Product List Tabs e.g. 1-5, 6-10 etc

Hi Fergus,

We have been looking for a solution whereby customers could sort by price in either ascending or descending order. Would this lend itself to achieving that?

I did something like that in V7 about 2 yesra ago as an exercise. See http://www.drillpine.biz/v7php-test/...c_Products.php

It was a LOT of work to trick V7 into doing this. It should be easier in V8.

Is there any update on this?
Be defiantly interested in this...

Agreed, if it is an affordable mod which will work with v8 and v9 i would also be interested.

Yes, i was missing on that day. typical. i miss all the fun things.

ok, seo issues aside:
loading images dynamically, you should make a div, instead of an image, with the image link as a 'rel' or a title in your div. Then as the script triggers to load show the items, it also triggers the creation of an image in the div, using the 'rel' as its path. This way, you only load the images as their tabs get clicked on.

Hmm - nice addition Gabriel, almost the same suggestion as Norman's
We'll have a look at implementing that.

SEO issues:
Again, as per my earlier post #24 the jury is still out.
Until one of the SE guidelines catagorically state that CSS [display:none] is bad and/or such content does not get indexed, then we are playing a wait and see game.
Until then, it stands as an example of what can be done within Actinic and might be of use to some people.

If the SEO content of the page is not a priority and usability is, then perhaps it is something you could implement.

why dont you work out the height of a set of elements, and make a white box, then move the items under it.

your script could re-order the z-order of the items so that your clicked tab makes your page come to the front.
