Inconsistent Tabbed Views for Products

Hi Guys,

I'm using NoNumber Tabs to show a tabbed view in my products, but I've noticed they are somewhat inconsistent.

If you click a product (Ape Ale as an example) from this page - craftkeg.com/index.php/all-products you'll see the tabbed view display fine.

However if you do the same from this page craftkeg.com/index.php/all-products/view...egory/85-blue-monkey you'll notice the tabbed view is not displayed correctly.

The difference I guess is that the first is a products listing page and the second is a catergory listing page. Is there a way to make them both consistantly show the correct tabbed view?

Kind Regards,

Matthew

PS, the site is nearing it's launch date, so hopefully I won't have to keep bothering you with questions soon!

Hi,
Can you show me some screenshots of the problem that you are having ? Then I'll probably be able to understand the problem that are having.

Hi Mohamed,

Sure thing, please see image attached. The Chrome screen is if I click a product from a Product Listing, the Firefox screen is when I click a product from a Category Listing. As you can see the tabbed view is not displaying correctly in Firefox.

Hi,

It looks like there is no mootools in your website so there are some javascript errors.
I tried with Chrome and there is no more mootools and I don't have the tabs or the vote either.

Hi Jerome,

I had a plugin that disabled Mootools for certain menu items. I've re-enabled Mootools and the site is now running extremely slow, to a point where it's not satisfactory enough for customers to use it.

If I need Mootools to get these Hikashop features working, is there another way to speed the site up. Please note I've already got Caching and Gzip Page Compression enabled.

Hi,

I don't think that the enabling/disabling of mootools is the real source of the problem.
It's just a javascript library.

But you can deactivate mootools and not use the tab view for the product page.
If you want tabs without mootools, you can override the "show_tabbular" view and change the way that tabs are made in order to use jQuery instead.

I'm not so worried about the tabs, but if I disable the Mootools then I can't see the stars for the voting, and also the image opens up in a new window instead of appearing in the pop-up, which I assume is related to the javascript? www.craftkeg.com/index.php/light/pale/product/47-ape-ale

Hi,

The vote system will be migrate to jQuery, it is already in our TODO list.
The popup is the Joomla popup system, we can't change anything for that except if you integrate your own popup system and edit the view to use your popup system instead of the Joomla one. For that too we started a development in order to have more popup system.

Joomla 2.5 is still based on Mootools, with Joomla 3.0 there is a begging of jQuery but mootools still there.
We uses Joomla so logically, we use mootools.

Regards,

Thanks for your response Jerome. Is there something you could recommend then if you don't think Mootools if the cause of the site being slow?

Hi,

I don't think that mootools will be the source because it does not impact the server, just the client.
