EasyTabs - Magento products tabs extension
This entry was posted on August 4, 2009.
Great stuff, thanks. Do you use any Magento extensions? I used many that did a great deal to help to speed up page page download times. It took a lot to get 100% and function to our needs but now it's rock solid. Saved thousands on webserver charges by having it in the cloud! Thanks, Kathy.
I've installed the latest files into my site which has the HelloPress theme. Instead of app/design/frontend/default/DEFAULT/template/easytabs, I used app/design/frontend/default/HELLOPRESS/template/easytabs since that is my active theme. Even though the tabs are enabled through the administration panel, the tabs are not showing up on the product page. It's showing the old tabs that were there to begin with. What do I need to change in order for this to work on a modified theme?
Sorry but this theme is based on modern magent theme most likely. So Easytabs will not work for it right out of the box.
any update for IE9
It's already available at our store. Please let us know if you have any problem with it.
I installed Easy Tabs, was working great, but then I put an image in the 2nd tab, and the 2nd tab disappeared and the image is under the content of the 1st tab. Only the first tab is showing. and all content is under the 1st tab. It only happens when I add an image to the 2nd tab attribute. How do I fix this?
Thanks!

Can you check if tabs content doesn't has any unclosed tags?
We have the exact same problem. If custom tab's content has only image, then the tags for the custom tab are not produced and the content of the custom tab shows in the description tab.
If we however add a text paragraph before the image to the custom tab's content, then the tab is generated as it should and everything is ok.
We don't have any unclosed tags in the custom tab's content.
My previous comment stripped by the commenting system. In the first paragraph I mentioned
"... then the tags for the custom tab are not produced..."
That should be
"... then the li-tags fot the custom tab are not produced..."
Same Issue :(
I don't know this will fix the issue for you guys. But in my case it did. The custom tab is expecting some content (not just image). At
"app\design\frontend\default\default\template\easytabs\tabs.phtml" line 36 there is a condition, which checks for string length
"if($this->getChildHtml($_tab['alias']) && strlen(strip_tags(trim($this->getChildHtml($_tab['alias']))))>0)"
change that to (>=0) fixed my issue.
Remember, there may be some impacts bcz of this. Like some products may not have any attribute value, but the tab might be displayed regardless of this.
I also met with the 404 error.
what's wrong?
magento 1.5.1.0.
You should just logout from admin and then log in again.
I have install the easy tab,matter of few clicks,however tabs are not appearing in frontend, I have upload the files to my custom theme,blank and default, but still no luck. everything is set in backend, please help.

Hi Templates Master,
Is there a way to insert custom options / add to cart elements of the product page inside a tab?
The idea i had in mind was to use the space for configurable products which have multiple options and tier pricing
Yes you can do that. But you should create new template that will contain both custom options and add to cart elements and then assign it to new custom tab.
Hi Mark,
Do you find the solution for custom options, can you help me?

Hi, I have installed by uploading files viw FTp only when i go into configuration i dont see on the left "templates master- Easy Tabs" as per the screenshot you have.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Best regards

I have the same problem.
I installed the extension-source version 1.2.2 through download ftp into magento 1.6.0.
The TM_Core and TM_EasyTabs are enable in admin/config/avanced/avanced but the TemplateMasterExtansion menu don't show in left side of admin/system/configuration.
Regards
Pedro
Please check if your store cache was refreshed or set off. Please also check if you have put files into right folders.
Please check if your magento version is 1.4+ and your store cache is set off.
Sorry if it's been answered before. I tried searching through these comments.
Is there a file I can edit to add more than 5 custom tabs? I really need the ability to have upwards of 15 custom tabs.
Thank you!
You, but its abit of work. You need to edit. BACKUP ALL THE FILES YOU EDIT, and if you break it... Not my fault... :)
--
go to the /app/design/frontend/default//template/easytabs
copy catlalogproductcutom(x).phtml to the numbers you need (so if you have 10 tables you will have ...custom9.phtml) (remember, 1=2, 2=3, they are starting at 0)
Make sure you edit your new files to change the number, the customtabid= field.
--
--
Now go to the ../layout folder, and edit the easytabs.xml. Copy the "<action metod=addtab..." for the "Custom tabs" to match the amount you need... Pretty easy here.
--
--
Now go to /app/code/comminity/TM/EasyTabs/etc and edit system.xml This one is the harder one... as its easy to get confused, since you are dealing with -1 numbers (again, 1=2, 2=3)
Around line 101, there should be the start of your customtabs. You need to copy *3* sets per tab. There will be:
Enable custom tab #1
Custom tab #1 attribure id
Custom tab #1 name
You need to copy all of the content for those 3 sections PER tab you make... once you copy them, you need to make sure the numbers all match up... Here is my 9th tab, for example :
Enable custom tab #9
select
adminhtml/system_config_source_yesno
91
1
1
1
Custom tab #9 attribute id
Show value of product attribute with following identifier
text
92
1
1
1
Custom tab #9 name
text
93
1
1
1
You need to make sure you change the labels, and the tab IDs. (take a few to study all the files before you make changes, so you can understand how it works)

You now need to change the config.xml and add the tab ids in there under the section.

Unless I forgot something, that should do ya!
Hope it helps. Again! BACK UP YOUR FILES before you do this.

Bah, they cut the code out.. Leave your email and I'll send it to you.
Yes sure. You can edit easytabs.xml and duplicate also templates for additional custom tabs.
