different content for each product

hi,

i have a book store and i want to have a custom tab named : behind the scene from the writer.
i created a custom tab,
but then i realized that every product will have a different content in this tab,
can i do that with quick-tabs ?
can quick-tabs get the value (the content) of a product field and not a constant text ?

if not, can you suggest how can i do that (except of having many many custom tabs, each one will be link to one product - that means numerous tabs...)

Thanks,
Shay

anyone ?

i already bought the extension, so i appreciate your support.

Thanks,
Shay

Hi Shay,

The only way to do this is to reuse some of the already existing product properties i.e Short Description. So you can add you product specific data in the short description of the product and then create a tab called "behind the ..." that will use the product short description.

Hope this helps!

Best Regards

ok, that's might be good,
how can i insert the content from short description to my new custom tab ?

Hi Shay,

To add the content go to Plugins/SevenSpikes.Nop.Plugins.NopQuickTabs/Views/ProductTab/_ProductTabs.cshtml.
Open the view and go to line 203. Under the comment add the following code:

<li><a href="#tab-CustomTab">@T("CustomTab")</a> </li> 

After that go to line 216 and under the comment add the following code:

<div id="tab-CustomTab">
        @Model.ProductModel.ShortDescription
        </div>

Now you need to go to the Administration of your website Configuration=>Languages, click View string resources next to your language and click the Add new record button.
The Resource name property should be CustomTab and the value is the name of your tab in your language. After that click on the Insert button and you are ready.

ok, that was easy,
unfortunately, i thought by understand how to do that, i will succeed doing it for other things i wanted,
but no...

so my questions are -
1. can i put the product tags inside a quick-tab ?
2. i don't want to use ShortDescription (because i am using it), can i use AdminComment ?
(i tried, but i failed)

Thanks,
Shay

i still don't have a clue how to insert a different text for each product in one quick-tab.

another option - in version 2.80 i can create a custom attribute,
can a specific attribute (only one) can be the content of a quick tab ??

Thanks,
Shay

Hi Ivan Stoyanov,
I am using 3.0 Quick Tabs plugin and I need to show generic attribute value from the variant in the custom tabs, please advise me how to go about that?

Thanks
