J-BusinessDirectory - Adding additional Tabs in Directory listing detail

Hi,

I would like to know what the possibilities are of adding additional tabs in the directory detail listing - there is provision to add a tab (Extra tab information) in the Member Listing editing screen, but I have customers that want to add additional tabs to their entries besides just the one. If this is a possibility, what is it that you would recommend I do to get this enabled? Please advise.

Hi,

You can add predefined tabs with business custom attributes (Textarea).

Path: joomla back-end/Components/J-BusinessDirectory/Business Listings/Custom Attributes/ Create how many tabs you want

Meaby this is helping you. 

Hi,

In order to add multiple tabs you will need to modify the edit form, the database and the view page.
Custom tab can be also replaced with custom attributes as Slim suggested.

Thanks for your response!

I have already looked at the custom text options but the data is displayed on the profile detail not in the tabs.

What is required to modify the edit form and the database in order to increase the tab capacity beyond one extra (additional information)?

Hi,

You can check how the extra tab funtionality is implemeted and try to duplicate the functionality. You need to edit the {joomla}/administrator/components/com_jbusinessdirectorty/views/company/tmpl/edit.php and add the new fields also on companies table on database.

I like the concept that the "Business Contact Person" has - the ability via the link to add additional contact persons - maybe this could be incorporated into the additional tab structure...

Will give it a shot...

Do you think this could be incorporated into later versions and if so, what would the typical timeline be?

Hi,

We are going to develop new interfaces with some new features.
We are going to implement that in version 4.9.0 that will be released in about 2 months from now.

Good day George,

On the 8th March 2016, you posted a reply to my query:

I have recently updated my current version to 4.7.5

Do you have a timeline for the roll-out of 4.9.0 yet? I need to provide a fair idea for a customer.

Hi,

Currently it is possible to add only one custom tab.
You can add extra info using the custom attributes.
