Posted - 04/26/2021 : 06:27:47 I have a site with 200+ products, 100+ of them need a description of the material the items are made out of. I'd love to add a "tab" on the detail page with this information so I'm not adding to the Long Description. Is it possible to combine dynamic tabs and a custom tab? I currently have INFO, REVIEWS and RELATED on the details page. Wasn't sure how I added a custom tab after RELATED and couldn't find the answer at https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/help/dynamic-tabs.asp Bill

I guess in order to only add this to 100 of the products you would still have to add code to the product detail page such as... if getget("prodid")="this" OR getget("prodid")="that" then ecttabsextracontent="<ecttab title=""Extra Tab"">Tab content" end if Is this the kind of thing you were looking for?

In the end the parameter is... ectextralongdescription="Whatever extra you want to add" Really, this can be use to add to the TABS or the non-tabbed long description so I chose a paramter name that was more generic.

kelleymoore Ecommerce Template Expert USA 986 Posts	Posted - 05/05/2021 : 06:56:46 I was just wondering about this the other day! What are the steps I need to take creating it as an extra tab rather than adding it to the Long Description? Thanks, Kelley Edited by - kelleymoore on 05/05/2021 06:57:05
Vince Administrator 42766 Posts	Posted - 05/06/2021 : 03:06:49 Hi Kelley In the end the tabs are really just the long description. So to make what you add a tab it would be for instance... ectextralongdescription="<ecttab title="Extra Tab">Whatever extra you want to add</ecttab>" Vince Click Here for Shopping Cart Software Click Here to sign up for our newsletter Click Here for the latest updater
kelleymoore Ecommerce Template Expert USA 986 Posts	Posted - 05/06/2021 : 06:48:40 Thanks, I'll give it a go! :) How do I assign that to individual products? Can I create unique content for more than one product? Kelley Edited by - kelleymoore on 05/06/2021 07:59:28
Vince Administrator 42766 Posts	Posted - 05/07/2021 : 04:35:47 Hi Kelley The idea of this is that it would be for something you would want to add to everything. It could be used for specific products with a bit of code added just before the incproddetail.asp include line, something like this for instance... <% if getget("prod")="firstprodid" OR getget("prod")="secondprodid" OR getget("prod")="thirdprodid" then ectextralongdescription="<ecttab title="Extra Tab">Whatever extra you want to add</ecttab>" end if %> Vince Click Here for Shopping Cart Software Click Here to sign up for our newsletter Click Here for the latest updater
kelleymoore Ecommerce Template Expert USA 986 Posts	Posted - 05/07/2021 : 06:09:26 OK. It would be cool to be able to add it to a category of products, for example. We offer some custom made items and when things change, we have to go into the category for those products and change the Long Description for each one of them. If I could assign them a custom tab, then we would only need to change the text on the parameter for that custom tag. Way easier. :) Thanks, Kelley
