Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

Great Mod. However, it doesn't work when I turn the fancy cat on. Any idea guys? I think somebody have asked about this issue before.

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

Does anyone have an opion on how this may affect the SEO of a site?

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

You absolutely CAN NOT put any content that is valuable to search engines in a tab that is not visible by default. Google has started penalizing for this. For example, say you have the upselling items in the visible tab, and the short description in a 'hidden' tab that only shows when clicked on. That short description will get penalized. Only use things like Send to Friend in the hidden tabs, that doesn't matter for SEO.

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

Or use a CSS tab menu as found at:

Google has indexed all our tabs and it works great. Very easy to customize...

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

Thanks for this - I wish I had seen it earlier as I have implimented a css / java version but taken Balinors advice and put the important details in the default visible tab.

see my example here - it really cleaned up my product pages..

I'll save this one in my to be modified section as its very clean css code and z-index seems to be the way to go for the most serach engine friendly tabbed information..

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

My tabs no longer work with the Shadow Box mod when there are detailed images and sounds like the same issue with Fancy Categories.

Anyone figure this out?

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

I am trying to use Tabber inside the detail product page to tab various subjects. When I try to copy the code into the detail description box, it disappears on save. I am running 4.19 and got the code from a friend that has done this successfully. Here is a sample from his site. http://www.jonathanproduct.com/product.php?productid=16187&cat=103&page=1

I am copying the code in from a note pad into the default detail description box for each product in hopes of having the tabs replace a long scrolling description.

With this mod, I can change the contents for each product to include description, ingredients, warnings, how to use etc.

Thanks for any ideas.

Regards,

Bob

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

Is there a way to include the extra fields in the tabbed menu?

Anybody?

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

Ive tried using the include function to get the extra fields to show up, but it does not work. Anybody can help to get the right code in product.tpl???

:D/

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

Bob,

Your site looks great and that product page is very similar to what I'm trying to accomplish. Any pointers for getting those tabs set up like you did?

Did I mention it looks great?

**edit: The only thing... your add to cart button is below the fold....that is definitely something I think you want to avoid**


**Update: I paid to have it done**

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

I have XCSEO installed and the Tabs menu disappeared... does anyone know the solution? TIA

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

Hi,

I bought [FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']the X-Cart Ultimate Tabbed Product Menu v4.x from [/font]xcartmods.co.uk.
It works find in IE7 but doesn't work in Firefox. I seems that something blocks the script.

Any idea ?

:-( :(

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

You should open a ticket with Xcartmods.co.uk

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

I did it. Here is the answer :

[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Hi, there shouldn't be any issues with Firefox, as you can see by viewing my site in FF.[/font]

[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']There must be a conflict somewhere, as it looks like you have many mods.[/font]



[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Firstly, try enabling the persistence feature in tabs.js[/font]

var enabletabpersistence=1 //remember last visited tab? 1=yes, 0=no

[FONT='Arial','sans-serif']If you forward temporary FTP access, I don't mind taking a look for you.[/font]
[FONT='Arial','sans-serif'][/font]
I have forwarded ftp access. Since Wednesday, no more answers.

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

We can see it with this URL : http://www.carteq.fr/set-complet-double-din-Peugeot-308.html in Firefox.

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

My new site being build and the skin had the product tabs in it already. Looks really good, much cleaner.... BUT as far as SEO goes, im not sure its the best course.

But, ive heard from a few that a A/B test confirms that having tabs converts to more sales. With this being mentioned, I was wondering what you all think and if you have any personal experience confirming or denying they make a difference or not at the end of the day.

Also, has anyone initiated the tabs based on this thread with the newest Xcart version?

Thanks

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

I think for products with a large amount of detail and technical information that is not important for Search, tabs are a great way of keeping your product pages nice and clean.

In saying that, I would ensure that all information that is important from a Search point of view is visible on page load to be sure and safe.

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

for me it works in IE but does not work in FIREFOX.

Any ideas why??

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

Hi guys, I have implemented this and took a lot of effort trying to make it fit the site design, there was mention in an earlier post about the tabber box no going all around the tabs, I had this problem and it is due to using the rounded corners mod, I removed this for the product centre part and all is fine, if anyone wants to take a look visit http://www.4furryfeet.com, it looks great, please remember this is a live site.

The only thing I could do with some help on is I have Price Match from Phil and this is on tab 3, I can get my button to go straight to the tab etc, but Phil's mod updates the price match module with a result, e.g. "Thanks we'll get back to you" after a successful submission, but I am trying to make sure that the tabber goes back to this tab after the page reloads so that the customer can see this message, any ideas.

I have tried putting <a "javascript:tabShow(3)"</a> but I am not sure this is formatted right or where to put it. in PriceMatch_tpl the following creates the submit button and the result.

<td>{include file="buttons/submit.tpl" type="input" style="button" href="javascript: return VF_pricematch();"}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
{/if}
{if $smarty.get.sendpmok eq "1"}
<div style="color:#009900;font-weight:bold;padding:10px;">{$lng.lbl_Price_Match_T hanks}</div>
{elseif $smarty.get.sendpmok eq "2"}
<div style="color:#FF0000;font-weight:bold;padding:10px;">{$lng.lbl_Price_Match_E rror}</div>
{/if}

I have tried all combos I can think of to get this to kick in after the relaod, but to no avail, any help greatly appreciated.

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

I've just completed installing this Mod and it works in FF and Safari. Has anyone altered this mod to have rounded corners for each tab?

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

ChristineP, I had to take rounded corners off to actually get it to work properly.

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

Anyone try this in 4.2 yet?

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

I'm following to see if anyone was able to extra product fields to work as a tab?

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

I have extra field working as a tab, however I need someone to help me with showing this tab only for each product when content is there.

Try this:
for the Tabs area

{if $active_modules.Extra_Fields eq "11"}
<li><a href="#tabs" rel="tcontent6"><!--{$lng.lbl_customer_reviews}-->Cable Dimensions</a></li>
{/if}

and for the <div> area

{if $active_modules.Extra_Fields ne ""}
<div id="tcontent6" class="tabcontent">
{include file="modules/Extra_Fields/product.tpl"}
</div>
{/if}

Added note: The Extra Field field ID (fieldid) number will be found in your MYSQL database, and is not the orderby number.

Hi,
Anyone try this in x-cart pro 4.1.9 & 4.1.11 ?

Thanks to all again.

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

Learner, this works fine on 4.1.9, I should think the same for 4.1.11 as there is little difference between the two, just bug fixes and minor enhancements.

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

Hi,
Thanks chris.barber for your response. But the tab menu was not working on x-cart Pro 4.1.11? The tab buttons was not showing on the product detail page!!!!
Any bug?Please help me to do this.

Thanks to all again.

Does anybody know if this works in 4.x?

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

This works on 4.1.9

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

Any response to solve this issue? I need help from forum.

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

Any modification of codes to solve this issue !!! Actually it conflicts with fancy category module.I need help from forum.

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

I'm having the same issue with fancy cats conflicting with tabber. I have many categories and wanted to use fancy cats, but for some reason whenever I switch fancy cats on, it prevents tabber from working. I can't figure out what the issue is. Is there an alternative to fancy cats that I can try to implement or has anyone encountered the same issue and have a fix for it. If not is there anyone that can fix this & for how much? They are both great features and necessary for my site, and want to be able to implement both tabber and fancy cats. I can provide my code if that would help. Thanks in advance. This forum has been invaluable to me.

Re: Menu with Tabs for Product page
 

Try this mod- http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=11094&highlight=tabs
