Tabs

This seems so stupid, but I can't figure out why this is happening. I edited tabs.tpl to make my own top menu, very simple html image links, but the results repeat the image links 3 times. help?

Dawn, I'm sure someone can help you better if you can provide us with a screenshot, URL, or even the code you have written in tabs.tpl and any other template file you have edited.

tab.tpl

Code:

<TABLE border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

<TR>



<TD><IMG SRC=http://www.duffystric.com/Demo/home.jpg BORDER=0>

</TD>

<TD>

<IMG SRC=http://www.duffystric.com/Demo/onlinecatalog.jpg BORDER=0>

</TD>

<IMG SRC=http://www.duffystric.com/Demo/contactus.jpg BORDER=0>

</TABLE>

Thanks!

Glancing at the code I think the problem is you are not putting the image in quotes on the IMG SRC.

So, for example, try to replace it with this:

Code:

<TABLE border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

<TR>



<TD>[img]http://www.duffystric.com/Demo/home.jpg[/img]

</TD>

</TD>

<TD>

[img]http://www.duffystric.com/Demo/contactus.jpg[/img]

</TD>

</TR>

</TABLE>

Let me know if that fixes it!

I don't have " the begining of the IMG SRC tag either, but I corrected all my opening and closes, even thought that isn't a problem normally

Code:

<TABLE border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

<TR>

I really don't think the tab.tpl fiel is the issue, but I don't know what file is.

It's a little hard to post a screen shot because this issue stretches my store out, but here we go.

The speedbar repeats it's self 3 times. Any ideas?

The tab.tpl is called each time there is an item in the speedbar.

In your case you have 3 items, Home, Online Store, Contact Us and tab.tpl is being called each time and displaying all three each time.

I hope this makes sense...

I don't know a way to replace the tabs with images completely as they are dynamically generated by the speedbar settings. I expect most people use either css styled links (I do) or a generic background image that has the dynamic text applied over the top.

That was it - thanks! I removed all but one item on the speedbar, even though the link isn't being used, and it works.

You could also create a new tpl and call that instead of the tab.tpl,

I know that one of the X-Cart skin sets (fashion mosaic) uses code to call little icons next to a link. Basically, it's a code that says "if this is a link to X, then show this icon" and it displays it next to the link.

Anything is possible, but I reckon you'd be better off just coding your own tabs and ditch the XC code.
