I want to filter by attribute category for easy tabs

I want to filter by attribute category for easy tabs

I am utilizing template-master's easytab extension for my site.  It works great, however, I have a set of tabs that I only need shown for a specific attribute set.  They are the same information on each tab for all the products.  I have built them as cms blocks and that works fine.  But they are on every product.  I would like to be able to add some code that checks the attribute set and returns the tab if it is a part of the specified set, otherwise do not show the tab.  ANY IDEAS WOULD HELP!! Here is the cms.phtml code from which the tab is created:

 

<?php
    $id = $this->getCmsBlockId();
    if (empty($id)) {
        return;
    }
    ?>
<div class="product-specs">
    <?php
        echo $this->getLayout()
            ->createBlock('cms/block')
            ->setBlockId($id)
            ->toHtml();
    ?>
</div>

Re: I want to filter by attribute category for easy tabs

I solved it! 

1.  I added a new file that I named cmstab.phtml in the same folder as cms.phtml 

app/design/frontend/base/default/template/tm/easytabs/tab/

 

*In code below -  replace 'yoursetname'  with your own attribute set name:

 

 

<?php
     $_helper = $this->helper('catalog/output');
    $_prodID = Mage::registry('current_product')->getId();
    $_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($_prodID );

    $attributeSetModel = Mage::getModel('eav/entity_attribute_set');
    $attributeSetModel->load($_product->getAttributeSetId());
    $attributeSetName  = $attributeSetModel->getAttributeSetName();

?>
<?php if (0 == strcmp($attributeSetName, 'yoursetname')): ?>

<?php
    $id = $this->getCmsBlockId();
    if (empty($id)) {
        return;
    }
    ?>
<div class="product-specs">
    <?php
        echo $this->getLayout()
            ->createBlock('cms/block')
            ->setBlockId($id)
            ->toHtml();
    ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>   

 

 

2.  In easytab configuration it askes for widget options:    Identifier:  *put cms block identifier here  template:  *replace tm/easytabs/tab/cms.phtml with tm/easytabs/tab/cmstab.phtml

 

3.  Refresh your product - it now will only have cms tabs for your attribute set.
