Make The "shipping Properties" Tab Visible Before Create?

Multi-Vendor Questions
1

Hello,

We are currently signing vendors up and having them add their products to the site. However, a huge percentage of the vendors (like 90%) are not adding their shipping information to the product listing.

We think what is happening is that the "Shipping Properties" tab isn't visible until the vendor hits the "Create" button, so they likely believe they are done creating the product listing once they click the button.

So, my thought is to make the tab visible initially. Could doing this cause any problems? If not, how would I make this change?

Thanks for your help,

Jason

app/controllers/backend/products.php

Please add

        'shippings' => array (
            'title' => __('shipping_properties'),
            'js' => true
        ),

after the following part of code:

        'addons' => array (
            'title' => __('addons'),
            'js' => true
        ),

Then clear cache

Hey, this worked for those tabs but is there a way to show the "Products tabs" + "Features" + "Layouts" as well?

Or is it somehow disabled for any reason? (I tried copying the same code that appears in "update" mode but it these 3 tabs didn't appear)

I am afraid, these objects can be edited after the product is created only. For example, the features are linked to the categories. If the product is not created, we cannot get list of features since the system does know product category

Ah I see, thanks.
