Custom Field on More Info Page

[onemorew]

Lets start by looking at a page I did on a website I am working on at http://www.adventurecostumes.com/child-astronaut-costume.html This is using the new Ship-Shape template in Shopsite Pro Version 11 r1. You see that the product description is in what appears to be a tabbed are with the tab title being More Details followed by the product name. You will see that I have a table inserted which is a sizing chart which in the costume business is essential. I would love to be able to create another "tab" next to the More Details tab that would hold the sizong charts so that if a customer wants to see the chart, they can click on the tab and if they want to go back to the product details, they click on that tab. I have seen this set up on other sites (not Shopsite) and want to do the same thing

Any ideas? Is this what "Extra Product Fields" are for or?

Thanks

Extra product fields can be use for any purpose you can think of. They are there to give you places to put more information about your product that doesn't fit into one of the predefined fields. The fields can be used on store pages but they cannot be displayed on the shopping cart or checkout screens and they are not passed through with the order.

I have seen examples of what you are trying to do and that would be a place where the extra fields would be well used. I have noticed it on the product detail pages of harborfreight.com , where they have one tab for description, one for specification, one for manual and one for customer reviews. (They aren't using ShopSite it is just an example of what I think you are wanting)

I'm not a designer or programmer so I can't tell you how to do it. If you are well versed in html, javascript and css you could probably look at a site and figure out how they are doing it. Or you might check out the 3rd party developers listed on http://www.shopsite.com/csd.html I have heard that Mike Masim with @stuff does custom development like that. Other designers may also so you would have to chck with them and ee if the do that and what the price would be.

Here is a link to a ShopSite template designers site that explains how to do the tabs on the moreinfo page.
