the latest version of the Javascript loader. But bare in mind that I am not 100% sure about just yet as I haven't had time to fully test this theory.

Anyway when I upgraded to the lateset version of the Javascript loader I started getting a large amount of errors in the error directory relating to the Dynamic Price Updater. Previously I would only get one or two. But when I upgraded the Javascript loader I started getting them all the time like every minute!

So I ended up uninstalling the Dynamic Price Updater until this issue can be resolved. Just thought I would mention this in case anyone else out there has the this mod installed and if you do I would be checking your error logs to ensure that this same problem doesn't happen to you.

For example:

<!--%Product Description%-->

This is the stuff on the 1st tab. It also has Add To Cart button on it. (by itself)

<!--*sub_AddToCart(1)*-->

As I could never get that to work at all.As has been discussed on this support thread before, yhe only difference between v1.05 and every subsequent release of TPP is the additional of the CJ Loader. (v1.07 makes updates to v1.06 for v1.3.9 compatibility) As I posted "You do not need to use v1.07 or v1.06 unless you plan to or are currently using CSS Javascript Loader.." So except for making changes to the tpl_product_info_display.php file using v1.05 is perfectly okay..

UPDATE

I'm using the lastest version, 1.07, I believe from the downloads section. It was as you said - the module was not working fully - after some checking, I realized I had not merged the contents of the html_header file from the addon to my file. After I did that, the functionality worked!

Now my only problem is that the tabs display in a 'stacked' position, instead of an 'inline' position, if you will...

Could you take another look at the page:

Sorry - I'm subscribed to this thread but didn't get the update about your post...

It looks like you got it fixed - the tabs are displaying how they're supposed to.

Hi,
I need to change the contents displayed on the product description tag from using the product description field to having it use fields from the database.
I want to show printer models in the tab which are all listed in the databse.
Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks all

Mike

Anyone???

Not sure if im making myself clear.

I have the product description tab which I have renamed compatible printers and this lists all compatible printers for cartridges we sell. At the moment I can list the printers by placing them in product description and it shows as a list. No prob!

What I want to do is have the tab populated from a series of fields in the database in which I have all the printers listed (each printer has its own cell). So when I update the database with a new product and/or compatible printer, I dont have to copy and paste the data into the relevant product descriptions.

As I have over 5000 entries, doing this manually would be the end of me.

The tab is populated with one field at the moment, Surely some of you guys can tell me how to populate this tab with more than one db field?

Please help, thanks in advance
Mike

hello, im using this mod on zen 1.3.9h, i have read the documentation on per page custom tabs, and i have browsed this thread and seen references to hard coding custom global tabs, i wonder if anyone could point me in the right direction for doing this, i have general delivery instructions which need to be placed on each product, if i can hard code it this will be an awful lot easier, can anyone help please?

Also i am using edit cart mod, http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=795

whenever the user clicks edit from their cart and goes bck to amend personalisations there is no longer the edit cart function (just adds the product again instead fo updating), does anyone have a fix for this by chance? (i'm using the add to cart and merged attributes global tab)

ok no problem, but i am pretty sure i will get the same response from that thread that you have given me here, it is the code from this mod affecting the edit cart mod, when i have it within the global tab (attributes and add to cart) it no longer works as it should and when i disable to add to cart tab and have it outside of the global tabs - it works.

i presume that people here will have a better knowledge of why the tabbed products pro coding is affecting this otherwise working mod, rather than people on the edit cart thread who may have never heard of this mod?

Thank you in advance, for the very adaptable addon to zencart.

Problem 1:

Product test page with order information to right of main product image Here

Thanks,

I currently have the tabbed products setup but am struggling when it comes to optimisation.
I use the follwoing as an example - http://www.creative-soaps.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=11
I have used a couple of seo sites like - http://www.seocentro.com/tools/search-engines/metatag-analyzer.html
and see that a lot of my ingredients are also being classified as keywords and pulling down my overal percentage as there is no way I would be able to use most of these in my content. Any ideas?
How is your question even a LITTLE related to support for Tabbed Product Pro support??

On the download page (http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=924) it says this is the support thread. I need support of a kind. Not sure why the hostility is needed

HELP! the mod is great and just want I wanted but I cannot understand how to include custom fields under the product details. I have two fields that need to be included under this tab but not sure how to go about it.:lookaroun

i have asked this question before, unfortunately i didnt recieve an answer (asking how to insert a custom global tab which would be the same for all products rather than inserting the <!--%Custom Tab%--> individually in the product descriptions.)

can any one please offer any guidance? thanks.
