Is it possible to hide that tab if there has been no description input?

Thanks very much.

Yes it is possible, you just need to make some changes in "catalog/view/theme/default/template/product/product.tpl" assuming you are using the default template or "catalog/view/theme/default/'template name'/product/product.tpl" if using a different template

You need to test if $description is empty so you need to wrap

Code: Select all

<a href="#tab-description"><?php echo $tab_description; ?></a>
and

Code: Select all

<div id="tab-description" class="tab-content"><?php echo $description; ?></div>
in a check to see if $description is empty, as below

Code: Select all

				
<?php if (!(ctype_space($description) || $description == '')) { ?>
<a href="#tab-description"><?php echo $tab_description; ?></a>
<?php } ?>
and

Code: Select all

<?php if (!(ctype_space($description) || $description == '')) { ?>
<div id="tab-description" class="tab-content"><?php echo $description; ?></div>
<?php } ?>
There is a vqmod attached that might help, if you are using the default template

Cheers

In my theme's product.tpl file, through trial & error I found that commenting out the following block of lines removes the description tab for every product:

Code: Select all

<ul class="nav nav-tabs" role="tablist">
			        	<?php $i = 0; foreach($tabs as $tab) { $i++;
			        		$id = 'tab_'.$i;
			        		if($tab['content'] == 'description') { $id = 'tab-description'; }
			        		if($tab['content'] == 'attribute') { $id = 'tab-attribute'; }
			        		if($tab['content'] == 'review') { $id = 'tab-review'; }
			        		$class = false;
			        		if($i == 1) { $class = 'class="active"'; $new_active = $id; }
			        		echo '<li role="presentation" ' . $class . '><a href="#'.$id.'" aria-controls="'.$id.'" role="tab" data-toggle="tab">'.$tab['heading'].'</a></li>';
			        	} ?>
			        </ul>
			        <div class="tab-content">
			        <?php $i = 0; foreach($tabs as $tab) { $i++;
			        	$id = 'tab_'.$i;
			        	if($tab['content'] != 'description' && $tab['content'] != 'attribute' && $tab['content'] != 'review') {
			        		echo '<div id="'.$id.'" class="tab-pane';
			        		if($new_active == $id) { echo ' active'; }
			        		echo '" role="tabpanel">'.$tab['content'].'</div>';
			        	}
			        } ?>
So shouldn't it work if I place the recommended IF statement line:

Code: Select all

<?php if (!(ctype_space($description) || $description == '')) { ?>
before this block and

Code: Select all

<?php } ?>
at the end of this block? Because doing this doesn't seem to do anything - the description tab still appears for products with no description. It suggests to me that the IF statement is not working properly. Is there an alternate way to write up that IF statement?
