@Comesticage
I told you it was already built in
Put this into your configure.php

  define ( 'PRODUCT_TABS_REVIEWS_TAB','True' )

My issue is I want to set this value in the admin control panel. Not hard coded.

If you take a look at /includes/modules/product_tabs.php you will see where it calls for reviews and some other things.

@newburns

You are correct.

After inserting

define ( 'PRODUCT_TABS_REVIEWS_TAB','True' )

into both configure.php files of

/shop/catalog/includes

and

/shop/catalog/admin/includes

There is an additional tab that says reviews.

But when i went into my website of each individual product,

i got an error msg.

Warning: include(includes/modules/product_reviews.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/17/8283017/html/shop/catalog/includes/modules/products_tabs.php on line 135

@Comesticage
Upload the attached file to \includes\modules\
My PHP is very rough, just a lot of copying and pasting from other places, but as soon as I understand what's going on with PHP, I promise to fix it and update the contrib file.

@newburns

It is working now!

It's perfect! =)) I am impressed by you.

Another question, why are the default "stars ratings so ugly" the stars are not yellow and symmetrical.. look more like a starfish. Do you know how to change them?

@Comesticage
Line 100 Calls for the stars

<?php echo tep_break_string(tep_output_string_protected($reviews['reviews_text']), 440, '-<br />') . ((strlen($reviews['reviews_text']) >= 500) ? '...' : '') . '<br /><br /><i>' . sprintf(TEXT_REVIEW_RATING, tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'stars_' . $reviews['reviews_rating'] . '.gif', sprintf(TEXT_OF_5_STARS, $reviews['reviews_rating'])), sprintf(TEXT_OF_5_STARS, $reviews['reviews_rating'])) . '</i>'; ?>

Basically, it calls for tep_image(
Then it goes into the image directory
Looks for "stars_"
The "." in PHP is just a connector
So connected to "stars_" is $reviews['reviews_rating'] . gif
Or in other words "stars_1.gif" if it is a 1 star review
To change either change the image in the image folder, or create our own, and replace "stars_" with the replacement

I don't really like it, but I will make it look better later
Have to finish my courses for http://www.w3schools.com/php/
May even buy the certification afterwards

Found a solution finally! Solved it myself!

[newburns]

I see it. You had an if statement without a function to run.
So the   if ($banner = tep_banner_exists('dynamic', '468x50')) { ?> was the error.
And thus, the ending function close "}"

What was that for originally?

@newburns

Hi,

I believe it was because of this addon that i was doing.

Phew

[vampirehunter]

is this the best tabs plugin?

[newburns]

@vampirehunter
This adds tabs to the "Products".
The TMS Plugin adds tabs to the menu. Similar to Pagination in a way.
Not Really, but TMS is for navigation moreso than product tabs.
I'm not aware of any other tab system

example -- http://mtrosemedia.tk/store

The Products Specifications addon includes tabs on the Product Info page, since it needs someplace to put the specifications. It all depends on what you need the tabs for. More information would be helpful.
