Using FlyTabs in an existing theme 2 years, 8 months ago #398

Hi,

I recently purchased FlyTabs and I would like to incorporate the functionality of this theme into my existing theme (Standard Joomla/VirtueMart theme JA Larix).

I was hoping that I could simply copy relevant code from the FlyTabs theme into my existing theme. Is this possible? And, if yes, which part of the code need to be copied?
I only need the zoom / multiple image functionality. I would like to keep the add to cart box from my existing theme.


Your advise is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Eric

We don't normally give out large customizations for free (it's how we make our living), but I can give you a few good hints. Also, FlyTabs is completely css driven. If the theme you are using has tables you will have to adjust accordingly.

To handle all of the photo and video processing, copy everything from <div id='VMflyProductImageBox'> to (but not including) <div id='separatorBar1'>.

If you don't want the video stop just before <div id='VMflyVideoBox'>.

You will need everything in \com_virtuemart\themes\Flytabs\templates\product_details\includes\js with the exception of the SpryAssets folder (that's for tabs).

Copy ALL of the code (links and scripts) from the link to flypage.tpl.css through the link to thickbox.css. There will be entries in the css members you won't need, but you'll have to figure that out.

Follow the directions in the FlyTabs doc for loading images and video.

Of course, none of this has been tested and comes with no guarantee.

Hope this helps,

Jerry

Thanks Jerry.

I will give it a try and if I need more advise, I will come back to you. I don't mind paying for good products/information, after all... we all need to make a living.

Cheers,
Eric
