    Default Add New Tab on Product Detail Page from Admin Side

    Hi,

    On admin side, I need to add a new tab in product detail page.
    You can see the product detail page at http://manual.aspdotnetstorefront.co...ttributes.aspx

    I need to add new tab in that list (Main, Images, Summary, Description, Extension Data, Search Engine, Products, Display Order)

    I need a tab that is like Summary or Description, that is with a rich text formatting.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Doru

    That won't be too complicated, just take a look at how we generate the existing tabs in /admin/entityEditProduct.aspx now. In ML8 we use ComponentArt pageviews and in ML9 we use AJAX TabPanels. Just add another one, then add the code for it in the codebehind.

    So if I want to add new Tab I need to upgrade to ML8 ? Is there an interface to add the new tab? or I need to change in the code?

    Thanks!

    It takes a little bit of coding to add more tabs, but nothing too complicated, and no source code required.

    Default Added The Tab but ..

    Hey Scott,

    I figured out how to add the tabs I needed to the product admin modal by following what was already there but my tab's HeaderText='<%$ Tokens:StringResource, admin.tabs.NewTab%>' never gets translated to the token value it displays the "admin.tabs.NewTab" instead. I thought I found the correct place for the string resource value but obviously not. The default ones just seem to work without any codebehind effort so I assume i just altered the wrong page. Can you tell me where i have to go to set this value?
