On each product page in the cscart demo there are three product tabs:



Description / Send to Friend / Tabs



I wish to add a fourth tab 'Delivery' which will contain a paragraph of text.

Could someone please point out how I do this as Im completely lost.



Thanks,

Hello Bart,



Thank you for your message.



In this case you can create a product tab as an HTML block:


  1. In your CS-Cart administration panel, go to Design > Product Tabs and click the Add Tab button.
  2. In the opened window, specify the tab name and click the Select Block button.
  3. In the opened window, open the Create New Block tab and select HTML block.
  4. Specify the name of the block.
  5. In the Content tab, add your paragraph of text to the text input area.
  6. Click the Create button and click the Save button.



    After this, the created product tab with the specified text will appear on the product details page in the storefront. Please check it.



    Thank you.

I have successfully added a product tab containing a paragraph of text identical across all products (i.e, a 'Delivery' tab)



Description / Delivery / Send to Friend / Tabs



Is there also a way to add a 5th product tab that allows one to add specific text for each product. For example, I wish to add a tab 'Dimensions' that will contain text that differs depending on which product is selected.



Thanks,

bart

Hello Bart,



Thank you for your message.



Sure, you can create the 5th tab in the same way. However, after creating the tab you should go to the editing product page in your CS-Cart admin panel and open the Product tabs tab. In this tab, click on the block settings link of the new tab created. In the opened window, open the Content tab and specify unique text for the product edited. You can use the same steps to specify unique text for each of your products.



Please check it.



Thank you.

I have followed the steps for adding a new product tab called “Quotations.” I'm selling books, and on SOME products I want to add small quotations as teasers to pique people's interest in the book. I don't have quotations for all books yet.



My problem is that when I create a new tab called “Quotations”, when I go to create the new html block for this, it FORCES me to enter some content into that block. This results in a new tab on EVERY product in my store with that same content. I'm not seeing a way to limit this tab to ONLY products that I have sample quotations for. I'm probably missing something really simple here so would appreciate any help.
