We want to change the product tabs in the product detail page

I started this a while back .. and Phil - helped me add some code to the includes/product_tabs.php file

The code adds the additional tab ... but the information that is supposed to go in that tab appears underneath the text box for the first tab

see this

How do I get that info to hide - until you click on the second tab ?

thanks

Donna,
What did you name your second tab?

I see in the code: id="product-tabs-second tab"

This is wrong, you can't have a space in your id. Put a dash there instead, and see if that has an effect. Whatever you have done, it is causing an error in jQuery UI, I can see that from the console.

ahh - yes - that seemed to make the tabs right

I"m still trying to sort out what info I can put in there

I tried to pull in pricing info - but that didn't work. I guess I'll just stick with the extra field info for now.

I started this a while ago- and forgot how to get the info !

Thanks

What if I want different tabs for different categories ?

Can I create them all in the include/product_tabs.php file

then do some sort of if {$product.categoryid eq 23 } do this ... But that will change the content - but not the tab

I dont think I can put the $product.categoryid != 23 in the file that creates the tabs - cause it won't know yet will it ?
$product_tabs[] = array(
'title' => func_get_langvar_by_name('lbl_tab2'),
'tpl' => 'modules/Extra_Fields/tab2.tpl',
'anchor' => 'Information'
);
$product_tabs[] = array(
'title' => func_get_langvar_by_name('lbl_tab3'),
'tpl' => 'modules/Extra_Fields/tab3.tpl',
'anchor' => 'Pricing'
);

if($product_categoryid == 23) { add this tab ... else add a different tab ?

I suppose I should just go try it !

Hmm - this did not work

if($product.categoryid == '49') {
$product_tabs[] = array(
'title' => func_get_langvar_by_name('lbl_tab1cat'),
'tpl' => 'modules/Extra_Fields/tab1cat1.tpl',
'anchor' => 'Data'
);
}

For individual product tabs - https://www.cflsystems.com/custom-product-tabs-for-x-cart-classic.html
There is another module for global tabs by Smack Digital

Remember the difference between PHP and Smarty. You can't use Smarty style code in a PHP file!!

if($product.categoryid == '49')

Should be:

if($product['categoryid'] == 49)

That is, if it is even assigned or available in the context you are in.

One of the modules Steve mentioned might really help.

[DBK Web Builder]

Yes - you are right - that technically fixes the php ... but it doesn't know the categoryid at that stage.

I better look at those mods

thanks

Steve - can that be made to work by category ?

I have too many products (I'm importing by bulk with sql) - to set the tabs for each product...

If I could set them by category - that module will work.

Thanks

Not really, it work on products. But you can populate its table with sql directly.

Making work on category (and show on all of its products) will require basically creating it as a new module for categories. Which of course is also possible...
