On more tabs solution on the product details page
 

Hello,

I know there are a lot of solutions to organize tabs on the product details page. The following is one of it for 4.2.1 X-Cart version (It can be easily applied for all the version of 4.2.x branch)

example: http://dev.qualiteam.biz/~xim/_projects/ajax/product.php?productid=70

features:
* Admin can define the style of showing sections: default or tabs-style;
* Possibility to select the style of Related & Recommended products displaying (thumbs or list);
* Using AJAX technology (without page reloading) in 'Send to friend' section to send the requests;
* fully CSS-based and w3c validated as the rest skin;
* modification is adapted to Light & Lucid skin.


To install the mod into store you should:
0. !!! Make the backup of the current X-Cart system.
1. Unpack the attached archive.
2. Copy all the files from "files" folder to your X-Cart root directory (this folder contains only the new created files of this mod).
3. Apply the "patch.diff" diff under the admin area on the "Patch/Upgrade" page (this file contains the changes in the existed files of X-Cart).
4. Apply the "patch.sql" SQL changes under the admin area on the "Patch/Upgrade" page.
5. Clear template's and browser's cache and review the result.

Also you can change the look and feel of the tabs by editing the corresponding CSS-classes at the end of the "main.css" file (the "product page tabs style" part)

If you have any remarks or corrections, please, do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks. Great job.

When I click on tabs (and I scrolled down a little), the content jumps up and down.

Is it an elegant way to keep the content fixed and use some AJAX effects?

yes the easy is just one word :) by the way my friend phil the rss still not working even with php 5 (if you remember our speak)

Re: On more tabs solution on the product details page
 

also you can add extra tabs like other product tabs module or is just for the default x-cart modules (send to friend, related, etc)??

Re: On more tabs solution on the product details page
 

This mod is just a prototype of AJAX rating which will be released in X-Cart 4.3 (see roadmap: http://www.x-cart.com/roadmap.html).

If you would like to have this mod on 4.2 you can use the mod by xcartmods.co.uk or order our custom development service (please, contact us via HelpDesk system).

Re: On more tabs solution on the product details page
 

The current mod supports only the showing of the default X-Cart sections. However by editing the "skin1/customer/main/product_tabs.tpl" template you can add any other tabs you would like.

Just use the same name for span's id and class name of the cont-taba div.

Re: On more tabs solution on the product details page
 

hello my friend xim, first of all thank you for your great job. I wasn't enable to install your mod on my shop because i already has a tabs mod that was giving me the option to add extra tabs, and defind their content while adding the product. And i had some tabs on many products with content, so i wasnt enable to start from 0 again..

But anyway i took the advantages of your script, and using some of your files i changed my related products and recommended to thumnails view and the send to friend to ajax..

ALSO A SMALL BUG :
You load two times the check_required_fields_js.tpl and the ajax_stf.js
that is happening because you load them from product_tabs.tpl and also from ajax_send_to_friend.tpl
I don't know if that makes any problem at all, but anyway if someone doesn't fill any of the fields, or it fill it with wrong way, then he get 2 times each error message like "The required field "name" is empty"

Re: On more tabs solution on the product details page
 

Thank you. Our team removed the duplicate and I re-uploaded the archive with correct version of the files (the following templates in the "skin1/customer/main" directory have been changed: "ajax_send_to_friend.tpl", "product_tabs.tpl")
