Tabbed Products Pro (TPP) Contrib - Official Thread

Ansering myself:

scatzc:

2. I am not currently using CSS Javascript Loader or CJ Loader. Can I still use 1.06c?
   No.

scatzc:

1. If not, which is the latest version that I should use? (given I am still with ZenCart 1.3.8a)?
   1.06

OK, I installed TPP 1.06 on 1.3.8a and it's beautiful -- everything works flawlessly.

I have only one issue though: In my customized Zen-Cart, I moved "Add to Cart" button (div #cartAdd) to the top of the page, next to the product name.

With TPP 1.06, the "Add to Cart" button is now back at the bottom of the page (each tab). How do I move it back up?

I know about the option of having the "Add to Cart" button in its own tab, but I am not interested in that.

TPP has the excellent feature of <!--@EndTabs@--> to put certain content below all tabs. Is there a way to do the same but above all tabs?

To further clarify, TPP 1.06 knows somehow to place above the tabs all the text that's before the first <!--% %-->. Why does it behave differently for the "Add to Cart" button?

At first I thought that perhaps it "intercepts" the button using the <div id="cartAdd"> but my top "Add to Cart" button has a different id! How does TPP 1.06 do that?

Hi,

I am trying to make these tabs: product description, additional images, size chart, review, tell a friend. Because all of these (except size chart) are built-in Zen modules, can I use the global method to create the tabbed view? How do I also include the size chart tab along with it? There will be a size chart image of each brand in the size chart tab. Therefore the image url is not always the same. I want to avoid putting the tags in the product description of each product because there are tens of thousands of products. Also, if I decide that this module is not good enough, how do I uninstall it? Please advise. Thank you.

Can anyone help?

I had the same issue when I installed this mod. The only thing that forces the 'Add to Cart' button below the tabs is how your product information template is set up.

Go to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php and move everything between the <!--bof Add to Cart Box --> and the <!--eof Add to Cart Box --> to where you want it to be. I moved mine underneath the Attributes Module and it shows above the tabs.

Still hoping for help as to how to hard code a Global Tab for the Wishlist Mod.
While waiting, I have a bug that may or may not be related to TPP.
Does it in every browser.

Go here;
http://minu.me/2slk
Click on Additional Images tab and hover over the image once, now click back to Product Description.
It's like TPP forgets to frame the image again as you can see the product description directly behind it.

It only happens if you hover over the addition images, so it could be a problem with TPP, IH2, JQZoom and JQLightbox not playing well together.

Hope someone has a suggestion.

Thank you

Is it possible to split up product attributes into different tabs with this mod? such as a custom shirt site might use?

In my case that blanked the page entirely! :blink:

The only thing that forces the 'Add to Cart' button below the tabs is how your product information template is set up.
That is, the order of sections. This was an incredible hint. It allowed me to try moving instead the following snippet:

<?php 
//BOF :: Tabbed Products Pro ::
echo '<div id="tpptabBlock" style="display:none;">' . $tabData . '</div>';
//EOF :: Tabbed Products Pro ::
?>

Just below the <!--eof Add to Cart Box--> which worked very well for me.

Thank you kamelion0927 :hug:

using ZC 1.3.7 Tabbed Products Pro and have spent the better part of 3 hours reading nearly 180 posts that dance all around my question which is: where do I change the text that displays on a tab in TPP?

I have read countless messages and some nearly answer the questions but there is nothing definitive to go to a specific file and alter some text and then try it out.

I found out you can turn off the global settings and paste zen tags with the name I want on each product but with 3,000 products that's insane to attempt. Is there a global way to change the tab from reading "Product Details" to read "Vendor Terms"?

Quick, simple request and I appreciate any offers of help.

:lamo:

You'll have to find the language file that contains that text. It won't necessarily be in TPP files. The easiest way to find it would be to go to Admin->Developers Toolkit and search for the text 'Product Details.'

khopek,

Thanks so much as I was able to find a very obscure file named 091610_tpp.php which contained the text. I've used the DTK 1000's of times before but didn't find anything.

/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/091610_tpp.php

Don't ask me why it is named with a date as I had hired someone to install the mod and they were stumped too on how to change the text of the global tabs. The file may look differently on other sites but it may be xxxxxx_tpp.php, so look for that file as the text is easily changed to anything you want.

Thank you again....

Hi Everyone,

that product has the following added to it in product description

The name of this tab is "Product Description". This is the text on the product description tab.

This is where the next tab is created. All text from below this tag goes on the "Custom Information" tab.

Nothing shows up..the template is Modern Zen.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Be sure that you are adding <!--%Product Description%--> and the information under it while you are in Source Mode.

I'm in admin and I just copy paste the <!--%Product Description%--> and other tabs stuff into the Products Description: text box..

not sure what source mode means or how to get to it?

TPP 1.06 Works great for me but there is one little problem: Product descriptions pages which have not migrated yet to the tabbed format (i.e. their HTML is the classic Zen-Cart with no TPP directives) yield the following "Error on page" on Internet Explorer 8:

Webpage error details

User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Message: Object required
Line: 31
Char: 1

URI: http://www.<domain>.com/store/includes/templates/owntemplate/jscript/jscript_tpp.js

Note: This problem doesn't happen on Firefox.

Even on IE8, this problem doesn't occur on pages with tabs.

Since changing all products description is a long gradual process, I prefer to address this issue ASAP instead of trying to frantically rewrite hundreds of pages... This is also why I disable all default tabs and enabled only the global option (so that some pages have tabs while others don't).

Any idea how to get rid of this error (doesn't look good from a customer perspective).

Thanks.

I have installed as per docs but when i load my home page it is blank, when i go to my cache folder and download log it says:

[01-Oct-2010 17:10:40] PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /homepages/46/d21611304/htdocs/testing/zen/includes/functions/extra_functions/class.rlwp.php on line 23

Ive had a quick look in that file but all looks ok, whats is going wrong? Did anyone else's install do that?

Is ANYONE here using both Google Checkout and TPP?

dkerfoot:

Upgrading from ZC 1.3.7 to 1.3.9d.
Also added Tabbed Products Pro contrib

Google Checkout (GCO) was working fine for a long time.

now GCO doesn't work. For starters, I don't get a button anymore. I just get the option on checkout. If I chose it, and click continue checkout - I get to a "Confirm the Order" Page. I click the button and it brings me right back to the shopping cart.

Reinstalled GCO several time - no joy.

Any ideas?

See Attached.
In my experience using the tags, If you enter the tag while using WYSIWYG it won't create the tab.
You must enter the TAG in Source Mode then the information you want to appear in the tab, the TAG will create, after it. Doesn't matter if the info is immediately after it or a few lines down.
After you've done that, click the source button to return back to the WYSIWYG and you will not see the TAG <!--%Product Description%-->
Now click on Preview and Save, then go to your website and behold. http://minu.me/3235 My Specifications Tab

Just in case this helps. The source code button looks like this: <>
You can even see one when you click "Reply" in the forums here (although the one here doesn't put you in source mode, it just spits out some source code tags.) By clicking that button you switch to HTML code mode.
