Hi, I am trying to put tabs on a category page and list the products on one of the tabs. Since the products within a category are all closely related, the description, reviews, details etc can be the same for all products.

You can see what I am trying to accomplish here:
http://www.kapabiosystems.com/products/ ... -qpcr-kits

Notice that on this site, the products are not linked to any other pages.

Thanks

A quick look tells me that that site is not using categories to do what you want to do. They are using products with options.
So your category is the product and your product is an option.

If you look at the menu on the left and scroll down, you will see a link for categories. If you click on it, it does not show what you want. Rather, what you want is shown as a "product"

Try using "product" with "options" to achieve your desired effect. But then you would need to write a mod to list the products in the category menu on the left.

The other way is to mod cateogries but that would be too hard, easier to mod the category menu on the left ro list your products.

Hi Thanks, I tried using product as options. But I think fundamentally my problem is that I lack the ability to code tabs into the page. I am basically just trying to get the site to look good. My category descriptions are very long.

I think a good solution would be to add tabs with the description, products & related searches to the category page. However, I am not sure how to do this.

Can you help.

Thanks
Glen
