Good morning all,

I have implemented Mark's lovely mod with a slight modification that you might find helpful.

If you have added the tabs and slide area to your flypage to show additional images, etc (basically so that it looks similar to the demo on this site) - and you only want the tab that has the thumbnails of the additional images to show IF there are additional images, then you can modify the mod using the following code.

PAGE: shop.product_details.php

REPLACE -

Code: :

$template = str_replace( "{prod_keywords}", $prod_keywords, $template );

WITH

Code: :

$template = str_replace( "{prod_keywords}", $prod_keywords, $template ); $moreimages_tab = " More Images ".$more_images."Click thumbnail to change main image if there is more than one image available."; if ($more_images > "") { $template = str_replace( "{moreimages_tab}", $moreimages_tab, $template ); } else { $template = str_replace( "{moreimages_tab}", "", $template ); }

Additionally on your flypage - Replace the tag for the More images tab

Hello and ty for this.

You are saying: "
If you have added the tabs and slide area to your flypage to show additional images"

Is that a special addon i havent found yet?

You can check out additional notes about how to implement tabs at the following link:

Hello - thanks for this mod. I'm trying to implement it but the code is a bit confusing as it appears here. The line that is confusing begins with $moreimages_tab = "

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank You,
steve

Oh wow, it actually created a tab in the code box.

Let's try this without code box and see if it works:

REPLACE:
$template = str_replace( "{prod_keywords}", $prod_keywords, $template );

WITH THIS:
$template = str_replace( "{prod_keywords}", $prod_keywords, $template );

$moreimages_tab = "{ tab = More Images }".$more_images."<br /><span class=smalltext>Click thumbnail to change main image if there is more than one image available.</span>";
if ($more_images > "") {
$template = str_replace( "{moreimages_tab}", $moreimages_tab, $template );
} else {
$template = str_replace( "{moreimages_tab}", "", $template );
}

** Remove the spaces in { tab = More Images } everywhere except the space between More and Images, before implementing.

Additionally on your flypage - Replace the tag for the More images tab

{more_images}

with this -->{moreimages_tab}

Perfect - thanks so much for the quick reply

For some reason i don't even have this --->


$template = str_replace( "{prod_keywords}", $prod_keywords, $template );


any ideas?

the prod_keywords refers to the series of lines beginning with $template = str_replace
each line has a keyword like navigation_pathway
product_name
product_image

The section of code begins with the comment NOW LET'S BEGIN AND FILL THE TEMPLATE

hope that helps

Got it. Well i have the tabs and all but thumbs won't show now.

This is what mine looks like - I added the code right after this line:


$template = str_replace( "{product_packaging}", $product_packaging, $template ); // Changed Packaging


so it looks like this now:


$template = str_replace( "{product_packaging}", $product_packaging, $template ); // Changed Packaging
$moreimages_tab = "{xtab=More Images}".$more_images."<br /><span class=smalltext>Click thumbnail to change main image if there is more than one image available.</span>";
if ($more_images > "") {
$template = str_replace( "{moreimages_tab}", $moreimages_tab, $template );
} else {
$template = str_replace( "{moreimages_tab}", "", $template );
}

Make sure to change xtab to tab
