Hello all,
I’m a new user, just started getting products loaded into 1.3.5-sp4.
I’ve searched the threads for a solution for this, and wondered if anyone has a simple fix or mod available.
Every product in my store will have a manual or datasheet for it that I would like for the customer to be able to download. This could be done in the product detail page. It would be very neat to have an option in the backend that would add a tab, similar to the “send to a friend” tab. It would be even better if that tab could be named to whatever you need, such as “manual”, “data sheet”, “specifications”, etc…
Then you could have a graphic, such as the pdf file graphic in the tab window that could be linked to a file.
This is done on so many sites that I visit and purchase from. It would be nice if it were available in CS-Cart.
If anyone has info, I would be grateful.
Thanks, gmccall
Update,
I did some more searching through various threads, and found out that snorocket might have just what I need through Club Addon. I joined last night and am waiting for a reply to a comment left about “Product Tabs 1.0 Addon”.
I’ll post results in this thread when and if I get a solution.
gmccall 1.3.5-sp4 
Hi gmccall, yea product tabs can do what you need, however note that CS 2.0 will have the capability to attach files such as product data sheets, instructions ect…
Hi snorocket,
I will probably migrate to v2.0 at some time, but i’m going to stick with 1.3.5-sp4 for a while, since I have just started with cs-cart. I have already done several mods to the skin code to get more of the look I’m after (thanks to all of the info on the forum ) so I would like to get the product tabs addon anyway to make life easier in the mean time.
If you could either reply or PM me with details on how I can donate to the “cause”, I would appreciate it. You guys do us all a great service by just having info, mods, and addons available. I applaud you.
Thanks,
Hi Snorocket,
Got the addon installed, works FANTASTIC. This opens up alot of options for the products on my store. I can have a tab for manuals/pdf’s, another for free product software, and so on.
For those who might be struggling with this issue:
You can create a tab on the product detail page that will open a small box. In that box, you can have a picture or icon. In the wysiwyg visual editor, it is easy to add the picture and then create a link out of it that will open a file on the server. I use it for pdf’s.
If anyone needs more info, let me know. I don’t know alot, but this works great.
Thanks again,
Glad you got it sorted, i don’t use Snorockets tabs mod, i created my own, but have a similar setup as you.

Thanks,

To be honest you’d be better off with Snorockets version as it has been developed to work with the new 2.0, and it’s easier to setup.
