Magento: Merge Product Description and Addition Information Tab

Question

I am using Modern theme which separates all information into tabs.

I want to merge some of the tabs as visitors hate clicking.

Spent hours searching but can't fine one that actually works.

Here is example of what I want to achieve.

You can see description appears just above the Additional information (attributes)

How do I do this in Magento 1.7.0?

Thanks.

Answer 1

For Remove Additional Information Tab comment following code from catalog.xml

<action method="addTab" translate="title" module="catalog"><alias>additional</alias><title>Additional Information</title><block>catalog/product_view_attributes</block><template>catalog/product/view/attributes.phtml</template></action>  

For display Additional Information in Product Description Tab paste following code in
"catalog/product/view/description.phtml" file.

<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('catalog/product_view_attributes', '', array('template'=> 'catalog/product/view/attributes.phtml'))->toHtml(); ?>

Best Luck !!

As far as I know the tabs are added via the layout xml (see catalog.xml) in your package by the method "addTab".

Example:

<action method="addTab" translate="title" module="catalog"><alias>upsell_products</alias><title>We Also Recommend</title><block>

You could comment that line in catalog.xml and edit app/design/frontend/your_package/default/catalog/product/view.phtml and echo the information you want ;)

Answer 3

My settings were inside /app/design/frontend/mytheme/default/layout/local.xml changing what's inside the title tags

<block type="catalog/product_view_tabs" name="product.info.tabs" as="info_tabs" template="catalog/product/view/tabs.phtml" >

            <!-- Product description -->
            <action method="addTab" translate="title" module="catalog"><alias>description</alias><title>Description</title><block>catalog/product_view_description</block><template>catalog/product/view/description.phtml</template></action>

            <!-- Product attributes -->
            <action method="addTab" translate="title" module="catalog"><alias>additional</alias><title>Specifications</title><block>catalog/product_view_attributes</block><template>catalog/product/view/attributes.phtml</template></action>
