Guest Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 Download location: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1270 This update combines category tabs and menu tabs contributions I have written and modified. I have added admin screen with a number of configuration parameters so the average user does not have to edit code to change the look and feel of the contibution. Cat_Menu tab is published as a stand alone contribution Version 2.0a, if you have thema installed Version 2.0b. A version for Theme by Paul Langford will be developed Version 2.0c. I have included a few of other tabs in the alt tabs directory they are different styles and colors. To use them simple copy the 6 images over those in the images/tabs. the tab is formed from three images a left middle and right. each button is on or off which is detected in the script. These have not been updated since version 1.x. Features: Current page is indicated by a different color text label and alternate tab. Use language system of OSC. Mouse over: move your mouse over the tab and the text will change colors. Netscape 4.x this is not working. Can turn on and off tabs in admin. Can add and edit tabs in admin Has a number of tabs pre loaded with translations (note: admin labels currently only english) single row or multiple rows of category and menu tabs. can assign buttons to row of choice. change order of tabs. category tabs and menu tabs use same images if you use catagory tabs included. the following are new features added: admin screen was added to change these configuration variables. 4 basic layout styles added. 1. Menu then category tabs in seperate blocks. 2. Category then menu tabs in seperate blocks. 3. Menu then category tabs as one continous string. 4. Category then menu tabs as one continous string. menu tabs configuration for layouts 1 and 2 can turn on and off with in admin screen set postition , left, center or right of tab set. number of spaces between tabs. add Background color behind tabs when configuring layout 3 and 4 hide look and feel configuration in menutab. Category and menu tab configuration select one of four layout styles number of blank tabs between category and menu tabs sets for layouts 3 and 4 can specify number of tabs per row number of tabs in a row for layout 3 and 4 layouts. multiple configurations available selectable in admin, configuration can be activated or deactivated as needed add Background color behind tabs number of spaces between tabs rewrite of category code to make to be more like menu tab can have tabs be left, center, right justified If a configuration parameter is not need by a layout, it will not appear on the admin screen It appears to work with IE 5.0 and higher , Netscape 4.7x, 6.0 and higher, mozilla 1.0 and higher. In mozilla there is a slight rendering error on the bottom side ot the tabs. The demo will be the location of the future store currently you will not be charged, but at some time in the future you go there I would not purchase anything. Demo location: Known problem: Slight rendering problem in Netscape and Mozilla when adding spaces between tabs features that didn't make it into this version: get hide a category working if still used by other contributions. create how to instructions as html and/or pdf (Started but it will be a large file) create the ability to overlab tabs display sub menu and sub categories as tabs select pre-defined image for tab sets from the admin way to have admin view configuration and design but not let customer see untill active. add the ability for store owner to add there own layouts add the abillity for store owners to add their own image tabs from the admin Download location: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1270 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I am using the hteme version of this and have a big problem. When the menu tab is set to inactive - the categories still appear where the menu would be. That should not be the case right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 I caught your question on another thread. I had not gotten a chance to work on Paul langford's theme version. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrely Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Hi Tom, Thanks for the mod, it's really helpful. I seem to be having a problem with the menu tabs not hanging onto their SID's. Everytime a user clicks a link from a menu tab, they get a new session ID. I was hoping you could help me out here, or at least give me a step in the right direction and let me know which files I have to edit. Thanks!

jewelrytrends Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 ok fixed the previous one... now, can anyone tell how I can add a home page tab before the category tabs?? thanx <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi, I was looking around to find a tab solution for the product-info page. Could this work with it, and (sorry, for this question) how? It would look like this: tab1Description tab2related or xsell product tab3 reviews I looked to the contrib product-tabsv1 that comes close to this , but it doesn't show in mozilla.

oldschoo Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I have installed this contribution. Every things seems to be working, EXCEPT, I can not add a new menu tab. I get the following error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function merge_array() in /home/****/public_html/shop/admin/menu_tab.php on line 103 Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Guest Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I can't get this thing to work at all. I can't figure out what to do with the 1st step in the installation instructions: 1. Add the following to the database: INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES('Category Tabs', 'CATEGORY_TABS', 'Tabs', 'Choose to have category tabs, the category box on the left, or both.', '1', '2', now(), '', "tep_cfg_select_option(array('Tabs', 'Box', 'Both'),"); Is there another tab contribution out there or can someone point me to some other implementation of menu tabs?

newbie2009 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 These are basic things you have to learn before you plan to build a site. The first step in that installation is to add that query to the database using phpmyadmin. I guess you know what myphpadmin is as you have aleady created a database before you installed your oscommerce. the quicker way to add a table is by clicking on the small "SQL" button on the left hand side below the phpMyAdmin logo. This will bring up a query window where you can past that code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Thank you for your reply Robert. I followed your instructions and pasted the piece of code 'as is' below in the Window that opened when I started phpMyAdmin: configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES('Category Tabs', 'CATEGORY_TABS', 'Tabs', 'Choose to have category tabs, the category box on the left, or both.', '1', '2', now(), '', "tep_cfg_select_option(array('Tabs', 'Box', 'Both'),"); I clicked on 'GO' and got the following error: MySQL said: Documentation #1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_descr' at line 1 What am I doing wrong?
