Tabbed Products Pro (TPP) Contrib - Official Thread

hey guys, just wanted to explain how i sorted my problem for those who may also be in the same position as i was and wasn't around when TPP was installed, so didn't quite know the workings of how to configure it.

To install shopzilla reviews as a 'tab':

go to line:approx 339:

$fmtRVW .= "\n" . '<div style="width:100%;">' . "\n";

then i deleted: all lines under this line that had: ```php
$fmtRVW .=

until:
```php
$fmtRVW .= "\n" . '</div>'. "\n";

then in between these tags add the following code from shopzilla:

$fmtRVW .= '<!--bof Shopzilla Reviews -->
<div class="pr_review_summary">
<script type="text/javascript">SHOPZILLAREVIEWS.display.engine(document, { pr_page_id : "'. $_GET['products_id'] .'" });</script>
</div>
<!--eof Shopzilla Reviews -->';

leaving you with:

			$fmtRVW .= "\n" . '<div style="width:100%;">' . "\n";
			$fmtRVW .= '<!--bof Shopzilla Reviews -->
<div class="pr_review_summary">
<script type="text/javascript">SHOPZILLAREVIEWS.display.engine(document, { pr_page_id : "'. $_GET['products_id'] .'" });</script>
</div>
<!--eof Shopzilla Reviews -->';
			$fmtRVW .= "\n" . '</div>'. "\n";

then go to your admin.

configuartion -> ttp -config -> and check that: TPP - Global Reviews Tab = 1.

probably the majority of people know this just thought i'd contribute :).

Andy.

:clap: AWESOME.. Thank you for SHARING your solution versus posting the "Nevermind I figured it out" kind of post.:laugh:

Just so I understand it, you replaced the default Zen Cart review tab IN IT'S ENTIRETY with the Shopzilla reviews??

Yep i removed the entire standard,
although i should just add there is MORE things than just this part i pasted in order to implement these reviews on your site. This part i pasted is purely for getting the shopzilla reviews into a 'tab'.

Andy.Ahhhhh ha!!! I had thought that there would be more modifications required to fully replace the default reviews with the Shopzilla reviews..

Could you please share the rest?? (Pretty please.. :D) For folks using THIS add-on, I'm sure they would need to know the rest of what needs to be done after getting the Shopzilla reviews to appear on the reviews tab.

Hi DivaVocals,

unfortunatly it wouldn't be much help as the shopzilla product reviews is a paid for service, but once you pay for it they do know alot about zen-cart and are available free of charge to help + they do very comprehensive guides to installing.

• i think it should be put in a new thread as to not confuse people with 2 seperate things.

sorry again

regards
Andy.

Andy.I understand this.. (Shopzilla product reviews is a paid service) My question/concern was in providing the FULL picture for integrating the code. Someone else reading this thread might get the impression that all they needed to do was to make one change to make the tab appear when there is in fact more to the answer.. Get what I am saying??

Putting the rest of the answer in a new thread makes sense (if you decide to be so kind to do this :smile:). I think a link back here to that thread is still very useful..:smile:

Hello i am trying to move my "Add to Cart:" box above the tabs and so above "the text above the tabs". I moved the "Add to Cart:" box below <!--eof Product Price block --> in tpl_product_info_display.php but "the text above the tabs" still display above my "Add to Cart:" box.

Help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Great mod but just having issues with the product description text layout.

Without the module enabled the product text is styled using the following in my stylesheet

#productDescription, .shippingEstimatorWrapper (line  758)
{
padding-top:  0.5em;
padding-right: 0.5em;
padding-bottom: 0.5em;
padding-left:  0.5em;
}
#productDescription  (line 1823)
{
width: 55%;
float: right;
}
```This lines the product text up nicely below the price block and next to product image.

When i switch the mod on the product text moves under the image leaving a high gap on the right side of the page and there is no styling for the product description text anymore.

Can anyone shed any light on this for me? Want to get the TPP working with the product description looking the same as it did without the module on. 

Image of product info screen with module off and on:

I have spent a ludicrous number of hours searching on here and trying to get both tabbed products pro and either Zen lightbox or the slimbox to work when both installed but to no avail.

I know some people have had no problem with compatibility but I did and saw a few others with the same problem (i.e. when TPP installed, the lightbox no longer works and opens images within the same window).

Basically what works for me is installing and using tabbed products pro v1.05 and NOT the latest version of 1.06.
This combined with Zen Lightbox either versions 1.4 and 1.5 (and I also use Image Handler) seems to work a treat! :clap:
I also tried it using slimbox 1.5 but no joy so I'll stick to the Zen lightbox.

Have no clue why this combo works for me as I am not a programmer of any description - just thought I should mention it as it could be worth a try if someone else has same problem.

Setting up site to replace old published site. Installed TPP and they seem to work fine.

The only issue I have is that under the details tab I would have thought that the manufacturer's name would be displayed after looking at tpl_product_info_display but it is not.

When display manufacturer's name is enabled under admin it shows up in on the category product display page but not on the actual products display page.

Got debug running and no issues there - think I have looked at all relevant files - am I missing something.

Another thing that I've found that just might be useful to somebody is that in your normal stylesheet.css for your site, if you add a background url, IT MUST BE LOWER CASE!! I'm guessing that it's because this mod "optimizes" your css. So if you've got like 4 or 5 different stylesheets loading at once, they will be combined into one with no formatting.

But anyway, it took me a little while to figure out that 2 "hover" images in my navbar would not display due to the fact that they was the ONLY 2 images that mistakenly got written with the "URL" being in upper case........ie,

background: URL/COLOR...WILL NOT DISPLAY!

background: [COLOR=Red]url/COLOR.....WILL DISPLAY![COLOR=Black]

The reason I though this might be useful is that somebody like me that was ALREADY C3C compliant like I was.....................well, after just installing a new mod.........your compliant css it one of the LAST places you would think of looking for a problem such as this.......especially when those same 2 images worked properly before the install.

I hope this can help somebody.

The behavior has less to do with the core TPP module and more to do with the Minimizer module that is bundled into all versions of TPP since version 1.06a. Turning off the minimizer while you sort out any case issues with your CSS will do the trick..

To share my experience about using Tabbed Products Pro Version: v1.06 (Released February 17, 2009).

The problems are:
when you use Details and Additional Images tabs. They will show nothing.

How to solve?
Please use <!--*sub_DetailsOnTab(1)*--> and <!--*sub_AdditionalImages(2)*-->
Now,the Details and Additional Images tabs can show its contents.

I have just installed this add on and I think it is very nice. What works by default is great but I am having a problem changing the layout with the tags. I cannot change it from the image I have attached. I have turned off HTMLArea were ever I can find it and incidently I had to turn it off in ezpages as well before I stopped seeing it in the products page.

I have added the following tag just above the word capacity as seen in the image but it will not change the appearance.

What else do I need to do?

ps the above post does not work for me.

<!--#DetailsOnTab#-->

ps the above post does not work for me.It seems to be that using

instead of the tag above works. This puts the text DetailsOnTab on the tab so I can edit that.

These instructions are for TPP 1.05 since TPP 1.06 kept crashing the site and/or conflicting with other hacks/mods. I imagine 1.06 does not differ much if at all for simple, custom content.

2. OPEN includes\modules\tabbed_products_pro.php

3. FIND $fmtDOT = '<div style="width:100%;">' . "\n";

4. EDIT*

*For each line of code you want to add, simply insert a new line containing $fmtDOT .= ''; (after/before the other appropriate fmtDOT lines of code) and put your new HTML content between the single quotes. Skills sets will vary, of course, but it should be pretty self explanatory.

If you have custom data and tabs to add, the hacks necessary are way too numerous to go into detail, but it can be done.

This is exactly what I needed for my cart as I wanted to include some instructions for customers on the attributes tab before they choose their attributes. Works a treat!
Thanks for the great post!!! :clap:

I am attempting to add a NEW global tab per the instructions in the docs folder 'Adding Global Tabs.pdf

I did as instructed and then changed all instances of 'Warranty' to 'Manufacuter_Info' and my product display page is coming up blank below the header area.

The debug utility is telling me: [21-Apr-2010 12:03:05] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /xxxxx/xxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx/includes/modules/tabbed_products_pro.php on line 339

This is line 339: $fmtManInfo .= "Thank you for shopping with us. If you have any questions, call us at 1-800-111-2222."

I have no idea what that is and have done multiple searches for it on the forum and have not seen anything yet that has solved the error :(

Any suggestions?

autoace:

This is line 339: $fmtManInfo .= "Thank you for shopping with us. If you have any questions, call us at 1-800-111-2222."

It could be that you're either missing a semi-colon at the end of that line, or the line above that one.

$fmtManInfo .= "Thank you for shopping with us. If you have any questions, call us at 1-800-111-2222.";

I want to add a bit of text at the top of the reviews tab explaining about a discount for future purchases if a review is written.

I tried applying the same method previously explained to me here but this didn't work.

How can I do this?

Thanks :smile:

Im having a problem where the code is loading into my source, but the tabs are not showing up, Im not sure if the script is broken or what does someone mind to look? :blink:
